It would be very cool if we could do enhanced replacing with regular expressions that capture numbers.

I would like to write a regular expression that captures a number and then make use of the captured number in the replace field and add an offset to it for example.

This would be very useful for files that contain positions or coordinates which need an offset.

Please, document the unattended (silent) install options for Sublime into Win32/Win64.

I already found the /VERYSILENT /NORESTART, but I wish to also install the (Windows Explorer) context menu items. There is already a command-line parameter for this?

I have two machines, a fast one for work, and a slower one for side projects. I relied on Crimson Editor before coming across Sublime Text. It had some good features, but best of all it opened almost instantly. Trying to keep a clean taskbar, I only keep open the applications I'm actively using. Speed is important when opening new code files so that flow isn't disrupted.

Could there be an option to run Sublime Text in the background so that opening files is lightning-fast? Chrome does this to keep the browser feeling fast and it's a wonderful experience. It also has a "run in background on startup" option so it feels extremely responsive from the first "run".

Some (probably minor) gripes about find and replace in ST2, and not in any particular order. I think this is the area where I feel the most frustration with ST2 on a daily basis.

For those of us lucky enough to have 27" monitors, having the find & replace text & options on the far left hand side and the buttons on the far right hand side results in a lot of mouse and eyeball travel to operate the dialog box. This is especially true if you are editing a buffer on the far left of a multi-column layout in full screen mode. I think it would be better if the dialog box was kept smaller & closer to the action - perhaps even just at the bottom of the current column only? (it's 60cm wide at the moment!) 

There's no default keyboard shortcut for the Replace button in Find/Replace (or at least none is shown in the tooltip).  

When you press Find in Find/Replace the found text is highlighted with a bright yellow background. If you replace the text, the cursor moves to the next find but the background is not highlighted (but it comes back on the following find)  

Similarly if you find next when the find dialog box is open you get a yellow background. But if you dismiss the dialog box and find next, no yellow background. I guess I have a lot of problems locating the cursor in ST2 so I normally use 'line highlight' to help. The removal of the line highlight during find plus jumping the cursor and then not sufficiently highlighting the new cursor location makes it hard.

An undo last replace option would be nice (without dismissing the find/replace dialog box or switching focus back to the file).

If I have text like this in a file

    (foo.helloworld)

    (foo.helloworld)

and I find '.helloworld' with whole word matching on, then ST2 finds the text. However if I try to replace with '.monkey' when I click replace nothing happens. If I only have one (foo.helloworld) in the file it works fine.

Lastly some changes that I think have already been suggested in the forum: 1) Find and Replace across open files and/or projects. 2) the option to have find in files results to look like the output from ack, with keyboard shortcuts to find prev / next.
