That's not going to be an option. Hopefully there is going to be some
useful bundle for you as well in the future.
I'm certainly not complaining about the lack of bundles that are
applicable to me. On the rare occasions when I want to tightly integrate
two or more applications into a single workflow, I take ten minutes and
write a macro that's customized to my particular situation. I don't need
and don't want such functionality built into the product. Where does it
end? Will the Command menu one day include fifty applications?
A needlessly cluttered interface has a way of becoming more cluttered
with each release and detracts from the perceived quality of the
product. One of the things I appreciate about applications such as
BBEdit is the extent to which they allow customization of menus and
shortcuts. The interfaces to unneeded functionality are seamlessly
removable, leaving an application that is lean, clean, and easier to
use. And when customers are able to customize their product, they are
more likely to remain loyal to it.
I'm sure that it's easier for the developer to implement this kind of
functionality earlier in a product's development than later, and I hope
you'll consider it.
