[TextMate] Problem changing keyboard shortcuts with System Preferences

by Chris Brierley

As the help file suggests, I've tried changing some keyboard shortcuts with System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts. I'm trying to change the following items in the Text menu: Reformat Paragraph Reformat & Justify Unwrap Paragraph I can get Reformat & Justify to work but not Reformat Paragraph and Unwrap Paragraph. I suspect it's because both of those items change their name depending on wether text is selected. I.e., when text is selected they become Reformat Selection and Unwrap Selection. I've tried setting the same shortcut for both, e.g., Reformat Paragraph and Reformat Selection to try to cover both menu states, but it doesn't work and the System Preferences warns me of an error because of the duplicate shortcut key. Does anyone know how/if I can make that work? Or am I just out of luck because of the way the item changes names? Incidentally, I've worked around it by creating a local KeyBindings.dict, I'd just prefer to do it with the System Preferences so I don't have to always keep my KeyBindings.dict up-to-date between version changes. Thanks much for any ideas!

Tab Always Indent and indent-region

by Travis P

Two marvelously useful features that I use heavily for programming all kinds of language in Emacs and XEmacs are: - Tab Always Indent: when this option is on, hitting the TAB key always just indents the current line - indent-region: re-indent the selection I see you already have editing over sftp in your todo for 1.1. TextMate looks like a good start and might find a nice niche. It's a bit rough around the edges at the moment. And I find it hard to work without the two indent features I mention above. Maybe I should add them to the Feature requests page? -Travis

[TextMate] Cmd-Shift-Arrow for Tab switching

by Gavin Kistner

Is there a compelling reason to use cmd-opt-arrows for tab shifting? Safari uses Cmd-Shift-Arrow...if there's no reason to stay with the current setting, I request that TextMate match Safari. -- (-, /\ \/ / /\/

[TextMate] workarounds for lack of (s)ftp/external editing support?

by Raena Armitage

All I want for Christmas is world peace, an end to hunger, and for TextMate to either support (s)ftp or be supportive of the external editor thing. As in this: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html I'd become so reliant on Transmit's ability to open a text file in BBEdit, where I could just sit 'save' and have it upload automatically, that having to do it by hand again is really getting up my nose. For the moment, can anyone recommend a way to get around this lack of support? I still have BBEdit, of course, but I'd rather be using TextMate. I'm not so good with shell scripting so I wouldn't know the first place to start where that's concerned. Can anyone help? Regards, Raena

Order of open files window tabs question ??

by Mats Persson

This is another minor/major feature request for Allan : ) The order of the open files windows tabs - in top of project window - has confused me for a while, as the open files have not followed an immediately identifiable method/structure. Having created a simple test project with files named a1,a2, b1, b2 etc etc. I have finally worked it out. Newly opened files will always be added immediately behind the currently selected tab, and not in an alphabetical order nor in a order of opened status which I had kind of assumed it would do just like Safari tabs do. Therefore, could it be possible to implement this as an options preference: 1. follow alphabetical order 2. order of open status (last opened is last in order) IF this could be fixed I would be very grateful, as working with 10+ files open means I have to look through the tab bar for where my opened files has been located. What's the general view on this ? Apologies if this has been discussed earlier without me noticing it. Kind regards, Mats

quote matching

BTW: Consider this a feature request, > if it's not already an option, and a plea for guidance otherwise. This feature is too "subtle" for me. I have great difficulty finding the matched character. I like the way S-E-E does it: a double click on a paren/brace/bracket selects the contents of the pair. This is very clear and potentially very useful if you want to relocate the text. I *reallyyyy* like putting paired characters around selected text. That has become one of my favourite features. It makes writing nested conditionals very easy. No more counting pairs. Selecting text between pairs would be a nice counterpart. Hmmm, would also be useful for single and double quotes too.... Have fun, Carl

It would be sweet to have a way to rename the currently opened file in the File menu: "Rename". -- Joost Schuttelaar

Java syntax coloring not currently available

by Travis P

I'm trying out 1.0.1. Hard to believe with that list of languages that Java isn't present. I found the link to Brian Lalor's bundle for it on the wiki, but the link is currently dead. -Travis
