[TxMt] textmate 2 - expandrive and ctl-s

[Hal Roberts]

Hi All,

Thanks so much for textmate.  It has been my happy coding home since I 
switched to OSX about 8 years ago.

I've been trying out textmate 2, and I really like it with the exception 
of two glitches that I haven't been able to figure out.

The first is that I can't get cmd-t to work happily with expandrive. 
cmd-t seems not to find files in a given folder until I open that 
particular folder in the file browser sidebar.  I can option-click the 
main folder to get it to open every folder, and this works initially, 
but it the files disappear from cmd-t after some period, so I have to 
repeat the option-click or manually browse through the file interface to 
open the file.  I'm a keyboard guy, and I really miss just being to hit 
cmd-t and type in a file name to open a file.

Any ideas for how to fix this?  I don't mind much something a little 
kludgy like having to option-click the parent folder each time I sit 
down to a coding session, but having to do so every 20 minutes or, 
worse, having to manually navigate the file browser interface for files, 
is harshing my happy coding juju.

Secondly, I retain a habit of searching using ctl-s from my previous 
long run with emacs.  In Textmate 2, ctl-s is difficult to use because 
it does not wrap by default.  I can just use cmd-f instead, but I mostly 
using the find function to navigate around source files, and I 
aesthetically dislike popping up the giant find and replace box just to 
do basic quick navigation.  Is there any way to change ctl-s back to 
doing a wrapped search?

Thanks again for a great tool!
