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...

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

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.

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.

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.

Hi there :)
I seem to remember that this bug has already
been reported and if it's the case, it is still around
for me…
Quite ramdomly, TM simply crash when bringing
up the Find/Replace dialog window and tabbing
between the “Find:” field and the “Replace:” field.
Let me know if you need the Crash Report :)
TIA
Hi,
I use Textmate 1.5.5 on my MacBook Pro (2,33 MHZ, OS X 10.4.9) t
mamage my rails project with about 500 files in the project.
Every time I switch from the active TM to another application and then
back again, TM spins the wheel for about 5 secs. May be it is checking
files or something else.
I only installed the TmCodeBrowser additionally, nothing else.
Is there a way to make TM instantly responsive after activating it?
thanks,
Alex.

Hello,
I am working a lot with source code written using Emacs on Linux. The
prevailing convention is that tabs are presented as 8 spaces, but
indents are only 4 spaces. Indenting will insert spaces, and Emacs
seems to swap groups of 8 spaces for a tab.
If I use a tab size of 8 in Textmate, the source files display
correctly. Sadly, there is no way to tell Textmate to use an indent
size of 4.
It would be very useful is it was possible to tell TextMate to:
1. Draw tabs as 8 spaces
2. Use spaces when indenting
3. Intend with 4 spaces, not the 8 spaces from a tab
Is there any way to do this with TextMate at the moment?
I'm using TextMate 1.5.3 (1215)

I created this a while back, but I had forgotten about it until a
recent discussion of Drag Commands.
If you're using the pre-insalled Apache under Mac OS X, the
DocumentRoot is set to `/Library/WebServer/Documents/`. I try to
avoid attachments as much as possible, so I'll usually put a file in
that location and just send people a URL that leads them to it. To
make this easier, I created a Drag Command that applies to any file
in that directory. For example, if I drop /Library/WebServer/
Documents/some.zip in a document, it inserts http://
kendra.oit.gatech.edu/some.zip instead.
It's currently scoped to "text.mail,text.html" and I usually only use
it for e-mail, but perhaps it should be scoped for all "text"?
Anyway, I thought this might be a useful addition to the Mail or Text
bundle.
On a related note, what's the preferred way to say "I thought this
might be a useful addition to the XYZ bundle"? :)
FYI - If you're looking at the command and wondering why all the
gymnastics to get the Fully Qualified Domain Name for the local
machine, it is intended to work in either of these situations:
1. `hostname` returns something appropriate, like "kendra" and
`domainname` returns something appropriate like "oit.gatech.edu".
2. `hostname` erroneously returns the FQDN (like
"kendra.oit.gatech.edu") and `domainname` returns nothing at all.
(For reasons unknown, I think most systems are misconfigured like
this by default.)

I didn't "switch" to Apple... my OS did.
Ahoy.
I've been thinking about doing a smart codecompletion thing for HTML.
Then maybe CSS too.
The way it would work would be similar to how CSSEdit and Dreamweaver
code completion works.
Inside of an HTML tag, you hit space to bring up a list of attributes
that are valid for that tag.
Outside of an HTML tag you hit a key command or tab completion to
bring up a list of tags.
Also, it should be smart enough to insert xhtml tags or html4.0 tags
depending on the doctype.
Pretty simple really, but I'm not sure if people really want me to
share this or just do it for myself.
So, if you would use such a feature, please reply to this message.
Please also reply with what other features you'd like to see in this.
thanks

hello list.
As I've mentioned before on Allans blog, I'm developing a plugin which
should ease developing Actionscript 2 with TextMate.
The plugin is a interface for Mtasc and has an integrated SocketServer which
can display your trace commands. It also has it's own browser (based on the
WebView of course), which can show which files are loaded by your flash
movie.
You can see some screenshots here: http://nesium.com/blog/flashmate/
It works pretty solid right now (I use it for production on a daily basis)
and I hope that I can release a beta version over the next week. So if
you're interested in using it, please drop me a line. I would be pretty
happy if someone could assist me in testing this thing!
cheers,
Marc
After some minutes I'm using LaTeX Watch (which BTW is
simply wonderful and makes writing in latex a
pleasure. Try it!) the Skim CPU cycles go up to 35% (also
when both TextMate and Skim are not active or in
the backgroutnd).
At the same time the process "ATSServer" goes above 20%.
Pretty puzzling since this should be the ATSUI - Apple
Type Service thing, how is this related with TeX?
Am I the only one experiencing this?
Thanks

