I have a very simple question: where is the setting with which I can choose the side the project drawer appears on? I have a collection of project windows I keep open every time I open TextMate, and the project drawers are all on the left. However, I just created a new project and the drawer is on the right and I cannot see any setting in preferences that controls this, nor can I just drag the drawer where I want it. I can hide the drawer, move the window all the way over to the right and then show the drawer and it pops out of the left where I want it. But come on! There must be a better way?! Either it's right there in front of me and I'm not seeing it, or it's unusual interface shortcoming for such a nice product. Thank you for your help, Jay

Markdown Bundle bug: list syntax

by Ale Muñoz

Hi there, there seems to be a bug/glitch on the Markdown Bundle. The command to insert a new list item (currently bound to ↩) wrongly assumes unordered list items always begin with "*" If I have a list like this: - foo - bar<caret> pressing 'return' produces this: *- foo - bar * <caret> which is quite not right :) I've been taking a look at the code for the command, but it's a little bit over my head :) Michael, could you please take a look at it? Thanks in advance... -- Ale Muñoz http://sofanaranja.com http://bomberstudios.com

Performance problem with LaTeX Documents

by AndreasZeitler

Hi, A few days ago i realized i have a performance problem with LaTeX documents within TextMate. I've tested it with HTML and some other languages a few minutes ago. It seems that only LaTeX has some problems. When i type a letter on my keyboard it takes about half a second until the letter gets displayed in the document. I think you could realize how annoying this is especially when you have to write some very long text. What is wrong here? Do i have something running...all the time...which costs so much time to calculate? Thanks for any help. (or questions...)

Bundle commands cause textmate to hang, then erases selection

by James Fishwick

Good Morning, When executing certain commands Textmate hangs for a few moments, then simply erases the selected text instead of executing said command. Two examples would be "Wrap each selected line in open close/ tag" in the HTML bundle, and "Tidy" in the XML bundle. These commands have worked fine in the past year of using textmate. Recently I had a hard-drive failure and had to copy all of my preferences from back-up - this is the only thing I can think of which would have effected textamate's behavior. Any ideas? Thanks, James Fishwick Charlottesville, VA

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

Ideally we >would extend our code to also look there. 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 ?

Nested Snippet Evaluation

by Alain O'Dea

TextMate [r1405#17788] I'm not sure if this is an issue specific to the Erlang bundle. I want to write the following: -import (lists, [map/2, sum/1]). I want to write it using snippets as follows and have my cursor appear after ending dot: imp<TAB>lists<TAB>map<TAB>2<^,>sum<TAB>1<TAB> However the result of this is: -import (lists, [map/2, sum/1 <CURSOR>]). Basically I expect surrounding snippets to remain in something like a stack so that their tab stops are honored prior to the tab key being accepted as a tab character. Is this supported in TextMate?

Okay, I'll try that. BTW, I'd like to thank you and compliment you for the clarity of your instructions (to someone else, earlier) on how to get the 'End' and 'Home' keys to work as in the non-OSX world. Since I much prefer the keyboard to the mouse, these instructions were a treat. I notice, tho, that there are still some apps that disregard that, such as in Firefox and Thunderbird. I suppose their structure is too different to notice the key mapping. - Dushan

If you're interested in producing > beautiful technical documents on the other hand... For beautiful technical documents, including equations, plots, etc., I do use a full latex program - it would never occur to me to use a text editor for that. What I do expect from a text editor is to be able to write and print out a letter, for example, containing pure ASCII, that I can mail off.

Thanks for this command script, Paul. I've not tried making any commands yet, but this is a chance to learn how. - Dushan

Font setting problems

by John Yates

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TM. But I have one recurring problem that is starting to irritate me. 9 out of 10 times when I start Textmate, I get some (unknown) font that I don't want. Changing the font setting in preferences has NO effect. Anti-aliasing on/off seems to work, but changing the font does nothing. But then 1 out of 10 times when I start it, TM uses my font setting and I'm a happy camper and afraid to ever close TM. I've not spent a lot of time messing around trying to figure out the problem...I'm also new to Mac and feel like a fish out of water doing anything. So I thought I'd ask if anyone knows what is going on...and how I can get TM to use my font choice all the time. Thanks, John
