I like this a lot. I really wish they'd add the tab functionality to Stack Overflow. I can't count the times I've tabbed out of the text box there.

Ok I'll be the pendant that says it...you probably can't appropriate the image of Austin Powers for your open source library. Not that Mike Myers seems the type to flip out about it, but his movie studio probably is.

Otherwise, great work...and it behaves reasonably well even on iOS

I'll be the pedant to mention that a pendant is worn around the neck.

If only TextWrangler had auto-completion and auto-pairing of brackets and quotes.

This is awesome. I'm using http://ace.ajax.org/ right now in production and it's a huge heavyweight pain (but still the best thing out there). If only this had syntax highlighting i'd switch in an instant.

> var editor = new Behave({

> var editor = Behave({

Is it a constructor or not?
