Sublime Text 2 is a text editor for OS X, Linux and Windows, currently in beta.

Highlighted text automatic quotes
I actually thought this had started working in the latest build but it doesn't always seem to invoke the same expected behaviour, sometimes appending the opposing quote or not.

Textmate like snippets (at least in LaTeX)
In TextMate in LaTeX bundle, you have 4 different types of calling snippets (I will put a very understandable example, $0 is the placement of the cursor):
- LaTeX symbol based on current word. i.e. If you write s and you use this command you get \sigma $0.
- Command Based on current word. i.e. if you write s and use this you get \sum_{$1}^{$2} $0.
- Environment based on current word. i.e. if you write s and use this you get \begin{s} $0 \end{s} (or what you have defined before).
- And, at last, Snippets (true snippets, as simple as in Sublime Text). i.e. if you write mat and press Tab button you get \begin{${1:pvbPVBsmall}matrix} $0 \end{matrix} (exactly, at least the same way as in Sublime Text).
I wish you could add this option to your program, I mean, one (configurable) key combination for each one of this four kinds of snippets. Anyway, I wait for your answer (saying yes or no, but please tell me you read that). In case of NO as answe, I would really appreciate to hear about your reason.
Ah, and a very very nice program.

Some way to choose which window new files are opened in
Currently, opening a file in the Finder will open the file in the last-used window (if "open_files_in_new_window" is disabled, which imo it should be by default). However, this is not very intuitive as I won't necessarily want the file to end up in that window.
It would be handy if we could designate a "default" window that new files are opened in (perhaps clicking a little icon on the window somewhere).
The way BBEdit does it that I find works quite well is that new files (that aren't already open elsewhere) open in a single non-project window. Typically I will have a bunch of project windows open and another catch-all window for misc files I'm working on that don't belong to an open project.

Option to ensure file ends with empty line upon saving
(For those familiar with SciTE, I am talking about the option named: ensure.final.line.end.)

Open function reference when pressed F1
1. With a reference help file (chm), searching for the function there
2. Going to the language reference site (i.e.: php.net) and search there
So the suggestion is to add a setting to set a help file path which sublime will open and search for the function behind the cursor and the when F1 is pressed.
Or if not configured, open a browser and go to the language site and it's function page

The default HTML snippets are not up to the HTML5 standard
The default HTML snippets <script> and <style> and <link rel="stylesheet" href=""> style have type="text/css" or type="text/javascript", which are both irrelevant in HTML5. They are quite annoying to delete.

different color themes in mulitple windows.
use case:
- many different projects with similar file structure in many opened windows
- sublime displays project name only in the title bar if no file is opened
- hard to tell which project belongs to which window
idea:
- allow assignement of color theme in the sublime-project file.
- so every project is opened with it's own color theme
- you can see immediatly what's the meaning of this window
