In other words the second script overwrites the content of the HTML window. If I go back in that one HTML window I can see content of the first script but only to that point when the second was started.

This bugged me enough to write an external app that sort of does this:

Here a sample bundle using it:

I am hoping this is just a temporary solution, but given how much still needs to be done in TM2 it might not be that temporary at all.

I have used it exclusively since a few days after it came out. Some good ideas in it, but it has a long way to go to be what I hoped TM2 to be.

Sometimes I wish Allan would just concentrate on the editor view itself and provide a plugin system. So we could mold it to be what we want, and topics like project support or not, level of SCM integration etc. would all be moot, as we can just write our own!
