Hi,

First, I love this software. Finally i can get TextMate power on my windows machine.

That being said, there are a couple of things that help in TextMate that dont seem to be implemented here.

1. Ctrl+T should allow me to go to a file.
2. Ctrl+Shift+T should allow me to go to a symbol
3. Alt+Shift+ > created the "<%= %>", but in TextMate, if you call it again, it will create "<% %>". Currently, E-Text adds another set of "<%= %>"
4. Change Tab sizes. It looks like the current tab sizing is 4 spaces and i was wondering if this could be changed.
5. Have the bundles hold their selection. Currently, when I open a Rails project, all the .rb files are set to Ruby. I have to manually change them to Ruby(Rails). If i save them and reopen, they go back to Ruby.


Other than that, it's a very good port of textmate.


Thanks

Jake

You can set tabs on the status bar at the bottom of the window.

You can also modify bundle syntax files to associate file types with specific grammars.

how?

I see the file types section, but almost all rails files are .rb. How do you force it to go to Ruby(Rails) first instead of Ruby

Copy the Rails folder and the Ruby folders to local, then edit the local copy of plist under Syntaxes. You could try removing <string>rb</string> from the <key>fileTypes</key> array under Ruby and add <string>rb</string> to the <key>fileTypes</key> array in the grammar syntax you want to associate with .rb files.

Will that work?

There should be a way to edit this by way of the existing interface. Too much hacking and modding can ultimately steer some users away for in order to reach similar nirvana with existing users they must traverse core files and such. Just a thought.
