December 2007 - TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Jim Leask

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... Jim Leask

Quoting Pattern in Latex-Bundle shown as invalid

by Niels Kobschätzki

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 Niels

Sorting in Project Drawer

by Alexander Deruwe

Hey everyone, Recent TextMate convert here and boy do I love it - trial expiring within the week, so will be a paying customer from then on. ;) Have a question, though, with regards to sorting in the Project Drawer. Is it possible to have entries sorted by type, and only then by name? I'd like to keep directories together. (At the top, preferably. ;) I found the following reference (and its references) in the mailing list archives: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-December/001971.html This message seems to imply the sorting is hard-coded.

Feature request: Have Header/Source and Go To File honor directories

by Lars Pind

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. /Lars

JSDoc bundle?

Are there any bundles available to ease writing JSDoc comments for javascript?

Reformat comment command

by Alan Schussman

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. -Alan

[REVIEW] JavaScript

by Daniel Stockman

(forgive my noobishness, I had to re-join the list after a long period of inattention, and cannot respond directly to the original message, from Thomas Aylott) > Those few of you who care, please let me know what I need to do > before I can replace the core bundles with these guys. I was really excited to see activity related to JavaScript in /Review, and I immediately switched my checkouts to track the JavaScript and Prototype bundles in Review. The irony of someone who follows the commit log feed yet had to re-subscribe to the mailing list is exquisite, I know. I've been using them for the past few weeks with few (if any) noticeable problems, using the Prototype bundle as my chosen grammar for *.js. That is, until today, when I decided to go poking about the latest Prototype trunk. The file generated by `rake dist` has _never_ been small, I'll grant, but I don't recall so much chugging and whinging by my 2.2Ghz MacBook, or seconds-long gaps of white syntax colorless-ness when switching tabs (a beachball will occasionally pop up for a few seconds, even). My wild shot-in-the-dark hypothesis is that it might be related to the increased number of `include $base` declarations in the "new" grammar. To reiterate, this only occurs on files like the `rake dist`-generated prototype.js, which itself is over 4,000 lines of syntactically dense, idiomatic (and often beautiful) JS. There seems to be a regression in the regex literal highlighting, as it no longer works when the RegExp literal notation is used as a member of an object with any space separating the key's colon delimiter and the literal itself. The literals are colored fine when it begins on the very first character of the line, or when immediately following a parenthesis. Line 275+ of prototype/trunk/src/selector.js is a perfect example of this regression. I narrowed down the cause of this anomaly to the 'string.regexp.js' key of the Embedded grammar, specifically the `begin` regexp: (?<=[=(:]|^|return)\s*(/)(?![/*+{}?]) The lookbehind seems to be blocking it; when I remove it, the RegExp literals in the object values highlight as intended. This does cause any single `/` to color everything after it as a regexp, but adding an alternate end-of-line anchor ($) to the negative lookahead seemed to fix that. (?![/*+{}?]|$) There is also an oddity with the folding markers, which appears to be related to the block comment syntax. Line 135 of prototype/trunk/src/ ajax.js: 'Accept': 'text/javascript, text/html, application/xml, text/ xml, */*' Again, inside an object literal, but this time the "*/*" seems to make the folding parser think "I need to start a new fold here!", when in fact it is the last member of the object, and should have no folding marker whatsoever. Take away the second * (thus turning it into a block comment closing delimiter), and the folding marker disappears. I was unable to parse the gargantuan folding regexps in the grammar clearly enough to suggest a solution. > The Review Prototype bundle is NOT upgraded for the latest version > of prototype. I'd be willing to pitch in on this effort, if you (or whomever "owns" the bundle) would like. I've done a bit of local hacking on various bundles, and I can certainly provide examples off-list. The Prototype grammar itself could use a little cleaning up, I'm sure. Big thanks to all the bundle contributors for continuing to make TextMate great!

