I've managed to hose the binding for my keypad Enter key. It doesn't do anything now. It could have had something to do with using the 'defaults' command, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? I would even consider a return to all default keybindings. ADVthanksANCE! Regards, JJ --- Help everyone. If you can't do that, then at least be nice.

(no subject)

by Nicholas Cole

(sorry if this pops up multiple times - gmail doesn't seem to be working properly) I've recently started using Textmate and the Latex bundle. I found that I wanted to extend the functionality in various ways, including by adding definitions to the Lanuage file to allow me to highlight footnotes and emphasised text. Some of the code I wanted to add is: { name = 'meta.footnote.latex'; begin = '(\\(footnote|noteToSelf)\{)'; end = '(\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.footnote.latex'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '$self'; } ); contentName = 'variable.parameter.footnote.latex'; }, { name = 'meta.emph.latex'; begin = '(\\emph\{)'; end = '(\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.emph.latex'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '$self'; } ); contentName = 'variable.parameter.emph.latex'; }, I've added that code to a copy of the Language definition. It seems to work fine (there are probably errors, since I'm a newbie) but it occurs to me that there may be a better way to do it. As it stands, if the Latex bundle is updated in the next release, I'll still be using the older language definition. Is there any way I could have written my snippit to avoid that problem? Best wishes, Nicholas

CSS, @media and color-coding

by José Campos

Hi All, Did I missed a step or something, but the first "child" in a @media ... {...} never appears color-coded (See the attached screenshot for an example) Thanks,

Hm, that's an interesting idea, just match any command containing the word cite as meta.cite.latex ..... I'll have to think about that a bit though, and ask the other maintainers. Do you have a list of all these commands? Of course, adding support for every single latex package out there is not really feasible... Looking at http://www.jurabib.homelinux.org/jurabib/jb-com-ref.pdf, there are not really that many citation options, and most of them are already supported in the newest version of the bundle (in the repository). What commands do you find missing? I think it is missing author and title addons at the moment, but those can be easily added. footcite support was added two days ago or so, along with the new completion commands. Haris

save file AFTER command has been run?

by Jim Bagrow

Hi Guys, First time poster, been using TM for a while though. I'm trying to write a command that will run, do it's thing, then save the file. The trick is how to get it to save AFTER the command alters the file. Is this possible? Specifically, what I am trying to do is update a `Last Modified:` string whenever I save a file. That's the easy part, I did it with some python triggered by cmd-s. Now that the string has been altered, how do I save the file? It seems possible with applescript, but I can't get it to work. If anyone has any suggestions about this final step, that would be great. I know there's something wrong with my applescript, it tends to behave differently in osascript than in Script Editor, is this because of the escaped quotes? Something to do with combining triple- and single-quotes? I've searched everywhere, apple documentation, textmate wiki/mailing list, and turned up nothing! It seems to me that having a "Save After" option for Commands would be useful. What do you guys think? Maybe this has been discussed already. Thanks for your help, Jim Bagrow Here is the command: Save: Current File Command: ************************************************************* #!/usr/bin/env python import os import re import datetime # get selected text from shell: path = os.getenv('TM_FILEPATH') f = open(path, 'r') text = f.read() f.close() string = "Last Modified: "+datetime.date.isoformat( datetime.datetime.today() ) p = re.compile('Last Modified: \d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d') result = p.sub(string, text) print result # how can I save the file at this point, AFTER it's been modified? # PS: I hate applescript! cmd = """osascript -e \" set thePath to do shell script \"echo $TM_FILEPATH\" tell application \"TextMate\" activate save current document in thePath end tell \" """ os.popen(cmd) ************************************************************* Input: Entire Document Output: Replace Document Activation: Key Equivalent -> "cmd-S"

Re: feature request: non-applescript external editor protocol

(i think what i'd *really* like is to have a lua interpreter embedded in TM, but in the absence of that we should be able to do almost everything with external programs...)

Re: Req: exclude directory(ies) from "find in project".

by Luke Hartman

"All that stuff" is required for Rails to run, but you can remove it from a TM project (which doesn't delete them from the finder) and not have to deal with files you don't modify. luke > From: Alain Ravet <arav2132(a)biz.tiscali.be> > Date: January 27, 2006 2:04:02 AM CST > To: textmate(a)lists.macromates.com > Subject: [TxMt] Re: Req: exclude directory(ies) from "find in > project". > Reply-To: TextMate users <textmate(a)lists.macromates.com> > > > Steve > > > Why not just make a project without all that stuff in it and > just save > > the project? > > Because "all that stuff" is required, of course. > > Alain

Re: New Bundle

by Oliver Taylor

Thanks to Allen I've managed to add HTML export to my screenwriting bundle. So now you can export your screenplays in proper Studio Format! However, thanks to Safari's (and all other browsers) lack of support for paged-media styles the resulting document does not print ideally. That being said, it's a very nice result for outputting to HTML. In fact, it's much better than Final Draft 7! (they don't declare doctypes... bad final draft). It would be nice to see actual support of CSS2 paged-media styles... one can only hope. When exporting a PDF from Safari it adds header information and footer stuff, as well as a nice .25in margin on every side. I'd like to change that, if you know how let me know. I've looked into using HTMLDoc and Prince to export the resulting HTML document to a pdf by way of bypassing the build-in PDF services but both of those cost money, something I'd like to avoid. If you have any tips, let me know. I've also added support for printing and non-printing comments, as well as general code clean-up. Aside from minor changes in regexp rules to account for people's writing habits, I cannot foresee to many more changes in the bundle (aside from a better PDF option). So, thanks to all of you who helped and especially to Allen. You can now say that TextMate has a (somewhat) full-featured Screenplay-writing bundle that imports resulting documents *perfectly* into Final Draft. Objective accomplished.

typo in diff bundle

by Gerd Knops

The Diff bundle command 'Selected Files in Project Drawer (HTML)' references "$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/diff.pl", but the actual file is "$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/Diff.pl" (note case: d vs. D). If (like in my case) TM is installed on a case sensitive file system, that command will not work: --- Commands/Diff Selected Files.plist (revision 2604) +++ Commands/Diff Selected Files.plist (working copy) @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ exit_show_tool_tip fi -perl "$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/diff.pl" +perl "$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/Diff.pl" </string> <key>input</key> <string>none</string> Gerd PS: What are the rules to gain write access to http://macromates.com/ svn?

For example for the TextMate manuals > print style sheet I force a page break [1] after each chapter. - > Allen O. Safari's support for paged-media within CSS2 is limited. Specifically, it supports both the "auto" and "always" values, but not "avoid"; which is why I can't get the following rules to work: @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 1in 1in 1in 1.5in; } dl, dd { page-break-inside: avoid; } dt, h2 { page-break-after: avoid; } h3 { page-break-before: avoid; } h4 { page-break-after: avoid; } I've tested these in Safari, Camino, and a Safari Nightly Build.
