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

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.

(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

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

code comment toggling: block vs line comment hotkeys

by Andrew Pennebaker

I'm hitting Command+/ to toggle code comments on and off, but it always defaults to block comments (/* ... */). Is there a way to default Command+/ to line comments (// ...), or can I press another hotkey to do this? Cheers, Andrew Pennebaker www.yellosoft.us

Go To File - Keyboard shortcuts

by Curt Sellmer

In TM2's "Go To File" dialog, there are three tabs across the top containing the project directory, current dir, open files. Is there a way to select these via a keyboard shortcut? Thanks.