Including values of static variables in others?

by Daryl Spitzer

When defining "static variables" in Preferences->Advanced->Shell Variables, is it possible to include the values of static variables in the values of others? For example, I tried defining: P1 /some/path P2 $P1/subdir But the value of P2 is "$P1/subdir", not "/some/path/subdir" as I wish. -- Daryl Spitzer

Git bundle: sh: line 2: git: command not found /tmp/temp_textmate.j2NZhz:4

Converting dense XML to easy-to-read form?

by Eric O'Brien

I am not *writing* XML files, but I often want to understand one -- either just for education or because I need to modify it. Often the file in question was automatically generated and "ease of reading by humans" was not part of the process. Right now, I trying to pull apart a XML file where a single element contains about 90 attributes. Thankfully, they *do* seem to be ordered alphabetically, but they are all run together in a single line. That is, there are no linefeeds between attributes. Which would be just what I'd like (for readability anyway -- I'm hoping that "white space is white space and it won't matter whether those white-spaces are space characters or line feeds). For this file, using Find and Replace seems to work. (Find <doublequote><space> replace with <doublequote><newline>). I don't know enough about XML to know if it always going to be as easy as that. The XML bundle item "Tidy" actually runs xmllint, but I don't see a way to make that do what I want. Searching Google on "XML pretty print" I came up with a number of hits, but many bits of code were from the year 2000 or so. Does anyone know of any... contemporary solutions? Or have other suggestions/ideas? Thanks! eo

Re: [TxMt] A fix for Move Selection Line Up/Down and suggestions for TextMate

by Sergei Yakovlev

On Dec 26, 2007, at 10:28 PM, Allan Odgaard wrote: On 26 Dec 2007, at 14:28, Сергей Яковлев wrote: [...] Suggestion 1. It would be useful if TextMate had variables like $TM_SELECTION_START and $TM_SELECTION_END which would return the corresponding offsets in the file (or the cursor offset, if nothing is selected). It does in the form of a line/column position of the start position. Maybe I am simply misunderstanding you, but are you saying that TextMate returns line and column position of the start position of selection? I'm asking because the $TM_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER variables don't quite work this way. To illustrate what I mean, let's add a 'Show Position' command that displays position as a tooltip: echo "$TM_LINE_NUMBER:$TM_COLUMN_NUMBER" and type 'TextMate' into an empty document. Now, if we select 'TextMate' with mouse from left to right, the command returns 1:9. If we select 'TextMate' with mouse from right to left, the command returns 1:1. Finally, if we select 'TextMate' by double-clicking between 't' and 'M', the command returns 1:5. So, these variables actually return the cursor position, not the starting position of selection and it is impossible to calculate the starting and ending positions of selection from $TM_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER variables (without knowing how the selection was made). The only way to do this (that is known to me) is to write a macro that first calls a command that replaces selection with itself wrapped in U+FFFC characters: echo -n $'\357\277\274'$TM_SELECTED_TEXT$'\357\277\274' and then calls another command that receives the whole document as an input and can "find" the selection looking for U+FFFC characters. It would certainly be easier for the average user (and somewhat more flexible) if TextMate had something like $TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_COLUMN_NUMBER variables, or, alternatively, slightly changed semantics of $TM_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER variables so that they always return the starting position of selection (no matter how the selection was made). The reason it does not use a byte offset is that internally TM would have to "calculate" this (by adding the length of each line preceding the selection) and I am generally wary of exporting shell variables that need to be calculated and have an unknown running time (i.e. in practice the user could have a million lines and each command execution would then always require a million numbers to be added together). I assumed that these calculations were already being performed, after I had a look at: $ class-dump -C OakTextView TextMate | grep selectedRange - (struct _NSRange)selectedRange; - (void)setMarkedText:(id)fp8 selectedRange:(struct _NSRange)fp12; and saw 'selectedRange'. But, evidently, something much more complicated is going on, and I certainly would not ask you questions about TextMate internal workings :-) The only remaining question is what symbol to use as a mark. I decided to use √ (221A, SQUARE ROOT character, which you can type with Option-V), but I'm not sure this is the best choice. Maybe it's better to use some character from Private Use Area (E000--F8FF)? We generally use U+FFFC, OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER. I've attached a new version of macros using U+FFFC to the original ticket. Happy New Year! -- Sergei Yakovlev

