Thanks for adding indent guides; that's one of the must-have features of Komodo Edit for me.
Please do buy it after you'll be convinced that this is the best editor you have ever used :)
Needs C-[ to double for Esc.
Agreed - I'll make sure this gets in for the next version
I still use Code Browser (http://code-browser.sf.net) which is oriented around folding. One feature from it that I really miss in other editors is the "Clone Window" function that creates a new tab of the same file, scroll and cursor position. IMO, this beats using bookmarks because you simply close the new tab to go back to where you were.
Have they sorted out the rubbish file manager yet? When I open a directory I don't need an animation of the contents sliding in from the right. This slows me down. I want to switch to ST2 but there's just too many little things holding me back.
- No icons. Makes it hard to differentiate between files and directories at a glance. - No drag and drop, you cant quickly copy and move files. - Renaming files is clunky (on OS X at least). - Right clicking a file doesn't give you many useful options. - Doesn't match the host OS's file manager very well. It's some sort of weird middle ground; on Windows it should act like Explorer, on OS X it should use the same conventions as Finder.
Compare the file manager to the ones in Coda and Espresso and it's fairly poor. I know the ctrl/cmd + p shortcut is pretty amazing but sometimes you don't know exactly what you're looking for and have to fall back to browsing through a codebase to find what you're after.
This post sounds a bit hateful, but I really like the rest of ST2. It's just the file manager which gives me grief.
ST2 is brilliant. If you're used to TextMate, I encourage you to give it a whirl. I think the trial version is an "unlimited" trial. It only nags you with a dialog box once in a while.
You should still buy it though. The authors made a great product and deserve to be compensated well for their work.
Maybe add some Apple/Linux/Window icons or text on the top somewhere so they show on all your pages? Looking forward to trying it out!
I had real trouble finally finding a reference of the configuration settings. The official documentation on version 2 on sublimetext.com is still in its very beginnings and it wasn't clear to me that sublimetext.info is actually valid documentation for version 2.
As a hint: Maybe add a comment to the global configuration file poiting to http://sublimetext.info/docs/en/reference/settings.html for a list of possible settings plus a note to add the settings to the user configuration file.
On a related note, the reason I want to turn off remember_open_files is because for me Sublime is not the editor I'm doing most of my project work in (I'm using IDEA with Rails and PHP plugins), so Sublime (or currently TextMate) is just something I use for quickly opening a few specific files on the command line or from finder.
Seeing all the old files open alongside the current one is just distracting, so I really need it to forget about previous incarnations.

ST looks really promising and I am excited to see where it will go. I still use Code Browser ( http://code-browser.sf.net ) which is oriented around folding. One feature from it that I really miss in other editors is the "Clone Window" function that creates a new tab of the same file, scroll and cursor position. IMO, this beats using bookmarks because you simply close the new tab to go back to where you were.
