October 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.

Compiling LaTeX log window

by holene

Hi! Q1: I recently updated to TM2alpha, and I'm quite fond of it! I mostly use TM as my LaTeX editor. However, when I compile documents the log window doesn't close when the PDF is viewed in Skim. I have made sure the "Keep log window open" option is not checked. Actually I would like the window to show only at errors Q2: I would prefer to be able to chose the log window layout to be more minimalistic, kind of terminal-like, as I find the default layout to be unnecessary graphical and heavy. I've tried to google about a bit, but can't seem to find if changing it is possible or not. -- Holene -- View this message in context: http://textmate.1073791.n5.nabble.com/Compiling-LaTeX-log-window-tp25794.ht… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Indented soft-wrap

(textmate2) How to get rmate to open a directory

by gom

rmate is really cool. I want to work with a project directory though, not opening one file at a time. Is there any way to get rmate to open a directory or a project file?

TextMate 1 vs 2

by Randall Hand

So I'm a bit late to the TextMate wonderfulness.. I've been using the 30-day trial version for the last week, and got it pretty customized to my liking. Project+, MissingDrawer, SVNMate, bundles, a few custom Templates for my C++ projects, etc. Loving it. Today I went out and got the latest TextMate2 compile from about 2 days ago, I believe, and wow. That's a huge step backward IMO. No "Projects" that I can see, just look at a Directory (which doesn't work for me, my Directory Structure != Project structure). No support for Templates either, it seems, which I just recently figured out and _really_ love (great to just pull in a template of my base C++ class and "fillin the blanks"). Plus lots of things I customized don't see to be there anymore, or are buried in the new "tm_properties" file. Basically, I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I was getting ready to buy TextMate1, but if this is what TextMate2 is going to look like maybe I should evaluate some other tools. Is TM1 still "alive"? Or are users urged to start using TM2? Am I just really missing something in TextMate2? I'm a C/C++ developer that also uses Arduino, CMake, Python, and other stuff, so things like CTags, project-specific environment variables, and true "Projects" are important to me. -- Randall Hand http://www.yeraze.com

is it possible to use a capture in another match in language grammars?

by Chris Knight

Hello, I am working on a language grammar for HCS12 assembly language. I have read the portion of the manual on language grammars (chapter 12) and unfortunately for me it has led to more questions than answers. I have read the re.txt file and have tried many things with no apparent effect, certainly not the one I am looking for. I have the following code that matches a label definition perfectly: { name = 'string.label.def'; comment = 'case insensitive - label definition'; match = '^(\S)+:'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'string.label'; }; }; }, Now what I want to do is use the capture in another match statement to find all references to the same labels when they are being called. They will no longer be the first word of line and they will no longer have a ":" suffix. It seems to me that capture group above should have just the labels. If I could use that capture group to then find all matches of the label then my problem to match unknown labels and not get false matches to other strings that are not being matched. An example code snippet my language grammar is intended for is: staa PORTB ; light the segments ldaa PTP ; only alter port p bits we are using anda #$f0 oraa dspmap,x ; light up correct char staa PTP bra TA3 TA2: bset PTP #$0f ; turn off seven segment LEDs movb displ PORTB ; set value of LED row bclr PTJ #2 ; turn on LED row TA3: In the above snippet TA2: and TA3: are matched by my regex. I want to use capture group if possible to match the labels when in the third column, in the above snippet only TA3 is shown. I don't want to match anything in the third column that is not a label. A label will never appear in the first column which is already matched by other regex. The forth column are obviously comments and they are matched by other regex. So, how do I do what I want to do? Thank you kindly in advance, ~Chris -- View this message in context: http://textmate.1073791.n5.nabble.com/is-it-possible-to-use-a-capture-in-an… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The use of \G in single line comments

by Corey Johnson

I'm trying to understand how the single line comment rule works (found on this line https://github.com/textmate/javascript.tmbundle/blob/master/Syntaxes/JavaSc…) begin = '(^[ \t]+)?(?=//)'; end = '(?!\G)'; beginCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.whitespace.comment.leading.js'; }; }; patterns = ( { name = 'comment.line.double-slash.js'; begin = '//'; end = '\n'; beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.comment.js'; }; }; }, ); Since TextMate grammars are line based, I'm not sure how it's possible for the '\n' pattern and the '(?!\G)' pattern to work together. For example, take these two lines: // a comment var foo The 'single line comment' rule is entered by matching it's begin pattern '(^[ \t]+)?(?=//)'. The 'comment.line.double-slash.js'' rule is then entered upon matching '//', the rule is ended when '\n' is matched. Because we have matched the end of the first line, we continue to the second line. The second line will end the 'single line comment' rule because the end pattern '(?!\G)' will match the 'a' in 'var'. Because of this, var cannot be scooped correctly because the 'v' is considered to be part of the 'single line comment' rule. This fails as I described in TextMate 1 but works in TextMate 2. Is there something fundamentally different about using the \G anchor in TextMate 2. Thanks, Corey

Add ability to quickly change active theme

by Charles Stuart

Hi, Currently in order to change the active theme you have to go to the "View" menu, then the "Theme" menu item, and then select the theme. It would be nice to be able to browse the themes quickly. Either: - keyboard shortcuts to change the active theme to the next/previous in the list. - or, some sort of GUI that shows you all of the themes at once, sort of like the [previews on the wiki](http://wiki.macromates.com/Themes/UserSubmittedThemes) Thanks, Charles

transmit with textmate

by Matt Grimes

TextMate Version 1.5.11 (1635) Transmit 4.2 OS 10.8.2 supplemental installed I can ftp into all sites with no issue. Set editor to textmate, double click, and it will open textmate for about 5 docs and save no problem, after that it hangs transmit, causing a crash. I can edit with any other editor and transmit. below is usually what happens. I have repaired permission, completely removed textmate and transmit and reinstalled. any ideas would be great, as this is my favorite workflow.

symlinking vs copying "mate" into the path

by Neil

Is there a reason TextMate copies mate into the user's $PATH instead of just making a symlink to the command inside the Application's resources? What dangers do I run if I do decide to symlink it? (As part of a system configuration bootstrap script. I could copy it, but it would be a little more work.) Thanks, Neil.

