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.

Just a quick update: I finally got around to updating the reftex-
style citation completion command. The command should now work with
the recent updates to the latex bundle, and has been added to the
repository as Build Citation.

Hi,
is there a possibility to change or turn of the smart quote function
of textmate?
Since I need to write some german TeXt i would like to have the
„German Anführungszeichen“ instead of “English quotes”.
Having a mac gives me the great advantage of typing those quotes but
TextMate does to much here and generates „“” which
is a bit annoying.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

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!
Alastair
Is discontiguous text selection possible with TextMate?
On a somewhat related note (this is a long shot...), does anyone have
any idea what the -[OakTextView setMarkedText:selectedRange:] method
is supposed to do? I can't seem to have it make any effect on my
OakTextView...

Hi
You're a thief! ;)
OK I did what you said and made some improvements to the Bundle. I
like to share what i did with others! Maybe you want to implant it in
the Bundle.
But in the meanwhile i have some problems here:
1. There are to main Forum Softwares out there which the people (and
me) use most. The one is vBulletin and the other is phpBB. These two
have slight differents in their way reacting to BBCode. For example
Lists and Links.
vBulletin writes a link like this:
[URL=http://www.examplesite.com]Please visit this great Page![/URL]
phpBB writes:
[URL="http://www.examplesite.com"]Please visit this great Page![/URL]
(with quoation marks for the URL)
How do i get rid of this problem? Or do i have to expand the Bulletin
Board Language for this to work?
2. This one is quite easy i hope ;) How do i make a submenu from
quite similar items? Like all the List items i want to appear in the
List submenu and so on.
Thanks for your help!

Fellow textmaters,
I have been playing with the blogging bundle now for quite some time
and would love to see the following additions:
(I currently am at SVN revision 6430, my blogs are running Wordpress)
1. As I am writing un multiple blogs, I would really appreciate if
e.g. the category tab trigger would read my current post to see if
there is already a selection of blogs instead of asking me which blog
to post to, at the very least use a popup instead of the dialog (as
is done with the blog tab trigger)
2. Same goes for selecting categories… would there be a way to cache
the list of categories, maybe?
3. Is there a way to post drafts? Or, if not, is it possible to post
at future dates, so I can prepare and upload my next few posts
without needing to do copy/paste?
4. Is the common "linking" code progressing? e.g. if you insert a
link to a recent blog post (btw a great addition!) it inserts a HTML
link, but I am writing in markdown – so it is quite a pain in my eyes
to see the full clutter of <a> tags…
5. I very much love the "insert google lucky hit" functionality!
6. Image upload is soo cool!
Thanks again to all who are contributing to all those cool bundles!

When I typeset and view a LaTeX file I get this message:
The document file://localhost/RegionalEE.pdf couldn't be loaded
The LaTeX comes from a working copy of an SVN repo and consist of
multiple .tex files with a master document.
The error comes with PDFView and the standard viewer. But PDFView
eventually opens the correct file anyway.
I think it is related to the TM_LATEX_MASTER setting. But was is wrong with
TM_LATEX_MASTER=RegionalEE.tex
I just hope it doesn't have to include a hard coded directory.

Hi There.
Can anyone help me with the Blogging Bundle for Nucleus? I can’t get
it to work. I’m using:
“http://....@www../nucleus/xmlrpc/api_metaweblog.inc.php#2″
and "...server.php#2"
for the setup.
But nothing’s happening.
Thanks in advance.

If you're writing a bundle that needs its own nibs, but needs another
bundle's libraries, is there a way to determine if and where those
libraries are stored on the users system? A series of fallbacks,
perhaps?
I figured out how to do a fuzzy search using stemming, but had to
create a small bundle to pull it off. It depends, however, on the
endpoint functions in the blogging bundle, so at this point I have
blogging bundle's lib directory copied into the Autotag bundle. Is
this unacceptable?
Thanks,
Brett
hi there,
sorry if this question was asked before, but i am new to the list
and did not found something like that in the archive.
i would love to have highlightPairs for ruby in such a way that:
{ highlightPairs = (
( 'def', 'end' ),
( 'def', 'return' ),
( 'class', 'end' ),
( 'begin', 'end' ),
( 'if', 'end' ),
( 'if', 'else' ),
( 'else', 'end' ),
);
}
would render a result. but as the documentation states the
mechanism of highlightPairs is restricted to 'characters'.
now obviously we do not have (use) braces and such for blocks
in ruby.
my question is: how can i implement a mechanism which tells
me my current scope.

p.s.: if this question is complete bogus please just
let me know by replying a 'rtfm'
