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

Interactive input when using Cmd-R

by Phil

Reading this: http://blog.macromates.com/2009/interactive-input/ Did the steps: > cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ > svn export http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Support/lib/tm_interactive_input.dylib@11735 When I press ⌘R on a simple python script using: variable = raw_input() ... it still fails like this: EOF Error: 'EOF when reading a line' Making a simple Ruby program, I got similar error: TypeError: can't convert nil into String The comments to the blog post seems to stray somewhat from the topic, so I couldn't figure out if there was something I was supposed to do differently ... -- Phil :)

Spelling and Printing

by Sascha Vieweg

Hello TM is really on of the best text editors, however, there is two issues unresolved for (the) years (of SL) now. Issue one is TextMate's spelling behaviour, i.e., the automatic detection of the language of a written paragraph, see here: http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2009-November/029964.html TM does not detect the language I am typing in, perhaps because it uses a non-Apple document window. Anyway, always changing the system language to get correct spell check on the fly (as suggested in the thread) could hardly be a working solution. In addition, quite often I write source documents in various languages, e.g. English and German, and that makes a "one language per document" unusable. There has also been an issue with an advanced print dialogue (but I cannot remember the posting). It is quite nice that TM adds headers and footers, however, TM does not print coloured syntax, and leaving a margin of about 1cm makes the printout unusable for punching and filing. In addition, 11pt Monaco is quite good on my screen but printing in that font size is rather a waste of space on the page. Of course, I know, that one may produce a html (nicely coloured, indeed), open that one in, say, Firefox, and print the html page. Anyway, I was wondering if there is any progress on these two points, first, to get the apple multilingual spell check working, second, to provide TM with a print preference to set things like font, colours, and margins. Any thoughts? Regards *S* -- Sascha Vieweg, saschaview(a)gmail.com

Open TextMate from FileZilla and I Can't Save my Edits

by martcol

So, I'm new to my Mac, FileZilla and TextMate. I have set TextMate as my editor in FileZilla but when I try to save it the Mac just goes, "Doh!" and won't save my edits. I notice that the red close jewel has a dot inside it and not a cross. I'm perplexed. Thanks Martin PS I think this probably has to do with file permissions. The files were downloaded from an existing site. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Open-TextMate-from-FileZilla-and-I-Can%27t-Save-my-Ed… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: Problems with Edit in TextMate?

by Brandon M Fryslie

Disregard my previous message, I figured it out. I had added my user to the 'wheel' group, and users in the 'wheel' group are not allowed to load InputManagers. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1338978/inputmanager-plug-ins-in-snow-le… Brandon

Problem with Edit In TextMate?

by Brandon M Fryslie

Hi, I use Edit in TextMate a lot but recently it simply disappeared from my menus. I have been using 10.6.8 for a while, the last system related software I installed was the 'OS X Server Administration' pack if that is known to cause issues. I reinstalled the input manager with the command TextMate -> Install Edit in TextMate, then tried moving /Library/InputManagers to ~/Library/InputManagers to see if that made a difference. I restarted first my applications, and then my computer after each of those steps to see if that worked. Unfortunately it has not fixed it. Does anyone know what might be disabling my InputManagers? Or if someone has a better solution for writing Language Grammars I would be happy to hear it. Thanks! Brandon
