I think the key is to get used to hitting Ctrl+space to do everything. Pretty much everything that Light Table is capable of is through that interface.

Sure, similar to Sublime's Cmd+T choice. The problem I have though, is that in Sublime I really can use that for near everything- even opening new files. You don't have that same option with Light.

  Why not? There's a `File: open file` command, and then there's the navigator to look through files that are in the workspace. You can also add files to the workspace from the command pane with `Workspace: add file` or `Workspace: add folder`.

    Right, but none of those options are particularly fast. In Sublime, if I want to open my Gemfile(at root), I just go Cmd+T: Gem And it's selected. If I want to open my admin_controller, located inside of /app/controllers/, I use Cmd+T: adm And it's selected. If I wanna do my Admin Controller test(spec) file, at /spec/controllers/admin_controller_spec.rb? Cmd+T: adm sp This is all a ton faster than what I'm seeing currenltly in Light Space, where I'm essentially forced to use my mouse, or OSX's poor keyboard controllers for open menu navigation.

      once you've added something to the workspace (just like in Sublime's "project") it's now available in the navigator. Press cmd-o type Gem

      If you'd prefer not to deal with workspaces, you can try the claire plugin [1], which is inspired by emacs ido-mode. It performs iterative fuzzy search over the entire FS. (Disclaimer: I'm the author of claire) [1] https://github.com/joshuafcole/claire https://github.com/joshuafcole/claire

I wish lt used the centred "pull-down" panel, like sublime, instead of a side panel. the side-panel feels somehow constricted and ruins the flow.

If I find I'm running the same command several times I map it to a shortcut key (very easy to do in LightTable). It doesn't take long before I hardly ever hit Ctrl+space.
