Re: TextMate finally gets an update

#12

As a warning, TM removed the opt+tab and opt+shift+tab keyboard shortcuts in this point release (they're now cmd+[ and cmd+]). I was able to get one of them working via keyboard preferences, but the other was inserting literal tab characters. After a few minutes of trying to hunt that down I downgraded. Nothing in the release notes was something I'd personally had a problem with.

This was in the release notes.

Tab changing shortcuts were in the release notes, the indenting change was not. You can see in the release notes that were pasted elsewhere in this thread.

This doesn't seem to be that much of a change. Is there a wish list that people loved to see?

At this point, it's clear that TextMate won't be getting any major new changes unless the developer releases TextMate 2. I was surprised to see even these small fixes after such a dry spell.

My biggest gripe with TM 1.5 is how Find in Project still beachballs on a new 3.33 6-core Westmere RAID 10 setup.

Even after hearing everyone else's problems with FiP, I thought it might have been the slow HD in my last iMac.

It's not. ;)

Definitely use the "Ack In Project" bundle instead of "Find in Project". It's like night and day.

Cool, getting errors with it ATM but am definitely checking this out. Sounds promising.

TextMate is my favourite editor on the Mac, only recently have I been using MacVim on my work computer since as a startup they are unable to purchase a license for TextMate. Honestly though, there are some things in MacVim I am now starting to miss in TextMate.

A company that can pay a developer salary but won't pay the cost of that developer's favorite text editor has its priorities out of whack.

Cmd+[ has been used for indenting for a while now, though... At least that's the only way I've ever done it.

Almost a year since the last!

Doesn't that potentially say something about the quality of the existing code? I've been using textmate daily for the last year and haven't had any gripes (not implying their aren't any, especially for programmers - but for my needs it's been stellar. Sometimes a good app is just a good app and doesn't need constant updates)
