Hi, I'm new to TextMate and have been struggling with a few things. I'm having trouble finding answers on Google etc. and was hoping someone in the forum could help. 1. How to insert a new line above the caret position and move to the start of the new line (in the correct indentation level). Something like Shift-O in vim. 2. How to move to the start of the text on a line. So something like Ctrl-A then Ctrl-LeftArrow 3. I also have a question regarding TextMate's auto-indentation model. Say I have the following ruby snippet: def foo puts 'hello world' <caret> end Note the caret is not indented correctly. If I press enter the next line also starts against the margin. Is there a way to have TextMate always put the caret in the correct indentation position when starting a new line? Correct being whatever TextMate thinks is the correct position. Regards, Liehann

PHP getter/setter generator

by Steve Lianoglou

Hey all, I've been doing some php code lately and got a bit tired of writing getters/setters. I didn't find a command to generate them for me, so I whipped one up. I'm putting it here in case someone finds it useful. The idea is to highlight the lines in your class file where you define the class's instance vars. You then just have to fire this command and it'll create generic getters/setters for the vars found in the selection (can do multiple per line). If no lines are select, it will try to create getters/setters for the vars in the current line. It might be handier if it dumped the code into the clipboard, or something, but it will just drop the code right below the current selection. If that sounds handy, you can create a command like so: ================== Save: NOTHING Input: SELECTED TEXT or LINE Output: INSERT AS TEXT Scope Selector: source.php Command(s): ----------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import os,re,sys template = """ public function get:CALL:() { \treturn $this->:VAR:; } public function set:CALL:($:VAR:) { \t$this->:VAR: = $:VAR:; } """ regex = re.compile(r'\$(\w+)') try: text = os.environ['TM_SELECTED_TEXT'] except KeyError: text = os.environ['TM_CURRENT_LINE'] for line in text.split('\n'): for var in regex.findall(line): code = template.replace(':VAR:', var) code = code.replace(':CALL:', var[0].upper() + var[1:]) sys.stdout.write(code) ===================== Bind to your favorite key combo and voila. -steve

garbled TextMate window

by Dave Winzler

Every so often I'll open a file in TextMate and the window is all garbled, like this: http://microseeds.com/reference/textmate_garbled.jpg Now this doesn't happen very often, and it's not a show stopper since scrolling or resizing the window fixes the problem. Has anyone else seen this? - Dave

Symbol PopUp and Plain Text

by Michael Gregoire

Hi all... there's something that's been bugging me for a while. I've been wondering if it's possible to add a symbol to the Symbol PopUp in a Plain Text file? I know that I can use bookmarks, but I much prefer the Symbol PopUp for file section navigation. Thanks Mike

svn Bundle: ssh-askpass

by Vassilis Rizopoulos

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.- -- http://www.braveworld.net/riva

tm_dialog: call a other tm_dialog from tm_dialog without closing the first

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I use tm_dialog dozens of times to simplify matters, and to save time ;) But sometimes I would need a bit more (like the accessory views ;) ): I wonder if it would be possible to write a nib which contains a button, e.g. 'Browse', and if I press this button it opens an other nib (or in that case a file select dialog). The returned value from the called nib (file select) will set a value in the first nib? An other approach: Press a button in tm_dialog. In tm_dialog there is a buttonListener. If that button is set to invoke a shell script then do it. This shell script (an other tm_dialog or what ever) could write something to a file and its content could update my actual tm_dialog. Would this be too complicated or even impossible to implement? Up to now I did such things like PLIST1 = "..." PLIST2 = "..." pressedButton = Browse while pressedButton == Browse pressedButton = $DIALOG -p PLIST1 a_nib if pressedButton == Browse PLIST2 = $DIALOG -p PLIST2 a_other_nib PLIST1 = modify with values of PLIST2 end while Application examples could be: - a Browse button to open a separate File Select Dialog - a Edit button to edit preferences for the tm_dialog - a Install button to install stuff which is missing without leaving tm_dialog - a Refresh button to refresh values in the tm_dialog Or is there an other way to do something like that? Do I carry things too far? ;) Cheers, Hans

How to mark up variable length parameter lists?

by Timothy Bates

God Day all, What advice do people have for marking up a language grammar containing statements with a variable (and potentially lengthy) list of parameters, which are themselves morphologically complex? I saw here <http://macromates.com/blog/2005/language-grammars/>, the idea of using $self to re-parse the detected fragment using the whole language grammar { name = "markup.bold.html"; begin = "<b>"; end = "</b>"; patterns = ( // really means ³contains² { include = "$self"; } ); } And also the idea of using a repository of named rules to direct the second level of parsing. Are there bundles that use that and upon which which I could base my work ? The statements I want to match are of the form latentVar BY var var var var...; This should be parsed into <variable.latent> <keyword.BY> <variable.dv>... The tricky bit is that each variable has its own syntax and can appear n one of three forms name // <variable.name> name@n // <variable.name><keyword.at> <numeric.value> name*n // <variable.name><keyword.start> <numeric.value> So that each variable gets matched like this: \s+(\w+)(((a)|\*)([-\.\d]+))?\s+ A test case might be e1 BY item1@1 item2 item3*0.51; It is obviously pretty redundant and unmaintainable to make a big list like that in a single rule, and ultimately not possible as the variable list might exceed the rule's length. Suggestions gratefully received. Tim

key binding blues

by Darren Hardy

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

Re: [TxMt] [XCode Bundle] BUILD_FOLDER environmental variable

Personally I do >not have Xcode running most of the time. Ok. Then would configuration based environmental variables be useful for the Xcode bundle? You tell the XCode project you're building Debug configuration (and/or X target) and TM will use Debug environmental variables instead of Release ones... or environmental variables specific to that target. (This would also solve my problem in a round-about way: I could specify a TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_DEBUG and TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_RELEASE and, since I specified that I'm building Debug, TM would use TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_DEBUG to find and launch the app) Later, _Ryan Wilcox -- Wilcox Development Solutions: <http://www.wilcoxd.com> Toolsmiths for the Internet Age PGP: 0x2F4E9C31
