Whole project function list
Currently, by pressing ctrl+R one gets funciton lists only for the current file.
It would be great if by pressing a slightly modified key sequence, let's say, ctrl+shift+r gets php/js function names for the whole project.

Dragging down line numbers should select last line
Clicking a line number and dragging down over other lines should select all lines within that range including the final line the mouse is over (currently the last line is not included in selection, which differs from standard behavior in other apps).
It would also be nice if the cursor flipped horizontally when the mouse moves over the line numbers, indicating the "select line" mode (and not change to an I-beam while dragging).

TTY version!!!
As a longtime, die-hard Emacs user I found Sublime Text 2 is simply awesome; however the only thing that's keeping me from purchasing it is it's lack of a plain text mode because easily I spend half of my editing time on a tmuxed console.
Having Sublime Text 2 available for console -with the same functionality graphical version have- would be simple amazing.
Btw: an Emacs-like key-binding feature would be greatly welcome also!

API for language syntax
Regexes cannot handle complex language constructs. Parser would be a much better match in many situations.
One example may be support for nested block comments.
Please provide an API to allow hooking external parser to process language syntax (determine scopes).
Implementation details may vary, but it is important to have some solution for cases when regex is not appropriate. For example, this could be done similarly to API-injected completions.

display selected character's unicode value
When selecting a character the status bar says "1 characters selected". It would be nice if it also displayed the unicode value for the characters that were selected. I do a lot of localization work.

Open a new window when you middle click the taskbar icon in Windows 7/8.
When you middle click (or Shift+click) an icon of a program that's already running in the taskbar in Windows 7/8 the standard behavior is to open a new instance of the program. Sublime doesn't seem to comply with that and instead focuses on the currently open window.

"Order by" for project folders
Since we can remove files/folders it would be extremely useful for us to then be able to order by extension types.
We have a lot of .less and .css files which would be easier to read through if they were organised .css then .less rather than by name.

Cloned file should not warn on save if file is currently open in other views.
Currently when closing a cloned view of a file that is currently open and has changes, you will get a warning box. Since the file is still open, this is unnecessary.
I have a plugin that 'splits' the buffer into two groups. When I close the buffer, I just save the file so I don't get the warning. This is troublesome, but the best workaround at the moment.

Advanced word separators
The ability of specifying word separators is great.
However there are many cases where their treatment is a bit counter-intuitive (see below).
Proposal in brief: three separate settings (word breaks indicated by | )
If you consider backslash as a word separator in LaTeX, you end up not being able to select a command as a single word, by double clicking for example. But if you exclude it from the word separators two commands in a row would be considered as a single word e.g.: "\cmd\cmd".
My solution would make this work as expected and is general and clean enough to find applications in other use cases.
However there are many cases where their treatment is a bit counter-intuitive (see below).
Proposal in brief: three separate settings (word breaks indicated by | )
- special_chars: they get treated as the current word_separators. i.e. word boundaries precede and follow them as in "bla |bla|:| bla"
- pre_word_separators: they introduce a word boundary only before themselves. e.g.: "bla|\bla| bla" but not "bla|\|bla| bla"
- post_word_separators: they introduce a word boundary only after themselves. e.g.: "bla |bla'|bla" (think of prime in math mode, not string quotes.)
