Just getting my feet wet with TextMate 2 and already I've got a question. What's the purpose of the checkboxes next to the names of bundles if they don't actually disable the bundle? For example, I still see Apache and AppleScript in the Bundles and Gear menus even though I have unchecked Apache and AppleScript in the preferences. Similarly, I've tried unchecking in the Bundle editor and that doesn't help either. Is there a correct way to eliminate unused bundles?

how to get TextMate environment variables from rakefile?

by matt＠tidbits.com

I am running a rakefile directly from Ruby, in order to run some tests. The tests work fine when run individually from inside TextMate 2, but some of them break when run thru the rakefile directly from Ruby. The reason is that those tests use the TM_SUPPORT_PATH environment variable. That variable doesn't exist when we are running the rakefile directly from Ruby. Is there a way my rakefile script can ask TextMate for the value of its TM_SUPPORT_PATH even though it is not running inside TextMate? I can solve the problem by just hard-coding the answer into my rakefile, but that is not a portable solution. (Indeed, the issue arose in the first place because I *was* hard-coding the answer into my rakefile, using TextMate 1; but in TextMate 2, the value of TM_SUPPORT_PATH has changed. That's why I'd like a way to ask TextMate directly "what's your TM_SUPPORT_PATH?")

unable to save file

by Lewy

Using TM2 release 9497 When I attempt to save a file (demo.php) TM2 reports that it is Unable to save file. Check console for details. When I look in Console, I didn't find an entry from this date from Textmate. Where, specifically, should I look for what is happening? The file itself can be replaced, but it would be nice to understand what's happening. Can anyone explain? --Lewy

I've been writing more or less continuously using the asciidoc TextMate bundle since May 2010, so that's 3-and-a-half years, during which I've produced and edited thousands of pages: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781449397296 http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023562.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029717.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032465.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920031017.do Here's one of those books in HTML form: http://www.apeth.com/iOSBook/ Behind the scenes, all of that is TextMate and the AsciiDoc bundle, as I explain here: http://www.apeth.net/matt/iosbooktoolchain.html I also gave a talk on this workflow at OSCON 2012 in Portland, OR. One of the nice things about TextMate is that you can modify a bundle easily. I've changed some regexes and added some snippets and keyboard shortcuts to the original AsciiDoc bundle, and I've added a couple of commands (I like to render into my browser, plus it makes a difference whether we're rendering a chapter or a book as a whole). But in general I would have to say that I have been far, far, *far* more nimble and productive with these tools than I would have been in any other way. Indeed, this experience has made me a firm believer in pure text and light markup; I never want to go back to a WYSIWYG editor, not even Frame. I do not understand the part of your question that draws a distinction between TextMate 1 and TextMate 2. The bundle was written for TextMate 1, obviously, but TextMate 2 doesn't break it or anything. I don't see how the bundle would be made to differ significantly for TextMate 2, or what difference TextMate 2 would have to its features. Yes, this bundle is crusty and not terribly well written, but the point is to use TextMate as a nimble writing tool for producing DocBook output, and this bundle lets me do that just fine, as my experience proves beyond the slightest doubt. Feel free to contact me directly via email if you want to talk about my modifications to the bundle, but I assure you they are very minor. I am not a sophisticated bundle writer, and I have no time to play with the bundle if I don't have to; I'm too busy using it to get real work done. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Programming iOS 7! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920031017.do iOS 7 Fundamentals! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032465.do RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com

TextMate freezes when lines are super long

by Yi Lin

For my work I often diff dumps of databases, and sometimes those files have super long lines without newline character; for example, an insert statement for millions of record all on a single line. When I open such a file, TextMate generally freezes. It would be nice if TM can handle working with such file efficiently, or at least warn me before trying to open such a file.

Bundle snippets scope selector -- excluding scope?

by Harald Lapp

hi, i wonder if it's possible to "exclude" scopes using the "scope selector" setting for a snippet. for example: the PHP bundle defines a tab-trigger for "array" that expands to $... = array ... thats fine as long as i am really in the scope "source.php". but when i am writing documentation (phpdoc -- which is in fact "source.php", too) it's really annoying when the 'array' keyword and such get's expanded. i wonder what's the best solution to solve this ... would i have to define a scope "phpdoc" and overwrite the tab-triggers in there or is there any other solution? thanks in advance, harald

show in symbol list

by Ross Ahmed

In a .R file, I have a bunch of headers like this: # this is a header ----------------------------------------------------------- How can I get these headers to show in symbol list and fold? I¹ve tried changing the foldingStartMarker/foldingStopMarker line without success, and I cannot find the showInSymbolList line in the R language grammar. Thanks Ross
