January 2012 - TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Martin Hess

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 :)

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

SQL.Bundle -> Bad Handshake Issue -> Mac OSX Lion

by Gregory Bluvshteyn

Hi Everyone, I am a big fan of textmate and been using it for last 6 years, and SQL bundle was one of the main tools in my toolbox.

Any pointers on that would be greatly appreciated.

[TM2] selection behavior

by Gerd Knops

Hi, TM2 still appears to have the same troublesome selection behavior TM1 has. As an example take this line in Perl: die("$self failed to implement ".(caller(0))[3]); Ideally I could select '$self' by double-clicking. For that to work I would need to tell TM2 that $ is a word character in Perl, per grammar word character definitions are needed. (That may be there already, but I can't find it being mentioned anywhere.) Now double-clicking on 'self' and moving the mouse to the left to add the '$' doesn't work because it adds '("$'. TM2 should treat non-word characters as individual characters instead of grouping them together into a "word" when extending a selection that started with a double-click. Similarly it is impossible to select 'caller(0)' by double-clicking 'caller' and extending to the right, instead one ends up with 'caller(0))['. Gerd

[TM2] Visibility of current file browser root

by John Whitley

Something I'd like to see improved in TM2 is the visibility of the current file browser root. Since I started working with TM2, I've noticed several things about the file browser: - I frequently glance at the file browser/project drawer to orient myself, essentially answering "which project's window is this?" - The "project" indication, the browser's current directory, is now the smallest text on the page. (I use a larger font than the default for the editing windows.) It's also tucked in the midst of a lot of other stuff, making it hardre to quickly pick out. - The current directory name is truncated by the buttons to its right when the file browser pane is narrowed even a bit. - Quickly inspecting the contents of the file browser is often not illuminating. Imagine working with multiple Rails apps, multiple git clones of the same project, etc. - No location information is available when the drawer is closed. By contrast TM1's default formatting of the title bar with "<icon> <file> - <project>". --------- On that last point, I note that the window title is now user-configurable in .tm_properties; great news. However, I've not had any luck in recreating TM1's behavior. For example, in ~/.tm_properties I have: windowTitle = '${TM_DISPLAYNAME}\ ${TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY:+ - $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY}' and in a project root directory, I have .tm_properties with: projectDirectory = '${CWD}' After restarting TextMate (is there an easier way to reload the props?), it seems that TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY is never set even when projectDirectory has been set in .tm_properties. Am I just missing something about projectDirectory/TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY, or is this a bug? Thanks, John

TM2: 9007 ignoring .tm_properties setting?

by Christopher Creutzig

Hi, in one folder, I have the following .tm_properties, to hide folders with derived files (.o etc.): myExtraExcludes = "lib,glnx86,glnxa64,maci64,win32,win64,x64" excludeInFileChooser = "{$excludeInFileChooser,$myExtraExcludes}" excludeInFolderSearch = "{$excludeInFolderSearch,$myExtraExcludes}" I believe (but am not certain) that worked for build 9005 or something around there, but with 9007, I see all of these folders (and TM2 is crawling, which may indicate that it watches the files in these folders). Should this work as shown? Christopher

TM2: moving text adds whitespace

by Rob McBroom

I move text around pretty frequently using ⌃⌘[arrow keys]. There are various scenarios where moving text this way in TM2 causes the selection to expand, with whitespace inserted to the left. (Very easy to reproduce in code with different indentation levels.) Is this known/intended? Is there a setting I’m missing that will stop it from happening? If it’s intentional, let me say that I don’t see a use case for altering my selection simply because I moved it. :-) If the user is trying to move text out beyond the existing end of the line, I could see adding whitespace to make it work, but even then it should be added *outside* the selection without altering it, right? -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>

