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.

Indented soft-wrap

by mwean

My understanding is that soft-wrapped lines can now be indented, but I can't figure out how to enable that. Is this feature implemented? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Indented-soft-wrap-tp32983136p32983136.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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

Experimental TM2 bundles: ApLo (HTML output window replacement), Xcode4

by Gerd Knops

Hi All, TM2s HTML output window is somewhat limited compared to TM1: - it uses sort of *tabs*, so I can't have multiple windows next to each other (handy to remove clutter and usually welcome, but when I run multiple apps/scripts in parallel I need separate windows to monitor them) - it only allows one 'long running' process at a time Since my projects often include multiple apps and/or scripts that interdepend and I need to run them side by side (eg client server etc). I used to use HTML output windows, so that I could have specially formatted log messages be clickable and get me to the correct location in the source code etc. So I wrote an application that provides multiple HTML output windows and remembers their individual placement and size. It is called ApLo, and available as source here: https://github.com/gknops/ApLo and wrapped into a TextMate bundle here: https://github.com/gknops/aplo.tmbundle For starters I wrote an Xcode4 bundle that goes with it: https://github.com/gknops/xcode4.tmbundle As time permits I plan to add support for iOS projects as well, and STDOUT/STDERR parsers for other languages (perl, lua) as I come across them. Maybe these bundles will be useful for others as well. Gerd

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 :)

Save as

by Greg

Appreciate "Save as" is still available in Lion, but I would like it better if it supplied the current name by default. Can I make TM2 do this? Greg

Text > Reformat Text (Ctrl-Q) doesn't respect custom wrap column

by Adam Sharp

Hi, I use Ctrl-Q quite a bit to hard wrap Markdown files, Git commit messages, etc. It works nicely when I set the wrap column at 80, but it doesn't seem respect the custom value I set for it in my .tm_properties file (wrapColumn = 72). Is there something I can configure to get this to work, or maybe a bundle command workaround? Any help would be much appreciated. Adam

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
