I just noticed that the coloration for "def" is a bit overeager, see attached snapshot. Look for "def_port". -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto(a)keltia.freenix.fr Darwin snuadh.freenix.org Kernel Version 7.5.0: Wed May 12 16:58:24 PDT 2004

[TextMate] Smart folder in project?

by Chris Jenkins

Im guessing from the other discussions floating around that there is some way to make "smart" folders in the project drawer, most likely using regex matches on filenames, but I am unclear exactly how to do this, perhaps someone could enlighten me? ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

[TextMate] Project Drawer Keys

by Allan Odgaard

I don't think this made it to any of the documentation: When the project drawer has key focus, you can press 'space' to activate rename, and return to open the selected file (this should probably be supplemented by cmd-down as in Finder). To activate rename with the mouse, hold down option while clicking the item (or use the context menu). The reason why groups cannot be double clicked to activate rename (as some have requested) is that I plan to do it more like Finder in the future, so that double clicking a group will enter that group, and make the project drawer only show the files contained in the group (there'll be a back button of course). Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Project containing files on a remote disk - bug?

by Andre Posumentov

Hi, Probably unfair to call the following a bug - as it's behaviour that seems correct in the context of a purely local filesystem. However, it can catch you out if your Project contains references to remote files. It went like this: 1/. Create a deeply nested Project file, consisting solely of pointers to files on a remote disk (mounted via SMB). 2/. Do work, close Project file. 3/. Eject the SMB drive. Go to lunch, or whatever. 4/. Return from whatever and reopen the Project file - forgetting to remount the remote disk first ... 5/. Gaze in silent horror at the empty Project. On start-up, TM silently deletes all unresolveable file references from the Project, leaving only the Groups that you have created. Any laboriously constructed filter definitions are deleted too, of course. TM immediately writes the revised Project file back to disk, making sure that you can't recover from your mistake. Might it be an idea to have TM pop up a warning - if it detects that a remote volume has disappeared? On a machine left idle for any length of time, 'sleep' can cause remote volumes to eject themselves - so I guess TM would need to check this periodically, and not just at start-up. Cheers, -- Andre

[TextMate] Coloured labels in Project Drawer

by Drew McLellan

I put a feature request for this on the wiki, but I thought it was probably worth shouting out here too. It would be really great if labels applied in the Finder (you know, the colour-coded blob things) were shown in the Project Drawer. I use labels to mark the most important files and folders in my web apps, and being able to make use of this in TM would be *fantastic*. Cheers. drew.

[TextMate] Wrap column problem(s)

by Luc Heinrich

Yo, I was playing with TM, trying to find some nits to pick and found the "View -> Wrap Column -> Other" thingy :) The default wrap width is at 78, and I usually use 80, so I went to change this and selected the previously mentioned menu item. I was expecting some sort of dialog or sheet, but saw nothing. Worse, the 'View' menu was still highlighted so I immediately thought that something wrong was happening and/or that TM was stuck or about to crash. When something like this happens in an application, I have this pavlovian habit to agitate the mouse a bit to see if the spinning pizza of death shows up, before I just kill the app. But this time it helped to see that, oooooh, something was actually hapenning IN the current text window: setting the wrap width is done using an "in-place interactive bar"... I see three usability problems with this: - The obvious one, which I mentioned in my (unnecessary verbose) introduction is that unless you already know how it works, you have no freakin' clue what happens after you select the "Other" menu item. - You can't modify the wrap width when no window is open. - And now try that in a window using one of those syntax which have the infamous black background, and see how far the confusion can get... :> Sorry, I'm a natural born nitpicker ;) -- Luc Heinrich - lucsky(a)mac.com - http://www.honk-honk.com

[TextMate] monaco font readability

by kumar mcmillan

I am not sure if I should put this in as a feature request... There is a very very nice feature (or possibly quirk?) to the text library that SubEthaEdit and BBEdit are built on. When you adjust the font size for Monaco down to "9" then it loses its fuzziness and "snaps" into pixel-perfect, fixed-width readability. I don't know why this happens but TextMate doesn't do it. If I turn font smoothing off for size 9 and lower, TextMate makes Monaco pixelated and crisper, but it does not look fixed-width (i.e. it's slightly squished together for some letters and not very easy to read). I know this seems trivial, but staring at code all day is hard enough on the eyes as it is, yet the SubEtha/BBEdit font rendering is much more scannable. Any ideas of settings adjustments I can try? thanks, kumar

[TextMate] Syntax plists

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, While creating my syntax plist for python I ran into two things: - Is it possible to activate a syntax mode without restarting TextMate? - Is there a syntax highlighter for plists yet ? :) Jeroen.

[TextMate] Exclude .svn in the default folder pattern?

by Drew McLellan

As CVS is excluded by default, shouldn't we exclude .svn too? drew.
