Important is rather subjective :) By far split view is the issue that has gathered the most comments, but I also think it’s pretty complex because the usability aspect is unclear and there are issues related to having multiple views of the same document then sharing caret/selections and undo/redo history. If I were to suggest something then it would be https://github.com/textmate/textmate/issues/94 — though rather than have the arrow expand/collapse the text fields, have them adapt in size similar to the text field used in Adium. If we had such adaptive text field, I would also use it in Preferences → Projects (for the pattern text fields) and other places where content can become one long line. With the new constraint based layout this should be doable as a self-contained class as a view can now call [self invalidateIntrinsicContentSize] and trigger a relayout of the containing window. Currently the Find window does not use constraint based layout, so it would need to be converted first. I’ll gladly help out with some of this. _______________________________________________ textmate-dev mailing list textmate-dev@lists.macromates.com http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate-dev
