First, I really like TextMate. It's clean and extensible (in a nice, well-behaved way). It has numerous features quickly becoming part of my muscle memory. Though, there's one aspect I can't get my intuitive head around: PageUp/Down. Often times I feel as if I've landed somewhere quite different from what I expected - TextMate seems to like to re-center things or treat the current line (that with the caret) as if it were the center line (it's often not) and move things accordingly. Is there a keybinding or some other default I can set to make PageUp/ Down actually move one page up/down based solely on the visible lines, not the location of the caret? (Move PageUp/Down would then, either re-center the caret on the new page or place it at the same relative location.) Thanks! Brendan Dixon brendandixon(a)mac.com 425.922.8798

Re: [TxMt] LaTeX spelling

If it doesn't then you need to click on the Filter List... button at the bottom of the bundle editor and enable it. I take it you mean that you checked there and it does indeed appear, in which case it is mysterious that you have problems. Do the problems persist if you disable CocoAspell and use the built in spell checker? I don't personally use CocoAspell, never found the need for it, but perhaps it's useful. In any case, it would be helpful to know if the problem appears only with CocoAspell, or with any spell checker. Can you send us a screenshot showing the bad highlighting? > I haven't done anything to those bundles except perhaps update them > from the svn when I have updated the bundles in general. > > -N Haris

LaTeX spelling

by Nathan Paxton

Hi all, I have TM 1.5.4 and Cocoaspell on OX 10.4.8. When I write a LaTeX document, the spelling unit marks all my LaTeX syntax as incorrect spelling. I've set the spelling to use the English aspell dictionary, and everything works nicely in TeXShop, for example, but I can't figure out what to do to get this to work in TM. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Feature-Request: non-scrolling line numbers

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi! I've got here some code with very long lines thus vertical scrolling is necessary, while I scroll the line-numbers and folding-markers are disappearing. Imho it would be better if those aren't disappearing meaning that the vertical scroll-bar is only for the text-area while the horizantal one is for line-numbers etc and text-area. Do other ppl think the same? Niels

Bundle Item Prerequisites system

by Thomas Aylott (subtleGradient)

We're working on a new system for tagging/searching/browsing bundles. But, should we allow specific bundle items to be tagged too? One purpose would be to mark something that is Mac or xNIX only. Or something that requires some application or tool to be installed. That way we could write a single system for dealing with requirements . If a user tries to run a command that requires Python 2.4 or whatever, there will be a single system for dealing with it. Currently, every bundle item that has a prerequisite either breaks or handles the requirements system itself. Since bundles are becoming more and more cross-platform and being used in more than just TextMate on a Mac, this seems like a good idea. I know of at least two editors on Windows that are supposed to support the TextMate Bundle formats. Personally, I'm all for making the formats as cross-platform friendly as possible. thomas Aylott — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg — sixteenColors

Reftex-style cite completion

by Alan Schussman

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. Cheers- -Alan

weird translation of text out of textmate

by Lawrence Goodman

I write my plays in Textmate and then copy and paste them into Final Draft. What's happening is that apostraphes, quotation marks, and em-dashes (—) become garbled, weird combination of characters. Anyone know why this might be happening? I notice it sometimes happens when I take text out of TM and put it into TextEdit as well. Thanks. -- Lawrence Goodman lawrencegoodman(a)gmail.com Check out my blog: http://goodmanorama.blogspot.com

Getting one character from the keyboard for use in Commands

by Chris Insinger

Hi Dr. Drang, Thanks, I hadn't considered using a Snippet for this. (Ignoring some edge cases that you already mentioned), it seems to work for normal selections, but unfortunately not for column selections. I'm not sure how much room there is in an external program/Command to do anything about this, but if you have some suggestions for making it work with column selections I'd appreciate hearing them. Strangely enough replacing each non-CR/LF character with a single character like 'x' works for column selections, but replacing with "$1" doesn't - that is, it seems to insert unwanted line breaks when doing this. Thanks, Chris

BUG: HTML/PHP bundle embedded source scope fails to close

by Ashley Thomas

In a PHP file, embedded code followed by punctuation or digit fails to close scope. For example: <h1><?php echo $title ?><h1> Control-Shift-P just before ?>< produces: text.html.basic source.php.embedded.line.html Control-Shift-P between ? and >< or between ?> and < produces: text.html.basic source.php.embedded.line.html keyword.operator.comparison.php ...and scope continues to be 'source.php.embedded.line.html' until it hits a ?> not followed by punctuation/digit somewhere in the file. If I put whitespace or A-Za-z after the ?> (which I can't do in some cases, like in a filepath), the source scope closes, but its still says 'keyword.operator.comparison.php'. Same thing happens in a multi- line embed immediately followed by punctuation. The HTML language bundle has a comment about "match only multi-line PHP with leading whitespace", but even when I make the embedded php multi-line with leading whitespace, it still fails to close without trailing whitespace, et al. Very annoying for me since I use different syntax highlighting for source and text in the same document. Tried googling mailing list archives, couldn't find another mention of this. Ashley

Getting one character from the keyboard for use in Commands

by Chris Insinger

Hi all, I'm new to TM and trying to implement a Command that fills the current selection with a character. Right now I have a simple program that replaces every character in the current selection with a space character (but skips CR/LF), so far so good. main() { char *x=getenv("TM_SELECTED_TEXT"); char c=32; /* Space character - this is what I'd like to be able to replace at invokation time */ for ( ;x && *x;x++) putchar((*x==10 || *x==13) ? *x:c); } Now I'd like it to fill the selection not just with a space, but with a user-entered character... Ideally I'd like to: 1) select an area of text 2) press ^F (or whatever) 3) get a character from the keyboard 4) use that character to fill the selection How do I accomplish #3 above? Thanks for any pointers, Chris
