I am a ruby on rails developer which has been happy with TextMate, but because it is now somehow obsolete, I am looking for new editor. I have been looking forward to TextMate 2 which is now some alpha (which is absolutely not usable at the moment), so I have been looking around for some replacement. I have found Sublime Text 2 and Chocolat. So far Chocolat suits better for my needs, but there is one (i believe very EASY to implement, but also IMPORTANT) feature which I miss in Chocolat.

It is the ability to show a keyboard shortcut next to every command in the bundle menu, if the command has a keystroke. TextMate, TextMate 2 ALPHA and the Sublime Text 2 all have this ability, and it is really important to many (no only) ruby on rails developer to have it.

So I want to ask you if there is a chance that the Chocolat will have this ability? And if so, when? I believe that it is not to hard to implement it, isn't it? If I understand it correctly you should already have a information about the shortcuts for every command some of them are even working already (eg. "ff tab" for "form_for"), but if you do not know them, there is currently no way to find them in the app, isn't it?

In the end I would like to thank you a lot for the chocolat, your effort and so on. And I will be really happy to buy it when it fulfills all my needs. And it is very near to this step;). If you compare chocolat with the sublime at this moment, Chococat has definitely better icon. And for the ALPHA version Chocolat is currently definitely ahead of TextMate 2 ALPHA. Good work guys!
