I'm running Leopard and use Spaces. I also use the 'mate' command a lot,
often from a different space than the one in which TextMate is running.
When I run "mate /filename/" (or "mate /directory/") from a different
space, the new TextMate window opens in the space TM is already in and
I'm switched to that space automatically. I don't mind that. But the new
window opens /underneath/ the existing TM windows. I often have a number
of windows open (a couple different projects, a web preview window,
etc.) so the new window ends up being completely covered.
Is there any way to change either TextMate's or Spaces' behavior so that
new windows get opened in front of the others?

I'm looking for advice on the best way to create a new bundle -- to support a
play by mail game. There are a number of similar games like this, like
Starweb (Flying Buffalo) and RSWGame. They send out reports on the worlds
and fleets you own. Players decide want to do, and send in their orders.
Repeat until someone wins.
I already have a bunch of tools to help me manage my resources, but I was
wondering if I could tie them into a bundle to make the the process even
easier.
So far, I've been thinking of treating the text file I'm editing as a kind
of database. It lists all of my resources. As I issue orders, the changes
could be reflected in the text. Any really sane implementation would use an
outside database, but I like the idea/challenge of trying to maintain
everything with the single text file. Unless you tell me it's really super
crazy.
A report for a world looks something like this:
World 5 [TERRAN] (Metal=5, Mines=5, Population=10)
Fleet 3 [TERRAN]=10 (Moved)
Fleet 17 [TERRAN]=0 (Captured)
Here I'm the player TERRAN, and I own World 5 and Fleets 3 and 17. But
Fleet 17 has no ships, so I would transfer a ship from Fleet 3. Something
like:
Fleet 3 transfer 1 Fleet 17
Some keystroke later, this order would be applied to the text, and the
report would look like:
World 5 [TERRAN] (Metal=5, Mines=5, Population=10)
Fleet 3 [TERRAN]=9 (Moved)
Fleet 17 [TERRAN]=1 (Captured)
++ Fleet 3 transfer 1 Fleet 17
The order would stay in the file (for later submission to the game), but be
marked as completed.
Each time orders are applied, I'd have to parse the whole file, apply new
orders, and change numbers and text here and there to reflect the new
reality. The files are relatively short (maybe 5 pages max), so I doubt
performace would be a problem.
Am I overloading the concept of text editing too much? Too much to do? Or
just abusing the tool a bit? Thanks for your ideas!

Hello i wonder what is the easiest way to add some custom syntax
highlighting elements to the php language, the language syntax
part in the manual is quite complex. =/
IE: I want to highlight in red the custom functions:
myfunc1 , myfunc2, myfunc3.
Where do i put the patterns without interfering with
the php bundle?, thanks in advance
As anyone who has ever done programming knows, it doesn't take long for the best laid plans to mess up elegant formatting. I've been unable to find a command that reformats messy C code back to a standard GNU format (or any other for that matter). Have I missed something, or does this command not exist for programming languages?
Thanks.

Hello
With OS X 10.5.5, I try to use "Edit In Textmate" but without success.
( I try this :--> http://blog.macromates.com/2007/inputmanagers-on-leopard/
)
Is it possible to install this function with OSX 10.5.5 ?
A lot of cocoa applications give the possibilty to use the Apple
Services like for example "TextEdit"
I would like to know why TM does not give the possibility of using the
Services.
Thanks

Hi
Often I am typing for example instanse.method_a(:param => "value"_)
with _ I marked where the caret is placed.
So the question is: is there any way to move caret from the position on the example
to the position right after right parentheses without moving my fingers to cursor keys.
So I want to be able then type .method_b on the same line as fast as possible.
This case is also applicable for single and double quotes.
Thx
I looked in the forum archive but didn't see much discussion of the json
bundle.
I installed it, using the GetBundle bundle, and it does not appear to "do"
anything (no menu items) .. even though there is a Language entry for json.
In particular, I'd like to "tidy" the json file I'm editing.
What's the secret? :)

Sorry if this is a FAQ- I didnt' see it anywhere though. I am editing
over a SSHFS-WebDAV volume and I just noticed that TM is making lots
of ._* files on the remote volume. Can this be turned off I hope?
mbp:Forms >file ._*
._form-data-create.post.desc.xml: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file
._form-data-create.post.js: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file
._form-data-read.get.desc.xml: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file

Hello,
I'm having some trouble with the LaTeX bundle. I have the PATH
variable set in Textmate's shell variables preference pane (and it
includes the location of kpsewhich), but I still get the following
error:
<begin error>
Can't find “kpsewhich” on PATH.
Theme:
The current PATH is:
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
Please add the directory containing “kpsewhich” to PATH in TextMate's
Shell Variables preferences.
Alternatively, the PATH can be retrieved from Terminal but this
requires a relaunch:
<end error>
If I push the relaunch button, a new PATH variable is created
(although its value is the same as the PATH variable I made), and I
can compile. However, if I quit and relaunch TextMate, I'm told again
that I haven't set the PATH, despite the fact that there are now TWO
shell variables declaring the PATH. Have I done something crazy?
Oh, I have a full svn checkout of the current (10736) revision.
Thanks,
Mike