Problem with TextMate's Builder.rb and ActiveSupport on Leopard

I've patched TM's builder.rb to alias to tm_blank_slate_method_added instead, which works. However, this is only a hack to fix this problem, I'm sure there is a better way to address this (e.g. builder.rb checking wether a module 'Builder' already exists, and if not, load tm_builder.rb or something like that). regards, Markus

Spaces instead of Tabs

by Ulai Beekam

When typing the space key in my code in TextMate, how can I let TextMate use a particular number of spaces instead of that tab character? I would like to always use 2 spaces instead of the tab character. Also, how can I auto-format code that already have tabs (or tabs replaced by, say, 4 spaces) to format it the way I want it (say, tabs replaced by 2 spaces)? Microsoft Visual Studio allowed me to do that. Does TextMate provide such facilities? (Guess I could always turn to regular expressions to fix such stuff.) _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Open TM with Project Drawer by default

by n_powell

Hello, I am new to TM, and I have a couple of questions regarding the Project Drawer. I did search google and the mailing list archives but I didn't see an answer to my question. When I am launching TM I would like it to open up with the Project Drawer already present. Also if it could open a directory (like ~/.projects) and all the sub directories that would be great as well. I am guessing there is a way to do this with TM since I can issue `mate ~/.projects` On the command line and that works. I have Quicksilver installed, so I bet I could create a trigger that would do what I want, but I would prefer to just have it work this way by default.

[REVIEW] JavaScript

by Thomas Aylott - subtleGradient

I just added three bundles to Review. JavaScript, MooTools & Prototype The major change is that I moved all the bracketed and whitespace scopes out of "prototype bracketed" into "javascript base". There are now two core Javascript languages. "Javascript" and "Javascript Basic" When opening a Javascript file, you'll want to use "Javascript". When you use a language like HTML, it'll automatically include "javascript basic" as embedded source where necessary. "Javascript basic" is mostly just a modified version of the current Javascript language. It should be pared down a bit more still. The MooTools bundle contains a completely new language syntax. It also includes the classic mootools language by Joe Maller as "MooTools 1.1" It's pretty basic at the moment, but I have plans for upgrading it and adding context sensitive codecompletion. The Review Prototype bundle is NOT upgraded for the latest version of prototype. All it is is a compatibility upgrade to support the new javascript core languages. Those few of you who care, please let me know what I need to do before I can replace the core bundles with these guys. —Thomas Aylott – subtleGradient—

Saving file to hidden directory

by Phil Molyneux

While the File -> Open... dialogue has a button to show hidden files, the File -> Save seems to have no obvious way to save a file to a hidden directory. I was creating an environment.plist file to save in ~/.MacOSX --- my immediate work around was to save the file to the Desktop and use Finder to move the file to .MacOSX --- I have set Finder to show all files using either the defaults command or TinkerTool. A search of the mailing list indicates that Cmd-Shift-G opens a sub dialogue box to the File -> Save dialogue that allows you to type the name of the directory directly but that would seem hard to discover. Is there a preference in Textmate that modifies the File -> Save dialogue to show hidden files ? Phil Molyneux

Taskmate bundle ready for review

by Sven Fuchs

Dear TextMate gods, dear everybody else :) I've been notified that my my Taskmate bundle has been added to the review directory: http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/Taskmate.tmbundle Since the first announcement to this list quite some work has been done on this bundle. We've been able to track down some bugs, added some new features and tweaked everything according to the great feedback of both Michael Sheet and early adopting users. I've put together a list of the changes in the changelog: http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/Taskmate.tmbundle/CH… Even at this early stage I'd like to say thank you to Michael for doing an amazing job as a review gatekeeper and Nigel Green, who attentively tested every single move I made, provided lots of feedback and additional code as well as even a complete help file. Now we are eagerly awaiting to get bashed down by you folks for any glitches and mistakes in order to make this bundle even better :) Thanks! PS: For information about what Taskmate does please refer to the bundled help file or the project page at http://www.artweb-design.de/projects/taskmate -- sven fuchs svenfuchs(a)artweb-design.de artweb design http://www.artweb-design.de grünberger 65 + 49 (0) 30 - 47 98 69 96 (phone) d-10245 berlin + 49 (0) 171 - 35 20 38 4 (mobile)

