January 2007 - TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Garance A Drosehn

Hi. I'm new to textmate (although I did at least buy a license for it), and have one of those questions that probably comes up a lot. In my defense, I did first skim through the beta-book from Pragmatic Programmers on "Power Editting" with TextMate, and I did try a number of searches on both the wiki and some of the mailing lists archives. I haven't found any mention of what I wanted to find, but maybe I just wasn't picking the right search terms. So, apologies if this is one of those hot-button topics which people are tired of hearing of... In any case, what I want to have is a combination of hard tabs and soft tabs, and I can't see how to get what I want out of TextMate. What I want is my tab-intent to be a soft-tab (using blanks) at 4 spaces, but I also want hard-tabs (using the actual tab character) to be used for 8 spaces. So, if I tab once I want four spaces, if I tab twice then I want a single tab character, and with three tabs I want a tab-character followed by four spaces. I can get this behavior out of XCode, and it would be very very useful to me if I could get the same behavior out of TextMate. In XCode, I get this behavior via the "Indentation" preferences, by turning on "Tab key inserts tab, not spaces", and setting tab width=8 and indent width=4. Apologies if I'm missing some obvious setting in TextMate. Thanks for any suggestions. Other than this one oddity, TextMate looks like it could be very useful and productive for me -- once I can master all that it can do! :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosihn(a)gmail.com Senior Systems Programmer Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA

Highlighting all matches in a search

by Ernest

Is there a way to search within a single file and have all matches be highlighted? Or as an alternative, have the results show in a window like the search-in-project feature does? Thanks, Ernest -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Highlighting-all-matches-in-a-search-tf3145124.html#a… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Latex bundle: problem with label completion

by Piero D'Ancona

I am using extensively the new label completion macro which is really very good and fast. I have a problem though: all my equation labels have the form \label{eq:labelname} and the macro chokes on them. If I type labelname then invoke the opt-esc shortcut and chose 1 i.e. "label based on current word", I get \\${1:eqref}{eq:labelname} Clearly the colon is the problem. Any workaround, apart from changing my label style (which is one of the standard ones, however, used e.g. by Auctex)? Thanks, Piero

Build Citation Error

by Mark Eli Kalderon

Just updated the LaTeX bundle (revision 6490) and I am getting the following error when I use the Build Citation command after choosing a citation command (such as `\cite{}`, say) from the list: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 69:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileparse_bibfile' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 194:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of filecall' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 163:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 162:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_pair' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 161:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_pair' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 154:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_with_index' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 153:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_with_index' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 153:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of filecite_scan' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 23:in All the best, Mark

reverting to default bundles

by dc

i've managed to screw up some of the default text-mate bundles. is there an easy way to revert to the default shipping items? the blog implies that diffs from the defaults are kept in a specific place, and removing these would revert. but that didnt seem to be the case for me... tx, /dc ------------------------------------------- David "DC" Collier mailto:dc@pikkle.com +81 (0)80 6521 9559 skype: callto://d3ntaku ------------------------------------------- Pikkle 株式会社 http://www.pikkle.com -------------------------------------------

how does text mate find ruby...?

by dc

i had to remove the OS-X included broken version of Ruby, and now get this error message when using certain commands like comment out block in textmate : env: ruby: No such file or directory so i assume TM is piping the text thru a ruby script to do these operations. so, how do i tell textmate where to look for Ruby? all systems are go in the shell :: dc@bb > which ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby dc@bb > ruby --version ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i686-darwin8.6.2] for now i did a hack to symlink from the apple default location ( usr/bin ) to where i have ruby185 installed, but this doesnt seem optimal: dc@bb /usr/bin > sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby ruby I do have a .bash_login which textmate -should- source to create a shell environment before any scripts are run? >> Instead TextMate runs a custom script (named bash_init.sh located in $TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib) before executing the actual shell command(s). This custom script contains the following code: << thanks for any tips. /dc ------------------------------------------- David "DC" Collier mailto:dc@pikkle.com +81 (0)80 6521 9559 skype: callto://d3ntaku ------------------------------------------- Pikkle 株式会社 http://www.pikkle.com -------------------------------------------

