comparable windows editor?

by Justin French

I've got a part-timer about to start work with me on a Windows machine on some Rails stuff, and I need to recommend a free or cheap text editor for him to get started on (until I buy a macmini for him). In particular, I think he needs the project drawer, because there's a heap of files to work with in Rails, and something that has a PHP & Ruby syntax highlighter included. Sorry for being a little OT, but surely some of you must be recovering Windows types and can recommend something??? I haven't touched a PC in years :) --- Justin French, Indent.com.au justin.french(a)indent.com.au Web Application Development & Graphic Design

key command to switch between edit and project-file-list pane

by kumar mcmillan

Hi. I just read the latest news on the TextMate site about a "quick launch" thingie for selecting a project file [ http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/01/28/elevating-the-standard/ ] I haven't tested this out in the beta but I think this is a great idea. However, I have a much simpler request that is related to navigating around TextMate mouse-free. How about a key command to switch focus from the editor pane to the project-file-list pane. This is about the only thing left that I have to touch the mouse for when editing! Currently I manually click on a file in the project-file-list pane, use the arrows to find another one, then press enter to open it for editing (unless I'm in the mood for mousing). now... if there was a way to jump back to the file-list pane via key-command while editing that would be great. Of course, the quick launch will be helpful but the above request seems like an easy feature to add, no? Net News Wire Lite, which has the same drawer-content window layout, allows for movement between these panes via left/right arrows ... making RSS reading completely mouse free. Emacs users will love you for it Allan :) thx, K

Problem with perl snippet (bundle or Textmate?)

by Gregg Thomason

I want a perl snippet that does this: open($1, "$2") or die "Can't open file: $!\n"; while(<$3>) { $4 } I enter this into the snippet editor. What happens is: 1. The "entry point" is always $2. (in other words, type 'openTAB', get the snippet, but the insertion point is at $2) 2. hitting TAB after entering some text moves the insertion to $1, but any attempts to hit tab to move to the while ($3) fail; it just inserts a literal TAB. 3. escaping the $! with something like \$! has no effect; it always inserts '!n'. I even tried \\n and variations thereof with $! to no effect. I'm not sure if this is a side effect of the Perl syntax rules/bundle (using the stock one, I long since abandoned mine in favor of the other, superior one :) or another weirdness. As a side note, I want $1 and $3 to be the same thing; is it enough to just call 'em both $1?

Bookmarks

by Tim Martens

Do Bookmarks not persist between sessions? I just spent an hour setting up bookmarks in a markdown syntax template, thinking I'd be able to open the document in the future and F2 (Next Bookmark) through the doc to make changes. It seems bookmarks are not permanent. Why not? Is there plans to make them so? -t

Tip: Append LF's to lines in selection

by Allan Odgaard

Just a little tip, the Append to Lines in Selection can also have new-lines appended, so e.g. we can select: case NSHomeFunctionKey case NSEndFunctionKey case NSPageUpFunctionKey case NSPageDownFunctionKey Append to lines in selection and type: “:<LF>break;” to get: case NSHomeFunctionKey: break; case NSEndFunctionKey: break; case NSPageUpFunctionKey: break; case NSPageDownFunctionKey: break; Or select: if([nonBase characterIsMember:ch]) else if([upcase characterIsMember:ch]) else if([alnum characterIsMember:ch]) And type: “<LF>{<LF>” to get: if([nonBase characterIsMember:ch]) { } else if([upcase characterIsMember:ch]) { } else if([alnum characterIsMember:ch]) { }

Paging a Bundle expert... (modifying SQL syntax colors debug)

by Paul Nordstrom August

hi everyone the bad news is that the latest beta (or how I installed it) ended up deleting all my previous Custom snippets, macros etc. The good news I guess is that I'm re-doing them (not so many anyway) in a much better way :) Separately I wanted to adapt the default SQL to colorize some of the COLLATE and CHARSET data, partly just as a tutorial. My CocoaMySQL creates table definitions including the following (unfortunately with the "`" included), e.g.: > `user` varchar(20) collate utf8_bin default NULL, > [...] > ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin I wanted to offset the collate and CHARSET content so I cut-and-paste within the SQL bundle to create the following: > <dict> > <key>foregroundColor</key> > <string>#ff3300</string> > <key>match</key> > > <string>^\s*\w+\s+(collate|utf8_bin|DEFAULT|CHARSET|utf8|COLLATE)\s*</ > string> > <key>name</key> > <string>Charset Types</string> > </dict> Alas nothing happens ;) Could anyone give me a hand? This is hardly urgent, but I am just curious what I am doing wrong... FYI I based it on the following; I'm hardly a regex expert or anything but I thought I knew what was going on... Thanks!

How to specify a Scope for a snippet

by Christian Schwanke

Hi, I've defined a sinppet that automatically expands the " character to "`"' used for quotation in latex. However, I want this behaviour only to work, when editing a *.tex-file. In the bundle-editor, there is a field named Scope and I suppose that's the one I need - However, I don't know what exactly to specify there. Any hints are gladly appriciated, Regards, Christian

Adding System Folders to Project Without Drag And Drop

by Patrick Burleson

I'm hoping I've just overlooked something to be able to do this: Instead of having to drag a folder from the Finder on the project drawer to add a live updating folder, it would be nice to be able to add them with a folder chooser much like "Add Existing Files..." . Also, I can't seem to reorder folders inside a group. Whereas I can reorder groups. Is this a current limitation? Thanks, Patrick P.S. Love the file chooser in the latest beta. It's like being in IDEA, except for my rails development. :-)