Ruby 1.9

by Jeff LaMarche

Greetings all. Been using TextMate for quite some time, but never had a problem before now. Allan Odgaard suggested I post this to the list. I installed Ruby 1.9 this morning by doing a source install from the release tarball. I had to manually update the readline library and I also had to change my path so that /usr/local/lib is read before /usr/ lib because of the libreadline.dylib that is contained there. I can run Ruby 1.9 programs from the command line just fine, but if I try to use command-R to run them from inside TextMate, I get: ------------------ BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ scriptmate.rb:4:in `require': /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:40: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' (SyntaxError) when 1: lines.each { |line| block.call(line) } ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/ Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:41: syntax error, unexpected keyword_when, expecting keyword_end when 2: lines.each { |line| block.call(line, name) } ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:47: syntax error, unexpected keyword_elsif, expecting keyword_end elsif sync? ^ /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:49: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' when 1: block.call(data) ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:50: syntax error, unexpected keyword_when, expecting keyword_end when 2: block.call(data, name) ^ / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb: 60: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' when 1: leftovers.each_pair { |name,... ^ /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:61: syntax error, unexpected keyword_when, expecting keyword_end when 2: leftovers.each_pair { |na... ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:67: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting $end from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/scriptmate.rb:4:in `' from /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tmbundle/Support/ RubyMate/run_script.rb:1:in `require' from /Applications/TextMate.app/ Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tmbundle/Support/RubyMate/ run_script.rb:1:in `' ------------------ END ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- I also get errors running a shell script, but not quite the same, and it does then proceed to run the script after dumping the error message, unlike with the Ruby script: ------------------ BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- (erb):29:in `concat': character encodings differ (ArgumentError) from (erb):29:in `html_head' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/erb.rb:743:in `eval' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/erb.rb:743:in `result' from / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ web_preview.rb:116:in `html_head' from -:4:in `' Hello World Program exited with status 0. ------------------ END ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- As I said, I'm still able to run Ruby code from the command line, but it's obviously less convenient, so I was hoping somebody might have an idea what's going on.

PHP docblock folding

by REBELinBLUE

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't seem to be able to fold PHP docblocks when they are like /** * */ even though the top fold arrow is shown (but the bottom isn't) only when they are /** * */ however the code completion features such as doc<tab> and /**<tab> generate the first block Does anyone know how to fix it so that the first type of docblock folds correctly? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PHP-docblock-folding-tp14475232p14475232.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

