Beginner programmer here. I could not use any other editor. Does anyone know if you can collapse functions or blocks of code?

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!

Please feel free to click in Preferences -> User Key bindings and make any overrides you need to make.

Ok thanks! Nonetheless, I think it should ship with standard defaults...

This looks nice and I will give it a try. But when will coding editors set the tab key to "spaces" by default? It's not just this editor but Eclipse and others.

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....

completely agree - this is wow stuff. God I wish all software on Linux looked like this.

not that i don't appreciate good software, but 60$ for an editor seems a bit steep...especially with all the great alternatives out there. Lower the upfront cost and I'd be more likely to buy and pay for future 3.0 update. Thanks!

Type this:

  import os.

Pressing ctrl+space produced no hint or auto-complete. Does anybody know why ?

Another thing I have tried: executing ./sublime_text /mycode/

doesn't import/open that directory within ST, it just opens up blank.

I'm pointing these out to ask for solutions, not to nit pick.

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)?

There isn't a public issue tracker yet, no. The best place at the moment for reporting issues is the forum: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum

As much as possible, I do try and follow the conventions of the host OS. Cmd+P is the only exception, which I feel I can get away with due to there being no support for printing yet (and a few other historical reasons, where Ctrl+P is used for similar functionality in Sublime Text 1).

Does Default Key Mappings have every possible command? If not, is there a complete list available somewhere?
