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?

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

reverting to default bundles

by dc

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).

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?

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.

strange TextMate typo

by Christoph Biela

Hello everybody, I just wanted to share this experience, to find out if someone else can report this TextMate behaviour. In a LateX-document I want to write the following \emph{delay} what comes out 90% of the time is something like this: \emph{ldeay}. At first I thought I just cannot control what my fingers are doing, but having tried out \emph{de} while watching on my fingers (getting \emph{ed}) I thought it might be something related to TextMate or my setup. This is what I type: cmd-i, d,e This is what I use: pbook 12" 1GHz Mac OS X 10.4.8 TextMate Version 1.5.4 (1349) Can someone report similar behaviour? Can someone help?

macfuse, sshfs, timestamp 0

by Kevin Dangoor

(I just joined this list, so I can't properly reply to the original message)... In the earlier thread about MacFUSE and sshfs, Michael Reece mentioned that his files get written with a "Dec 31 1969" modification time. I've seen the same problem. I've only seen this problem when using sshfs with TextMate. If I touch the file outside of TM, the timestamp is updated properly. sshfs works fantastic with TextMate otherwise, so I hope there's a solution to this. Kevin

Shift Right strips whitespace...

by Gerd Knops

Hi, It's been bugging me for a while: "Shift Right" will leave all lines consisting only of whitespace completely blank, even removing existing whitespace. That really bugged me, so I tried to write my own "Shift Right" command to replace the built-in one. But it seems that the lines my code gets are already stripped of 'trailing whitespace'. Any idea how I can tell TM to leave my whitespace alone? Thanks Gerd

Freeze Issue when Piping

by Dave Grijalva

I'm working on an action to allow me to quickly open a url in textmate: res=$(CocoaDialog inputbox --title "Open URL" \ --informative-text "URL:" \ --button1 "Okay" --button2 "Cancel") [[ $(head -n1 <<<"$res") == "2" ]] && exit_discard res=$(tail -n1 <<<"$res") /usr/bin/env ruby -e "require 'net/http';require 'uri';Net::HTTP.get_print URI.parse('$res')" | mate Basically, I'm using ruby to grab the page and output the content to stdout, then piping that to TextMate. If i call this from the command line, it works perfectly. problem is, if i call this as an command from within textmate, it completely freezed the app. The page does open, but tm becomes completely unresponsive and I have to quit and restart. any ideas what I'm doing wrong? thanks -dave

Compare text files based on words not lines

by Christoph Prion

Hello all I am new to Textmate and this list but so far really impressed by the program and the people posting here. My background is in molecular biology and I will mostly use TM for text (MultiMarkdown is appealing to me) not so much code. Although I am slowly making my way through the manual I have not found anything that would allow me to compare two textfiles and highlight changes between them. "Diff" is not what I am loooking for because it is based on lines. Writing manuscripts I don't use carriage returns so a single difference in a paragraph will highlight the whole thing not just the difference only. FileMerge (in the Apple developer tools) is much closer and also visually intuitive, but getting long in the teeth and having difficulties with UTF-8. Is there a Textmate bundle that will do this kind of comparison for me? My sincere apologies if this question has been answered already, Christoph

Working with CVS in TextMate

by Neil Lee

My workplace has standardized (a long time ago) on CVS for version control. I'm used to using Subverison with svnX and a bit of command line tomfoolery and haven't used CVS very much. After much searching and demoing of applications I have come to the conclusion that all of the graphical CVS clients for OS X out there either a) are ancient, or b) are written in Java and are slow and resource-hungry. I've noticed that TextMate has CVS support, so I'm wondering if anyone here has any tips on using the CVS plugin?

Ruby "Run" command suddenly broken?

by Paul Starr

In Ruby mode, I'd been using cmd-R to run my trivial little scripts, but recently I came back to them and cmd-R no longer works. It simply pops up an HTML window that displays the shell error message, '/usr/local/bin/ruby: no such file or directory.' Running scripts directly from Terminal still works, and my Ruby is in fact in /usr/ local/bin, so I'm basically stumped. What did I unwittingly change? Thanks, --p.

Shortcut keys don't work any more

Textmate Latex insert completion problem

by Nathan Paxton

Thanks. You're a tad over my head here, but I looked in the application contents and a couple of files that might be what you're speaking of, but I don't really have Ruby knowledge. I'm just using textmate to do work in Tex and R, mostly. Anyway, in Contents/ShardSupport/Support/bin, there's a file called LatexLabelCompletion.rb. Perhaps this is it? My TeX install is at /us/local/gwTeX/bin/power-pc-current/. It's a fairly standard installation, in that I haven't made any modifications to the MacTeX installation, so it's pretty as-is. -Nathan >I believe that the ruby script that fetches the path to your LaTeX tools is: $TM_SUPPORT_PATH/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb If you look at this script, it has a function for fetching the location of the LaTeX binaries called `tex_path`, which tries several different ways of getting >to your TeX install, and should usually work. I'm not sure why you'd be getting >this error, as the script should only try to use kpswitch once it has found it in the `tex_path` function. That is, the `tex_path` function explicitly tests for the availability of kpswitch, so if it's not there, it shouldn't be getting used later on. >Maybe you can share some more details about your install. >I can't really offer too much advice, because I have pretty much nothing to do with the TeX bundle.

