ST looks really promising and I am excited to see where it will go.

I still use Code Browser (http://code-browser.sf.net) which is oriented around folding. One feature from it that I really miss in other editors is the "Clone Window" function that creates a new tab of the same file, scroll and cursor position. IMO, this beats using bookmarks because you simply close the new tab to go back to where you were.

Code Browser has a really interesting approach to organising your code. Does anyone know of any text editors/IDEs that implement code folding in a similar fashion for Mac OS X?
The source did actually compile on OS X once but he hasn't been keeping it up to date and now I get a segfault. I am considering throwing some hours at it because I really want it on my mac..
If you do decide to try and get it compiling then I would really appreciate it if you could let me know how you get on!

My email is in my profile.

btw, you can use "File/Clone File" menu item to get a new view into the current file.
If you're on Windows, I recommend you try Notepad++ which has this feature along with a host of others. I find it to be pretty similar to ST as far as features go.
