I am using it on Ubuntu 10.10, looks amazing, is there any way to add syntax highlighting for other languages (Go in my case)

It's generally just a matter of getting your hands on a .tmLanguage file (the same format as TextMate), and putting it somewhere in your packages directory (~/.Sublime Text 2/Packages/ on Linux).

The top Go.tmLanguage reported by Google appears to be a work in progress though, I'll see if I can get something sorted for the next version - I'd like to have Go support out of the box.

It looks Great. Could this be emacs's missing editor?[1]

I literally had never heard of this before. I just downloaded it for Ubuntu and HOT DAMN! I am buying this for sure. For anyone waiting for textmate 2, give this a look. It may very well be just what you are looking for. Best part is you can completely change all the keybindings (if you want) so you can create your VIM or Emacs setup if you so choose. Happy day....

This is awesome, I too hadn't heard of it before.

Killer features beyond just being so good:

1) Available for every platform (learn once, use everywhere)

2) Licensed per user (buy once, use everywhere)

Loving it already and will purchase imminently.

Edit: Would love it even more if I had a basic vim keymap at hand and could always grab. Looking for most of the basic navigation, editing (yank, delete, paste, etc), search/replace and stuff like that.

Perhaps I'm using it incorrectly, but the Folders option does not seem to be working for me on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10

It should be just a matter of dragging a folder onto the side bar (or using the Project/Add Folder to Project menu item) - drop me an email (jps@sublimetext.com) if this isn't working for you.

"No libgio so found" when I ran this on a 32 bit Linux (RHEL5).

Would a statically linked Linux executable work for this?

Nevermind I take it back, I just had a lot of files, took a while to load. This is tremendous!! Plus you don't really need the file browser with the Go To Anything functionality.

I'm running into a few miscellaneous usability issues. Hopefully this public alpha helps shed some light on them and help jskinner polish this app to beta and release. Is there a public forum or site that we can report these to (something like getsatisfaction or tender for customer support)?

I stopped reading when I saw that CMD+P does "Goto Anything" instead of print. Please use standard keyboard shortcuts... Too bad because it looked awesome!

Looks great, but any chance of a static compiled version for Linux 32/64bit? I'm getting: ./sublime_text: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Linking with ln -s /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 doesn't work: ./sublime_text: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by ./sublime_text)

Which libraries are you referring to? Statically compiling GTK would seem a step too far. EDIT: Ah, you've added that now. I'll do some investigation: could you let me (jps@sublimetext.com) know which distro you're running? (I'm the author of Sublime Text, btw)

Help -> About, then close Sublime 2, the About dialog still remains.
