[TextMate] smart typing in 1.0.2b1

[Eric Hsu]

It's great to see such weekly improvement of this product!

Smart typing is almost incredibly cool. I like the 'no doubling if 
there's text in front' and the 'surround selection with braces' is 
awesome... I was about to try to write a macro or command to simulate 
this.

Issue 1. Documents with syntax highlighting disabled don't have smart 
typing turned on, regardless of setting. I assume this is a little 
bug and not intended behavior.

Issue 2.  If I'm typing in the middle of the ()'s, I still have to 
right-arrow over the last ) to get to the rest of the typing.  Am I 
supposed to be able to Tab out of the braces somehow?  Otherwise, 
it's not really saving me a keystroke since -> and ) are about 
equally hard for me to hit.

Alpha under OS9 had an interesting implementation of this, where they 
used bullets like • to mark tab stops; then when you hit Tab, 
you knew you were jumping to the next bullet...
