Does anyone know if it would be possible to use the various extensions
within TextMate to provide a navigable list of functions within a class
file? A bit like the one BBEdit or SubEthaEdit has.

hi,
Just starting using RubyonRails....and each time i create a project i
want to modify .htaccess to enable mod_ruby....and it's not possible.
would be cool if the contextual menu of the drawer propose a 'toggle
invisible file view' item or something like that
thanks...
textmate is really the best 40$ i ever spent
Hey Allan & David,
First, thanks for filling a major void in OSX land. I've been using
UltraEdit on Windows for several years until I bought a Powerbook in August.
I love everything about OSX except the lack of a solid (and reasonably
priced) text editor. Thanks to ditto, I think I found one.
So far I'm pleased with TextMate, though I haven't been able to use it much.
The single biggest problem I've found so far is that it seems to load files
entirely into memory. Try loading a 100MB enterprise server log in TextMate
and you'll see it die while consuming megabyte after megabyte of memory.
UltraEdit by contrast only loads what it needs into memory, making it very
very fast while viewing and manipulating large files. UltraEdit handles
GB-size files without breaking a sweat. I think the only complication
around that is line numbering becomes slightly more involved.
The second feature I'm looking for is a hex view/edit/search&replace. Being
able to locate and fix an invalid UTF-8 character sequence inside an XML
file that is causing my application to bomb has proven to be a critical
feature. Hex search&replace comes in handy when I need to remove all 0x00
characters from a file, for example.
Finally -- and this should be the easy one -- please add a "count" button to
the search window. Often I want to count the occurrences of a certain error
message in a log, or see how many things I'm about to change by
search&replace.
That's it (for now ;) Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Kevin Hunt
Couple of questions regarding syntaxes:
I'm working on modifying the HTML syntax to support JSP. I've created
the following definition for comments; JSP and HTML comments are
similar. JSP comments look like <%-- comment --%>. I can use a simple
regexp to search for <!-- or <%--, but is there a way to be smarter
about how the comment ends? I'd like to make sure an illegal JSP
comment gets highlighted as such:
WRONG:
<%-- -->
... or maybe ...
<%-- --> --%>
I've currently got the (not quite smart enough) pattern:
{
name = "Comments";
begin = "<[%!]--";
end = "--%?>";
foregroundColor = "red";
},
How is the "include" keyword supposed to work in a pattern? I've tried
this:
name = "Embedded Java";
backgroundColor = "#E5E5E5";
begin = "<%";
include = "Java";
end = "%>";
... but that only highlights the background of the excursion, not the
text within. I've created a Java bundle with "Java" defined in
Syntaxes/Java.plist.

I do not know if this has been mentioned before, but the undo/redo
functionality needs improvements. What bothers me is that the undo
functionality will "undo" stuff character-by-character, and not by
block. I want block undos. Ideally, I would like to have more of a
VIM-like undo functionality.
You may wonder what would be defined as a "block undo"? One definition
would be: any time when I type in text (or remote text with the
backspace/delete) would be one block. When I move the mouse, or use the
arrow keys, or use PGUP,PGDOWN, etc. the undo block would end.

Interarchy supports ediiting files over sftp. It would make me überhappy is
TestMate would support this feature. I asked the Interarchy developer what
details you would need to know to make this work. He replied with the links
to the info below.
I know you intend to support editing files over sftp with TextMate in
version 1.1, but I like Interarchy and adding compatability to work with
Interarchy looks pretty simple. So pretty please with sugar on top, add
this feature. :-D Thanks,
Simon

The details are at:
http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html
and Bare Bones' original specification is at:
http://www.barebones.com/support/developer/odbsuite.html
If they drop me a line when it is implemented we'll be happy to add
TexMate to our list of possible editors.
Enjoy,
Peter.

Hi all,
I just downloaded the PHP & Smarty syntax bundle, and found that it too
was based on a dark background. Can someone please explain this
seeming 'obsession' with dark backgrounds when 99% of all other apps
are the basic white background with black/coloured text ???
What is it that I don't get about it ??? (I personally find it very
hard to read text that way.)
Kind regards,
Mats
I hate .textClipping files, they are some kind of bastard
implementation of a file. They really aren't terribly useable but they
are easy to create and so show up far too often. I've never looked into
the format but I don't understand why Apple didn't just make them txt
or rtf files. Instead they created a specially functioning file that is
not well supported.
.textClipping files are supported as expected if you drag from the
Finder to an open document in TextMate, i.e. the contents are inserted
at the insertion point.
Dropping a .textClipping file on TextMate's app icon opens a new empty
window with the textClipping's name. Desired behavior would be to
display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the
textClipping editable!
Selecting a textClipping in the project drawer displays an empty window
with the title set to the textClipping file's title. Desired behavior
would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for
making the textClipping editable.
Dragging a textClipping file from a project window to the currently
displayed document results in no change to the current document.
Desired behavior is to insert the contents of the textClipping file at
the insertion point, i.e. the same behavior as dragging from the
Finder.
thanks for listening!
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone's been working on js syntax highlighting.
I derived one from the ruby file, but it's still a tad bit buggy.
Perhaps we could join efforts?
I'll post the bundle as soon as I get back to the mac.