A fix for Move Selection Line Up/Down and suggestions for TextMate

by Сергей Яковлев

[REPOSTING BECAUSE OF BAD FORMATTING] Hi! A well-known problem with Move Selection Line Up/Down commands (Control-Command-Up/Down) is that if you use them without selection (which means "move current line"), the cursor ends up in the wrong place. This has been bugging me and my friends for quite some time, so I wrote a fix. It's two macros overriding default key equivalents, which you can find attached to the bug description at http://macromates.com/ticket/show?ticket_id=58C52785 . Please tell if this works for you. Also, is it possible to put this fix into some standard TextMate bundle like Text.tmbundle, so that all TextMate users enjoy it? (Until it is fixed in the new engine of TextMate 2.) What is the best way to do it? This is my first experience in TextMate programming, and several times I've been stuck in various dead-ends. What follows is a somewhat long description of how I approached the problem along with some suggestions on making TextMate easier to program. Most people would like to skip this. So, my first (rather silly) attempt was a huge Ruby program which replicated functionality of Move Selection Line Up/Down and depended on my assumption that the cursor is always at the end of selection (potentially allowing me to calculate all the necessary offsets in the file). Well, it turned out that my assumption was simply not true, as the cursor can be anywhere inside the selection, depending on how you've selected the text. Suggestion 1. It would be useful if TextMate had variables like $TM_SELECTION_START and $TM_SELECTION_END which would return the corresponding offsets in the file (or the cursor offset, if nothing is selected). On a second attempt, I decided that I should instead go with the built-in commands, simply correcting the cursor position for the special case when nothing is selected. So we remember current cursor position, call Move Selection Line Up/Down, and move the cursor back to remembered position if nothing is selected. There are two problems here. First, you can only call built-in commands from macros, and it is not possible to remember values through the steps of a macro. Second, there is no direct way to reposition the cursor. One indirect way to achieve this is to insert a snippet with a $0 variable. However, to move the cursor to arbitrary position in this fashion, we need an output option like "Replace Document as Snippet", which is not available. Because of these two problems, I decided to use TMTOOLS plugin, which has "call macro" (for calling arbitrary macros and built-in commands from commands) and "set caretTo" (for setting the cursor position). I got a working solution, but it had a delay of 0.5 to 1 s, which was too slow to be useful. Suggestion 2. Add a way to set "global" environment variables programmatically (from commands). These "global" variables should be available to all subsequently called commands (and other bundle items) until explicitly unset. Suggestion 3. Replace output options "Insert as Text" and "Insert as Snippet" with just one option, "Insert", and add a checkbox "as Snippet" to the right. This would add such useful options as "Replace Selected Text as Snippet", "Replace Document as Snippet" and "Create New Document as Snippet" without making the list of options too long. So, on a third (and final) attempt, I dropped TMTOOLS and returned to the idea of a macro. Inspired by Duane Johnson's solution for multiple insertion points, I decided to use a special symbol (mark) to "remember" the initial position of the cursor. So we insert the mark at the cursor (if nothing is selected), call Move Selection Line Up/Down, and replace the mark with empty string (if nothing is selected), which moves the cursor there as a side-effect. The problem here is that Replace command always replaces current selection with replace buffer, even if it doesn't match the find buffer, which ruins the case when something has already been selected in the beginning. Replace All also ruins current selection, moving the cursor to the beginning of the file even if it has not found any matches. Fortunately, the Find Next/Previous command will only change current selection if the match has been found. So that's what we use. If there is a mark in the text, it will get selected, otherwise, the selection won't change. Finally, the selection is replaced with an empty string if what's selected is a mark. The wrong cursor position after Move Selection Line Up/Down is always further in text than the right position (actually, it's on the next line), so we use Find Previous command to perform the search. Because of this little detail, the solution is actually pretty fast. Suggestion 4. Replace All should not alter current selection if no matches are found. The only remaining question is what symbol to use as a mark. I decided to use √ (221A, SQUARE ROOT character, which you can type with Option-V), but I'm not sure this is the best choice. Maybe it's better to use some character from Private Use Area (E000--F8FF)? Best regards, Sergei Yakovlev

PHPDoc scope syntax coloring?

by Clark Endrizzi

Hi all, I am pretty new to textmate and would like to know if it's possible to change the color of PHPdoc comments from normal comments. I've noticed since using a lot of PHPDoc stuff in my code that it looks more confusing than ever. Being able to change the color would help in making things more readable. I noticed there was a thread in 2006 that discussed this but it did not help me. Also, I tried setting the scope of "comment.documentation" in hopes that it my be the correct scope with no luck (it doesn't seem to match the scope or something because nothing changes even after restarting textmate). Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks, Clark Endrizzi

Importing Markdown posts to WordPress

by Dr. Drang

I apologize for being off-topic, but I think there's more expertise on this list than I'll find elsewhere. I'm thinking about moving my blog from Movable Type 3.2 to WordPress. As a test, I've set up a local WP installation and imported my old posts--all of which are written in Markdown. They look awful, primarily because the blocks of source code in many of my posts are not being imported properly. Here is what I've done: 1. Exported the MT 3.2 posts using MT's builtin export command. 2. Installed WP and the PHP-MarkdownExtra plugin. Activated the plugin. 3. Imported into WP the text file that came out of the MT export process. The biggest problem seems to be that WP isn't recognizing the Markdown formatting of the exported posts. What should be enclosed by <pre><code>...</code></pre> are enclosed by simple paragraph tags instead. Has anyone here experienced and solved this problem? -- Dr. Drang

[XML] block folding bug

by Sergei Yakovlev

Hi! In XML bundle, the block doesn't fold properly if the closing tag is not on a separate line. Example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <document> <page>This tag block doesn't fold properly. It folds as if '/document' tag closes it. The closing tag is on the same line.</page> <page>This tag block folds properly. The closing tag is on a separate line. </page> </document> Cheers, Sergei Yakovlev

