Hi all-
Is there a way to dump the current scopes out? I'm thinking like the
"Show keyboard shortcuts" in the TextMate bundle?
Or is there something that documents the relationship between the
various scopes, and the syntax colors?
For example, there's an appearance attribute named "Preprocessor
Directive", but what scope would lead to something being colored with
that attribute?
I think also I've noticed some conflicting documentation: Is it
<comment.block.documentation> -or- <comment.documentation>?
Thanks as always, Charles
Hi all-
In section 12.4 of the manual, under the comment root group, there are
references to further specifications of the line comment. There's an
interesting italicization of the "character" type, which creates
ambiguity for me.
Does this mean that I should specify:
comment.line.character.<language> -or-
comment.line.<character>.<language> ?
I'm thinking about Forth's backslash \ comments:
comment.line.character.forth -or- comment.line.\.forth
Thanks!
Charles

Hi James-
Nice tip, but I was referring to a shell script that would jiggle some
symbolic links in /usr/local/bin so that I could switch "ruby" between
1.9.0, 1.8.6 and MacRuby...

Hi
I'm not as proficient with text editors as many on this list.
BBEdit has a very handy thing called "Includes"
The easiest way for me to describe them is simply to copy and paste
from BBEdit help:
An include file, or just an "include," is a special form of
placeholder
whose substitution happens to be the contents of another file.
If you
have used C or certain other programming languages, you may
already be
familiar with the concept. Using includes, you can reuse
standard bits
of text content or HTML markup in several templates or clippings
entries without having to revise all of those individual files
whenever
you revise the included text.
Apologies for not only mentioning BBEdit but pasting in something from
the help :)
The reason I want to use includes like this now is that I have quite a
large web-site which uses PHP includes a lot.
I have been asked to put this web-site on a CD and of course the
problem is that a CD doesn't have any PHP.
So, as you have probably guessed, I need to convert the web-site
changing all the PHP includes into the actual chunks of HTML in the
files supplying those PHP includes.
I know that with BBEdit I would do a find/replace changing the PHP
includes in BBEdit includes and do it that way.
However I haven't used BBEdit for quite a while now because I tend
always to use TextMate now of course.
I'm wondering if I can do this in TextMate?
I've been doing searches through the excellent "TextMate: Power
Editing for the Mac" with "includes" and "placeholders" but it doesn't
turn up a description of something similar.
Thank you for any assistance you can give.

i've been using textmate for a few months now. i'm a vim convert... ;-)
anyway, i've found a replacement for almost everything except vim's
ability to hit ctrl-o and ctrl-i to go forward and backward in the
"jump history". does anyone know how to accomplish this in textmate?
or maybe just jump back to previous position? i know bookmarks can do
basically the same thing...it's just nice to have when you realized
you forgot to set a bookmark.
thanks.

Let me start by saying that I couldn't live without TextMate...it's the
one program that made my switch from the Windows world (a year and
counting! :) ) permanent. I have just a couple of issues I am looking
for guidance on however.
Firstly, when building Wordpress themes for clients, I generally start
with three files, for which I have my own custom TextMate templates. I
was wondering if there is a way to automatically create these three
files (with correct filenames if possible) from my templates. Ideally,
this would be bound to a keystroke string (command-shift-N would be
nice, since the muscle memory is already there for that string), but
mousing it from the menu would work too.
I had first thought of using a macro, but apparently, you can't use a
macro to create a new file.
Second, the keyboard shortcut for Save As stopped working some time
ago. I thought it might be an issue with a buggy install of Tiger, but
even after upgrading to Leopard (via a clean install), I still don't
have the ability to use the keyboard shortcut. I'm pretty sure it's not
a conflict with the keystroke string being redefined by a bundle or
anything (I've gone through all the bundles I have active, and nothing
is using it), so I'm at a loss.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

Brad,
Thank you for your message. I apologize for the delay, Mail.app
decided that texmate-list was spam.
I will send you the information in a private email for interest, but
the problem seems to have cleared itself up. In the meantime, I had
removed some unwanted bundles, reset textmate, etc. and now when I
typeset the document of interest, it is nearly instantaneous.
Cheers,
Brian
When I try to start a ruby script, out of
textmate with "#!/usr/local/bin/ruby" which
is the wrong path, I get an error.
So I changed /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Support/lib/tm/
process.rb
around line 101 to
if ! File.executable?( cmd[ 0 ] )
puts "Bashbang #{cmd[0]} seems to be not executable"
return [ "Error!", "" ]
end
That's sub-ideal because the error message is written with the puts.
Maybe there is a better way doing this.
Maybe it's helpful

Hey guys,
I am new to TextMate. I love this application, but some things I miss.
1. How do I reformat a text paragraph to be within a set width, like
80? On TextPad, on Windows, you could do that easily by setting the
default text width to 80, and reformatting the paragraph. I can't
find a similar 'text width' setting in TextMate. Where is it hidden?
Does someone have a command to do this? I can write my own, just show
me a similar example.
2. I have a single file of dairy-like entries. Before I start
writing, I want to timestamp each entry. I am looking to insert the
following snippet:
"==========
YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS
"
How do I do that?
I am aware of the timestamp command in the Text bundle but that only
inserts the calendar date, not the time, and I don't know how to add
the horizontal break before it.
3. I must say whereas the manual is very easy to read. I find it hard
to find out how to quickly implement what I need.
Thank you all. I am trying to figure out how to do things the
textmate way. Apologies if I am clogging your mailbox

Hi-
Would someone be willing to upgrade rcodetools to the recent 0.8.0
version in the svn Ruby.tmbundle? It fixes my troubles with Ruby 1.9,
and it would make my svn updates easier:
svn: Directory 'Support/vendor/rcodetools/test/data/.svn' containing
working copy admin area is missing
Best, Charles
