A couple requests about beamer support. First, highlight and smart typing pairs should include the ones supported in LaTeX. So Miscellaneous (Beamer) should be: { highlightPairs = ( ( '<', '>' ), ( '"', '"' ), ( '(', ')' ), ( '{', '}' ), ( '[', ']' ), ( '“', '”' ), ( '$', '$' ), ( '`', "'" ), ); smartTypingPairs = ( ( '<', '>' ), ( '"', '"' ), ( '(', ')' ), ( '{', '}' ), ( '[', ']' ), ( '“', '”' ), ( '$', '$' ), ( '`', "'" ), ); } Second, it would be nice to support the overprint environment in which \onslide functions similarly to \item. Specifically, it would be useful to hit enter and to create another \onslide. \onslide takes a number between angle brackets (e.g., \onslide<3>, *without* a plus or minus sign since overprints may not overlap). Another difference from \item is that the text begins indented on a new line as in the following example: \begin{overprint} \onslide<1> lorem \onslide<2> ipsum \end{overprint} Thanks in advance. All the best, Mark

Beware of creating files with names that differ only in case!

by Chris Fonnesbeck

I discovered a little quirk of TextMate this afternoon that cost me several hours of work. I had a file within a project called "distributions.py", and wanted to make a new file called "Distributions.py" to experiment with a few things. When I created this file, it generated a new file, but rather than the usual template, it contained the contents of distributions.py. Fine, I thought, I was going to copy some of the contents of "distributions.py" over anyway. I went ahead and heavily edited Distributions.py, including deleting much of the original contents. I was shocked to find that when I went back to the original file, all the editing that I had done in the new file was mirrored in the second! I had done enough editing that I was unable to undo changes to get most of it back. Several hours of work -- gone. Why on earth did creating a *new* file in a project apparently just create some sort of symbolic link to an existing file?? 2 different files "Distributions.py" and "distributions.py" both appeared in the project list, and both had their own tabs. Does this have something to do with having files that differ only in case? Very frustrating.

subversion bundle feature request

by Brad Miller

Since it seems entirely possible that the subversion bundle developers do not read the intricate details of some LaTeX discussions I thought I would just highlight a couple of ideas that came out of yesterday's emails. Could you make it more difficult to commit without a comment? For example if the comment is blank could you pop up a confirmation dialog? Or could you disable the commit button until something has been entered in the comment field? Another suggestion was to have it so that the comment field gets the focus when the window pops up. Although this seems to be how it works for me already, so maybe this is done already. Thanks, Brad -- Brad Miller Assistant Professor, Computer Science Luther College

cursor size

by Alexandra

Hi I would like to change the cursor size on my TextMate. I know there is a similar question posted several years ago, but I am not sure I understand the answer. Could someone let me know which option determines the size? Thanks Alexandra

How to echo the character count of a captured tabstop in a snippet?

by Derek Jones

I'm looking for a way for a snippet to perform a transformation on a tab stop, but to output the number characters, not to modify the captured tab stop. Can anyone think of how this would be done? Example: A tab trigger for the PHP function strncmp(), and when I type 'string', the third argument would update to the total number of characters in the string. strncmp($$1, '$2', <character count of $2>) giving me: strncmp($foo, 'string', 6) -Derek

[POLL] Infinite UNDOs / Transparent History management?

by Thomas Aylott (subtleGradient)

Ahoy me TextMateys, I just had a kindof a neat idea. TextMateHistoryManagement Currently, when you do a thousand changes in textmate and then close your document, all your changes are totally lost :( What if every time you saved your document, I caught that action, backed up your original version and the new one and then archived it away in a magical forrest for safekeeping. Then when you open that document up again you have the option to undo every previous save you've ever made to the document? And you can even see how many changes were made every time you saved with a timestamp and a full diff and all kinds of crazy stuff? I know tons of people use some kind of SCM like subversion or mercurial or something, but you normally only commit working changes and projects that you're working on. Instead, this TextMateHistoryManagement would keep track of every single change you make to every single document you ever save, good changes or bad ones, who cares, just everything. Personally, I think this would be stinking awesome to the power of infinity -1 squared! (aka, it'd be nifty) So, as far as UI goes… I want a new history to be saved every time I save the document. I want to have a nice GUI palette like photoshop to see a list of changes. That list shows the filename, hide-able full file path, timestamp and the number of lines added, removed or changed in that version. There should be a hide-able diff drawer or area with a tabbed safari- esque view with tabs for each diff available. Diff that version to it's parent, the selected items to eachother, or the selected item with your open version. There are some obvious technical hurdles to leap, but it's all totally doable. The purpose of this poll is to see if anyone would be interested in this from a fronend user interface level. I already know how I'm likely going to actually build this thing, and we can talk more about that later. What I'm most interested in is workflow. I'd like us all to come up with the best and most genericly usable workflow for everyone. Maybe some advanced stuff for the nerds, but I want this as mostly a noob feature and for people who don't want to have to care about version control or whatever. For example, with the implementation that I just suggested, you could do this… You're working on a version of some random webpage, then someone emails you a changed version. You could just replace your current file with that one and open it up and check your history palette to see the changes. (assuming you had opened and saved the original file in textmate at some point) You'd never had to install or configure or set up anything. It should all just work™ Thoughts? thomas Aylott — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg — bundleForge

HTML output autoscroll?

by Luke Daley

Is there a way to make the HTML output window autoscroll? For things like RakeMate, it would be great if the window auto scrolled as new content was added. - LD.

svn commit with shell localization other than English

by Tibor Claassen

Hello everyone, I am working with the TextMate Subversion bundle and a German shell localization (LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8). It turns out the commit result window will always show 'unknown revision committed' in its title. To fix that I put a copy of svn_commit.rb out of the Subversion bundle's Support folder in ~/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Subversion/Support/ and changed the regex in line 214 to the following: http://pastie.textmate.org/89801 Hopefully this will catch other languages as well. Maybe someone finds this useful, so I thought I would post it here. cheers Tibor Claassen