Subversion bundle no longer uploading to repository for commits

by Daryl Manning

This is a strange one. The other day my Subversion commits have suddenly stopped working in terms of uploading to the repository. I ctrl-shift-A, use the commit and get the window for commiting the files I've highlighted and the -m message window. Enter a message... All good. When I hit Commit however, I get the Subversion Commit - "Transmitting File data" window and the barber pole but the window never comes back with either a dialogue box for the password for the user or anything at all. I end up having to quite Textmate in order to kill it and then doing a command line svn cleanup on the files that I was trying to upload. Handling svn through the command line with svn ci file.rhtml -m "blah de blah" works fine however. Does anyone have any idea of what may be causing this and how to correct it ? I've gotten so used to the svn budle it's really cramping my style now... thanks ! Daryl. PS> OSX 10.4.11, Textmate Version 1.5.7 (1436), svn, version 1.4.5 (r25188)

Bundles, stdin and encoding

by Álex Bueno

Hi, I've been trying to make a TM command to convert text encodings (with a nice little tm_dialog that took a while to figure out but now works very well). But for some reason, it won't read the file correctly using stdin. So that this works: iconv -f $ENC -t UTF8 "$TM_FILEPATH" But this does not (nor do other variations on the theme using stdin): iconv -f $ENC -t UTF8 < /dev/stdin TM seems to do something to the text to change its encoding, so that iconv cannot convert properly. Even stranger than that, some encodings trigger this error: /usr/bin/iconv: conversion from "SHIFT_JISX0213" unsupported /usr/bin/iconv: try '/usr/bin/iconv -l' to get the list of supported encodings Does anyone have an idea about what's going on here? Thanks, Alex

contents of your Textmate system library dir ?

by Artie Ziff

I'm wondering if the contents of my "/Library/Application Support/Textmate" directory is correct after checkout from svn. Should it be this: Bundles/ Support/ or this: Bundles/ Conventions.txt Disabled Bundles/ LICENSE Manual/ PlugIns/ README Review/ Support/ Themes/ Tools/ Work in Progress/ Perhaps I invoked a checkout on the wrong directory? Ultimately I am trying to see all the Bundles in the Bundle directory. I'm unable to find ODCompletion items even though I see them in the file system. Thank you! az

Updated MultiMarkdown Bundle for TexMate

by Fletcher T. Penney

I updated the MultiMarkdown TextMate bundle today. This update fixes a problem that Leopard users were having --- or at least I think it does. It still works for me in Tiger, and I hear reports that this fixes the problem Leopard users were having. Specifically, they were getting an error message like: /bin/bash: line 2: cd: ~/Library/Application\ Support/MultiMarkdown: No such file or directory /bin/bash: line 3: cd: bin: No such file or directory /bin/bash: line 5: ./multimarkdown2XHTML.pl: No such file or directory This was caused by an apparent change in the way the shell works under Leopard. Please let me know if you continue to have trouble with this, and thanks to everyone who helped track down this bug. Download the new version from: * <http://files.fletcherpenney.net/MultiMarkdownForTextMate.zip> -- Fletcher T.

tab completion for NSArray

by Artie Ziff

Hi, While watching the 2nd obj-C screencast, I noticed Allan was getting a tab-completion on the word NSArray. Is it possible that particular tab-completion was removed from Textmate since the screencast was created? Or might I not have all the obj-C bundles? FTR... I get a rewrite/insertion of this: NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray array]; when I do a tab completion on the word: array Perhaps creating such a tab-completion is so simple I can create my own? Do some bundles exist which are not distributed via the textmate svn repository? Thanks... az

No - MultiMarkdown belongs in Application Support - not in the textmate bundle. If it's in the bundle, then it's not accessible to other programs that use MultiMarkdown.

obj-C snippet "method", do you see same behavior?

