I have just discovered TextMate, and am so far very happy with it,
but I think I just hit a glitch...
I am trying to edit a SQL load file that is about 5M, which shouldn't
be a problem. However, some of the lines are very long, as a complete
website contents is in a single line. I have no idea how many
characters are in this line, but I suspect about 2M worth.
Anyway, TextMate hangs while trying to work with this file. I can't
do much at all. Even a simple act of scrolling hangs. TextEdit does a
reasonably good job with the file though...
Actually, I don't think it is hanging, as it eventually responds
(about 30 seconds later), but it is so slow that it is completely
unusable. Is this a known problem? For me, it is weird files like
this that we need an editor like TextMate to be able to easily handle.
Thanks...

Hi!
I'm just working on some Tex-Document which uses several dialogues
which I want to enclose in "< "> (the result are those <<
>>-enclosures in the document). Would be cool if that could be added
to the language grammar.
Thanks in advance

Hi Allan and friends,
I have a source tree structure like this:
www/
site/
index.tcl, .adp
one.tcl, .adp
edit.tcl, .adp
item/
index.tcl, .adp
one.tcl, .adp
edit.tcl, .adp
The fact that files are named the same, but in different directories:
- Confuses both the Cmd-Opt-Up "Go to Header/Source" feature, which
will gladly find www/item/one.adp when I'm editing www/site/one.tcl. It
would be good if it would prefer the file in the current directory when
one exists. Otherwise, it's a great feature.
- Similarly, when using Cmd-T "Go to file", which I use almost
exclusively to open up new files now, it would be great if I could
write "itemonetcl" to get item/one.tcl, as opposed to site/one.tcl.
Currently, it doesn't take the path into account at all.
I can see some downsides to changing current behavior, too,
particularly with the Go to file feature.
But let me know what you think.

As I set up Reformat Comment commands for the languages I use most
frequently (LaTeX and R), it occurred to me that maybe there's a way
to make a single call to rubywrap more generic, so that we don't need
a command per bundle. This is the result:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
$LOAD_PATH << "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib"
require "escape"
scope = ENV["TM_SCOPE"]
case scope
when /comment\.(block|line)\.number-sign\./
cstring = "# "
when /comment\.(block|line)\.percentage\./
cstring = "% "
end
flags = ""
flags += " -p \"#{cstring}\" "
flags += " --retabify" if ENV["TM_SOFT_TABS"] == "NO"
text =`echo -n "#{e_as(STDIN.read).gsub(/[$`]/, '\\\\\0')}" | ruby "#
{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/bin/rubywrap.rb" #{flags}`
print e_sn(text)
The parameters are the same as the current command, with the
exception of scope, which I set to "comment.line, comment.block".
I also added a gsub to the command because it was eating latex math
and R symbols ($). There's probably a better solution to that. This
seems to work for me, and should be extended easily by adding lines
to the case statement for other languages. One advantage is that by
specifying the comment character based on the scope, it ought to work
for anything; it catches comments for both bash and perl, for
instance, without any extra effort. I think it's kind of cool.

Hello,
I am working a lot with source code written using Emacs on Linux. The
prevailing convention is that tabs are presented as 8 spaces, but
indents are only 4 spaces. Indenting will insert spaces, and Emacs
seems to swap groups of 8 spaces for a tab.
If I use a tab size of 8 in Textmate, the source files display
correctly. Sadly, there is no way to tell Textmate to use an indent
size of 4.
It would be very useful is it was possible to tell TextMate to:
1. Draw tabs as 8 spaces
2. Use spaces when indenting
3. Intend with 4 spaces, not the 8 spaces from a tab
Is there any way to do this with TextMate at the moment?
I'm using TextMate 1.5.3 (1215)

Hi,
Mail has this thing where by when you are typing and you are not sure
of the spelling of the word (or even if such a word exists) you
can press <esc> before yo complete the word & it gives you a pull
down of various choices. Is this something that can be incorporated
in the text scope of textmate?
(note: i know of ctr-apple-D which can check for the word in
dictionary but that is not the functionality I need in this case -
ie, since that assumes you already know how to spell the word...)
Thanks
danstan
ps; interestingly the Mail functionality doesnt seem to work within
a sentence.
I must be missing something really obvious here but I don't know how
to do this most basic thing:
(1) Drag a folder onto TM icon to open as project
(2) Open an HTML file called index.html
-- Now here's the part that throws me ---
(3) Make a new file called index2.html based on the original index.html
My first instinct is to right click on the file in the project drawer
and look for "duplicate file" or something similar - no such option
exists. So the next thing I try is opening the file and using "Save
as" to make the new file. This actually works but something weird
happens: In the drawer, it has the effect of *renaming* my original
file rather than adding a new one. If I switch to another
application and then back to TM, the original file reappears. Is
this expected behavior?
So what's the preferred method of creating a new file starting with a
copy of an existing one?
Thanks!

