Yesterday on the TextMate irc channel the [gSpell service for OSX][1] was mentioned, which is a fairly neat way of spell checking (more details on the gSpell homepage.) I decided to try and simulate the service as a TextMate command which takes a selection and looks up the most reasonable alternative with Google. [The tmCommand is Available here.][2] [1]: http://nspindel.com/gspell/ [2]: http://homepage.mac.com/andy.herbert/.Public/Check%20Spelling% 20Using%20Google.tmCommand

selecting all text cause Find text to fail (in finding string)

by Artie Ziff

Hello, Is it reasonable to have a 'find string' fail only because I happened to have all the text selected in the document window? Changing the selection text back to an ibar cursor seems to have made the sought after string to be found without any other changes to the contents of the document. That seems to have been my experience however I have not re-examined this to be sure. Cheers AZ

Take a look at the new Rails Multibyte character support, I think they tackled this problem already and the patches might point you in the right direction. Hell, you might be able to swipe their string extensions outright ;) - Ben

Comments automatically continued to next line?

by Andrew Durdin

Hello, After a recent update (I'm not sure which one) to TextMate, I'm finding that every time I write a comment in Python: # whatever and press Return at the end of the line, that TextMate is filling in "# " at the start of the next line. This is really getting in my way, and I'd like to turn it off -- but I can't find which trigger is responsible for this. I thought at first it'd be the "Continue Line Comment" snippet in the Source bundle, but that triggers on Enter. Is there any way to find out which command/snippet is responsible for this without going through all bundles one by one? Andrew

Re: Re: [TxMt] 'Save As' Renaming Bug - any hope for the future?

by Simon Gregory

>Thanks. I like the --with-file, but the --with-directory could get >annoying if you regularly want to save copies to a different >directory. Duplicating to the same directory is my most common use case. However there's always scope for both, ie adding the second version to shift-apple-D. If I remember correctly then --with-file will only work when --with-directory is specifed.

If you ask for echo | g++ -E - v -x c++ - and then analyze the output (with the A.Tomazos perl script, for example), you then don't want any TM_HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS, but instead, to call to the g++ compiler for this. I've thought this must be slow, and the answer to the previous query is near always the same. > • search path could depend on whether we are in source.c or > source.c++ (the former has a smaller search path) yes. The difference is (in my system): C++ /usr/include/c++/4.0.0 /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/powerpc-apple-darwin8 /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/backward /usr/local/include /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/include /usr/include /System/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks versus C /usr/local/include /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/include /usr/include /System/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks I have used the most frequently used C++ :) > • additional search paths should be taken from the current Xcode > project file, if any (and Xcode’s products build dir should also > be a search path for frameworks) oups! don't use XCode, sorry.

About the reStructuredText bundle

by Steve Lianoglou

Hi, Two things tripped me up just now using the reST bundle: (1) I'm not sure if it's broken or not, but the Validate Syntax command didn't work for me as it stands, and it's the first line that's tripping it up for me: `TRST=${TM_PYTHON:=rst2html.py}` I found that most of the rest commands used `TRST=$ {TM_RST2HTML:=rst2html.py}` and when I switched it in for that, it seems to be working. Just out of curiousity, where/how is this $TM_RST2HTML environment variable getting set, anyway (and what's `:=`)? (2) I feel like the "Convert Document to HTML" command should have its output set to "Create New Document" instead of replacing the reST in the file w/ the HTML so you don't blow out the file you've been working on. Thanks, -steve

Snippet Question: Insert given values of parameters with pull-down menu

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, I have to write much XSL stuff. I use among others the snippet collection of Andreas Schöller (BTW thanks for that). He was so kind to add information about the valid values of parameters. example: Snippet ou => <xsl:output name="" encoding="utf-8|ASCII|US-ASCII|iso-8859-1|utf8|KOI8R|cp1251" indent="no|yes" use-character-maps="mapping1 mapping2" method="text|html|xml|xhtml" /> As usual I can use TAB to jump to each ${n:} token. Now my question: Would it be possible to convert e.g. the token 'text|html|xml|xhtml' into a pull-down menu? I tried it this way: After pressing TAB TM highlights 'text|html|xml|xhtml'; I invoke a command: `echo -en "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" | ruby -e ' require File.join(ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"], "lib/dialog.rb") words = STDIN.read().split("|") print words[(Dialog.menu words)] '` and I can choose what I want. After that, of course, I cannot use TAB to navigate through the snippet any more, unfortunately. I also tried a snippet like: <xsl:output method="${1:`echo -en "text|html|xml|xhtml" | ruby -e ' require File.join(ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"], "lib/dialog.rb") words = STDIN.read().split("|") print words[(Dialog.menu words)] '`}" encoding="${2:`echo -en "utf-8|ASCII|US-ASCII|iso-8859-1|utf8| KOI8R|cp1251" | ruby -e ' require File.join(ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"], "lib/dialog.rb") words = STDIN.read().split("|") print words[(Dialog.menu words)] '`}"/> In principal this works and the TAB behaviour isn't disturb but I have no visual feedback what I'm typing while the menus popping up and the TAB mechanism starts at token 1 which I already entered. Would it cost much effort to implement such a behaviour? Meaning if I press TAB and within the new selection occurs a given delimiter (here | ) or tag or what ever that the snippet parser will show this selection as pull-down menu automatically without distroying the TAB mechanism. And, would it make sense as a global snippet feature? Regards, Hans

auto-line breaks

by David Chartier

Forgive me if this is way too rudimentary of a question, but: I use TextMate to compose some of my blog posts, and sometimes I copy/paste in text from interviews I've done via email (or even chat). Is there any way to make TextMate recognize when there's been a line break between two paragraphs and auto-insert break tags? As it stands now, I need to go in and insert two tags after every line-separated paragraph my interviewees write, which is becoming a PITA. Any thoughts are much appreciated David Chartier -- My work: professional blogger, The Unofficial Apple Weblog: http://www.tuaw.com Assistant Lead Editor, Download Squad: http://DownloadSquad.com My play: 1FPS: http://www.dcharti.com/blog/ Vox: http://dcharti.vox.com

Function calls recognition

by Juan Falgueras

Hi using Perl and C/C++ etc.. I think it would be very useful to recognize (grammatically) when a call to a function is done. I know this can be near impossible to solve (with regexps) in the Perl case, since there is no need and many people not use parenthesis after the name of the function. Anyway if you use them it should easily be easy to recognize as function call. If function calls are grammatically recognized, then the power of TM will be increased with thinks like colouring, jump to the definition (only active when in a function call scope), etc. Juan F.
