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. …
[View More]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 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 …
[View More]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.

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 …
[View More]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!

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 (…
[View More]and if so, what was the reason?) or was this an oversight?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how one might use
Textmate to interface with Matlab? I can have a command execute a given
.m file, but Matlab is a much heavier process to load than perl is from
the command line, so that becomes a very unattractive option.
Ideally I'd like to have Matlab running in a terminal (the java
interface is just too slow for me), and edit with Textmate in such a
way that commands could reach the already loaded session.
cheers,
-don

I just discovered TextMate I am liking it a lot. I will mainly be
using it for LaTeX and I have it working nicely with TeXShop as my
previewer. With that said, I am writing a large textbook in which I
have created new definitions for \subsection and \subsubsection,
which are called \Subsection and \Subsubsection, respectively.
Unfortunately, the function pop-up menu does not show these as they
begin with a capital "s" rather than a lower-case "s". I have looked
in the symbol list …
[View More]for the LaTeX bundle and I see:
/* preferences */
{ showInSymbolList = 1;
symbolTransformation = '
s/(?<=\\|sub)sub/ /g; # replace all leading "sub" with
an em-space
s/^\\( *)section(?:\[[^]]*\])?\{(.+)\}/$1$2/; # then strip all
but em-space + name
';
}
I must confess that I don't know enough of what appears to be regular
expression syntax to make the bundle recognize my commands. Can
someone tell me what I need to change in the above definition to get
the behavior I desire?
Thank you,

I often hear in this list how Command-/ comments/uncomments the
selection with the appropriate commenting characters, however,
anytime I use it it _always_ uses C-style comments (/*...*/).
I have an up to date /Library/Application Support/TextMate checked
out from Subversion and I've poked at ~/Library/Application Support/
TextMate and couldn't find anything there that would create this
behavior.
Is there anything I need to do to enable this smart comments. And if
not, how can I …
[View More]debug this?
Thanks,
-Oscar

Apologies in advance if the answer to my query is blindingly
obvious---I am a UNIX newbie.
I am trying to implement Fletcher Penney's variant of Markdown,
MultiMarkdown (http://fletcher.freeshell.org/wiki/MultiMarkdown), as
a TextMate bundle. The basic idea is to convert a Markdown document
into a full xhtml document and then to use xslt to convert it into
different formats such as LaTeX.
I have written TextMate commands for each step of the process, and it
all works fine, but I …
[View More]would also like to add commands that string
these steps together. But there is a problem. For example, while the
following two TextMate commands work:
Save: Nothing
Command(s): #!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/MultiMarkdown.pl "$TM_FILEPATH"
Input: None
Output: Create New Document
Save: Nothing
Command(s): #!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/xsltproc -nonet -novalid /usr/local/bin/xhtml2article.xslt
"$TM_FILEPATH"
Input: None
Output: Create New Document
the following fails---it generates an empty file:
Save: Nothing
Command(s): #!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/MultiMarkdown.pl "$TM_FILEPATH" | /usr/bin/xsltproc -
nonet -novalid /usr/local/bin/xhtml2article.xslt
Input: None
Output: Create New Document
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
All the best, Mark

Here's a strange thing. I'm using ProFont, unaliased, and the tool tips
look weird. Attached is a screen capture showing the same output as
normal window text and tool tip text. Notice spacing issues and some
characters running together ("fi" of file), neither of which are a
problem under monaco.
I understand this probably because ProFont is just a somewhat roughly
built font, but weird and relevant enough I should share.