Hello
When I choose from the bundle Latex > Edit Configuration File
The in TextMate opening file is rather confusing. When I open this file
in Proprety List Editor ists clear, but in TextMate its rather cryptic ...
Is there something wring with my configuration, or is that normal. Also
I dont know, how to actually use this file.
Thanks

The macro described here has a few oddities.
http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2005-October/006444.html
<quote>
1) move to beginning of line (ctrl A)
2) regexp search for: (?=\S|$)
</quote>
Lets say '#' indicates where the cursor is.
When I press Home on the following line..
@implementation App#Controller
Then the cursor is placed between '@' and 'i'.
When I press Home on the following line..
x -(IBAction)te#st:(id)sender {
Then the cursor is placed just before '-'.
Pressing home on an empty line then the cursor is
placed on the following line.
Is there a better smart-home macro?
preferable a smart-home macro that can toggle
between line-begin and text-begin.

I've tried to make the citation and bibliography commands detect
where your installation is, so that you shouldn't have to set any
environment variables for those any more. So once again, those brave
among you and with no paper deadlines, please remove any special PATH
specifications that you had made just for LaTeX TM (likely based on
previous recommendations by me), and let me know if the commands
still work for you, and if not then also where, to the best of your
knowledge, your tex binaries are. (Probably doing: "which kpsewhich"
from the terminal should give that to you.
Thank you all again for your patience in this transitive period.

TextMate has a syntax element called "Embedded Source", which is used
for things like the lstlisting environment in LaTeX or JavaScript
code embedded in HTML. The default background color for this element
is a light blue, which is almost identical to the light blue used for
selected text. Because of the similarity, I always get confused and
think I've inadvertently selected some embedded source. I'm wondering
why there is such a similarity between these colors. Was it
deliberate (and if so, what was the reason?) or was this an oversight?

A little command that's especially useful for writing emails.
It takes a highlighted URI and uses murl.info to shorten it to
something more like:
http://murl.info/14511
Very tinyurl but a little more underground ;-). Plus I couldn't get
tinyurl to do this...
It will accept a uri with or without a protocol (http(s)) and will
accept just about any amount of garbage on the end. It does a pretty
decent job of recognizing if what you have selected is actually a uri
or not.

Hello all,
If you have a chance, it's a fun read and great responses from Allan.

In my opinion, Erik is just upset that he did not get a free license
from Allan. :)
Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a template which will consist of an HTML file and
a CSS file (eventually a number of CSS files in a separate directory)
but I'm having a few problems. I tried duplicating the Objective-C
singleton template and essentially copied and pasted the code with a
few changes. This is what my template code looks like now:
export TM_YEAR=`date +%Y`
export TM_DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
export TM_USERNAME=`niutil -readprop / /users/\$USER realname`
TM_HEADER="$TM_NEW_FILE_BASENAME.css"
if [[ ! (-f $TM_NEW_FILE || -f $TM_HEADER) ]]; then
perl -pe 's/\$\{([^}]*)\}/$ENV{$1}/g' <html_in.html >"$TM_NEW_FILE"
perl -pe 's/\$\{([^}]*)\}/$ENV{$1}/g' <css_in.css >"$TM_HEADER"
fi
This creates the HTML file but not the CSS file. Or at least it
didn't until I reloaded the bundles and discovered "untitled.css" had
appeared in the template file list alongside html_in.html and
css_in.css. Very odd! I did some more reading and found a post in the
mailing list archives (http://article.gmane.org/
gmane.editors.textmate.general/8424/match=templates+multiple+files)
which Allan mentioned I need to edit an info.plist file.
Unfortunately I've not been able to find this file anywhere. Could
anyone suggest where it might be and what I need to edit?
Eventually I want to build a template which looks like
index.html
\stylesheets
master.css
standard.css
Would this be possible and if so, any pointers on how I might go
about it?
Cheers!