Irrational folding behavior when syncing a file between two TextMates via .Mac

by John Bergmayer

I keep a bunch of markdown-formatted text files on my iDisk. I use folding extensively in them, like this: Some words{ * Text that is folded. } To the best of my knowledge, curly braces are the only way to fold in Markdown. Sometimes I've been opening a file and seeing that the folding goes from the top brace to some random point *inside* the folded text, instead of to the closing brace or anything that could possibly be construed as a folding marker. I'm pretty sure that this is because when I create the file with one TextMate on my iMac, edit it while away on my Macbook, and then open up the changed file again on my iMac later (all the syncing and such has happened in the meantime), somehow the metadata hasn't come along with it. So when I open the file, I have the data on one but the saved folding info for the old version, still. So the top brace folds to the line number of where the closing brace *used to be*. Now, the way I use my iDisk (and the whole reason why I use it at all instead of Strongspace) is that it keeps a local copy on both my Macbook and my iMac, as well as on Apple's servers. So to TextMate, my iDisk probably looks local, and looks like it supports the extended attributes, but maybe that stuff is lost in transit through the network iDIsk. Either a ._something file is being skipped, or something is causing extended attributes to be lost. Is anyone else familiar with this kind of folding weirdness? Can any one think of a solution besides turning extended attributes off? (For example, if it is indeed that extended attributes are being lost, is there a way to just force TextMate to always use ._something files? Presumably, this would sync fine.) Thanks, j

Blogging Bundle

Textmate Latex insert completion problem

by Nathan Paxton

Hi there all, I'm using TM 1.5.4, OS X 10.4.8 and I am typing up a LaTeX document. When I go to insert a label or reference, I type "\ref{}" and then hit option-esc to bring up the list of labels for refs and figures. I can select one of the items that pops up, but then TM inserts inside the brackets: sh: line 1: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.6.1/kpsewhich: No such file or directory fig:BeliefReX So the figure label is there, but so is an error from the lookup procedure. I know that I don't have this directory because that's not where i-Installer/MacTeX puts an installation anymore. What's causing the error message, and how do I get rid of it? Thanks. -- ---------- Nathan A.

Markdown2Book Generate References

by Gert van Oss

wondering whether I'm misunderstanding the script Generate References from the wonderful Markdown2Book. my problem of building markdown.references while using the scripts that came with this nice tool is maybe best described with the sample I found here: http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2006-February/008160.html In my idea I could just: - download this sample called `manual` - start up a new project - put all files from the folder `manual` in it and start writing and it would create a reference for pages I would add. For example adding a page: 040_my_test would create a markdown.reference if I start referring to this page like [see][myTest] and run the script `Generate`. Or would I need to put: [myTest]: 040_my_test.html in the markdown.reference file myself? If I do it that way it works but I do need to add the `040_` in front? Is this the correct way to do this? Or should the `Generate` script choose the titles of a page as a reference itself. tia, Gert

HTML bundle ? Self Closing (X)HTML Tags

by Matthew Betts

I am having a problem with the HTML bundle. When I use the tag triggers to insert an element with a self closing tag (like <input />) or drag in an image (<img />) it does not put it in the XHTML format, even though the doctype is XHTML strict. In the bundle editor (using the <input> example) it says: <input type="${1:text/submit/hidden/button}" name="${2:some_name}" value="$3"${4: id="${5:$2}"}${TM_XHTML}> Now I assume that this: ${TM_XHTML} is some kind of variable which decides whether to put the XHTML bit it. But it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Path Finder integration

by Brett Terpstra

If anyone's using Path Finder[1], I wrote a quick modification of the "Open in TextMate" applescript that works with it[2]. It allows for selection of an individual file, or creation of projects with multiple files/directories selected.

Column selection question

by Timothy Bates

Hi there, Taking a dummy example string like: KIBRA C/T T/T C/C Questions 1/ Using the keyboard, how do I make a zero-width column selection at the last position for each of the bottom three lines? The manual suggests that holding option-shift while moving (arrow) from the top to the bottom lines should do it, but this doesn't create the right selection for me, and when I push option, the selection is not converted to a zero-width column cursor (nothing happens). 2. Can I type at the end of each line (given that the lines end on different columns)? _______________ ''The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable.''

VIM // {{ and // }} equivalents for Ruby in TextMate

by Mark Cotner

If anybody is used to the // {{ and // }} folding in vim and wants the same in TextMate you can use the following language config to do similar things with Ruby. #begin ten =begin This is inline documentation =end def ten 10 end #end The following will create a fold between #begin and #end as well as add a fold for =begin/=end comments. Add the following two lines to your Ruby language file in the foldingStartMarker section . . . |begin |=begin # line 1 |[#]begin # line 2 |for|while|until and these two to your foldingEndMarker section . . . | ^ \s*+ [}\]] \s*+ ([#].*)? $ | [#] .*? $end$ \s*+ $ # Sune's special marker |^=end$ # line 1 |[#]end$ # line 2 )'; Hope this is helpful.

