Problems with Ruby "Documentation for Word / Selection"

by Simon Ruderich

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, I'm using "Documentation for Word / Selection" of the Ruby-bundle very extensive and so I spotted some problems. When I load the "Documentation for a Word" with ^H (for example "include"), then click on a Link (in my example "Module") and then click on _any_ link, I get a white error page reading "Error: Not Found"; but for a small moment I can see the new page was loaded. I tried some things and after removing the following line in the javascript function "ri" it works for me. window.location.hash = "actual_output"; But I'm not really sure why, so please could you look into it. There is also another problem, which annoys me. Sometimes when I click on a link, then the new content is not displayed. Only after I use Apple+A to select the hole text, the new page appears. It appears to happen when the new content is smaller then the old one, but I'm not really sure. Could you please check this too. Thanks in advance, Simon - ---- > privacy is necessary > using http://gnupg.org > public key id: 0x6115F804EFB33229 http://ruderich.com/ simonruderich.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFFbKhwYRX4BO+zMikRCqdnAJ9GeunV5vm0S467pZLtdTm60zGgogCdHL9D 7FmARF9yVRxo7zQeiHsRrs8= =daNX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

escaping characters (in the document)

by Rob McBroom

I've read the documentation and done some searching and haven't found the answer to this. For shell init scripts and various other purposes, I'd like to be able to "type" characters like ⌃[ or ⌃G. You know, the kind of thing you would precede with ⌃V in the Terminal. It seems that Cocoa has a key binding for this (NSQuotedKeystrokeBinding, which is ⌃Q by default), but it is used for another purpose in Textmate. Has the functionality been remapped or do I need to try to define it for Textmate myself? It doesn't seem to be set… rob@kendra ~> defaults read com.macromates.Textmate NSQuotedKeystrokeBinding 2006-11-29 14:47:10.910 defaults[6713] The domain/default pair of (com.macromates.Textmate, NSQuotedKeystrokeBinding) does not exist On a related note, I'd like to be able to "see" these characters as well, or perhaps toggle them of and on (with ⌥⌘I ideally). Texmate is better than most Cocoa apps, as it seems to display a space in place of such characters instead of nothing at all, but I'd like to know what that space represents. Has anyone tried enabling [NSTextShowsControlCharacters][] in Textmate? I'm guessing there would be undesired side-effects. Should I have asked these questions before Allan took off? :) [NSTextShowsControlCharacters]: http://developer.apple.com/ documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/ chapter_9_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000468-610689 --- Rob

Small Summary File for each Bundle

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Dear all, everyone knows that the number of available bundles for TM increases steadily ;) In the blog 'Getting More Bundles' http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2006/08/21/getting-more-bundles/ you can read about the marvelous 'GetBundle' bundle written by Sebastian Gräßl and Brian mentioned: "... What would make this even sweeter is a small summary of what that bundle does before we download it!" I believe the easiest way to add such a small summary would be to include in each bundle root path a structured plain text or html file, maybe called 'summary' or whatever. Then it would be possible to read this file (or only a part of it if it also includes information about author/date/...) and add this to the GetBundle bundle dialog by using tm_dialog and a nib. On the other hand this summary file could also be used for searching a bundle if it contains significant keywords. It is often the case that I need a function and I cannot find any for my purpose, so I start to write my own code. And then after spending much time on it, it turns out that there is already such a similar function. And I dislike to invent the wheel twice ;) Furthermore if I go to .../trunk/Bundles it would be possible to add a link to a 'summary' page which is generated automatically by taking and formatting all available summary files of each listed bundles to get an overview of these. Or similar e.g. to the R-project sites à la http://cran.xedio.de/src/ contrib/PACKAGES.html Are there any comments on it? BTW It would also be nice to have meaningful screenshot(s) for each TM theme available at ../trunk/Themes ;) Cheers, Hans

webpreview.css

by Erik van Eykelen

I get this error: "bash: line 1: selected_theme: command not found cat: /Users/{myname}/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/css/ webpreview.css: No such file or directory" when running a Ruby script from Textmate (build 1324, and today's (Nov 17) SVN checkout for the bundles). Does anyone have a hint? Best regards, Erik van Eykelen http://railsgigs.com - where start-ups meet developers

GTDalt Questions

by Lawrence Goodman

Thanks again for this fabulous bundle. A few small issues: 1) I was wondering if you could post the script you wrote in an earlier version of the bundle for moving the date ahead a day with a keystroke. It would be very handy for me. 2) When I go into Review--> Current Actions mode, there are check boxes ("Mark") next to each item. If I check one of these, how go I get it to sync back to my gtd file and make the item as completed. Thanks. -- Lawrence Goodman lawrencegoodman(a)gmail.com Check out my blog: http://goodmanorama.blogspot.com

Hello all, is there a way to set the filename that will appear in the Save dialog when saving an untitled document? Using TM_FILEPATH perhaps? Martin

Bundle Editor: two 'tiny' questions

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I know that these items are not so simple to do but would it be possible to 1) add line numbers to this editor? Because it would simplify the search for errors for instance. 2) to apply syntax highlighting to this editor? This would mean to change NSTextField to TM's window object. Thanks, Hans

"Edit in TextMate" in Webkit Nightly Builds

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, I'm using nightly Webkit builds, and now just noticed that "Edit in TextMate" hack doesn't work with the builds. Does anybody have any solution? The phrase "Edit in TextMate" is not dimmed, but if tried to activate, it gives me an alert sound. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net AIM: samuraicoder(a)mac.com

Run Scripts with Arguments and pipe STDIN to script - A simple Approach?

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, this thread follows the discussion in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.textmate.general/13806/focus=13806 'run script with args' In order to be able to control the arguments and STDIN here my suggestion: Example for Perl: #!/usr/bin/env perl -w #!TMC: STDIN=cat ~/Desktop/test.txt #!TMC: ARG=1 "2 and 3" /etc/file #!TMC:end print join ('-',@ARGV); print "\n"; @a = <STDIN>; chomp(@a); $j=1; foreach $line (@a) { print $j++.$line."\n"; } The actual command line would be: 'cat ~/Desktop/test.txt | /usr/bin/ perl -w 1 "2 and 3" /etc/file The idea is to specify the values for ARG and STDIN hidden as comments within the script. If you want to test several ARGs and STDINs you can write #!/usr/bin/env perl -w # !TMC: STDIN=cat ~/Desktop/test.txt # !TMC: ARG=1 "2 and 3" /etc/file #!TMC: STDIN = echo -e "A\nB" #!TMC: ARG = DATA #!TMC:end ... By doing so line 5 and 6 are active. You see to change ARG and STDIN is easy. Of course, you can think about to use tm_dialog with an history list or whatever but I believe this is fast and very simple. If you forget to delete the TMC tags while running this script from Terminal it doesn't matter. These tags are comments. For that purpose I add some stuff to scriptmate.rb. Here some hints: #parse script for arguments and STDIN pipe data given as comment(s) #!TMC: ARG= //everything after = is interpreted as arguments like ARG= one two "three and four" five #!TMC: STDIN= //everything after = will be executed on the system and piped to the script like STDIN=cat /PATH/TO/FILE #!TMC:end //marker to cancel the parsing; the parsing also ends if ARG _and_ STDIN are set # #!TMC: ... //active # !TMC: ... //not active to have the chance to chooce # #known problems: # for Perl # piping STDIN: e.g. @a = <>; doesn't work, use instead @a = <STDIN>; # Any comments? Bye, Hans PLEASE forgive my Ruby syntax ;)
