I believe I've found a bug with the column typing environment in TM.
Take a set of lines, e.g.
Example one.
Example two.
Example three.
Now, say you want to change that to
Text example one.
Text example two.
Text example three.
So you select the first two lines and hit option to go into column
typing for prepending to all of the lines, and you type "Text ", this
gives you:
Text Example one.
Text Example two.
Text Example three.
Now you want to change the capitalization on "Example", so you hit
forward delete[1], and type in an "e". But instead of getting what you
want, you get:
Text example one.
Text eExample two.
Text eExample three.
That is, forward delete (unlike backspace) only affects the line with
the cursor in it, and not all of the lines in the column. I assume
this is a bug, and not some logical behavior that I just don't
understand, right?
[1] Note, I'm working on an old PowerBook, so I'm using fn-delete for
forward delete.

So, I'm finally getting to the point that I'm really starting to play
around a bit with the automation aspects of TextMate. I think that I
found a bug, but I want to confirm.
I created a macro, which through the course of its steps utilizes a
snippet. The snippet has default values, which I'm also using, because
it's a very repetitive task. The idea behind this, is that when I got
to a different spot in the code that I'm working on, I would change the
snippet defaults and keep using the macro.
What appears to be happening instead, is the old default values are
used instead of the new ones. When I use the snippet manually, the new
values I put in are still used. Is this a bug, or is my expectation
wrong?

I'm new to TextMate, so please point me to the fine manual if I'm
missing something obvious. I've poked around the mailing list and
documentation but couldn't find anything related. I'm using 1.1b5
currently, but would switch back to 1.0.x if that helps.
As part of switching over to TextMate I'm trying to set up a TextMate
command to do some text processing. I have a project defined that has
multiple text files and a TextMate command that may modify some or all
of the text files in that project when it executes. The command first
saves all of the files in the project. It then runs a Python script
with no input and discarding any output.
TextMate, unfortunately, doesn't seem to check to see if the current
file was changed after the command executes. If I switch to another
file in the project and then back to the original file it will notice
that the underlying file has been changed. But if I forget to switch
back and forth it will end up causing a conflict between the file in
memory and the file on disk.
In short, is there anyway to force TextMate to check the "freshness" of
a current file after executing a command?
I made a modification to the 'Strip trailing spaces' command. My
option allows it to work on the whole document. The only annoyance
that I have is when it is done, all of the text in the document is
selected. Is there a way to turn this selection off so that I could
just use my hotkey for the command and then keep typing? It's not a
huge issue, but it is a minor annoyance.

Working with a new special bundle for context I have run into the
following error when using any of the special item lists in the default
bundle.
ERROR: no handler for extension/mode 'ConTeXt' Entitynav: Outputs a
parsable list of functional entities for the given code file Usage:
entitynav -f [ -m $TM_MODE ] entitynav -f - -m $TM_MODE entitynav -f
- -e entitynav -f - -E -f, --file |- : parse or stdin if `-' -m,
--mode : set mode to -e, --ext : set mode to -E, --ext-from-file :
set mode to extension of -s, --sort : sort output by
function/method/class name -S, --sort-silently : sort only if the mode
supports it, otherwise output unsorted -h, --help
Any thoughts on how to get EntityNav to recognize the context mode. It
is essentially the same as the Latex mode.
Thanks

Greetings all,
thanks to those who posted the pdfsync details for TeXniscope and
TextMate: it's now working really well for me. If anyone's having
difficulties getting the TM->PDF direction working it might be worth
noting that teh command posted above by Thomas should be only 3 lines
long. That is, there is a comment, then a single line (containing the
"&&"), and the rest is a single command on a single line. Just be
careful to delete any line breaks when you paste the script into the
command window.
For what it's worth, the synchronisation behaviour here isn't the same
as Flashmode (a la Claus Gerhardt's work): the latter provides "real
time processing" of the input file, so that you see what you're
producing as you type. That is, the file is being processed behind the
scenes, and changes to the pdf file are produced on the fly.
Cheers,
Paul
Hi,
I know that you can use TextMate to cite from a BibTeX file but as of
now this only works for one BibTeX file. I have several BibTeX files
which I maintain seperately and since this works much better for me I
thought I'd give BibDesk a try with which you can have several BibTeX
files open at the same time and cite from them with BibDesk's system
wide citing service. I get this to work in TextEdit and TeXShop but not
TextMate :-(
To use the service you type \cite{H}, leave the cursor at H and type
Alt-Escape; this will give you a list of all references that contain H,
but in TextMate this only cylcles through several words containing H.
In TextMate the Escape key is set to "Next Completion", so I guess that
this either clashes with BibDesk's hot key or TextMate doesn't support
BibDesk at all.
If anybody has any hint how to overcome this either with TextMate
supporting several BibTeX files or how to get BibDesk to work with
TextMate I'd be very grateful!
Best wishes, Thomas
Ciao, Thomas

Hello
I'm a total beginner with Textmate and i 've a little problem when i
use it with latex command.
I've no problem to get a pdf with preview, texniscope or Acrobat but if
i made a modification in the source, i need to close the old pdf to get
a new one. Is it possible to refresh the view ?
Thanks Alain Matthes
Dear Sir/Madam
Permit me to solicit your assistance on this
transaction with you.My name is Chief Obina, I am a

As one of the auditors of the bank, I found out that
there is an unclaimed fund of $19.4M. in one of our
customer's account for more than ten years and our
banking law stipulates that any unclaimed fund for
more than 12years will go to the bank revenue as an
unclaimed fund.
My colleagues and i have made our own personal
inquiries about the depositor and the next of kin but
sadly,the depositor and his entire family died in a
plane crash.
We solicit that you stand as the next of kin so that
the money will be transfered to your account or any
other account you may provide for us.
We propose that the money be shared as follows 30% for
you,
65% for my colleagues and I while 5% will be for any
expences we may incure.
I awaits your urgent reply while believing you do
understand the confidential nature of this
transaction.
Thanks,

I need to say this, so sorry if this seems out of place on the list...
The reason that I love TM so much is exemplified by the response to Mr.
Schröder's question about BibDesk. Allan, who I am sure has much better
things to do with his time than worry about single requests for help and
the like, instead of assuming someone else would tackle the question (it
was posted to the list, so it would have been a perfectly valid
assumption,) not only answered the question, but implemented the command
and updated the Latex bundle. And anywhere that Allan doesn't have time
to do that, someone else ( Sune and Eric immediately jumps to mind, but
there are _tons_ of others, so if you feel short shrifted, feel free to
burn my effigy ;) immediately brilliantly answers the question, usually
at what seems like great effort (at least great effort to expend helping
other people solve their problems instead of your own.)
Ok, so this mail is mostly me wanting to say thank you to those people
that put so much effort into not only making TM the best editor that
ever existed or will ever exist, but also in making sure that the
community around the editor is and stays as great as it is. I've been
lurking on the list since last November and there is no other list I
have ever been subscribed to ( except maybe ruby-lang ) where the
atmosphere was so radically *nice*.
Thank you Allan, and everyone on the list, for being genuinely interested
and actively involved in the community of people who use TM every day.
Jon Raphaelson
PS. Allan, when are getting b6? (lol ;)
