Sublime Text 2 - 2126. Hot Exit, Code Folding, and more.
sublimetext.comThe only things missing (for me) is a global replace function [1] and 2-pane diff [2]. Hopefully they'll get implemented if they get enough votes. That said, I now use ST2 as my main editor and think it's the best software purchase I've made in years.

I second this. Especially the 2-pane diff feature which would be SUPER useful.
Excellent! I especially love the improvements to Vintage mode. More progress towards replacing most of Vim's basic functionality so us Vimsters can switch without losing anything.
Two more essential Vim ingredients to draw in the Vim crowd:
* Relative line numbers
* Ability to do stuff like "d/hello" or "ma", move cursor down, "v`a". Right now it just searches for "hello" or goes to the mark 'a' without visually selecting it
Best editor I've used. My favorite feature is the code preview map on the side, but in general it's highly customizable and very smooth.
Personally, I really like the fact that single-clicking on an item in the folders list doesn't permanently open a tab, but just shows you the content, and if you click on something else the buffer is replaced with that. Very nice to browse through a project without having umpteen open tabs or having to close each buffer manually.
They do have to work on the platform integration a bit. Speaking of the folders view, usually on a Mac, Option+Click expands the whole tree. I miss that functionality a lot…
(Also, I wonder how far you can get without an actual Preferences dialog, but as a veteran of dot files, I'm not sure how big of a detriment that actually is.)
This is really getting tempting! Before I procrastinate hours away by learning a new editor:
Does ST2 have advanced editing features like vim's cit, ysaw( or ci'?
I'd really love to switch a to modern editor with a scripting language I like. But I use the constructs above all the time and would dearly miss them.
Vintage Mode supports cit, and ci' directly. For normal editing, there are equivalents like Expand Selection to Tag (Command+Shift+A / Ctrl+Shift+A)
Great!
Is it possible to remap Esc to other keys? Most vim users use jj or jk instead of Esc and when in command mode space instead of :.
Vintage Mode is implemented entirely via key bindings and a few plugins (which come as commented python source). Everything is customisable, there are some details at http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html
I couldn't help but send you money Sir. Please keep up the great work!
Think this build adds in ^-[ as an alias for Esc.
So very happy to see forward progress being made on this, I'm not really a fan of the way the code folding works right now, but I imagine in due time, it will get to the point where pointing and clicking on the actual UI will get folding/unfolding to toggle instead of having to use a menu selection.
Also, are there any plans for intellisense stuff ... for javascript/html etc at some point?
With just one license I can run Sublime 1 or 2 beta in my Mac Book my Linux laptop at home and a windows desktop. Already bought a license. I'm new to Mac and want to try Textmate but the multiplatform feature of Sublime is a plus. In the other side lot of awesome hackers are rubyists and they dont feel very comfortable writing pligins on python.
I really like this editor and it's began to replace textmate on my Macs. I really miss the ability to create plugins in Ruby as it's my main programming language and I don't want to learn Python. I'll buy a license as soon as the final version is released.
Best text editor for me on Windows since Intype and eTexteditor died.
Also, the developper is really a nice guy and very productive (many updates this week for example). Folding came when it was not expected: congrats.
Love the code folding. Would love it even more if I could click on the UI to fold/unfold. Great job!
It rocks...
