Hi
Can anyone tell me how to get syntax checking support...perhaps through using MTAC??
having to compile every time I want to check syntax is a real bottleneck....
Thanks

hi there.
somehow i list the symbol-popup and symbol-search functionality in
textmate. no matter what language, the popup is just empty and the
symbol-finder doesn't find anything.
is there perhaps any bundle i should not filter or s/th like this?
i'm clueless.
any help highly appr., regards, niko.

I must say, when I first started using TextMate I had no idea all the
commands even exited. And even now, after I've developed a fully
functional bundle of my own, I'm still discovering things about
TextMate that are kind of hidden.
Clearly Allan wants the app to be completely transparent, that the
code should be the most important focus of what you are doing and
that the interface should completely disappear and become an
extension of the code itself. And that's what I love about TextMate.
That being said, I think more needs to be done to expose the true
power of TextMate to people who are unaware of that fact that
commands in multiple bundles could apply to what they are doing. I
often don't know of all the possible commands that I could be using
at any given time. Aggregating those commands into a list so that
people can see what is possible, given the current scope, would be a
good thing I think. Be that in a drawer, palette, floating box,
whatever. And I don't think that that would significantly impact the
transparency of the app.
This keyboard combination does nothing when I type it. I have no
idea how to track this down. I have not noticed it doing anything in
any other context (program) either.
Considering the recent spate of "my keyboard bindings are broken"
messages, this sort of thing may not be an uncommon problem.

I've written several commands that access Rails functions (such
as script/generate scaffold) via osascript. They serve me well, and
I'd now like to give them out to the RoR/TextMate community as a
plugin. It would be great to package them together into a single
floating window with a drop down or similar item to provide quick-
access under Window>RailsTools or similar. Both TextMate and plugin
development are fairly new to me -- can anyone give me some hints or
sample code that would help me on my way?
Is it possible to change the key binding for completion, everywhere?
Unfortunately, I'm a converting Emacs user, and very used to hitting
Alt-/ to do completion...
I had a brief look in the manual, but I couldn't see an obvious way to
do this.
Thanks,

Just downloaded your bundle, the Balance Jr Macro is pretty sweet.
Indeed not exactly what I was looking for, and what was previously
very thoroughly and precisely explained by Eric O'Brien, but
nevertheless a very useful addition and a good example to study and
see if I can figure out how to code the functionality myself.
I thought there was a shortcut out of the box for that though, I used
to use it all the time in BBEdit and somehow assumed it was also in
TM. My bad! :) Time to brush up on my regex...

Sorry if this has come up before and sorry if I'm missing something
obvious...
I like to work with tab stops set to 4 characters and use spaces
rather than hard tabs for indentation - otherwise everything gets
messy when you process your file with something that expects 8 column
tabs.
Something seems a little counter-intuitive with the soft tabs setting
in TM. With Soft Tabs (Spaces) selected hitting tab still inserts a
hard tab character. Additionally with Soft Tabs selected Text >
Convert > Tabs to Spaces doesn't seem to do anything - it certainly
leaves plenty of tabs in the files. With Soft Tabs turned off I still
get hard tabs when I hit the tab key - but at least Tabs to Spaces
works.
This is in Perl mode - I haven't tried other modes yet but shall if
it's likely to make a difference.
So - what's the blindingly obvious solution I've missed? :)

I use Change to Column Selection as a quick way of commenting out
selected lines. For instance, if I've got a LaTeX selection that
looks like this:
%\captionwidth{\textwidth}
\begin{comment}
\begin{figure}
%\includegraphics{table2.pdf}
And I want to comment out the entire selection, then I can't use the
Comment Selection command (Command-/) because that simply removes the
existing comments. (I think this is a bug in the Source bundle.)
To work around the problem, I can do Change to Column Selection, then
hit '%', which achieves the desired effect of commenting out all lines:
%%\captionwidth{\textwidth}
%\begin{comment}
%\begin{figure}
%%\includegraphics{table2.pdf}
However, if I later want to remove the commenting I've added, Change
to Column Selection does not work. It seems I am only able to add,
not delete, text during column selection. Is this a bug?
Trevor
P.S. The Comment Selection does work properly for removing the
comments in the latter case, but it seems wrong to have to use one
technique for commenting out a selection and a completely different
one for removing the commenting.
