Hi Joachim Thanks for replying and for your work on the Objective-C bundle. I was unaware that work was ongoing in the WIP bundle and I will try that out as soon as possible. Please forgive me if I've mentioned anything that the new bundle addresses. Thanks again, Craig <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 4, 2008 7:59 PM, Joachim Mårtensson <<a href="mailto:joachimm@etek.chalmers.se">joachimm@etek.chalmers.se</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">> Hi all > > I've been using the Objective-C bundle for about a year now for all my > Cocoa > coding.

Nice to hear that we are not the only ones using TextMate for Objective-C. <div class="Ih2E3d">> > A few things off the top of my head: > > - No completion of new classes in leopard (eg.

With the exception of the addition of Notifications to the list of highlighted/scoped constants, not much has happend to this part of the grammar. If you try out the WIP C bundle, the scope "variable.other.dot-access.c" will match the new Objective-C 2.0 properties syntax, ofcourse it will also match standard C struct access. If you try out the WIP C bundle a good companion is the WIP Objective-C bundle, it will provide somewhat stronger code completion features. It is clearly time to update the list both for completions and scoping though. <div class="Ih2E3d">> > - "Completion: Partial Method Signature" is really handy for inserting > delegate method signatures.

I will fix it the next time my mac gets internet access.