by Artie Ziff

Hello, I notice the objective-C snippet called "method" (invoked with control-shift-m) is producing 3 spaces as indent before the "return nil;" statement. I check the snippet in the bundle editor and see it is indeed a tab in the code. What might be causing the output of the snippet to become three spaces in the objective c file? My soft tabs are set for 4 spaces. Thank you for any advice. Cheers, -az snippet code pasted here for convenience: - (${1:id})${2:${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:method}}${3::(${4:id})${5:${4/(NS([AEIOQUY])?(\w+).*)|(.)?.*/(?1:a(?2:n$2)$3:(?4:anArgument))/}}} {$0${1/^(void|IBAction)$|(.*)/(?2: return nil;)/} }

Re: citation completion can't find bibfile

by Kieran Healy

Hi, > Sorry my bad, I've been a bit rusty. TM_LATEX_BIB is supposed to > point to an actual bib file, not the directory. What you want is to > set the BIBINPUTS variable in TM to the directory path as well, like > you set it in bash_profile. (hopefully ;) ). I'm kind of surprised > this wasn't a problem earlier, if you had set TM_LATEX_BIB to that > directory. Let's hope this would fix it, I didn't have TM_LATEX_BIB set originally --- I put that in during my efforts to solve the problem. Now I've removed it again. BIBINPUTS was not set in TextMate. I set it and it returns '/Users/kjhealy/Library/ texmf/bibtex/bib:' from within TM. (This is the correct path.) But my problem persists. On the MacBook Pro, when I use the keyboard shortcut the menu pops up asking to create a label or a citation, and when I then select citation, nothing happens except the pointer changes to a cross. Same goes for the option when selected through the bundle menu. On the G5 desktop (which I currently don't have access to) the same thing was happening except I was getting the "Can't find any files named 'bibname'" tooltip. Kieran

Leo Laporte gives Textmate max props...

by xolela＠mac.com

In the MacBreak video podcast (#96) for 12/12/2007, Leo features his fav text editors & overwhelming votes for textmate while giving an idea of its capabilities as well as history......... As someone that did his entire PhD (writing - in latex, running R, Sweave, stata etc..) all within textmate I would be remiss not to thank all those that are continuously developing textmate & the supporting bundles - Alan, Charilaos, Hadley, Brett, Kevin, Allan Schussman, just to mention but a few of many people whose bundles have been helpful.... I am now getting into experimenting with new experimental bundles - eg Hans R daemon which seem as if they will be making me even more productive during 2008.. Thanks to y'all that are behind textmate & all its associated bundles.... & best during 2008! danstan

Re: [TxMt] Python Import

Hey Alex, Thanks for your quick reply. I have added a couple of folders to the PYTHONPATH in my `.profile` configuration file in my home directory. PYTHONPATH=/Users/Tony/python:/Users/Tony/python/nodebox/src It turns out that if I comment out the nodebox source path from the above statement, `import objc` works fine. Unfortunately, the reason I wanted to import the objc module was because nodebox requires it (and requires the source tree be on the PYTHONPATH). Does any one know why things would work fine from a Terminal, but not Textmate. BTW, sys.path gives the same output in Textmate and the Terminal window, except that Textmate appends the Textmate path and the Desktop, while Terminal appends the present working directory.

Slow osascript in drag command

by Dr. Drang

I learned a few days ago (see http://xrl.us/bcuzs) that a drag command with a file type of "vcf" will work on cards dragged out of the Address Book as well as vcf files dragged from the Finder. (A temporary vcf file is made as you drag the card.) I thought it would be nice to have a formatted name and address appear in the TM window instead of the default vCard-formatted info. I had an AppleScript I'd written a while ago that I adapted for this purpose and called it from the drag command using 'osascript'. The drag command works, but it takes 20-30 seconds to run when operating on a card dragged from the Address Book. This isn't because the AppleScript itself is slow--it runs almost instantly when operating on a vCard file dragged from the Finder. In the interests of space, here's a simpler AppleScript that exhibits the same difference in runtime: on run argv tell application "Address Book" set theCard to (person id (item 1 of argv)) set out to name of theCard end tell return out end run I've called it "abname.scpt" and saved it in my ~/bin directory. (I've also saved it as an application and as text. The results are the same.) Here's the drag command: if [[ $TM_MODIFIER_FLAGS = "OPTION" ]]; then uid=`cat "$TM_DROPPED_FILE" |\ awk -F: '/^X\-ABUID/\ {printf "%s:ABPerson", substr($2,1,length($2)-1)}'` osascript $HOME/bin/abname.scpt "$uid" else cat "$TM_DROPPED_FILE" fi This is set up so that when I hold the Option key down as I drag, the name of the card is inserted in the TM window. If I *don't* hold the Option key down, the usual vCard data is inserted. The behavior on my main computer--an Intel iMac running OS X 10.4.11 with TM 1.5.7 (1436)--is like this: Dragging from Option key Time to run ---------------------------------------------------- file in Finder not pressed instant file in Finder pressed instant card from AB not pressed instant card from AB pressed 20+ seconds I'd like to know why there's such a difference and what I can do, if anything, to speed things up. -- Dr. Drang

