Here are 3 macros, 3 commands, and a small Ruby program that take the DRY principle to another level while writing Rails migrations. These snippets for creating a table, adding a column, and renaming a column will add the opposite actions into self.down for you. I made a 30 second demo video so you can see them in action. You'll find all this on my blog. The address is in my signature. Hope some of you find this useful. -- Sami Samhuri http://sami.samhuri.net

Remembering drawer side

by Steven Wittens

I really like the project drawer and I always keep it on the left-hand side. This is not a problem as long as I use a single window: textmate opens it up in the same location as when I last closed it. But if I open up another window (with a drawer), it is always opened with the drawer on the right hand side. It's really annoying, because (as far as I can tell) the only way to switch drawer sides is to move the window to the right screen edge and then toggle it off and back on again. This wastes quite a lot of time. Is there a way to force left side drawers? Steven Wittens

Re: [TxMt] regex question

Thanks for the tip about processing the entire document in one go. I ended up with the following: #!/usr/bin/perl local $/; # put Perl in "slurp" mode $text = <>; # read in the whole file $text =~ s/(\s+)$//mg; $text =~ s/((INT.|EXT.|I\/E.|int.|ext.|i\/e.)\s.*)$/\*\*\*$1/mg; $text =~ s/^([A-Z].*[A-Z \)])\n^($.*$)$\n(.+)$/\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t\t $2\n\t\t$3\n/mg; $text =~ s/^[A-Z]{2,}.*[A-Z\)\d]$\n^(.*)$/\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t$2\n/; $text =~ s/^\*\*\*//mg; $text =~ s/^(.*(IN:|UP:|TO:))$/\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$1\n/; $text =~ s/^(\w+.*(\.|\?|\!|\"|\-))$\n^\w+.*(\.|\?|\!|\"|\-)$/\n$1/mg; print $text; ...but it doesn't work at all. I'm guessing that it's something obvious that I can't see, but in case it's not an explanation of what I'm trying to do follows. 1. removes trailing whitespace at the end of a string (which is common in the format I'm importing from. 2. appends three *'s to the beginning of what I'll call well-formed sluglines so that step 4 doesn't apply to these are well. 3. finds a specific set of lines, a Character followed by Parenthetical, followed by Dialoge. And formats it. 4. finds Character followed by Dialogue when there is no Parenthetical, and formats it. 5. repairs the sluglines that were changed in step 2. 6. formats transitions. 7. formats regular paragraphs (this is a little funky, but it's my fault). I can do all these in the Find&Replace window, but I get nothing when running this bundle command. You can find a sample document to test the script on here: http:// ollieman.net/files/bundles/braveheart-sample-unformatted.txt And you can find what the result should look like here: http:// ollieman.net/files/bundles/braveheart-sample-formatted.txt Thanks again for all the help. This will allow we to switch full-time from Final Draft to TextMate. Something I'm really looking forward to.

Re: RFC: Command Output Options (was: Combining snippets and commands?)

by Benjamin Jackson

> this would not allow for commands that take the whole document as > input and the current selection as output, and autocompletion > thingies wouldn't work _that_ good, so considering this I'm on +1 for > allan's proposal. I think some minor changes to the wording of Allan's solution might make it more readable. What about: Output: [ Discard ] [ Text ] and [ pop-up ] [ Snippet ] and [ pop-up ] [ HTML ] [ Tool Tip ] [ New Document ] And then the pop-up showing for the Text and Snippet output options have the folowing options: and [ Replace Input ] [ Replace Selection ] [ Replace Document ] [ Insert After Caret ] This version uses more [action verbs][1], which makes it read more logically. > by the way, I'd like an option to show the output as a popup menu (or > something like that): this would perfectly suit autocompletion. think > about it, al. I'll second that. Nice ideas, Allan!

Pdfsync or tiger ability ?

by Alain Matthes

hello:) TeXShop can provide synchronization in two ways. "pdfsearch" : The default method uses a new ability in Mac OSX 10.4 to search for strings in pdf files. No special style files need be included to use this method. "pdfsync" is the original method but needs to add the following line to the preamble of your tex source code before the \begin{document} line: \usepackage{pdfsync}. Is it to possible to use in the future, the first method "pdfsearch" with Textmate Thanks Alain

arrowShortcuts.rb / TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT

by Alain Matthes

hello:) I've some difficulties with the macro "Convert ASCII Symbol to LaTeX",. arrowShortcuts.rb is there : /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/ bin/arrowShortcuts.rb and in the macro we have : command = "\"$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/bin/ arrowShortcuts.rb\""; or Show TM_* Variables give : TM_BUNDLE_PATH=/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ TextMate.tmbundle TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT=/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ TextMate.tmbundle/Support so i think that the script is not found ! the script is fine because i put the code in a command and the command works very well But i've a question TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT is unique or this variable depends on Bundle ? how do I have to make so that works? Thanks Alain

F1 Code Folding -- How?

by Sean Schertell

Hi guys, The sexy and helpful textmate manual says I can fold/unfold code blocks using my F1 key. But I can't get it to work. What needs to be selected? Where should my caret be placed? Do I have to utter some secret magical phrase while clicking F1? Thanks, Sean :::: DataFly.Net :::: Complete Web Services http://www.datafly.net

Re: [TxMt] regex question

by Oliver Taylor

So, to restate my question in a more clear way... (thanks for your patience Haris) I know nothing about programming... I'm trying to run a perl search/replace command via a 'bundle command'. I've entered the following into the 'Edit Command' box: perl -pe ' s/^([A-Z]+.*[A-Z]*\s*)\n($.+$)\n(.+)$/\n\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t\t$2\n\n $3/g; ' I've set the input to 'Entire Document' and the output to 'Create New Document'. But when I run the command none of the tabs or newlines I've specified in the replace section of the command are applied to the text in question. I've also tried the command with the 'e' option at the end which, as far as I can tell, is supposed to evaluate the right side of the search/replace command as regex... but it's not working. Any help is appreciated. Just so you know, I'm trying to write a set of commands that will transform the plai-text output from Final Draft when exporting a screenplay. If I can get this working then I can bring all my scripts over to TextMate. As an example, this: ----------------- OLIVER (I want to tell you) I've got things to say. Dr. Robert ----------------- should look like this: --------------------------- OLIVER (I want to tell you) I've got things to say. Dr. Robert ---------------------------

Moving focus to project drawer

by Trevor Harmon

The Go To File command doesn't show files in the same easy-to-read hierarchy as the project drawer. This is especially evident when a project contains many files that have been carefully arranged into custom groups. In this situation, the flat list of the Go To File dialog isn't as easy to navigate as the project drawer. This is why I like to select files directly from the drawer instead of with Go To File. With mouse navigation, this works fine; I can simply point and click. But I prefer to use the keyboard as much as possible, and there doesn't seem to be any way to move the keyboard focus to the project drawer (unless of course I use the mouse, but that defeats the whole point of keyboard navigation). Is there some hidden key combo not mentioned in the manual that will do this? Thanks, Trevor