Blogging Bundle: Tagging Commands (UTW)

by Brett Terpstra

I have released a combination of TextMate commands and a Wordpress plugin for Wordpress 2.1 that allows for better handling of tags when blogging from TextMate. [1] The plugin, UTW-RPC, overrides a few functions in the xmlrpc.php file, implementing Robin Lu’s hack[2] for Ecto and Ultimate Tag Warrior. This automatically will make the Keywords header function with TextMate and allow the Keywords: field to insert and display Ultimate Tag Warrior tags from posts. (It will also provide the same functionality for all other blogging clients that recognize the mt_keywords header). The plugin also adds a hook, metaweblog.getTags, that the TextMate commands use to retrieve the tags from your blog and provide various functions with. The commands are rudimentary at this point and are provided as proof of concept. I could use some serious help with implementing a fuzzy search on the autotag command. Thanks, Brett [1]http://blog.circlesixdesign.com/2007/01/26/utw-rpc-10/ [2]http://www.robinlu.com/blog/archives/57

named bookmarks in project/global context ?

by A J

hi, I am wondering if anyone has developed something to support named bookmarks, e.g. within a project context. I found Haris' blog post on a way to support global bookmarking: < http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/afterthought/2006/06/09/global-textmate-bookma… > Thanks-- that is a useful start! The HTML/link interface works well. I was thinking of messing with it further to support naming the bookmarks that are written to the file, and maybe associating them with a project name. (However, since I've not used Ruby and am SUPPOSED to be writing a paper at the moment it might be a while until I get to it.) Has anyone else done something like this already? Apologies if I missed it, nothing was obvious in the bundle list etc. -Amy

Mercurial (was: Working with CVS in TextMate)

One of its advantage over CVS or svn is that it is a distributed system, that means you can work and commit locally before pushing to the remote repository. It's easier to use locally too, as the repository and the working copy are in the same place, you can have everything in one folder. After installing Mercurial and the bundle, open a folder in TM, hit ctrl + shift + M and choose "init" then "AddRemove" to add all the files (eventually create a .hgignore file before to exclude some files) then "commit" and BOOM ;), your folder is under revision control. I made the Mercurial bundle as it is now. I plan to work more on it when I have the time, but I think it's already really usable now. Please, give me feedback if you use it. I plan to make a tutorial/screencast about it one day too. -- FredB

Macro/command for LaTeX wordcounts

by Colin Hahn

I'm trying to write a macro or command (not sure which will be better) for doing a word count on LaTeX documents. The basic task is simple enough: I want to run the command "ps2ascii [file.pdf] | wc" on file.tex (where file.tex is the current file I'm working on) (I've tested ps2ascii and it works fine for the types of documents I'll be writing). However, I also want to strip the footnotes from my word count. To do so, I've defined the footnotes with a custom command that I can redefine as empty: \newcommand{\fn}[1]{\footnote{#1}} % \renewcommand{\fn}[1]{} So, the whole task I need to do is: 1) Uncomment the \renewcommand line 2) Re-run LaTex 3) Run ps2ascii | wc on the generated .pdf 4) Display the output of that command as a ToolTip 5) Re-comment the \renewcommand line (so the file is back in its original state) Unfortunately, I don't know how to string these things together, nor how to get the argument for the ps2ascii command from the current filename variable TM_FILENAME (i.e., how to substitute .pdf for .tex). I can add unique comments to the end of the \renewcommand line so it can be picked out by a regex search, if that helps. Suggestions? I'm also open to other ideas for getting the same end result, if there's an easier way.

Copy and Duplicate word snippet

by Helmut Granda

Hello all, I am trying to find information in regards of how to copy and paste text in a new line, for example: before snippet: myText after snippet: myText theText = myText currently I am able to create a snippet that will copy the selected word and create a new line like this: theText = $TM_SELECTED_TEXT but of course this replaces the selected text so I did the following $TM_SELECTED_TEXT theText = $TM_SELECTED_TEXT and this works great if there is only one line of text but lets say I need to select a certain word in the middle of a pharragraph then i get the following before snippet: first word theText second word after snippet: first word theText theText = theText second word as you can tell the snippet inserts the comman din the middle of the sentence, is there a way to avoid that? TIA Helmut

Interprocess communication with TextMate -- selecting text in frontmost window

by Todd Ditchendorf

Can anyone advise on how best to do interprocess communication with TextMate: I'd like to be able to write a script (or whatever) that will tell TextMate to select a particular line in the front most document. AppleScript would be the perfect fit here, but I get the feeling this isn't possible with TextMate's current scriptability. Am I wrong? Any other ideas on how to achieve this effect?

Would it be possible to set it up so that two returns mark the end of a section to be folded? I ask be cause I'm in the habit of using two returns anyway to visually signal the end of a heading and if it were possible to set this up via the Bundle editor, my life would be good. Example: # Heading Some text here. * Maybe a list. More text here. # Another Heading.
