[TxMt] Re: Projects are gone in TM2?

[Davide Rambaldi]

Guys, but you don't have nothing to do other that testing the alpha version of TM? :-)

You don't some code to write?

Just joking, but flames against me are welcome!

ciao!

There is simply the one I am working on at the moment.  And if I do not get back to it for a year, I want the files associated with that project to still be there.

Yes, some may prefer these files, and for the most part, they still use emacs & vi.  I'm not knocking either of these, as I'm a huge fan of vi.  But for anyone to say that editing the dot files is more flexible then a well-thought out preferences pane, ala Qt Designer or to a lesser extent Xcode, they are just deluding themselves.  I'm interested in replacing all of my use of vim largely do to the difficulty of quickly understanding what is going on and why, and the enormous number of keyboard shortcuts one needs to remember to be proficient with the editor.  Oh, and I see you referenced how many shortcuts?  Huh,

And there are far too many to add to favorites. tmproj was a nice way to have almost a symlink for TextMate, if you will, to the bundle.