Find/Replace in Folder

by Curt Sellmer

When performing a find in folder and then replacing all of the matches with new content, how can I save all of the files. If I select 'Save All' from the menu the files are not saved. The only way I have found so far is to press the <Next> button on the find dialog which then warns me that the files have not be saved and provides a button to do so. Is there a more direct way to save these changes? Curt

TM2: fontName/Size override in .tm_properties has no effect

by Chris Wong

I had set the font of my project/folder via the View->Font menu to "ProFontWindows" 9 In my folder, I create .tm_properties with the following content. TM_GIT = "/usr/local/bin/git" TEST_DEFAULT_FONT="$fontName/$fontSize" ["*.txt"] fontName = "Menlo" fontSize = 16 TEST_TXT_FONT="$fontName/$fontSize" In a txt file, I execute the following line with ^R echo $TEST_TXT_FONT =Menlo/16 echo $TEST_DEFAULT_FONT =/ But the problem is the the buffer is not rendered with Menlo size 16. Is my font setting via the menu overriding the font setting in the .tm_properties file? How do I reset it if that's the case? Thanks -- Chris

Multiple output windows needed!

by Gerd Knops

Seems TM2 can only run one task at a time. I have multiple Xcode targets I run at the same time, TM2 only allows me to run one of them. It also keeps reusing the same output window, so I can't have (for example) my ToDo list and view uncommitted changes at the same time. Gerd

TM2: Wrap column not changed once new file is saved.

by ravasthi

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I noticed a problem with TM2's implementation of the wrap column. In my ~/.tm_properties file, I have: # File type specific configuration # [ text ] softWrap = true [ text.{haml,html} ] wrapColumn = 100 [ text.plain ] wrapColumn = 80 And for the most part, TM2 respects this. However, the wrap column setting is not respected when I'm creating a new file: When I create a new file, its type is text.plain by default, and the wrap column is 80. This is fine. But then say I save it as an HTML file. I expect that the wrap column should now move to 100, because the type of the file has changed to text.html. TM2 does not do that. Instead, to see the wrap column properly set, I have to close and reopen the file. Should I open this as a ticket instead? Please let me know.

Macros and Proxies

by Steve King

I've looked all over TM2, but I can't find a way to save a macro once I've recorded it. Am I missing it, or is it not yet implemented? (BTW, searching for the word "macro" in a mailing list from "macro"mates.com is... unproductive. :-) And how about proxy commands in bundles? I realize they're in a preliminary state now, but is there a list of available actions? Are proxies intended to be the evolution of macros? What prompted these questions was a search for a way to reassign the column-select keystroke. In TM1 I could define a macro to map it to something sane, like ^B. Is there a way (yet) to do something similar in TM2? On a stylistic note, I really would like "Change to Column Selection" to be put back into the Edit menu. It's not obvious (at least, not to me...) that tapping ALT is the way to do it, and it's not the kind of thing you can figure out by experimentation. I looked all over for how to make a column selection in TM2 and finally found it in a blog post. -- Steve King Sr. Software Engineer Arbor Networks +1 734 821 1461 www.arbornetworks.com <http://www.arbornetworks.com/>

Wrap column display

by Andrew Appleton

TM1 allowed the wrap column indicator to be visible when soft wrap was disabled. I find this extremely useful, but it is not possible in TM2 - the wrap column indicator disappears when soft-wrap is disabled. Are there any plans to re-enable this in TM2? It sounds small and silly but it's pretty much the one thing stopping me from using TM2 full time.

TM2 very slow durning edits

by Paul Benton

Dear all, I'm just playing with the latex bundle and TM2. Every time I do anything like edit text or save TM2 freezes and takes up one core on my machine. I this due to 'attr.save-on-deactivate' ? my .tm_properties file looks as follows: ####### PATH = "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/bin/local:/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/bin" [ *.{R, c, cpp, m, pl, rb, html, xml}] scopeAttributes = 'attr.save-on-deactivate' ###### Also quick 2nd question how do I get the compiled pdf to appear in a separate window like TM1 instead of at the bottom of the window?
