I'd like to play around a bit with an alternative light-on-dark color scheme for my bundles, but, in the same way that I can't draw a straight line with a ruler (but can appreciate architecture) I am completely inept at picking text colors that have high contrast and look good (but I know them when I see them). I know someone (or someones) whipped up a C bundle with a light-on-dark scheme, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought I might start by looking at that, but what might be better is if someone could point me to a resource that had examples of high-contrast color schemes for text highlighting. :-) Anyone?

LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

Here is a little command I've written (as usual, a wrapper around a Perl script), which naively tries to indent your LaTeX file intelligently. If it succeeds, there are two good side effects. First, your file looks nicer. Second, your file foldings work correctly, as TM is cued by the indentation. Good luck. Check the file, if you use it. It works for me, your mileage may vary. I've appended the one-liner version. Since it is a blob of line noise, I also have a link to the latest version of the uncompressed Perl, which is at <http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Latex.tmbundle/LaTeXTidy.…> You can put that somewhere and write a command to call it instead. I suspect anyone with issues with the folding could customize this script for their language if necessary. I know PerlTidy and HTMLTidy exist. I couldn't find a TeXTidy, so I wrote this last year... - Eric -- Before: Nothing STDIN: Entire STDOUT: Replace doc Command: perl -e 'my$in;while(<STDIN>){$in.=$_;}my@keywords=qw( appendix author bibliography bigskip chapter date def document evensidemargin font headheight headsep include index make new noindent oddsidemargin page paragraph part ragged renew section subsection subsubsection subsubsubsection table textheight textwidth title topmargin use vfil);$in=~s/\%(.*?)\n/\n\n\%$1\n\n/g;my@pieces=split(/\n\s*\n/,$in);my$string,$keyword;foreach(@pieces){if(/^\s*\%/){$string.=$_."\n";next;}s/\s+/ /g;foreach$keyword(@keywords){s/(\\$keyword)/\n$1/g;}s/([^\\]\%)/\n$1/g;s/(\\begin\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\end\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\item)(.*?)(\\item)/$1$2\n$3/g;s/(\\item)/\n$1/g;s/[^\\](\\\[)/\n$1/g;s/(\\\])/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\)\s/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\\[)(.*?)(\])\s/$1$2$3\n/g;s/\n\s*\n/\n/g;s/^\n//;chomp;$string.=$_."\n\n";}$string=~s/\n\s+\n/\n\n/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(end)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(begin)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\\end)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;$string=~s/(\\begin)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;@pieces=split(/\[\n\n\n\]/,$string);my$indent=1;my@lines;my$piece,$i;$string="";foreach$piece((a)pieces){$piece=~s/\{\n\n\n\}//g;$piece=~/^\\(.*?)\{/;if(lc($1)eq"begin"){$indent++;}else{$indent--;}@lines=split(/\n/,$piece);foreach(@lines){s/^\s+//;if(/^\\begin/i){for($i=1;$i<=$indent-1;$i++){$string.="\t";}}else{for($i=1;$i<=$indent;$i++){$string.="\t";}}$string.=$_."\n";}}print$string;'

Could we change the menu under which macros/snippets/commands are shown?

by Chris Brierley

I love the new mode-based menu interface for macros/snippets/commands. What I'd really love is if I could control which mode menu they show up in. For example, I've made a couple of commands that are related to HTML. However, since I've made them myself, they show up under the "Custom" menu, when I'd really like them to be under "HTML". Maybe, like with the syntax files, a "mode" key could be added to the macros/snippets/commands plist files where I could specify which mode they should be a part of? What do you think? Thanks much.

Turn off auto-indent?

by Brian Smith

Wow--I use TextPad daily on my PC at work and always wished there was a text editor like it for the Mac where I could easily switch between documents with tabs. And the ability to call a shell script to do a word count or any other UNIX command and have the output appear as a tooltip, new window, or whatever you want--brilliant, and really easy to use. This is probably the first time I've wished TextPad could do some things a Mac editor can do, and not vice versa. There's only one seemingly minor thing that's keeping me from buying TextMate right now and retiring Tex-Edit Plus--TextMate's auto-identing feature, where if I have a paragraph of text (not code), it automatically inserts a tab on the next line when I hit return. This drives me nuts because while I use my Mac editor for HTML at times, I mainly use it to write documents that have normal indented paragraphs of text. At the end of a paragraph in a word processor or email program I'm conditioned to hit return, then hit tab for the next paragraph--so having TextMate indent the next paragraph automatically just means I end up with two tabs. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off auto-indenting of new lines, or is that a feature being considered for a future release? If there is a way to turn that off and I just can't find it, I apologize for being an idiot in advance...anyway, thanks to the developer for creating this, keep up the good work, -Brian

how do you close excess tabbed files?

by Lang Riley

Is it possible to close files that are open in tabs that are not visible, i.e., located in the tab overflow without disturbing tabbed files that are visible?

Key Bindings suggestion

by David Wooten

Greetings, I'm just wondering if there is a graphic interface for key bindings in the pipeline -- it seems to me that it would be in line with the emphasis on customizability in TM to not have to tinker with a .dict file. :) Ciao, David

new tab in project

by eoghan

hi just a newly registered textmate user. and its great. i was wondering if it will be possible (or if im missing it) to create a new tab (as in a new file) within a project instead of having to open a new window - saving it and then going back to my project where i can then see the file and open it in a tab and edit it. thanks eoghan

Re: [TxMt] iCalendar Syntax

by Eric Hsu

>I'm not wedded to the colors, either, BTW. A healthy attitude! But oh man, I don't want to go there. I always like black on white text, and I know others love the dark green on sage thing or black on white, and it gets very religious. Sort of like tabs. :) So I'm just adjusting syntaxes by hand and waiting until Allan adds the magic CSS syntax coloring thing. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: [TxMt] properties parser?

by Eric Hsu

>I would like to automate some customization for some bundles (as >colors), is the format in those .plist files standard (for instance >Perl.plist)? If it is and you wanted to search for a parser for some >programming language which keyword would you use? If you are asking whether the 'names' of each color class (e.g. Comments) in the .plist is standard across the bundles, I'd say it would be a miracle if they were, since they were all hacked by individuals who wanted their favorite language colored. On the other hand, it might be possible for people to agree to use keywords in their names so the XML could be parsed and the color settings could be custom set by a big regexp search and replace. For the record, BBEdit 8 recognizes the following colors for customization: General: Foreground, Background Guide Contrast [the color of non-page window] Custom Highlight Color: Primary, Secondary Highlight Insertion Point Line Color Source Code: Keywords, String Constants, Comments HTML Tags: General, Processing Instructions, Anchor, Image, Names, Values TM bundles generally have more colors than that. But if Bundle writers could agree on a reasonable base set and rename their names, that could go a long way towards making the colors customizable before Allan gets his next solution done. Allan may have to set standards like this anyway, unless he writes a small GUI Syntax File browser that displays the Names with a little Color Picker patch. That would be fabulous, of course. - Eric

Re: [TxMt] fugu prob

by Developer Relations

This is a known problem with Launch Services. Basically, any new application (or new version of) needs to become "trusted" by the OS before other applications can "see" it. To make an application "trusted" you must double click one of its documents, then you'll be presented with an alert from the OS that you "are opening this for the first time" blah blah. From that point, the application is "trusted". As a little advertisement, Yummy FTP works around this problem :-) Hope that helps.
