cool rubymate help feature that comes and goes

by Matt Neuburg

For a while, there was this great feature in RubyMate. When you select a term in your script and press control-H, RubyMate would consult ri (or fri or whatever it is) and, if there were multiple alternatives found, would list them all in a little tooltip or popup menu beneath the mouse. So if you said "gsub" you might see Kernel#gsub, String#gsub, and so on. This is a menu so you could click an alternative and do a lookup of that in the help. Very nice. The thing is, though, that this feature has completely vanished as if I'd only dreamt it. Does anyone know how I can get it back? RubyMate's ri interface was really pretty good, because so much of it was clickable links. The Terminal ri interface is very inconvenient because none of it is clickable links, but that's pretty much what I'm stuck with now. It's so disappointing that I'm thinking of writing my own ri interface app for Mac OS X (stop me if there is one already). m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!

PyMate broken

by Michael Glassford

I was getting errors (Ruby errors, I believe) when trying to use the TODO List bundle, so, finding the "TODO Bundle Broken" thread in this list and trying to follow the advice there, I deleted some bundles (and some unused plugins I discovered in the process) from "~/Library/Application Support/Textmate" and also updated all the bundles in my "/Users/mjg/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/" directory from subversion. Now the TODO List bundle is working beautifully (for the first time!), but when I try to use PyMate "Run Script" command to run a Python file I get this error: "-e:2:in `require': No such file to load -- /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/tm/executor (LoadError) from -e:2". It's true that there is no such file--in fact, the "/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/tm/" directory does not exist. Why is this error happening and what should I do about it? For what it's worth: other PyMate commands (such as "Run Script (Terminal)" still appear to work correctly. I'm running the latest "Cutting-Edge" TextMate, Version 1.5.7 (1464). Thanks, Mike

LaTeX (Sweave)/HTML/Markdown and Rdaemon (R)

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, while developing the Rdaemon I had one single question in my mind. How can you integrate Rdaemon in documents like LaTeX, HTML, Markdown etc. Up to now I fiddled around with automatically copy&pasting R stuff, thought about modifying Sweave etc. But I believe I found hopefully a very easy solution. One only has to use TextMate's wondrous facilities. ;P Everybody knows, e.g. if one writes an HTML doc you have the HTML scope with all commands behind it. Then one inserts a new CSS declaration. If you are inside of such a CSS tag you have all CSS features available. This is done in the Language setting for HTML. This led me to an idea. E.g. LaTeX: If I'm writing an article or paper about my analyses of a topic, and I did this by using R; then I usually explain how I did this with R. Or if you give a R course and you want to document it, or if you write a book about R, ... One can use Sweave to typeset it. Fine. BUT, my idea was to combine LaTeX and Rdaemon. I wrote a new Language for LaTeX called "LaTeX Rdaemon". The only thing I did is to insert an include statement include = 'source.rd.console' within the 'verbatim' environment. OK. How does this work now? You can start the Rdaemon and close that window. Then you open a LaTeX file, set the language to "LaTeX Rdaemon". Now you can write your LaTeX stuff, but if you declare a \begin{verbatim} block AND within that block a line begins with "> " then you are talking with the Rdaemon with all features coming from R and Rdaemon. Press RETURN and the line will be executed and the result will be written into the TeX document. (Remember the Rdaemon runs further in the background) I recorded a very tiny movie to illustrate that. http://www.bibiko.de/TM_Rdaemon_Latex.mov And this is only a test without fine-tuning! One can think about to write some code to automate some things like: - if a line starts with "> " within a tex document this line and the output will wrapped automatically by a verbatim block after pressing RETURN - if one plots something and the Rdaemon recognizes that the command is coming from a tex document which is saved in a certain folder then the Rdaemon will plot this image using a Quartz device, dev.copy2eps(/ TEX_FOLDER/THE_NAME) [the Quartz is still open for further stuff!], and return something like: \begin{figure} \begin{center} \includegraphics{THE_NAME} \end{center} \caption{Scatter Plot with Regression Line} \label{fig:FOO} \end{figure} [FOO could be calcualted, I guess] etc... By using this approach one could do this also with Markdown or HTML etc. The only thing is to expand the Language syntax, and to fine-tune the Rdaemon. Are there any comments about my approach? What kind of side-effects could be expected? Would this be useful at all? Kind regards, --Hans

TextMate, Changes.app, and Mercurial

by Tim Lahey

Hi, I've just purchased a new computer which has enabled me to switch over to using Changes.app for my diff uses. Unfortunately, the TextMate integration assumes Subversion for version control whereas I use Mercurial. I've made the suggested additions as mentioned on the Changes Wiki and everything works great from the command line, but the TextMate integration is failing me. I'm not familiar enough with either the Changes or the Mercurial bundle to make the changes, so I'm appealing to the TextMate community for help. Is there some way I can either switch the Changes bundle to use Mercurial or alternatively, switch the Mercurial bundle to use chdiff and my merge script instead of just diff? Thanks, Tim Lahey
