Hello there, I've found a bug while I was thinking about requesting a feature. So what's the bug? Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure you have a pair of curly brackets in a file 2. Make sure only one of them is visible and the other is hidden (ie you've scrolled so much down the document that the starting bracket is not visible) 3. Position your cursor before the curly bracket and then move the cursor after the bracket. You will see how the whole editing area flashes While I'm at this may I ask if it's possible to highlight the matching bracket if your cursor is either before/after a curly bracket because currently I have to go back then forwards to see the matching bracket. I've also attached a testcase file which you can use to check if you can reproduce this bug. Regards, Milen PS. This also happens in Xcode.

Odd double-clicking on whitespace behavior - also selects tags

by Brian Tully

First thanks to everyone who replied to my previous question. I'm noticing a very odd behavior when I try to delete whitespace between two tags. Most (if not all) other text editors will select just the whitespace when I double-click on the whitespace area. However TextMate likes to also select the closing/opening bracket/ braces - which of course I don't want to delete. So if I wanted to delete the space between <p>Hello </p> I can't double-click on the whitespace between "Hello" and "</p>" without TextMate also selecting the "</" in the closing "</p>" tag. Another example is if I have a closing brace "}" that is indented too much and I want to line it up with its opening brace, I can no longer double-click on the whitespace to the left of the brace without the brace also being selected. In fact I wasted 15 minutes or so trying to figure out how I broke a PHP script before it dawned on me that when I deleted the whitespace I also deleted a brace. Is there any preference or setting that changes this odd behavior? I'm assuming TextMate does this for a reason, but I'm scratching my head as to how this editing mode would be useful. thanks in advance! brian

Mild Project drawer prettification via Nib Hacks!

by thomas Aylott

enjoy Nib Hacking! Just a minor change, but it makes it feel like youre using version 1.9 or something. you'll never guess where to get the hacked nibs ;) It uses the background color of the mail.app left column inner-tab thing. textmate_project_original.png (click to see larger) textmate_project_modified.png (click to see larger) thomas Aylott—subtleGradient

modifying Wrap Selection as Link

by Joe Maller

When invoked without a selection, the HTML Wrap Selection as Link snippet doesn't select the placeholder display text. Adding a second tab stop to the command could select the placeholder display text but would add an extra tab for those accustomed to using the snippet with a selection. Two questions: 1. is this a worthwhile change (or am I just looking for problems where none really exist)? 2. Is there a way to make the second tab-stop conditional on whether any text was selected? Possible modification (added tab stop to the last line): <a href="${1:` # if the clipboard contains a single line, let’s use that if [[ $(pbpaste|wc -l) -eq 0 ]] then pbpaste|sed 's/&/&/g' else echo http://site.com/ fi `}">${2:${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:Link text...}}</a> The current last line is: `}">${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:Link text...}</a>

include pdfs in multimarkdown

by Christoph Biela

Hi everyone, I am using markdown to write the texts I write from time to time. Nothing official only internal stuff. In order to have nice printouts I include pictures as pdfs (if there is a better solution please let me know) since this gives me a nice html of my texts (Safari supports pdf as pictures) and the print quality is perfect as well. But I cannot use the command “convert document to pdf” since the Textmate internal html viewer does not support pdfs. So the questions are 1) Is there a better way to implement “printable” pictures? 2) how to workaround the “convert document to pdf” bug? Thanks Christoph ~~~~~ Christoph Biela cbiela(a)gmail.com

ANN: Live Preview Filter for CSS, HTML, Textile, Markdown, Rails Views & Live Diffs

by thomas Aylott

Howdy. Enjoy instant-ish feedback!!!!1! http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/Support/bin/ 42_TextMate_live_preview.rb Put the full path to that file in the Pipe text through box in the Web Preview Window For CSS, it'll ask you to open a file and paste a test-url in there. It completely replaces all links to css files with the css you're previewing, AS YOU TYPE!!!1! For HTML, it inserts a base tag with the TM_PROJECT_SITEURL For Rails Views, it redirects the page to the saved version via your TM_PROJECT_SITEURL. Just try it out, you may hate it ;). For markdown and textile, it renders it as markdown or textile. Never worry about changing your filter script! For all other source files, it does a live diff between the saved and unsaved version. No coloring of anything fancy, but handy (yes, i know all about the diff bundle). For everything else, it does nothing special, yet. I tried t do this a while ago but i couldn't make it work. Turns out that only a few TM specific variables were being set. Allan has since fixed that. Personally, I think this script is really stupid and unnecessary. But extremely handy as a stopgap until we get something that is supposed to replace this. Basically, if we had a way to make ANY command rerun itself or refresh after change, then this filter would be totally unnecessary and we could make each of these things a separate refresh-after- change command. Allan, add it to the list? enjoy Also! If anybody has any improvement suggestions, suggest away! I'm all for it. I only knocked this thing together last night when i should have been sleeping. Most things are not done the best way. Feel free to improve or replace. Enjoy! thomas Aylott—subtleGradient

Bundle items, Unicode & SVN

by thomas Aylott

howdy. As you've all been forced to be aware, i have a subversion repo with all of my personal textmate stuff in it. I love the new way that bundles get textmate specific names. I love how you can get a nice clean version of something by dragging it to the finder. I love being able to use almost any character you can think of in bundle item names. BUT! Using crazy characters in the names can potentially upset subversion. and since my svn server runs on a linux box, it can get even more upset when i try to do a checkout there. SO Can we change the way it makes the actual file system file names to not use crazy characters even though they are in the names of bundle items themselves? I've been doing it manually for now. I could write a script or something to do it, but i'm lazy (aka busy). Personally, i think it should be the default behavior, but it could just as easily be done as a command. Has anyone else had a problem with this? thomas Aylott—subtleGradient

ANN: Nib Hacks of DOOM! Cute Drawer 2 and Drawerlessness

by thomas Aylott

Just look at the pictures. All the hacks are available as zips at http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/Hacked%20Nibs!/ subtleGradient — Hacked TextMate Nibs — cuter drawer 2 more tweaks and all new images for the drawer. subtleGradient — Hacked TextMate Nibs — Mail Style Inner Files Column Following Allan's comment on the mailing list. I tried to see if I could get TextMate functioning without a drawer. AKA, with one of those Mail.app style inner drawer things. Yep, it works. Kindof. There are a lot of problems with this method that i can't fix in interface builder. * The whole scrolling text view is too wide to fit properly so you just can't see the right edge of your document. * There's no shortcut for opening and closing the pane like you can the drawer. * If you close the pane by sizing it to 0px wide you lose the info button. There are probably way more problems with this, but here it is anyway. Have fun. Install the nibs by copying them into /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ Install the tab images by copying them into /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/ You might want to make some backup copies of the originals first. Enjoy! Email all complaints / suggestions / whatever to: subtleGradient.com oblivious, at ^ If this messes up your computer or burns your house down, or kicks your dog, or in any way does anything at all or doesn't... You are solely responsible for anything and everything, and I am not. :P thomas Aylott—subtleGradient
