Annoying bug, restoring window from zoom after relaunching TM2

by Adam Strzelecki

There’s pretty annoying bug in TM2 regarding remembering default window frame. (1) Launch TM2 (2) Open new document & maximize window via (+) (3) Quit TM2 (4) Open it again (5) Open new document, it should be zoomed/maximized (6) Restore it via (+) Poof… where did it go? It is here in lower left corner of the screen with 0 content height :~( Can we have make TM2 remember regular window frame (not zoomed) and if window was zoomed? Cheers, -- Adam

Then in many cases, you don't need to create a per-»project« .tm_properties file. The .tm_properties files in nested directories apply in addition to defaults. For instance, you probably want to use different include/exclude rules in the directory where you're writing code for a numerical simulation than in the directory where you write the article in LaTeX with the associated findings. Allen made a conscious design decision to abandon project files and base the idea of projects just on filesystem hierarchy. In some ways, that makes TextMate 2 more powerful than TextMate 1.x, but other things (especially working with scattered files) has become more complicated because a folder is a »single project«. Personally, I haven't found a good way to recreate my TextMate 1.x workflow in TextMate 2 (symlinks don't mesh well with my LaTeX code and my git repositories). You probably have to adapt the way you organize your work. I have created a sensible master .tm_properties file and since I essentially only work with TeX-related files, shell scripts and markdown files, I don't really need to change them. Instead of symlinking, I just copy files and keep them in sync by hand if need be. Max

My home folder has many folders, many of which I'd like to have be in multi-folder projects. So ~/bin and ~/notes are a pair, while a second pair are ~/bank (receipts) and ~/config (a collection of configuration files used elsewhere) If I understand correctly, I'd have to have a .tm_properties file for each pair, not possible given the file hierarchy style of projects > Third, a work around would be to simply have a separate folder per > project, > > containing symbolic links (ln -s) to the folders I want in my project. > This is not a workaround, this is the expected way to handle projects. A-ha! OK, so I can make a TM folder that contains a folder for each of my TM projects, each of which in turn have symlinks to my actual folders?

REQUEST: Multi-line text boxes in Find dialog, Show invisibles in Find dialog

by Adam Twardoch (List)

One of the great things in TextMate 1 was that the Find/Replace dialog had a toggle to switch between the default view and an expanded view, where both text boxes were large scrollable "text areas", i.e. they allowed intuitive multiline editing of search-replace clauses. This is also how it's currently done in BBEdit. The TextMate 2 Find/Replace dialog looks like the default view of TM1, i.e. consists of two "input areas", i.e. one-line controls. It took me a while to figure out that you can actually type Alt+Enter there, and then the controls expand vertically -- so it's better than the default TM1 mode. But I still lack the truly "expanded" view where the text boxes were, say, 8 lines tall. Also an important feature request would be the ability to "Show Invisibles" in the Find/Replace window. Actually, I think "Show invisibles" should be the default or even the only display mode in the Find/Replace text boxes. Regards, Adam Twardoch TextMate user since 2007 (i.e. since moving from Windows to the Mac)

Projects in TM2: simple include/exclude directories

by backspaces

TM2 changed the concept of projects. Could someone point to the best pages/posts for explaining them? First of all, *are* there projects? I see the .tm_properties discussions but not sure how to correctly use them, or how to build a project that has multiple folders. My projects are of two kinds: github and multi-folder. I think the first is easy once I understand the format of the .tm_properties file (God I wish it were JSON, but I digress) because there's one obvious top level folder, the git repo, and I can include/exclude files/folders in .tm_properties, I think. But the second is harder I think. Think of my home directory with several folders I'd like to include in multiple projects. Ex: my bin dir and my notes dir to start with. I could built a .tm_properties file in the home dir which include bin and dir (both of which might also have their own .tm_properties?) But then I also want another project in my home dir that includes two other folders, src and hax. How do I manage that? I can't rely on the single home .tm_properties .. I seem to need two of them. The solution for me with Sublime is to have a folder of projects, each of which is a JSON tree which can aim its path at specific sets of folders anywhere in my system with associated include/excludes. Can I do this in TM2? Easily?

Crash occurs with 'callback.document.will-save' and 'Save: Current Document'

by Quinn Comendant

This is a possible bug report: Textmate 2.0-alpha.9495 crashes (or rather, gets stuck) when executing a command which has both of these options defined: Semantic Class: callback.document.will-save Save: Current Document As in screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/1ghCVC3.png Nobody would *want* to set both of these, but I thought mention this in case, as it happened to me, you set them inadvertently. -- Quinn Comendant Strangecode, LLC http://www.strangecode.com/ +1 530 624 4410 mobile +1 530 636 2633 office @qc and @strangecode

Regular expression to replace code

by Ross Ahmed

Let's says I have this code: is.numeric(mean(mtcars$mpg)) Let's says I highlight the code and press CMD+E to use code as find. What regular expression can I use to strip the outer function? So the replacement code would be mean(mtcars$mpg) Cheers Ross

Reformat ^Q does not account comments and other boundaries

by Adam Strzelecki

Since reformat & reformat+justify are built-ins I can’t really provide decent patch w/o asking prior how we could solve the issue. Two examples: (1) Git commit: I type commit message, than I press ⌃Q on 2nd paragraph. > ——————————— before —————————— > > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet > > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. > # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting > # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. > # On branch master > > ——————————— after ——————————— > > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet > > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor > incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. # Please enter the commit message > for your changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty > message aborts the commit. # On branch master # # Initial commit # This isn’t really what I would expect. Of course when I put empty line after 2nd paragraph it does work fine. Unfortunately I keep forgetting about that. (2) Same applies to LaTeX, which is even more frustrating, since empty line in LaTex is actually meaningful. > ——————————— before —————————— > > \documentclass{article} > \begin{document} > \title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. > \end{document} > > ——————————— after ——————————— > > \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, > consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et > dolore magna aliqua. \end{document} > > ——————————— expected ——————————— > > \documentclass{article} > \begin{document} > \title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod > tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. > \end{document} Also this applies to following cases when new environment starts before some text block. > ——————————— before —————————— > long paragraph text > % comment > ——————————— after ——————————— > long paragraph text > wrapped % comment > ——————————— before —————————— > long paragraph text > \begin{equation} … > ——————————— after ——————————— > long paragraph text > wrapped \begin{equation} … So basically reformat should take into account paragraph boundaries of given language (grammar). I’d say it would be just enough if paragraph boundary would be: (1) line with commend (2) ending or starting of fold scope WDYT? — Adam