Smarter Cocoa Completion Command

by Joachim Mårtensson

Hello everybody. I added some functionality to my cocoa-completion command. It will now show context based completion suggestions when the type of the reciever can be deduced. If it can not find a method based on class, then it will revert back to the old behaviour giving you all possible candidates. The command currently only gives context sensitive information for AppKit and Foundation. Here are the two cases that give context-sensitive suggestions: (^ is the caret) hit alt-Esc as usual. [NSString someClassMethod^] [[object pathWithComponents:myArray] instanceAndClassMethodsThatWorksOnAString^] Due to a bug (that crashes TextMate) that I have not managed to track down I have restricted the functionality, so that one always have to type atleast one char before completions are available. The command uses methods from rubycocoa (http://rubycocoa.sourceforge.net/), so be certain to have that installed and that it can be reached from the standard ruby interpreter (or change the she-bang line in the command). If you like this version of the completion command, then please tell me and I will switch the one in svn to this. Joachim Mårtensson

textmate can't find ruby.

by aaron smith

I have recently switched to a mac. And I tried re-installing ruby from the default 1.8.2. To 1.8.4. I followed the install instructions from http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger. Everything from those instructions seems to install fine. But now textmate doesn't know where ruby is.. it's weird.. if I run ruby from the command line or irb it works fine.. But textmate compains about not finding it. (when using the Subversion bundle). Textmate says it's searching all these different directories (one happens to actally have ruby in it). but Textmat still can';t find it.. on other thing I noticed.. is that if i do a >>whereis ruby<< it doesnt show anything.. I'm thinking that's the problem but how do I fix it.. any ideas? thanks all.

CTags bundle problem

by Brendan Dixon

I've recently installed the CTags bundle and can't get it work correctly. I first installed the bundle, downloaded, built, and installed Exuberant CTags (into /usr/local/bin). When I ask the bundle to update all tags, I get a "ctags timed out" message and it fails to find any tags (i.e., look up of a tag fails). Any suggestions?

Compare text files based on words, not lines?

by Christoph Prion

Hello all I am new to Textmate and this list but so far really impressed by the program and the people posting here. My background is in molecular biology and I will mostly use TM for text (MultiMarkdown is appealing to me) not so much code. Although I am slowly making my way through the manual I have not found anything that would allow me to compare two textfiles and highlight changes between them. "Diff" is not what I am loooking for because it is based on lines. Writing manuscripts I don't use carriage returns so a single difference in a paragraph will highlight the whole thing not just the difference only. FileMerge (in the Apple developer tools) is much closer and also visually intuitive, but getting long in the teeth and having difficulties with UTF-8. Is there a Textmate bundle that will do this kind of comparison for me? My sincere apologies if this question has been answered already, Christoph

Emacs kill-sentence

by Sam Halliday

Hi all, I've only recently started to use TextMate, and I'm doing what you all did in your first week... implementing the Emacs commands I can't live without :-) I noticed that there is no Emacs kill-sentence support, so I implemented it:- http://fommil.me.uk/Emacs%20Sentence.zip Including the commands to cut from the cursor to the end of the current sentence, and navigate back/forward sentences. Emacs defines a sentence (with one space after the fullstop) as [.?!][]\"')]*\$$\\|\t\\| \$[ \t\n]* but I edited that to use extended regexes and count colons. Emacs also cheats and uses a bunch of other special tests for paragraphs without a fullstop etc, so I included that too [.?!:;][\]"')]*\s+?|$\s*?$|\Z which is unfortunately hard-coded into all the macros as I didn't know how to create a bundle-wide constant. There is a little bug which means if you navigate back on the first sentence in the first line of a file, you will be off by one. This is such a small bug that I can't be bothered to fix it, although I'm open to suggestions for fixes. I bound navigation to alt-left/right (as I use ctrl-left/right for word navigation) and kill-sentence as alt-k (same as Emacs). shift- alt-right will work as expected, but I do not know what to do about shift-alt-left; I'd like to hear any hints on how to get that to work. cheers, Sam -- http://fommil.me.uk

Re: [TxMt] Re: Bulletin Board like editing

by Zeitler Andreas

Yes! Thats it...but what about the other Tags? Like Code, Quote, Img and so on? I think you really should add this feature to your bundle! I like the thing that the Bundle takes the text for the URL from the pasteboard! Good Job. > BTW, you better follow Jacobs' advice about "Edit in TextMate" than > "paste the text back". I know that i can do it this way, but as i mentioned earlier i'm working as a writer for a board so i have to write some quite big posts BEFORE i upload them. You know i have to do some research and so on. I already know that Edit in TextMate is a really good feature - believe me. But sometimes i have to write in TextMate, save it on harddisk and then just paste it back in the browser. Writing these Posts with TextMate is just more fun, than this little stupid editor which comes with the Browser Software like vBulletin and phpBB.
