I'm currently using TextMate v1.1b8. Here are my suggestions: o In the project list, i would like folders to appear above files o The project list should react in the same way as the finder. i.e. when i click, then wait a second, then click again, i should be able to rename a file. o double clicking a file in the project list should open it in a tab, not single click. o TextMate should remember the horizontal scroll position when navigating between tabs (VERY ANNOYING) o The line numbers/gutter should always be visible and not scroll when horizontally scrolling. o Soft wrap should not default to on after setting it no off. And here's some things that I love: o The progress that's been made in such a short amount of time o The steady flow of betas o The community surrounding TextMate o The work that's being done to the syntax highlighting Thanks Allan & others.

RegisterProcess failed (error = -50)

by hadley wickham

When I try to use the TM command line tool, I get the following error: RegisterProcess failed (error = -50) Abort trap I've tried deleting the launch services cache (as detailed in the release notes) but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Using the growlnotify command line tool gives me the same error, so I wonder if there's something wrong at my end. Any help would be much appreicated, Hadley

TextMate and editing administrative files

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, I'm a bit of a security freak and would like to know when I'm editing files and exercising my administrative rights when saving them. TextMate uses the normal channels to gain permission to do that, but the thing is that it caches this authorization because that's the way OS X authorization is configured. Now I don't want to change that, but I do want to change TM's behavior and this is possible. Add the following bit into the file /etc/authorization: <key>com.macromates.textmate.openfile.readwritecreate.</key> <dict> <key>class</key> <string>user</string> <key>comment</key> <string>require the user to allow TextMate to save a file as admin</string> <key>group</key> <string>admin</string> <key>shared</key> <false/> <key>timeout</key> <integer>0</integer> </dict> It must be inside the: </string> <key>rights</key> <dict> dictionary. I placed it below the default rule's ending </dict> tag. It means that from the moment you saved that file, all authorized saves ask you for your password, without any caching.

best practice for changing markdown back as default for .txt?

by Tom Lazar

hi there, I'd like some advice on how to best change the default language for .txt to markdown (90% of my plaintext is in markdown and i find that in the other 10% the markdown language doesn't break anything really, either - try it out on TextMate's README, for example...) at the same time i like to stay current with the svn repository, so simply making a copy of the markdown bundle in ~/Application Support/ TextMate/ wouldn't be viable either. any suggestions? best regards, tom btw. b8 looks really good! methinks it should be announced on versiontracker and such places! -- Tom Lazar http://tomster.org

which tidy binary to install?

by Tom Lazar

the HTML bundle contains a tidy command that attempts to run ~/bin/ tidy (which doesn't exist) could this be added to the `Scripts` or `Tools` directory? or if not, which binary is recommended? best regards, tom -- Tom Lazar http://tomster.org

Re: [TxMt] TM_BUNDLE_PATH not what you would expect?

by subscriber＠ampede.com

Allan Odgaard wrote .. > I know this isn't optimal, but I have no idea on how I can handle this > problem gracefully. How about implementing: TM_BUNDLE_USER_PATH TM_BUNDLE_SYSTEM_PATH TM_BUNDLE_NETWORK_PATH to point to their obvious locations. Then, at least scripts can access each of the bundles easily and by using TextMate's search order, can allow users to override items the normal way. Obviously, TextMate should only set a variable if the relevant bundle is actually at the location. Best, Erich

TM_BUNDLE_PATH not what you would expect?

by Charilaos Skiadas

I ran into the following problem. I am running the "LaTeX and TeXniscope" command, and one of its lines is: "$TM_BUNDLE_PATH"/latexErrWarn.py When I run the command, I get the following error: /bin/bash: line 6: /Users/haris/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/latexErrWarn.py: No such file or directory In other words, TM_BUNDLE_PATH seems to be set to point to the bundles in my home directory, and of course does not see the Latex bundle all the way in the root directory. On the other hand, I ran the "Show Variables" command from the Defaults bundle, and it shows that TM_BUNDLE_PATH is equal to: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Defaults.tmbundle. So in that case, it points to the bundles in the root directory. So, why this difference? Is there a nice way to fix it? Thanks, Haris

Suggestions.

by Julian Tyler

I don't know if this is the right place to say, but i have two suggestions. 1. Have the command output window docked to the project/document window, an option of course? 2. Have Output option in the Command Editor, that lets me jump to a specific file/line/col of a file.

And > additionally open new files in the existing document window!?! Oh nice sorta like the vim tag feature. I would say open into a new tab thats auto selected as the active tab. would be the closest to the tag stack like vim. It is quite nice. It was done just like opening a file [relative fast] but was super fast :e filename or i think :tag file tag or :e file [line num] can work haven't tried that one in a while though so probably rusty or pulling it outta somewhere.

Column Typing

by John Kopanas

After a quick search I can't seem to figure out how to do column typing? How do I do it like in the video on macromates.com? Sorry for the stupid question! :-)