Hi,
This is my first post to this list. I've been a user of BBEdit for
many years, and out of curiosity I've decided to check out TextMate.
I'm actively involved in the MacTeX effort, mainly for testing, and
I've written a set of Applescripts and shell scripts for BBEdit to
play nice with LaTeX. For these scripts I made sure they play nice
with the tricks TeXShop uses for multi-file projects, since TeXShop
is the standard entry-level application that most will use when they
start with (La)TeX on Mac OS X, and if you're compatible with the
starting point, you make it a lot easier to upgrade to a serious editor.
I must say that I like what I've seen so far, but I have some
suggestions:
Textmate runs either the current file or a file pointed to in some
environment variable. I guess there is an easy way to set this
variable, but TeXShop uses a method that is not all that hard to
implement; I did so for some BBEdit AppleScripts [1]. The core is
actually implemented in a (rather ugly) shell script, you may be able
to reuse parts of the script.
TeXShop defines some meta comments, describing the source, and how it
can be typeset. From the help-files:
%!TEX TS-program = command
-- use command to typeset this file (pdflatex, latex, pdftex, texexec
(context), …). If you encounter one of the classic tex formats
(latex, tex), you should prepend with simpdf (simpdftex, simpdflatex)
to handle some code which will not work in pdftex, like pstricks,
simpdf(la)tex will take care of the final conversion to pdf and
previewing.
%!TEX encoding = encoding
-- this file is encoded in encoding (a string using the Apple system
names, see below for a list). Since all sane encoding use the same
lower 7 bits, you can start reading in US ASCII until this string is
encountered, and re-open in the correct encoding.
%:Marker
-- use Marker in a tags menu.
%!TEX root = Document
-- Use Document as the root for typesetting the current file.
It would be useful to have a "open selection" command that opens a
referenced file, and an open master command. I have some of those in
my scripts in my bundle [1], for regular tex files, and graphics
files (either open the original metapost source, of open the graphic
in preview or so).
I have a sample project that shows most of the issues, mail me off-
list if you are interested.
Regards,
Maarten Sneep
You haven't had real fun with regular expressions until you've
written a vi regular expression to search for a vaguely remembered
regular expression in a document which describes how they work.

Hello all,
I'd like to propose two additions to the C bundle.
First, an easy snippet: typedef.
I know I can never remember how typedef works, so I propose this
snippet:
typedef ${1:WhatItIs} ${2:NowCallIt}
Second, a modification on an old favorite: the class snippet.
Most of the classes I write are subclasses of something else.
Except the class snippet echos my colon and subclass declaration.
Meaning, I end up with class declarations like:
class Customer : public Person
{
public:
Customer : public Person (arguments);
virtual ~Customer : public Person ();
private:
/* data */
};
(Note the ": public Person" echoed on both the constructor line,
and the deconstructor like).
I suggest modifying the class snippet like so:
class ${1:name}${2: : public } $3
{
public:
${1:name} (${4:arguments});
virtual ~${1:name} ();
private:
${0:/* data */}
};
There are a few things I don't like about this, mainly that if
you don't inherit from something you know have to type
"'class', tab, delete, tab, arguments. It also might handle
multiple inheritance poorly, or protected/private inheritance.
Maybe some TextMate snippet wizards (or people with more involved
C++ classes than I) can revisit my snippet to make it work better
with these cases.
Hope this helps,
_Ryan Wilcox

Hi,
I just updated installed Bundles via GetBundle.
While I am writing perl and running the script, error is experienced.
"csh: setenv: Too many arguments. /bin/bash: line 2: : command not found"
It looks like it has problems with environment variables.
However, I do not change the environment or anything else.
How can I check and fix this?
Cheers,

I realize that this seems to have been covered a couple of times,
however, I am new to most of this and need a better clarification.
I've been using TM to write to my blog without any problem. The past
two weeks I've been very busy and haven't posted to my blog. Then a
couple of days ago I tried to do so and got the following when I try

P.s. By the way, I don't exactly feel my skills in the terminal are
good enough to input the change that Brett has shared with everyone.
Hey all,
I've carefully read the TextMate manual 8.2 search PATH
actually my ~/.profile, ~/.MacOS/environment.plist have the same
value than the shell i'm using (zsh).
in fact i've writen two ruby scripts to update these files according
to zsh setup.
then, my PATH hits first /opt/local/bin where is theMacPort Ruby.
when i use a ruby file with the following shebang :
#! /usr/bin/env ruby -wx
from TextMate i get :
/usr/bin/ruby: No such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)
from terminal :
$ ./myscript.rb
it works as expected.
I think i've miss something to set env vars for TextMate...
but what ???

So,
I've used DarwinPorts (aka MacPorts) to install the latest version of
the BASH shell (v3.1.17). I've set it as my default shell within the
NetInfo database. I also have it on the list of acceptable shells in
my etc/shells file
I'm just wondering how you force TextMate to use this shell as opposed
to the built-in BASH shell.
When ever I run (done by selecting the "Filter Through Command" menu
item in the Text menu. I select input none, and am working in a blank
document, and I select "Insert as Text" as the output): echo
$BASH_VERSION
I get back: 2.05b.0(1)-release
In the terminal I get:
3.1.17(1)-release
Can anyone help?

I just started looking more into the SQL bundle and using it to
execute the statements I'm creating but I keep getting an error in
the results display saying that it can't find mysql — and it, of
course, lists all the places it looked.
Is it possible to set the mysql path in the shell variables or is
there something else I have to do so TM can find my mysql?
Thanks,