Hi,
Mail has this thing where by when you are typing and you are not sure
of the spelling of the word (or even if such a word exists) you
can press <esc> before yo complete the word & it gives you a pull
down of various choices. Is this something that can be incorporated
in the text scope of textmate?
(note: i know of ctr-apple-D which can check for the word in
dictionary but that is not the functionality I need in this case -
ie, since that assumes you already know how to spell the word...)
Thanks
danstan
ps; interestingly the Mail functionality doesnt seem to work within
a sentence.
I have a problem using the svn bundle with password protected
repositories and the problem is that the bundle can't find ssh-askpass,
which is to be expected since there's no ssh-askpass anywhere in my
system :).
I've search around but all I found is some references to a python
ssh-askpass script.
Any ideas how I can get this thing to work?
Thanks,
V.-

hi TextMate'rs,
i have the key binding blues. i'm an old vi guy and i still cannot
deal with the mouse when writing. so, i want to be able to use
TextMate *without* using the mouse. moreover, i want to be able to
use all the keys on the *home row* of my query keyboard (e.g., a-s-d-
f-g-h-j-k-l-;).
my question is how do i ensure that my keybindings override
everything? for example, TextMate uses ^h in lots of different
bundles and i have to hand-edit a dozen different bundles to change
^h to something else. (i thought control- functions were reserved for
user stuff?).
right now, i'm using KeyBindings.dict in ~/Library/Application
Support/TextMate, like so:
{
/* vi-like navigation */
"^f" = "pageDown:";
"^b" = "pageUp:";
"^w" = "moveWordRight:";
"^h" = "moveLeft:";
"^j" = "moveDown:";
"^k" = "moveUp:";
"^l" = "moveRight:";
"^e" = "scrollLineDown:";
"^y" = "scrollLineUp:";
}
also, is there anyplace that has the definitive documentation for
what the keybindings are? (TextMate's 'Show Keyboard Shortcuts' isn't
showing my changes). i'm mostly interested in text navigation and
basic word processing functions. i can't believe that i'm nostalgic
for WordPerfect circa 1990 when everything clearly defined via
function keys and you could by a reference card for it :).
neverthelesss, TextMate has more promise than anything i've seen in
years.
finally, are there example key binding configurations for TextMate
that are emacs-like or bash-like or vi-like?
thanks in advance,
-darren

Yes, my build dir is stored in the .xcconfig. Parsing those is no easy matter: you can have environmental variables in there, #include other .xcconfigs...
The annoying thing is that the path is in the project's executable setting: writing the following AppleScript shows the proper path
tell application "Xcode"
tell project 1
set a to active executable
a's path
end tell
end tell
BUT the executable I don't think changes when configurations are switched (right?)
OTOH, would that make a good fall back when we can't find the executable even in $PROJECT_DIR/build ?
Hope this helps,

Well, there are a few obvious points that (most) everyone wants, better
performance on networked files for example. There are (approximately)
five such Really Obvious(tm) requests (hey, I won't say what they
are--after all, they're Really Obvious(tm), right?), and even for those
that don't affect me personally, it's pretty obvious they need to be
taken care of.
Past that, what _I'd_ like (yes, I'm unique, and possibly completely out
of touch with the rest of the universe :-) ) is--simplicity. I'd like
Alan to concentrate a significant part of his design and programming
prowess on making TM not more powerful, but more obvious.
My canonical example of this is the whole keybindings issue. Currently,
dealing with keybindings in TM involves searching through bundles, using
the Keyboard and Mouse Preferences Panel, and using a keybinding utility
such as KBE. This is just too much info for my little head. I'd like it
all in one place, and if not in one place, at least simpler.
My belief is that TM is currently at a level where (for me)
concentrating on increasing uniformity and simplicity would in real
terms _add_ features to the application, because I suspect that there is
a lot of power I'm not using because I don't have the time to consider
the special cases or esoteric knowledge needed to use already existing
features.
So my real request for TM2 is--don't worry too much about new stuff.
Concentrate on making TM easier to use (keybindings as described above;
optional help strings for bundle items and a streamlined bundle editor;
UI improvements; etc.), and I'll still feel my money is well spent.
(This may have something to do with age. At 43, the days when I both had
the time and the desire to learn about cool "new" features, keybindings,
etc, are long gone. In the last five years, the only truly worthwhile UI
innovation I've come across are: The technique that Quicksilver and
Launchbar use for identifying commands/files, and that TM uses when
moving between files, i.e. type in a not-necessarily-contiguous
substring of a name to identify a command/file/whatever; And
tab-completion in TM. And the second could easily be subsumed in the first.)
Just my $0.02,
Ken
I've played some with the SQL bundle but i wonder how to auto-select a
db/config per project.
I've got multiple configurations in my config for the MySQL bundle
But i need to click the config-item that i want to use and if i switch
project i need to click the other configuration first before i can
select a query and run it.
I've tried MYSQL_DB in my project property but that didn't work out...
Regards J.
Hi All,
I'm working on an all new version of the Latex and View command. See my
earlier message for you you can switch to this branch of the svn repository
if you'd like to beta test. I'm hoping to commit a major new version
today. I've attached a screenshot of the configuration window.
Whats missing?
Is the wording on the options for opening the viewer clear?
Here is another big question I've been thinking about. Since all of these
new configuration settings will be stored along with the standard TextMate
prefereces in a preferences file, how much backward compatibility should
this new version try to maintain?
The current Latex and View command has grown organically over the life of
TextMate and there are lots of environment variables that have been added
over time, some that are semi-redundant even.
TM_LATEX_PROGRAM
TM_LATEX_COMPILER
TM_LATEX_VIEWER
TM_LATEX_ERRLVL
TM_LATEX_OPTIONS
All of the above can/will be replaced with the new interface, and I think we
should make a break and do away with these.
TM_LATEX_MASTER
This one is more interesting. We currently have two ways to specify a
master/root file. Using this variable, or using the TexShop %!TEX directive
embedded directly in the file. The TexShop way seems clearly superior to me
since it allows for more flexibility than a single environment variable per
directory or project. So my proposal is that the environment variable goes
away.
TEX_PSTRICKS
Since we can automatically detect when we should use latex instead of
pdflatex this is redundant and should go away.
As I mentioned above, TexShop allows authors to embed directives right in
their source file that specify a master file, there are others as well. I
propose that we use that same set of directives and allow the following
in-file settings to take precedence over the preferences set in the
preference dialog box:
TS-options -- command line options passed to the latex engine
TS-program -- the typesetting engine to use just for this file
encoding -- how the file is encoded, I don't really know what to do with
this one. Anybody?
I've looked at the TexShop documentation and I think this is it, are there
other %!TEX directives I'm missing?
Thanks,
Brad

