any reason in particular that this doesn't support osx10.6?

Re: A new Light Table experience
#22I'm a web designer (PSD -> WordPress) and I started learning programming around the time Light Table was funded on KickStarter. It's been nice to see the project grow with my programming skills. Although I still don't feel like a decent programmer, it's nice to see what my small $15 investment has helped create. :)

#23There's something weird going on when using the trackpad on OS X. My trackpad is set to "natural scrolling", but if I scroll really fast the editor seems to scroll in the other direction.
I think that might be a bug in CodeMirror[1], does it happen consistently? I'll see what I can track down. [1]: http://codemirror.net/
Changing the trackpad direction doesn't have any effect, still the same issue.

#24What going back over the old demo and looking at this post did was remind me of how nice jsfiddle is when it isn't insanely slow, which then led me to wonder how hard it would be to create something like jsfiddle that lived on top of github would be, or something like jsfiddle that lived inside my favorite editor, or just in a static html page on my desktop.

#25This is a very pretty editor. That said, I have no freaking idea what I'm supposed to do. I've been messing around with it for around 15 minutes now, and I still don't understand it. I added a PHP website folder and got no code hinting or anything else beyond "here is the match for your parenthesis" for either PHP or Javascript. This also resulted in my "navigate" tab being filled with SVN meta-files. I am quite conf…
Same here. I really WANT to use this, but I added a PHP project and it doesn't seem to do anything. I can't even Ctrl+F to find something in the file. I'm looking everywhere for hotkeys to do things, but there's no documentation I can find. I was expecting some kind of awesome interface like "Ctrl-Left Arrow" to bring up the left bar, then type in your command and press enter and it does magic and hides the bar. But I guess at this point I'd take a find hot key.
To the creator: I love the idea and got enthusiastic after watching the video. Keep up with the hard work! This is a huge undertaking.
Edit* OK, so Ctrl+Space enters the command window. From there you can type "Key" and press enter to view the key bindings. I'm not sure why I had to go three layers deep into a google groups conversation to get that though.

#26Which languages does it support?
It's a general editor and can open most things out there, however the eval stuff is limited to Clojure, ClojureScript, JavaScript, and CSS.
Out of curiosity - I haven't followed this project in technical detail - are you using SWANK or your own backend work?
I would be interested in experimenting with it for Common Lisp, you see. :)

#27I get the error:
"LightTable.app" is damaged and can't be opened.
I'm running OSX 10.8.2.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Are there any dependancies I need to have installed before running the app?

This is OSX's gatekeeper going crazy because our codesign included the icns file (which then got compressed and no longer verifies). I'm uploading a new package right now. As a workaround you can go to security in system settings, set it to allow anything to run, open LightTable.app, close it and then re-enable the old gatekeeper setting. LT will open fine thereafter. Or you can just redownload in about 2 minutes.

#30Has anyone started using LT? Is it productive? Should java devs even bother with this? Thank you.
It's not going to be more useful to a Java developer than Eclipse is currently, but that's because we're going after a very different end goal. FWIW, all our work is done in LT and it is far more efficient than I used to be with Vim.
Is there a screencast where I can see you being more efficient in LT than Vim?
