I've been using sublime text 2 for a month or so now and I am starting to become a big fan. I think that I'll purchase it soon. My requests...

1) Add all of the menu commands to the list of commands that show up when you press cmd-shift-p. It is very weird that some of the named commands (like convert to spaces) are available via cmd-shift-p, but others (like switch to 1 column view) are not.

2) I prefer the way textmate does multiple selection, where you can press a single key to toggle between regular selection mode and block selection mode.

Using cmd-shift-up/down in sublime text is very unpredictable. It works fine in the case you have several consecutive lines with no extra newlines in-between, but that is about it.

Though cmd-d to multi-select the next same word is pretty awesome.

3) Easier navigation between tabs in differnt split columns. I never remember the keys to switch between columns and I feel the existing normal tab management keys could do the job with a couple of tweaks.

For example, cmd-t is awesome, but I wish it was smart enough to automatically switch to an existing tab instead of opening a new tab with the same file in it.

Also, make cmd-shift-{ and cmd-shift-} move across all tabs and not just the tabs inside the currently selected column.

4) And lastly, the find in project results desperately need syntax coloring. It is so hard to scan a giant blob of plain white text.

Ackmate style file types would be nice too, but that isn't to big of a deal.

Again, awesome stuff. I can't wait to try out the vim bindings and I hope he keeps up the good work!
