This is the default behavior of document based apps on OS X starting with Lion. For instance: TextEdit behaves this way.
Yeah, if you've been extensively using Lion for document editing, this may not seem like a big deal anymore, but in Sublime it works just as well on Windows too.

Well, that would really take a lot of work, to make it good. There's some commented-out logic in the 'official' Cappuccino plugin for ST, that takes into account the scope and then works backwards to try to figure out what type of object you are messaging. https://github.com/aparajita/Cappuccino-Sublime But I think the reason that's commented out is that it is easy to get some parts working, but to do it right you ne…
The reason that I ask is that I feel I am getting stuck with C# simply due to the comfort of Intellisense. I have to find some way of replicating that experience with other languages... I know other languages of course, but it just feels like a hassle to code without Intellisense these days :p
I think to eventually get there, though, we need open-source solutions to get as good as JetBrains, Microsoft, and Apple. Otherwise you get Apple's great (for Obj-C only) CodeSense, but you have to use their horrible, auto-corrupting, fucking disgrace of an IDE. Or to get RubyMine's absolutely unparalleled Ruby code introspection and completion, you have to use their gut-wrenchingly horrible Java monstrosity.
When the indexing and completion are decoupled from the editing environment, that's the magic sauce that will make the open source solutions fork and flourish, and good completion will finally be like toilet paper and hot water.
That's why I am really happy with editors ilk ST2 which provide good infrastructure to make things like SublimeCodeIntel possible.
I'm 37, I program a lot, and my finger joints are wearing out. Typing every single fucking character of code is insane.

I hope Jetbrains makes their own kick-ass C# coder-style environment. I don't care if it's Java and IntelliJ as the shell.
There are loads of things VS2010 does that I simply don't need, I just need Speed, Solutions, Projects, Building, Running, Debugging, Version Control and the things Resharper already does.
Cmon Jetbrains, you can do it!!! Please?

Now now, let's not be hasty. Here's a text-mode app with thumbnails across the bottom of the screen: http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/neercs

#76I'm torn between using a nice proprietary editor like this, or a fine open source one like Scribes, or even going further into the command line world like Vim.
I hope the developer is able to live comfortably while working full time on his own endeavors, rather than relegate them to a hobby, and himself into wage slavery.

I think you are looking for the CodeIntel plugin. It takes a few minutes to index large projects, but after that, it's really fast and Alt + Click will take you to the definition of things. I switched completely from TextMate. Take a look: https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel
Supports all the languages Komodo Editor supports for Code Intelligence (CIX, CodeIntel2): PHP, Python, RHTML, JavaScript, Smarty, Mason, Node.js, XBL, Tcl, HTML, HTML5, TemplateToolkit, XUL, Django, Perl, Ruby, Python3. Where's C? Where's C++? Where's Java? That's disappointing.

If you have dynamically typed languages in mind, give it a try without completion, you might be surprised - different paradigm depreciates completion quite a bit.

Good software is worth paying for. I hope the developer is able to live comfortably while working full time on his own endeavors, rather than relegate them to a hobby, and himself into wage slavery.
