Hi Allan,

Thanks for helping us out here.  I have tried many times to get Edit in TextMate to load.   For example, just now, I removed InputManager from Library and used Bundles → TextMate → Install “Edit in TextMate”.  But the Symbolic Link button returned the message "The input manager (/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/Edit in TextMate) was not found in the TextMate application bundle."  Indeed, Edit In TextMate is not in Resources.  I opened Resources using the gear, and also looked inside Resources via the terminal with ls,  and it is not there.    I tried reloading TextMate from Macromates website and Edit in TextMate is still not anywhere to be found on my computer. I discarded old files and tried reloading again.    I also tried the link just above the Symbolic Link button and followed your instructions using terminal.  I always ran up against the same problem.   Where is Edit in TextMate?    

QuickCursor is not nearly as useful as Edit in TextMate, at least not to me.  You will quickly learn that QuickCursor simply uses the clipboard to move text from one file to another, and can lose data and formatting such as quotation level lines from mail.   It does not permit multiple edits without creating multiple files.  

Best regards,

Jenny
