TextMate 2.0

TextMate users have been waiting for the 2.0 release of their beloved text editor for over 5 years. Hints that it was 90% complete and full of exciting features kept fans anxiously waiting. Today, Allan Odgaard has finally released a “public alpha” of TextMate 2.0. It is currently available to anyone who has a TextMate license.

After having played with the editor for a bit, I have to say I really like the changes. Some notable changes are:

  • Project drawer – replaced with a file browser sidebar, it includes SCM-badging.
  • Search in project – merged with regular find dialog.
  • Folder specific settings – variables and settings can now be set on a folder basis.
  • Themes – you can now change font and font sizes per scope.
  • Snippets – new syntax for pop-up menus.
  • Session restore – now restores the full session including unsaved changes.
