I agree with the labeling part, I've fixed the whole creation process  
so you don't have to leave the keyboard to label a widget, when  
creation is called from Textmate, the widget appears and the whole  
text input box is selected so you can immediately type in the name  
without using the mouse. I've also detected enter/return being  
pressed, so when it is the widget flips back around.

I notice now that all the other bundles have the capitalization rule  
you've described, I've fixed this in the bundle, as well as giving it  
a more descriptive name - Widget Creator.

As I mentioned in my other post to Thomas, I've updated http:// 
homepage.mac.com/andy.herbert/Widget.tmbundle.zip to include all the  
changes I've mentioned. Thanks for showing an interest.