Yes, this is set too, as the full path, /Users/kjhealy/Documents/bibs. The problem is now a little weirder. I have this issue on two Leopard machines. One is a G5 desktop and one is a recent Macbook Pro. I thought the problem might have to do with the symlinks I was using to point to ~/Documents/bibs. So I deleted the symlinks and moved all the bib files to ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib. So there's no ~/Documents/ bibs anymore, and no symlinks to it. I changed TM_LATEX_BIB in TextMate to reflect this (and changed BIBINPUTS in bash_profile, too). Now kpsewhich -show-path=bib inside TM gives kpsewhich -show-path=bib/Users/kjhealy/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib:.:/ Users/kjhealy/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/ texmf.local/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/bibtex/bib//:!!/ usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.gwtex/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/ texmf.texlive/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf/bibtex/bib//:/ Users/kjhealy/Library/texmf/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/ bibtex///:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/ texmf.gwtex/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/bibtex///:!!/ usr/local/gwTeX/texmf/bibtex/// Again, latex/bibtex compile fine. via latexmk. Now when I try to complete a citation from a word, I get the following error: /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:114:in `read': Is a directory - /Users/kjhealy/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib (Errno::EISDIR) from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:114:in `parse_bibfile' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:252:in `cite_scan' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/ Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:248:in `each' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:248:in `cite_scan' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:216:in `call' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:216:in `recursive_scan' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:215:in `each' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:215:in `recursive_scan' ... 7 levels... from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:204:in `recursive_scan' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:255:in `cite_scan' from /Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:63:in `get_citations' from /tmp/temp_textmate.fLdPNM:8 I get this error with different documents and different bibfiles. If I uncheck the TM_LATEX_BIB variable in TM preferences and try to cite something, the cursor changes to a cross and nothing else happens. Kieran

Leopard borks Multimarkdown? -> an answer

by John Laudun

I'm not going to call this solved, but I at least have a working solution -- and analysis (follows). Here's my weak (very weak) unix-fu understanding of the problem. The Preview function of the MMD bundle has three simple lines: > cd "${TM_MULTIMARKDOWN_PATH:-~/Library/Application Support/ MultiMarkdown}" > cd bin > ./multimarkdown2XHTML.pl After upgrading to Leopard, I was getting the following error report: > /bin/bash: line 2: cd: ~/Library/Application Support/MultiMarkdown: No such file or directory > /bin/bash: line 3: cd: bin: No such file or directory > /bin/bash: line 4: ./multimarkdown2XHTML.pl: No such file or directory Because my unix-fu is so very, very (very) weak, it took me the longest time to realize that the Bash shell wasn't seeing the directory. I tested it by running > cd "~/Library/Application Support/MultiMarkdown" No such file or directory I tried changing it to the more usual: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/MultiMarkdown Presto! It worked. I changed the first line in the MMD Preview to the above and Preview now works like it used to. Now you can all stop chuckling at how slow I am, but my question is: has anyone else encountered this problem? Surely I'm not the only MMD adherent who has upgraded to Leopard? (I'm hoping the problem wasn't me being goofy, but it could be.) Any corrections to my analysis are welcome and will be regarded as contributing to my education. Please, no rulers on the knuckles. It's the holidays and all. john
