In my Ruby script which is called somewhat indirectly, I tried saying `CocoaDialog blahblah` but it didn't work; evidently the indirectness means that I'm not inheriting some path trickery from TM. So I changed it to this: `#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/bin/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog blahblah` That works. But is there a better way?

TextMate Wish List

by s.ross

Hi-- This might already be doable in TM, and I just don't know it, but I thought it might be worth mentioning in case it's new: - Tear-off tabs. It would be great if, when working on a set of files in tabs, I could just drag one over to the side, to have it in a new window. Stacking in tabs works great in most cases, but occasionally, it's necessary to see two files side-by-side. - Many others have said this; I'll echo it: Split screen in horizontal, vertical, and both directions (ala Emacs), both to navigate the same file or different files in each pane. - Advance to next tab bindings uses the ` key. Right now, Cmd+Option+- > is the binding, and Cmd+` advances to next window. It would be great if the default binding for advance to next tab was Cmd+Option+` just to clear a few gray cells for other use :) Just a few thoughts.

scriptmate: how to start different tasks from different windows displayed in different HTML windows?

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, imagine I have two documents open for Ruby or R. I wrote some scripts and I know that these scripts are running for a while. I select one doc and press APPLE+R and I switch to the other one and I press APPLE+R. Fine. I see two HTML output windows working. But just in the moment I switched to the second doc to execute it, the first script finished its job. Thus my script from the second doc will be shown in the same HTML window for the first document. And I had no chance to read the result or error message. How can I get rid of it. I thought maybe by naming the HTML windows differently. But what will be the best way? Add a the starting time or the name of my doc window? But this leads to the problem that I want to have one HTML window for one script. I do not want several HTML windows hanging around, I do not know which belongs to which. Is that possible in some way? Many thanks in advance, --Hans

hyperlink helper defunct, or I have a ruby error?

by Timothy Bates

hi all, I found the "Hyperlink helper bundle" a very useful tool for creating wikipedia and other links.

LaTeX bundle keybindings

by Nicolas Schmidt

Hi, I experience a problem with keybindings and the LaTeX bundle. Specifically, the command "Insert Environment Based on Current Word" does not get activated if I hit the corresponding key sequence (but I can still activate it from the menu). Other commands (such as "Insert Command Based on Current Word") work perfectly, however. I checked my Mac OS X keyboard preferences, and the corresponding key sequence does not appear in the keybindings there. Perhaps someone had this problem before, and can enlighten me about this issue. Thanks in advance Nicolas

Paste with indentation

by andrea crotti

I don't understand why every time I paste something (from external programs or even textmate itself) it always indents it of at least one level. Is it done on purpose? Any way to disable this?

Gem that works in Terminal and doesn't work in TextMate

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, I'm trying to make RubyAMP (not hosted at macromates.com) work. I installed rb-appscript using "sudo gem install rb-appscript", but when I try to run with TextMate and require it in a script, it shows me an error "LoadError: no such file to load ― appscript". In irb, I could get "true" to require 'appscript' irb(main):003:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):004:0> require 'appscript' => true My ruby script is as simple as: p require('rubygems') p require('appscript') and if I run Command-R, it fails to load appscript. The script require 'rubygems' puts Gem.path returns /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ gems/1.8 /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 My ruby version is: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i686- darwin9.2.0] gem version is 1.1.1 The gem is installed at `/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rb- appscript-0.5.1`. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on an Intel-based MacBook. Looks like I need to add a gem path to TextMate(?) Any help would be appreciated. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

Problem with pdfsync in LaTeX with Skim and Textmate

by Yaniv Stopnitzky

Dear community, I am newly trying out Textmate, which I intend to use primarily with LaTeX, with the hopes of possibly switching permanently from my current text editor, TexShop. But I cannot get either the forward or backward search function of pdfsync to operate with Skim, my preferred viewer. I have already done the following: 1) Selected Skim as my viewer in the Textmate preferences. 2) Selected "View in Skim" from the LaTeX preferences in Textmate. 3) Synced (from inside Skim preferences) with Textmate. 4) Put the pdfsync.sty file in \user\texmf\tex\latex 5) Inserted the \usepackage{pdfsync} in my document. 6) Attempted forward search with "shift-command-click" and backward search with "Show in Viewer (pdfsync)". Interestingly, the .pdfsync file, which is full of numbers that describe the document geometry, is created in the current directory... my understanding is these numbers are what is used to locate one's position in forward and backward search. But the functionality is certainly missing. (Note: I am trying to run all these programs on a PowerPC-based Powerbook G4.) Any assistance in resolving this issue would be GREATLY appreciated. I have scoured the internet and discussion groups in search of an answer, but I cannot seem to fix this error. Thanks in advance, Yaniv

LaTeX Syntax coloring problem

by Kai von Fintel

The minimal test case below shows that something in the parsing of the newenvironment command is throwing off the syntax coloring by the LaTeX bundle, at least on my system (TM 1.5.7 1464 on Leopard). The text in the document is incorrectly parsed as being in a math environment. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \newenvironment{choice} {\left\lbrace\begin{gathered}} {\end{gathered}\right\rbrace} \begin{document} Text incorrectly parsed as being in a math environment. \end{document} ----- Any ideas of how to fix the parsing? -- Kai von Fintel fintel(a)gmail.com

New project with current file?

by Kevin Horton

If I have a single file open, is there an easy way to create a new project with an existing file + the current file? I was hoping to find a menu item, or key combination that will give a file dialog to select new file(s) that would be added to a new project that includes the current file. -- Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada
