snippet with inline menu for inserting C/Obj-J/Obj-C header files

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi. Maybe someone can tell me whether this is interesting. While preparing the Objective-J bundle I found an useful way to write a snippet for inserting 'import "foo.j"' or for Objective-C '#import "foo.h"' which looks for all header files in the project or at the current path and down and shows up them as a inline menu list with relative paths to the current file. The TAB trigger is e.g. impp. A demo movie can be found here: http://www.bibiko.de/TM_importAsFileList.mov . The snippet looks like import "${1:`"$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/bin/import_FileMenu.sh" ".j"`}" #import "${1:`"$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/bin/import_FileMenu.sh" ".h"`}" To use it system-widely one could save it in SUPPORT_PATH/lib. Any comment?? --Hans

Compiling with the C-Bundle

by Sebastian Arns

Hello List, I am new on this list and here is my first question to TM: I've started to learn programming with C. of course, I want to use TM as editor because of my positive experiences with the LaTex bundle. now i've the problem with compiling the source code. everytime pushing cmd+r, I get the error: "no xcode project available" so I compile the c-files manually with the terminal. that is not very comfortable;) my question is, if there is a way that I push cmd+r, TM runs the gcc in the background und execute the file in the terminal automatically? and if there is a source error TM jumps to the specific line? my current version of TM is 1.5.7 (1464). thanks a lot for your help. sebastian

Re: "Reformat paragraph" customising

But I don't know of any such "latex beautifier". If we can formalize precisely what such a script should be doing, it will probably be not too hard to write one. The standard LaTeX bundles still(!) ships with an old LaTeX Tidy I wrote, under "Tidy". It is simple-minded and works on the whole document. You should try it out and see if it gets close to what you want. You may be able to effectively customize it (it's a perl script LaTeXTidy.pl in Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin). Here are the notes from the script comments: # General Idea # ------------ # Eat all single newlines. Add newlines after all "\\" # Newlines before each \begin and \end. After each \end{} # Each environment \begin adds a level of tab. # Newlines before each \item. # \n before each \[ and after each \] best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Associate Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu

HTML output window: JavaScrip alert() and confirm()

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, up to now it is not possible to use the JavaScript functions alert() and confirm() within TM's HTML output window. But there is a solution (unfortunately this does not work for the HTML preview :( ). The only thing I do is to write a kind of wrapper for these functions by using TextMate.system('"$DIALOG" -e ...'). <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> try { if (TextMate.system("", function (task) { })) { var __TM_confirm_Status; alert = function(s){TextMate.system('"$DIALOG" -e -p \'{messageTitle="JavaScript";informativeText="'+s+'";}\'',null);}; confirm = function(s){TextMate.system('"$DIALOG" -e -p \'{messageTitle="JavaScript";informativeText="'+s +'";buttonTitles=("OK","Cancel");}\'',null).onreadoutput=function(s) {if(s==1) {__TM_confirm_Status =false}else{__TM_confirm_Status=true}};return(__TM_confirm_Status)}; } } catch(e) {} </script> The try block will be only executed if the code will be showed up in TM HTML output window. If you put these lines into your HTML code the page will work within a normal browser as well as in TM's HTML output window. Attached is a demo command. Simply press the buttons ;) BTW With this approach I can prompt JavaScript errors by using simply "alert(err)" inside of TM ;) --Hans

Recovering from a screwed up find history list

by Dave Baldwin

I inadvertently pasted several megabytes of characters into the find field of the search and replace dialogue box. The performance of TM dropped significantly whenever the dialogue was displayed as a result. I tried using the CLI tool defaults to remove the find history from the preference file and even reverted to an earlier version of the preference file (courtesy of Time Machine) to reduce the preference file size from 4.5M to 25K. Unfortunately starting TM again somehow restored the preference file so I was still left with the problem. It turned out the fix was simple - just select a few characters and Command E to make them the new find string. Repeat with a different set of characters a dozen or so times. This pushes the offending search string down the history list until it is discarded. Dave.

HTML output window: How to access JavaScript errors

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, I have an HTML page running in TM's HTML output window with embedded JavaScript and my JavaScript is not correct, I can invoke 'Inspect Element' to see the error. Fine. But is there a way to access the error message from outside, I mean by a script? If not, would it be possible to redirect the JavaScript error messages to a log file? Many thanks in advance, --Hans

Design question of the HTML output window

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, would it be also useful for other users to have the chance to set the appearance of the HTML output window as: - normal window (like the current one) - HUD window - frameless window (like HTML tooltip) - maybe some others Technically it should be "quite" simple to provide these options. Or am I wrong? Regards, --Hans

HTML output window: How to access to JavaScript Errors

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, if I have an HTML page (TM's HTML output window) with embedded JavaScript and my JavaScript is not correct I can press the right mouse button and invoke 'Inspect Element' to look at the JavaScript error(s). Fine. But is there a way to access the(se) error(s) from outside, I mean by a script? If not, would it be possible to redirect the(se) error(s) to a log file? Many thanks in advance, --Hans

how to match unicode?

by Piero D'Ancona

Writing a ruby command for TextMate to reformat author names in a list of papers I run into the obvious but sad fact that /[A-z]/ =~ "ü" does not match anything. Is there a simple workaround? I mean, simpler than a very long and unelegant list of Unicode ranges such as the one here http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=834075 Thanks, Piero
