Not sure what menus you are referring to, but tm_dialog allows  
commands to do a lot of things.

Make a feature request, with some examples of why this is needed.  
I've never felt the need for it. You can of course create commands  
that overwrite the cmd-S or cmd-W functionality and do whatever you  
want them to, for at least those cases of "closing".

Can do with TextMate's dynamic environment variables: http:// 
macromates.com/textmate/manual/environment_variables

A macro using Find or other ways of selecting could do this,  
depending on what you wanted to do.

Again you can use a Macro, or use the txmt:// scheme in a Command, or  
(last resort) use a command that replaces the entire document with a  
snippet, placing $0 at the location you want the caret to go.


I would venture to guess that adding an embedded interpreter would  
require a major overhaul of TM, and given that Allan hasn't done such  
a thing already I would guess that he does not consider it important  
enough.

TextMate is different than other editors, and I have often found that  
it helps to learn to do things "the TM way", rather than fighting  
with TM to make it see things your way. Just my opinion.
