I decided to give TextMate a serious try and I'm writing a whole xHTML/PHP/CSS image gallery thing with it. I own BBEdit but the program's clearly outdated in many ways... I spent a few hours customizing the color coding, snippets, etc... I'm totally considering switching... BUT... There's one thing that is starting to get me pretty frustrated after a while: when you click and drag selected text to move it in your document you have to be super precise and select what I'm guessing is the area between the selection highlight and the text baseline. Anything else will just deselect the already selected text and restart the selection over... yuk.... Kinda of a deal breaker for me (probably 'cause I'm a sucky coder and I keep on moving stuff around ;) Any chance of an update that would let you drag from any part of the highlight selection? I wouldn't even mind if it was an apple+drag or whatever... my two cents... ;) ......................................... m i n i m a l d e s i g n 244 Fifth Avenue - Suite P233 New York, NY 10001-7604 USA tel / fax: 212.931.8525 email: work(a)minimaldesign.net site: http://minimaldesign.net/

creating new extension and icon

by jose.campos+tm＠galacsys.com

Hi, Trying to link specific icons to a new extension "*.perso", - I have created a set of icons I named "perso.icns" - and put it in "Textmate/Contents/Resources" - then edit "Textmate/Contents/info.plist" and add : 8<--- <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key> <array> <string>perso</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key> <string>perso</string> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>Plain text document</string> </dict> 8<--- But when I create a new document with the "perso" extension, it comes with a blank icon (with upper right corner folded). The set of icons I've created seems to work well when I replace an existing set (log.icns for instance) with this set. So, which step did I miss? Thanks, -- Jo <W:00°04'37" ; N:47°15'36"> 1....'....12.....'....24.....'....36.....'....48.....'....60.....'....72

folding issue with loop ... end loop (vhdl bundle)

by Peter Vohmann

Hello Mates, Folding is probably what drives me with open arms to you, guys. If I'm getting it to work, that is. A pathological case is this vhdl construct: loop do_something; exit when signal='1'; do_something_more; end loop; My first attempt looks like this (just longer): foldingStartMarker = "(?i:(loop|case|if))"; foldingStopMarker = "(?i:end)"; But this does not work, because the "loop" also matches the stopMarker! TextMate will not mark the end line at all, and get quite screwed up in building its folds. The same for "end if", "end case", to name a few. Any reasonable ideas how to write a foldingStartMarker pattern that will _not_ trigger on the final line? Peter

Spaces instead of tabs -> per filetype basis?

by Shanti Braford

Hey all, I was wondering if there was a way to setup different file types to use the "Tab -> space" conversion feature, and others... not. I.e. for Ruby on Rails code (.rb and possibly .rhtml), I'd like to have Tabs automatically get converted to spaces. But for .txt files and other file types where I would like to keep tabs... is there a way to do this somehow? Just finally registered my copy of TextMate... and, knowing how incredibly versatile it is, I'm just figuring there's got to be a way to pull this off somehow (w/o making it a new feature, which, imho would be nice too!) =) Shanti

Minor Feature Request: Zoom Below 9px

by thomas Aylott

To test what this could look like you can use a font size of like 5 in prefs. After you zoom in, it won't let you zoom back out past 9. If we (I, really... who cares about anyone else :D ) could zoom out past 9, we could get a good visual overview of the whole document. Not a big change, but it'd be handy to me atleast.

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. Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

Latex preferences: symbols

by Berndt Farwer

I think the scope for the symbol list preferences of the Latex bundle ought to be set to "text.latex entity.name.section" The default of "text.latex entity.name" shows every "\item” in the "Go to symbol ..." (cmd-shift-t) list. Berndt

Question about Rails syntax highlighting

by Raymond Brigleb

Sorry if this is Obvious Question #37... but I swear TM used to have Rails-specific syntax highlighting and that disappeared (is this possible?) in one of the recent betas or something. When I look at my Language selection, I only see Ruby. Am I crazy? Wasn't there a Rails one? Can I just grab that from somewhere? It seemed to highlight more detailed and specific syntax than Ruby does.... Thanks, Raymond

Anyone using ctags?

by Oscar Bonilla

I saw there was a ruby script posted to the list a while ago for integration with ctags, but it's not working for me... before I go off and start writing my own, is anyone using ctags with TextMate? Thanks, -Oscar -- pgp fingerprint: BC64 2E7A CAEF 39E1 9544 80CA F7D5 784D FB46 16C1
