It's interesting that you're saying this, because I've tried my best to keep with Eclipse standards whenever possible (and when I was aware such a standard existed). For the Tab story, currently tab is not "grokked" by the "command" system, but rather directly by the editor. But I could define both Tab and Ctrl+I (the eclipse's way of reindenting, though I find it pretty hard to use on a regular basis) for reindenting the current line. Hmm, it seems that people are still separate in two camps concerning this feature ... :) > As a tangent, does anyone else find the default structural editing shortcuts > fairly painful, e.g. overriding Mac defaults for goto-end-of-line, > select-next-word, etc? On Ubuntu, they are somewhat aligned with their corresponding meaning in other structure based editors. If you can come up with a better (as in approved by other Mac users) set of default keyboard bindings for Mac, I would be glad to change these defaults, no problem. But since I'm not a Mac user myself, it's up to you to be precise (what replaces what) about the new bindings.
