After upgrading to Leopard, I noticed that the ‘Edit in TextMate’ command stopped working. This is a neat little hack that allows you to edit the contents of just about any Cocoa text control within TextMate. At first I was like, meh, no big deal. But after living without it for a few weeks, I realized just how useful it is.
A bit of googling revealed the cause: the rules governing Input Managers have changed in Leopard. Fortunately, TextMate creator Allan Odgaard has a detailed post on how to fix this.

Also affected by the change to Input Managers were some of my SIMBL hacks, specifically, the hack that I used to customize the default colours of Terminal.app: Mike Solomon’s TerminalColors. Being designed for Tiger’s Terminal.app, this wasn’t working for the new Leopard version.
Ciaran Walsh has re-hacked the hack, and I’m happy to report that I can finally read blue on a black background again. Thanks Ciaran!

BTW, the new Terminal.app is completely awesome. Finally, a fast, tabbed terminal for OS X.
