Hi Everyone
How do you go about creating your themes?
Do you start from another theme? with a clean slate? Do you do it
editing a plist file or just use the built-in editor? How do you
preview your results, what source code you find best to use?
I'm looking to craft a theme or two and would like to know how the
others are doing it.
oh yeah!!!
thankyou Allan!!!!
Get ready for some seriously hideous themes!!!! HaHA!
All I need next is the ability to set the color of underlines
separate from text color. (that might just be a pipe dream)
thanks!
is there a global source language where I can define white space scopes?
I looked on the mailing list history and couldn't find much about
this... so here goes
Is there any way to emulate the balance tags command in BBEdit?
If your selection is between brackets or between tag pairs,
balance tags selects the brackets and everything within it with a
shortcut.
for textmate
We might be able to emulate that function and improve on it.
The command would extend the selection to select the entire scope at
the insertion point.
Hitting it again would select the next scope up the chain.
If it's easier maybe we could just have it select everything with
foldingStartMarker and foldingStopMarkers.
Is this something that I could do with a command, or is it something
that would require a change to the programming?
I figure the data has to be in there somewhere in order to color the
scope.
I have no idea what it would take to like command-double-click on a
scope to select the whole thing or some such thing.
How about a Close All Tabs feature?
It's useful when you want to close all tabs, but leave the project open.
At the moment, I work around this by frantically clicking on the close
icon of the left-most tab until all tabs are close.
I uploaded a Perl module yesterday to CPAN and testers report
failures on several platforms when building the module.
The error logs mention unknown files whose name is the same one that
the actual included files, but with "._" prepended. For instance, if
the tarball contains "Makefile.PL" it turns out that it also contains
a mysterious "._Makefile.PL".
Even "ls -a" does not show those "._" files, and opening one of them
in a Windows machine showed something that seemed binary, and with
"www.macromates.com" somewhere with something that looks like
metadata like caret position (I think). That makes me wonder whether
TM could have anything to do with them. I am not familiar enough with
resource forks to be able to guess what's happening on my own.
Does this ring any bell?
-- fxn
I use the presumably obscure Dvorak/Command-Querty keyboard layout. It
uses Dvorak for standard typing, but when you hold down the command
key, it switches to Querty, so I can use the key that's actually
printed on the page, and preserve that precious command key muscle
memory. I've had mixed success using the command keys with TextMate,
though. For instance, I frequently change the indentation of blocks of
code, using command-[ and ]. When I use DQ, I tend to get some sort of
commenting. If I switch back to regular querty, I get the results I
expect. Is there any way this can be improved?
Hello, my name is Thomas.
And I am addicted to making textMate themes.
Please feed my addiction by suggesting theme ideas.
I have been told that my themes make peoples eyes bleed. They are
obviously of limited use, therefore.
If people seriously want a certain theme, I WILL make it (eventually).
I've got a process down now that's really quick.
-----
I WANT TO KNOW:
Who uses what theme in textMate?
What themes have you used from previous systems or applications?
visual studio? dreamweaver? bbedit? foo.app?
Do you like them?
Do you want an 'expert designer' to tell you what you should like?
<insert canned laughter here>
Do you have bad taste and should be ignored? <again.. haha>
Do you like black backgrounds? Do you like colored backgrounds?
Do you hate excessive use of background colors? ...for the
page? ...for individual elements?
Do you like high contrast? Do you prefer lower contrast?
Do you like having a bunch of different colors or would you prefer
one with shades of only a few colors?
What colors do you like? Please give examples.
Do you have synisthesia? Are certain elements 'supposed' to be a
certain color?
What languages do you want to have colored?
Do you want different languages to have different colors?
-----
Please provide example screen shots (or links to them to keep from
clogging the list) if at all possible.
Thank you for 'enabling' my habit ;D
After pressing Esc for word completion TxMt stops tab-completion on the
snippet. Is this a feature or a bug? Cheers,
Ben
