Hi, I'm really new to TextMate, having recently converted to a bit of Ruby development on the Mac. I'm interested in writing a bundle or some commands to help me use a tool called Hackystat. You can check out a few things about it here: http://hackystat.ics.hawaii.edu/hackystat/docbook/ch05.html Basically, it's a metrics collection server. It lets you install small sensors to collect software metrics, like how long you worked on a particular file. Since it's automatic it stays out of your way, it's consistent, and it's reliable. Each user controls their own metrics data. I want to write a sensor to collect these metrics from TextMate. The basics would be: 1) log when a new file is opened, 2) log when a file is closed, and 3) every so often (30 seconds) log which file is in the active window. Pretty simple. I'd like to start a small command-line program from a TM command, but I'd like to keep it open until TM is closed and send info to it periodically throughout the TM session. I've seen several items about launching command-line programs from TM, but can I keep one open in the background? Does TM block until the script finishes or can my Ruby script start another process and then return and get back to that process later? Can I intercept the File | Open actions and then record my metrics? I haven't seen how to do this in other posts. There's a growing list of tools that support Hackystat, including Emacs, Vim, Eclipse, and VisualStudio. I'd love to add TextMate to that list. http://hackystat.ics.hawaii.edu/hackystat/docbook/apa.html Plese let me know if any of this is possible and where I can dig up some documentation on it. Thanks!

Keybinding - ^u = Change to uppercase, don't like it... [version 1.1b15#1611]

by Johan Kåhrström

I'm having some trouble with the keybinding. It seems that in the latest stable release (1.1b15) the keycombination ^u is hardcoded to make current word uppercase. How can I change this? (it doesn't seem to be in the keybinding file). Regards, Johan Kåhrström

Fix for subversion log error

by Noah M. Daniels

I'd just started using the Subversion bundle, and everything was working great once I defined $TM_SVN except for the Log command, which would complain that it couldn't find the svn binary. Turns out that the problem is within the format_log.rb program; the line defining $svn_url read as follows: $svn_url = `svn info #{ENV['PWD'].quote_filename_for_shell}|grep URL| cut -b6-`.chop changing it to: $svn_url = `#{ENV['TM_SVN']} info #{ENV ['PWD'].quote_filename_for_shell}|grep URL|cut -b6-`.chop corrects the problem.

Renaming open files from Finder

by Charilaos Skiadas

Not sure if this is documented yet, but I've been having problems with files that are open in TM, and at the same time I edit their name through the Finder. It seems that TM still works with the old filename, and if I save it will save (a copy of) the file with the old filename. If the file is inside a folder and it is open in TM, and I rename the folder, then TM asks me for my password (!!!) when I try to save the file. No particular error messages in the console. Anyone else can reproduce this? Haris

TM Documentation & RubyOnRails == Your time to help, please !!

by Mats Persson

OK, considering the number of RoR users using TM and on this list, I am throwing this whole thing out to the community to help and assist with. Over the past few weeks I've been working on the TM documentation site (90% done), and has hacked a version of Hieraki to handle it. I've done a variety of changes even though I'm a RoR newbie, but now I'm a bit fed up with my limitations, and the time it takes for me - as a newbie - to do the stuff. It's a good learning ground, but I'm also completely out of time for doing this stuff, so I am hoping that others are willing to help out as well. Outstanding issues & problems: 1. Routing & URLs issues This is 90% done, and the documentation now handles human readable URL's like these: a. URL: site.com/chaptertitle/ b. URL: site.com/chaptertitle/pagetitle/ c. URL: site.com/chaptertitle/subchaptertitle/ d. URL: site.com/chaptertitle/subchaptertitle/pagetitle/ Translated into TM doc's speek: if we have a chapter called "Appendices" and a subchapter called "RegExp" and then a page called "Overview" then the url becomes site.com/appendices/regexp/overview/ The outstanding issues here are: -- not all links are working fully/correctly -- there's too many hacks in the code, -- too much repeated code -- may have issues in it that I've not thought off 2. Support for Markdown within Hieraki. Allan prefers to work with Markdown code, and Hieraki does only support Textile at the moment. I and many others (?) prefer Textile so ideally the system should cater to both. 3. User comments System Having the ability for user's to easily comment on existing documentation is in my mind fundamental to good documentation, and that's why I'm hoping for this feature to be added as soon as possible. The following two points are more important really and are stuff that I can't possibly do, so they really do need someone else to help out with. 4. Code Checking As a newbie, I'm sure to have done some bad stuff, so it needs someone more knowledgeable to look through the code and confirming it's solid & efficient. 5. Installation on Allan's TextDrive a/c and setting up issues. You can see a basic working version - minus some of the latest changes - on this URL: [ www.imediatec.co.uk/tmdocs/ ] I have it all in a SVN a/c on TextDrive, so I can easily open it up for you to work on and commit your changes to. So please take some time to help out !! Worst come worst, I'd be grateful IF I could just have a few people to ask for help from as and when I need it. Yes, I'm on the RoR IRC and ML, and although I've been helped there, it's not always convenient and fast. OK, I'm sure some of you will say "why a hacked version of Hieraki ? Why not ....?" and so on. Hieraki did the vast majority of what was needed, but had some limitations, like no single page display (done), no search (done) and it was easy to make it look and work like the new design style of the Macromates site (due to be public later on this year). Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

Subversion Integration?

by Bryce Thornton

Is there any timeline for Subversion integration in Textmate? I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find any solid information. Thanks, Bryce

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

Additional Keyword support for SQL Language

by Mark Cotner

This was my first stab at editing a language definition. I tried to add "COPY" support as well, but couldn't get it to work for whatever reason. This version supports most keywords in the spec.
