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

Perl Bundle - Pod2Html

by Jean Véronis

Hello, I have been annoyed by the pod2html command in the Perl bundle. It leaves unwanted files pod2htmd.tmp pod2htmi.tmp in the file directories. Fixed it this way: pod2html 2>/dev/null rm pod2htmd.tmp pod2htmi.tmp Could be useful for others (if you see bnasty side effect, please let me know). --j

File with syntax error opens in different project

by Ed Wong

Been seeing this problem since the beginning and it's more an annoyance than anything bad but figured I might as well put it out there. I often have two or more projects opened at the same time with the same folders in each project. This is mainly because I often need to work on multiple issues from the same project simultaneously. When I check a file for syntax using Ctrl-Shift-V in language bundle HTML with embedded PHP, if an error is found oftentimes the checked file will open in one of the underlying projects (where the file wasn't opened before), the project is brought into focus and the syntax error is displayed in that project. Since I need to keep track of which files belong to which issue, I would then have to close the file that was just opened in the wrong project. Any solutions? Cheers, Ed Wong

cursor doesn't follow page up / down

by Patrick Cullen

Hello. I would like the cursor to follow me when I hit page up and down. I don't want to remember to hit the ctrl key. I have followed these instructions: http://blog.macromates.com/2005/key-bindings-for-switchers/ But they don't seem to work for Textmate. Other apps (XCode, Textedit ...) behave as expected with the Keybinding set (the cursor nicely follows as the page scrolls), but with Textmate the cursor jumps around unpredictably, sometimes in the wrong direction. Anybody know whats up? My bindings: { /* home */ "\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Cmd-Left */ "@\UF702" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; "$@\UF702" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* Cmd-Right */ "@\UF703" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; "$@\UF703" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* end */ "\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* page up/down */ "\UF72C" = "pageUp:"; "\UF72D" = "pageDown:"; }

How to have the HTML window keep scrolling to show the last message added?

by Gerd Knops

Hi All, When I use (for example) TextMate to run an Xcode build, the HTML output window always shows the messages as they are added, eg it keeps scrolling down. I can scroll up and look at previous output, then back down and it resumes that behavior. I am now tracking log output from another program within a TextMate HTML window, but in that case it fails to scroll. What is the trick to achieve that? Thanks Gerd

TextMate.isBusy=false no longer working?

by Gerd Knops

Hi, I am trying to disable the annoying spinner in some HTML output. However "TextMate.isBusy=false" in some javascript appears to have no effect. "TextMate.system()" works fine, so the TextMate object is available. Any ideas? Thanks Gerd
