Apologies if this has been discussed before, I'm away from my mail archive
and I couldn't search.
One of the more useful features of vim (for me at least) is the ability to
pass a number as a parameter to a command, most of which used that as the
number of times to repeat the command (though there are more specialized
commands, like n%, which positions the cursor n% of the way down from the
top of the file). This is especally useful for operations like "delete
the next 10 tokens" (10dw), or jump down 25 lines (25j -or-
25<down-arrow>), and I really made use of it when prototyping OCaml code
with its toplevel loop, where errors in long functions are pointed out by
the number of characters from the start of the input string, not its line
and column numbers... So if I am told there's a problem with the code
between characters 2674 and 2679, I just have to position the cursor at
the top of the text I entered and enter 2674<right-arrow> and it will take
me to the start of the offending code.
Now, as far as I can tell, TextMate doesn't have anything like this built
in (a "repeat the next event n times" command), or am I just missing it
somewhere? If it's not in there, could you consider this as a feature
request for such a thing?
One more thing, might it be possible to alter the behavior of Go to
Line... to also accept a negative number, -n, and go to line n from
the bottom?
Would anyone else find these things useful, or am I the only odd one in
the bunch?

Hi,
I just noticed today an unexpected save behaviour. Sometimes after I
started editing a file, I realise that I should have named the file
something else. No problem, I drop into my terminal and rename the
file. Normally (even MS Word behaves like this), the program realises
the name change and updates it's menu with the new file name. TM just
saved the file again, with the old name and I got stuck with two files
with the same content. That is the first time I've seen that happen.

dear everyone,
I have added a couple of commands to the Invisibles.tmbundle. One
turns the 'smart' quotes that look awful in HTML, etc., into plain
quotes. The other deletes all 'non-ASCII' characters.
Now your favorite non-English language might have some characters
that Invisibles thinks are gremlins and which get colored red and
deleted in the Zap. You can change the pattern yourself to better
suit your needs, in the Invisibles.plist and the Zap Command. You may
want to refer to an ASCII chart (just google it).
You can get this last bundle from http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate/
but most of the fun stuff is happening at the TextMate SVN site.
http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk
Perhaps soon there will be a cron script that zips up the latest
Bundles automatically...
best, Eric

Sorry about that, it appears my email client decided to receive every
message I had ever received all over again, and generated an auto reply to
the digest message with nothing in it.

1.
I want "File-->Save" to be disabled when a file just has been opened or
saved. The fact that it is not grayed out makes me think TM didn't save
the file although I pressed CMD-S
2.
I don't want to save a file just to try out a different encoding. Many
times per day I open files where my special swedish letters åäö is
messed up because applications like SSE doesn't save the file properly
for TM to understand which encoding it uses so it gets wrong all the
time.
I'd really really like to see "reinterpret this file with encoding: "
and "convert this file to encoding: " not only reinterpret as TM uses
(which also reloads the file, so one has to make sure to save first)
3.
A Document saved by SSE as ISO-Latin1 and open by TM is recognized as
that encoding. But saving the file with TM now magically changes the
file to UTF-8.
Don't get me wrong, I love TM... bought my license and haven't regret
it at all! Just need a few changes to truly love working with it :)
Kind Regards
Ivar
Well I just got back from an extended vacation and I am starting to put
textmate back to use but for the life of me I can not find any command
to show invisible characters. I thought it had this feature...?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Eric
