I've been using TextMate for years and I'm productive and happy with it. However, I like to try other editors from time to time to see if I'm missing anything. Recently I spent some time learning Vim and I discovered a few things that I particularly liked. 1) Split windows -- not the kind of split windows you normally get in Mac applications, but the Vim style ones. In Vim you can easily navigate from the keyboard to your different splits and choose what files to display in each. Additionally, you don't have to reach for your mouse to create a split. When you split, Vim divides the space up for you which is what you want most of the time. I found that it is very handy when needing to view more than 1 file at a time, which in my case is most of the time. Closing splits is about as easy as they are to create -- all from the keyboard. Multiple windows isn't really the same thing because they are slow to setup and tear down. 2) Selective multifile grep -- in Vim you can use a regular expression to open a set of files, and then just grep across the open files. 3) Don't need arrow keys -- after years of editing with the mouse; I find it painful to reach for it. It hurts my right shoulder and shoulder blade. It even hurts to have to move my hand down to the arrow keys. However, in Vim it is easy to keep your hands resting on your keyboard with your shoulders relaxed. No reaching for the mouse or arrow keys.

LaTeX Typeset & View

by Alex Ross

Hi LaTeX users, I'm working some more on the Typeset and View command, we are going to replace the default command that currently ships with TextMate. But I need some information. What process are TextMate's LaTeX users following for building their documents? I'm sure most of you are using bibtex, but what about other things like makeindex? Has everyone moved to a pure pdf-based process, or are some of you still using dvi/postscript? What are you using for pictures? Anything you can tell me will help. I would also *love* example documents along with the expected output. This will aid in testing, and ensure that your particular process will be supported! Thanks, —Alex

bibtex in textmate problem and tentative solution

by Peeter Sällström Randsalu

Hi! I had the same problem as described in a post from Sebastian on 2007-11-11 (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.textmate.general/ 23160). Here is my error output: Running bibtex on Exjobb (ny).tex Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/peeter/Peeterprogram/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin/ texMate.py", line 457, in texStatus, isFatal, numErrs, numWarns = run_bibtex(texfile=fileName) File "/Users/peeter/Peeterprogram/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin/ texMate.py", line 71, in run_bibtex return stat,fatal,err,warn UnboundLocalError: local variable 'stat' referenced before assignment It seems that it had to do with the parentheses in my filename messing up the regexes. My solution was to change lines 71 and 72 in Textmate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin/texMate.py as follows: # auxfiles = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if re.search('.aux $',f) > 0] # auxfiles = [f for f in auxfiles if re.match(r'('+ basename + r'\.aux|bu\d+\.aux)',f)] auxfiles = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if re.search('.aux$',f) > 0 and (f.startswith(basename) or re.match(r'bu\d+\.aux', f))] This works, at least for me. Or have I messed something else up in the process? /Peeter

How do I vary the C indentation?

by Berk Geveci

Hi folks, I work on several open-source projects (VTK, ParaView, CMake...) that follow a somewhat unusual indentation style. Instead of if (foo) { bar(); } bar(); they require if (foo) { bar; } bar() Getting the first curly indent right was trivial but I can't figure out how to reduce the indentation _after_ the closing curly. When the pattern matches decreaseIndentPattern, the current line's indentation is reduced. What I need is for the following line to be unindented. Is there any way to do this? Thanks, -berk

TM lags when switching

by Scott Haneda

I am pretty sure I just pinned this down to TM. If I work in TM, save, then command-tab to a browser, there is significant lag from the time it will switch to the browser, or, at times, even bring up the application tab switcher. If I do not save, the toggle is fast, so it seems to be something to do with leaving TM, where it is not letting me leave as fast as other apps do. I have tried toggling back and forth between other apps, and the behavior is speedy. Any idea what is going on, and how to solve it? These are simple files, single files, that have a hundred lines or so in them, nothing complicated at all. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *

My Path Issue (I think) with New Latex Bundle

by Charles Turner

Hi all- Having trouble running the "new" TextMate bundle with a LaTeX file that worked via the old (or current, stable) bundle and (now) works on the command line. Here's a bit of the log: > This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009) (format=pdflatex 2009.11.7) 6 AUG 2010 11:43 > entering extended mode > file:line:error style messages enabled. > **"/Users/cturner/Documents/BIZ/Personal/Resume, etc./Resume-2009/resume20090628.tex" > (/Users/cturner/Documents/BIZ/Personal/Resume, etc./Resume-2009/resume20090628.tex > LaTeX2e <2009/09/24> > > [clip...] > > Package: ifxetex 2009/01/23 v0.5 Provides ifxetex conditional > ) > /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/fontspec/fontspec.sty:18: > ******************************************** > * XeTeX is required to compile this document. > * Sorry! > ********************************************. > \RequireXeTeX ...********************************} My document uses XeLaTex and has this as its first line: > %!TEX TS-program = xelatex So I imagine my problem is that XeLaTeX isn't getting run. My default engine in Preferences is "xelatex" so, being a noobie, I'm not sure what else to do to tell the bundle my desires. Any help greatly appreciated! Best wishes, Charles

My dearest wish for TextMate, present or future :) - resizable project window fonts

by Chris Patti

I'm partially blind, and constantly find myself squinting and straining to see what I'm selecting in the project window (Which is one of TM's strengths IMO). I've tried using http://headfirstproductions.ca/modifying-textmate-drawer-font-size/ , but my lack of familiarity with IB and XCode has left me unable to actually make this work reliably. I would pay another $20-30 for this one feature alone. -Chris -- Christopher Patti - Geek At Large | GTalk: cpatti(a)gmail.com | AIM: chrisfeohpatti | P: (260) 54PATTI "Technology challenges art, art inspires technology." - John Lasseter, Pixar

LaTeX/BibTeX cite key autocomplete problem

by Christopher MacMinn

Hi everyone - I'm having a weird problem with LaTeX/BibTeX cite key autocompletion. My bib file is in the appropriate place in the user texmf tree, and BibTeX finds it when I compile the document... but cite key autocompletion does not work ("bib file not found" or something like that). Cite key autocompletion DOES work if I put the same bib file in the same directory as the TeX file itself. Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Best, Chris MacMinn

SQL grammar help

by John DeSoi

I want to be able to execute a multi-line SQL statement by placing the cursor anywhere in the statement OR immediately following the ending statement semi-colon. With the grammar fragment below everything seems to work fine except for the case where two statements are on consecutive lines: select 1; select 2; In this case, both statements are executed because it looks like a single consecutive scope. I have tried various things, but I can't seem to find the right regular expression magic to only execute the statement to the left of the semi-colon. { name = 'meta.statement.pgsql'; begin = '(?i)^(abort|alter|analyze|begin....)'; end = ';\s*'; beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'keyword.other.pgsql'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '#dollar_quotes'; }, { include = '#comments'; }, { include = '#strings'; }, { include = '#keywords'; }, { include = '#misc'; }, ); }, Thanks for any help or suggestions.

GetBundles no longer finds my bundle.

by gipetto

It can't find this one: https://github.com/Gipetto/wordpress.tmbundle But it does find this one: https://github.com/Gipetto/sp_general.tmbundle The wordpress.tmbundle has gone a while since being pushed to github. Does inactivity factor in to how bundles get listed in GetBundles? If this is the case that shouldn't be an issue to make sure that I have at least some activity to "tickle" the bundle.