Oh, thanks for the info. Amazing that an otherwise competent text
editor should lack such essentials. BTW, the information in the URL
above differs a bit from what my copy of TextMate (1.5.6) shows: the
"View Source as PDF" is in the Latex bundle rather than the Source
bundle. Where's the best place to get pdfsync and pdflatex?

Hi,
I wonder if it possible 'easily' to enhance tm_dialog in a way that
one can also use it as FileSelect dialog, like CocoaDialog it does,
in conjunction with an user-defined nib-file to append a CustomView
to the predefined NSOpenPanel.
For details have a look at:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/AppFileMgmt/
Articles/ManagingAccessoryViews.html
E.g.:
tm_dialog -f
invokes a normal cocoa-based file select dialog.
tm_dialog -f myextension.nib
invokes a normal cocoa-based file select dialog and appends
myextension.nib as an Accessory View.
tm_dialog -f -p THEPLIST
to set the current dir, which files are allowed to select, multiple
file select yes/no, dialog title, etc.
The result is a plist containing the filename and, if an Accessory
View is specified, the selections of it.

Hi all,
I am a CSS, HTML, occasional PHP/Javascript developer new to Textmate
and have been hunting around for a good HTML bundle. I may be looking
in the wrong places, but basically, I would love to find something
that gives a few of the old features from Homesite, if that is
actually possible. I would love to find some kind of bundle with the
following:
- Code colouring similar to that of Homesite and Dreamweaver.
- Auto tag completion similar to Homesite and Dreamweaver, so when
you type the ending ">" of a div tag for example, it writes out the
closing tag. This would be instead, or in addition to, the feature of
hitting CTRL + < to close the tag.
- Some kind of HTML, CSS validation, similar to the way Homesite used
to do it. Can you include validation in a bundle?
Tell me if I'm dreaming! Either way, it would be great if someone
could point me in the right direction for finding good HTML bundles.
Googling doesn't seem to get the results I want.
Cheers for any help.
Recently, I needed to unbind a TextMate menu command (Text:Reformat and
Justify) so that I could use ^J for my own uses. Ale Munoz (the n is
suppose to have a tilde above it but I don't know how to type that on a
US keyboard, sorry) was kind enough to show me how to use the Mouse and
Keyboard preferences panel to rebind that menu item to something else,
which solves the immediate problem. However, this still begs the
question; is there a way to _unbind_ that menu item, so that it has _no_
associated key binding? This can't be done using Ale's method.
Thanks,
Ken
I think the title explains it all. Instead of having to do APPLE + TAB, I
would just like to be able to highlight text and use the TAB key on it's own
to indent my text.
I guess this shortcut must be listed somewhere (APPLE + TAB). In future, how
can I find it so I can change it?
Thanks for any help offered.
