I did not find those properties as exposedBindings for OakTextView. My test code follows: bindings = [responder exposedBindings]; int i; for ( i=0; i < [bindings count]; i++ ) { NSLog( @"binding: %@", [bindings objectAtIndex:i] ); } This produced the following output. 2007-05-08 09:43:51.800 TextMate[915] binding: hidden 2007-05-08 09:43:51.800 TextMate[915] binding: toolTip Also attempting to bind to lineNumber or columnNumber [self bind:@"lineNumber" toObject:responder withKeyPath:@"lineNumber" options:nil]; causes the following error [<OakTextView 0x630c50> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key lineNumber However lineNumber and columnNumber appear to be available in OakStatusBar. But I do not know how to grab that object. Any ideas? thanks again, kirt <div>On 5/8/07, Allan Odgaard <<a href="mailto:throw-away-1@macromates.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> throw-away-1@macromates.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On 8.

The class does not expose this via any attributes. It does however have lineNumber and columnNumber as bindable properties. So in practice you can use that to get the line/column position. _______________________________________________ textmate-plugins mailing list <a href="mailto:textmate-plugins@lists.macromates.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> textmate-plugins@lists.macromates.com</a> <a href="http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate-plugins" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate-plugins</a> </blockquote></div>
