I just downloaded the latest release here to check it out--was very hopeful!
I installed the plugin, started up textmate, and started typing as it should start out in insert mode, right?
However, as soon as I hit Escape, no more keys are accepted for any reason. I closed the window and opened another. Still no response. Quit TextMate, restarted, and I'm back in insert mode...that is until I hit Backspace. Same deal, no more keystrokes for anything.
