Anyone able to get Zen Coding running on ST2? I'm following the instructions at: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=580...

Myself and a number of my coworkers have installed it. You basically just need to clone it into a folder called ZenCoding inside of your Packages folder. You can find the Packages folder by going to the Preferences > Browse Packages… menu entry. The alternative is using the package manager I wrote http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control . This also gives you the benefit of automatic updates and a whole bunc…

Package Control is very cool, thanks for creating it. As an author of a Sublime plugin (https://github.com/alexstaubo/sublime_text_alternative_autoc...), how do I submit that package to the list fetched with "Discover Packages"? Do I add the binary package file to my Github repo, and then ask you to add it to the official package repository?

Sublime is (excluding vim) by far the best text editor i've ever used. I just wish i could afford it.

You can download it for free. As far as I can tell, the only difference in the unregistered version is that it frequently pops a box asking if you want to register.

You can fork the package_control_channel on GitHub (https://github.com/wbond/package_control_channel) or BitBucket (https://bitbucket.org/wbond/package_control_channel) and send a pull request. That or you can email me.

You don't need to create a binary package file as Package Control can work directly with GitHub and BitBucket. Simply add the regular https URL to your repository.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's definitely an improvement. Though from what I can tell, it just adds the folder to the current project, which feels a bit odd. And having to open up Windows Explorer instead of just doing a File > Open Directory is clunky.

The newest build has "Open Folder…" in the File menu.

Thanks. I just saw that. Not sure why, but I didn't see it until after I restarted the program twice.

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab navigate through the "stack" of recently opened views (files). Is this what you mean?

That only cycles between currently open tabs, so that's not quite the same. The genius of TextMate's go-to-file pane was that before you started typing, it would list your recently closed files, so the go-to-file pane had two functions in one, both servicing the need to open something that is not currently open.

That sounds like a mix of switching recent tabs and Goto File (ctrl+p/cmd+p).

This (not time limiting) is really useful for folks that want to keep testing it from time to time until some feature is available.

Ah, excellent. I went for the pull request method.
