Feature request: Have Header/Source and Go To File honor directories

by Lars Pind

Hi Allan and friends, I have a source tree structure like this: www/ site/ index.tcl, .adp one.tcl, .adp edit.tcl, .adp item/ index.tcl, .adp one.tcl, .adp edit.tcl, .adp The fact that files are named the same, but in different directories: - Confuses both the Cmd-Opt-Up "Go to Header/Source" feature, which will gladly find www/item/one.adp when I'm editing www/site/one.tcl. It would be good if it would prefer the file in the current directory when one exists. Otherwise, it's a great feature. - Similarly, when using Cmd-T "Go to file", which I use almost exclusively to open up new files now, it would be great if I could write "itemonetcl" to get item/one.tcl, as opposed to site/one.tcl. Currently, it doesn't take the path into account at all. I can see some downsides to changing current behavior, too, particularly with the Go to file feature. But let me know what you think. /Lars

Re: textmate Info Page

by Don Kalar

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how one might use Textmate to interface with Matlab? I can have a command execute a given .m file, but Matlab is a much heavier process to load than perl is from the command line, so that becomes a very unattractive option. Ideally I'd like to have Matlab running in a terminal (the java interface is just too slow for me), and edit with Textmate in such a way that commands could reach the already loaded session. cheers, -don ========================== Don Kalar Graduate Student, Cognitive Neuroscience UCLA Department of Psychology 1285 Franz Hall, Box 951563 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1563 ==========================

Autoabbreviation?

by Ben Jackson

Anyone here use or has used TypeIt4Me? I loved the idea while it worked on my machine, but after 5 minutes it disappeared from my menu bar and the developer is not responsive. Basically every time you press a space it scans a list of abbreviations and expands the text if it finds a match. Is this something I could do in tm with a command? - Ben

delay after switching back to TM

by Tom Lazar

hi again, I realize this has been discussed a while back, but AFAIR the issue at the time has supposedly been resolved (threading of the filessystemchecking process) whenever I switch back to TM (say, after reloading a browser window) to make changes in (say, a page template) i experience a noticable and annoying delay of two to (sometimes) five seconds (on a dual 1GHz G4 system with 1.25Gb RAM) together with a noticable spike in CPU utilization. until yesterday I just attributed that delay to the fact that I've switched from working remotely via SFTP to WebDAV over HTTPS (on Tiger). Meanwhile I'm hooked on the conveniences of being able to work remotely using projects - so much, that I've moved my entire project to my local machine just to eliminate that nagging delay and keep the project mode - only to find out a day later that the delay is still there... the project contains well under a hundred files, each moderately sized, nothing fancy there. is there anything I can do on my side of the problem? could you on yours, Allan? the delay shows itself by having the frontmost (project-) window visble, but its bar grey and inactive. curious in berlin, best regards, tom -- Tom Lazar http://tomster.org

PHPCodeCompletion 1.0b4 available

by Mats Persson

1.0b4:: 1. Added a preference setting to handle the snippet output behaviour, so that it can handle both my style ( spaces_within_brackets ) and the PEAR standard style (no_spaces_within_brackets) styles on the fly independent of the stored snippet format. 2. Minor change to notify users of the documentation issues (no local documentation or internet access = empty documentation) You can find out more information about PHPCC 1.0b4 from here [ http://www.imediatec.co.uk/tm/phpcc/ ] or the download it directly from this link [ http:// www.imediatec.co.uk/tm/phpcc/PHPCodeCompletion-1.0b4.zip ] Please keep me informed of the ideas, problems and so on.

Keybindings

by Andreas Wahlin

In order for the system caret to move with pageup/down, I use this in my Keybindings file "\UF72C" = "pageUp:"; / * Page Up */ "\UF72D" = "pageDown:"; / * Page Down */ This works all and well, but is it possible to get smooth scrolling with it to? If i remove these lines, I get smooth scrolling but the caret won't move (actually, textpad gives smooth scrolling). Also, I'd like tab to indent/outdent lines of selected code, but "\U0009" = "indent:"; / * Tab */ seems to do nothing (actually, it does do something, it completely disables tab in textpad). as always, thankful for assintance Andreas

Justin's 'Ctrl+Space' expansions no longer working for me (b15)

by Tim Martens

Not sure when this happened. But Justin F's early bundle work which expands that which is before the cursor on a ctrl+space ('div' becomes <div>|</div>) stopped working for me. I can't live with out these. I did a checkout of the bundles after upgrading to b15. I did delete some (maybe his). Do you know which bundles these (macros/commands?) live in and how I can fix it? -tim

This size issue is largely a myth. Remember, we are discussing "pictograph" languages. In English, the word "forest" requires six characters. In Kanji (Chinese/Japanese pictographs), it requires one. Even if we need four bytes to encode that one character, it will still be smaller than the resulting English encoding. There are some encodings that squeeze Kanji into a smaller space, it's true, but to say that the files balloon in size without this is not really accurate, in comparison with other languages.

However, the Japanese (the one I know), at least, can just drop into their Kana (Hiragana and Katakana) syllabary to "spell out" any word they can't represent with Kanji. I assume the Chinese have a similar option, though I'm not familiar with that language. However, since the average Japanese person knows a few thousand Kanji and Unicode includes way over that, I seriously doubt this is a common problem. James Edward Gray II

Features request: columnar editing mode and fixed/delimiter conversion

by Jeremy Dunck

My favorite text editor on Windows is UltraEdit, and it has a columnar editing mode which is useful surprisingly often. I am pretty sure I understand how TextMate's columnar editing works (option-arrow to create column selection, then type). However, having a columnar mode makes the feature much more useful. When in the columnar mode, any cursor movement stays in the mode, and shift-arrow does what you'd expect it to: shift-up/down keeps the same columns selected but adds/removes the next line while shift-left/right adds/removes the next column for all lines. When you have one or more columns selected, typing replaces the contents with the character just pressed, but keeps the same number of columns. Typing with 0 selected columns enters that key on every row. Delete removes all the selected columns, yielding 0 selected columns. Paste enters the clipboard contents into the first row of the selected columns, though honestly, I'd prefer that it pasted to all selected rows. I think the primary benefit of a columnar mode is the ease of keyboard selection of the column range. Additionally, UltraEdit has a feature where you can analyze a delimited file and automagically convert it to a fixed width file, which lends itself to columnar editing. When done, you can then convert it back to a delimited format. The two features work together to make it great for editing flat files of both fixed and delimited flavors. I'm attaching a screenshot of the fixed scan dialog in ultraedit for illustration of the feature. It's not the best designed UI ever, but: x The current file is assumed to be delimited. x The scan button analyzes the current file's lines to try to determine the max length needed for each field based on the options selected (which are all settings except "Keep Delimiter" and "Field Widths"). x Based on this analysis, the Field Widths textbox is populated with each field's width. If you know the widths needed, you can skip the scan step and just enter your widths in the Field Widths box directly. x Once you're happy with the Field Widths values, you click Convert to translate it to fixed width. The "Keep Delimiter" option determines whether the original delimiters are stripped from the resulting fixed file. The Convert To Delimiter dialog is much simpler (screenshot excluded); it just takes the last Field Widths used for conversion to fixed, and slaps on the given delimiter at those lengths. === Sorry for the length, but I think these are very useful features which could be implemented (with a better UI) in TextMate, and I'd be happy to see them included.