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

Re: Speedier LaTeX bundles issues (Hans Taktmann)

by Max Lein

Dear Hans, I have a hard time following your explanation, especially of the word »bundle«, because I'm not certain whether that refers to LaTeX packages or one of TextMate's LaTeX bundles. The initial problem you describe has *nothing* to do with TextMate: it appears your file was saved in the wrong encoding (not applemac), so latex cannot decipher non-ASCII characters such as umlaute or accented characters. By default, TextMate and pretty much all other editors use UTF8, hence my advice to *change* the argument for when you load the inputenc LaTeX package to UTF8: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} If you comment out this usepackage command, pdflatex will not be able to correctly render non-ASCII characters (e. g. ä, ö and ü). Unfortunately the problem with the example code you've included is that it cannot be used to detect problems with file encodings. But the mail you've sent indicates that it's just a file encoding problem that's easy to solve (e. g. the umlaut for »für« was not copied correctly from your text editor). I think what you've been missing is Step 2 below. I recommend you the following: (0) Open the problematic .tex file in TextMate (1) Change \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} to \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}. (2) Select Save As from the File menu and make sure that UTF8 as file encoding is selected. Then proceed to save the file as text.tex someplace else. This way any experiment with LaTeX will not destroy work. (3) Try to compile the document. Note that if you load other LaTeX files via \include{filename.tex} or \input{filename.tex}, check that the other files are also all saved in the correct encoding, UTF8! If it doesn't work out, please include the content of test.log (in general: [document name].log) in your next post. Max

I suspect your file has been saved as UTF8 (which you should use if at all possible anyway). So change the inputenc argument to \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} and recompile. In my experience, UTF8 works best, but if you have cross-platform collaborators, you may need to work in latin1. I would strongly discourage you from using applemac encoding this day and age. Max

Adding scope to theme

by Alex Sullivan

Hi, This is probably an easy question. I'm using Mads Hartmann Jensen whitespace bundle (git clone https://github.com/mads379/Whitespace.tmbundle.git) that "adds the scopes invalid.illegal.whitespace.trailing to all trailing whitespace and invalid.illegal.whitespace.mixed to all occurrences of mixed spaces/tabs". This shows up fine in some themes (all the core themes work) but not some other themes, specifically solarized (light). How would I add a background colour to solarized to reflect that? I tried a couple of things but not got it to work. Any pointers gratefully received. Thanks Alex -- ------------------------- http://zero-dev.co.uk alex(a)zero-design.info mob. +44 (0) 785 216 7005

Speedier LaTeX bundles issues

by Hans Taktmann

Hi, as you sure now there a couple of (forked) LaTeX bundles providing speedier TeXing than TM’s standard (bundled?) LaTeX bundle. Alex Ross (lasersox)’ bundle was first, now there are Adam Strzelecki (nanoant)’s, as well as Paul Hagstrom’s. You can find them, respectively, here: https://github.com/lasersox/latex.tmbundle https://github.com/nanoant/LaTeX.tmbundle https://github.com/paulhagstrom/LaTeX.tmbundle Now, while they seem indeed to be significantly faster than the standard LaTeX bundle, with all three of them I run into the following (presumably very same) problems: When there is a line with an \input command in the tex-file, like: "\input{praewide_TM}" there shows up in the typesetting window an (apparently) error. The error message is not very verbose, just a line noting: "praewide_TM.tex:1: \documentclass[a4paper]{". ("praewide_TM.tex" is the name of my preamble-file, which is supposed to get linked in; praewide_TM.tex contains, among other things, the line "\documentclass[a4paper]...". This works with TM’s LaTeX standard bundle as expected. It also works with TeXShop, for instance.) I take it to be an error message (it nowhere says "error", or something to that effect), but if some such line shows up in the typesetting window, then there is no pdf output produced. If I manage to get rid of any of these lines noting some input, then tex’ing succeeds and a pdf output is indeed produced. When trying to typeset a letter, where my preamble looks different and has the following line in it: \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} the typesetting window will claim a problem with respect to this line: "inputenc.sty:40: [...]" When I comment out the \usepackage-line in the source, typesetting proceeds successfully (and VERY fast), though all special characters get omitted (to be able to use German umlaute like ä, etc is what the inputenc package should provide for). So, is there a problem with the speedier LaTeX bundles as regards the preamble’s structure or content of the files to be tex’ed? Sorry, I cannot really analyze or actually make sense of this behaviour, so I was hoping for some enlightment through the mailing-list. Thanks for any hints about how to tackle this. I really would love to use the speedier bundles. Best, --Hans

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

HELP: TextMate defaults to Ruby 1.8.7 instead of using Ruby 1.9.3

Have used the JewelryBox ruby gem to set up rvm and download, manage Ruby 1.9.3 Then went into TextMate prefs to set up shell variable and path to Ruby 1.9.3 at /usr/local/rvm/bin/textmate_ruby then added "puts RUBY_VERSION" at top of file. But when I run the file, the output is 1.8.7, which is the system version of Ruby. Any idea how to fix this situation? Thank you.

For example it took me some time to figure out that while projectDirectory = "$CWD" uses " marks, setting of a variable afterwards TM_LATEX_MASTER = '${CWD}/document.tex' will only work properly if ' is used (at least it didn't work for me with " when doing the LaTeX run from subdirectories).
