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.

Question about indentation

by Peter Rando

I've used Whitesmith bracing style for *decades*, and had it kinda-sorta working in TM 1.5.x, though not perfectly. Now I've lost those old settings and for the life of me can't figure out how to get it even close in 2.0. There's clearly something fundamental that I'm missing, but I've spent hours on this off and on over the past few months, and I'm guessing that someone who really understands the rules (and regex) better than I, could get me on the right path in short order. I'd definitely appreciate it. For those (unfortunate souls) who are not familiar with Whitesmith: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Whitesmiths_style Also, just as a general suggestion, it seems like it would be really helpful to have just a handful of "packaged" example indentation rules for the small handful of common bracing styles, i.e. Allman, K&R, Whitesmith, maybe Gnu. Of course it wouldn't be perfect for everyone, but it could be really helpful as a starting point. If you know of such a set of examples, please point me to them (yes, I've looked). Thanks!

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.

Mail threads on this list keep breaking

by Gerd Knops

This list has become somewhat painful to read because the email threading is not working properly. For example Allan's responses almost always break threading. MailMate problem? Something else? Can we fix this pretty please? Thanks Gerd

[TM2] rmate-1.5.5 now a ruby gem... installation difficulties

by Jason McC. Smith

While I appreciate the desire to bring rmate into the rubygem fold, it presents some difficulties. Prior, I could install rmate into ~/bin on any machine I had ssh access to, quickly and easily by copying the guts of the script. This let me minimize my impact on remote machines that I needed to work on. (FWIW, I do most of my work on client machines of, let's say, older vintage, with extremely locked down environments. rmate is my secret sauce.) Now, I find myself needing to install rubygems on the remote machine, just to keep working, and without admin access. In the interest of retaining my remaining hair, what's the quick and dirty way of installing rmate on remote machines now, when one does not have admin rights to do a simple install of rubygems? Failures: % rmate mpp /work/users/jsmith/bin/rmate:12:in `require': no such file to load -- rmate (LoadError) from /work/users/jsmith/bin/rmate:12 [ install rubygems in ~/bin ] % gem install rmate /work/users/jsmith/bin/gem:8:in `require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from /work/users/jsmith/bin/gem:8 % printenv GEM_HOME ~/bin/gems/

Failure running “Comment Line / Selection”.

by Darren Brierton

Comment Line / Selection:16:in `require': no such file to load -- /lib/escape (LoadError) from Comment Line / Selection:16 This is on a pretty vanilla install of TextMate version 2.0-alpha.9449 It was working fine last week. Also saw another error earlier but got distracted and forgot to make a note of it. If I see it again I’ll report it. Let me know if you need further details. Best, Darren

Problem with BibdeskCompletion

by Christoph Wockel

Hello everybody, when in LaTeX mode inside a \cite{}-command I hit alt+ESC to trigger the BibdeskCompletion I get the following result: \cite{2013-07-30 12:17:02.193 osascript[53111:707] Error loading /Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types: dlopen(/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types, 262): no suitable image found. Did find: /Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types: no matching architecture in universal wrapper osascript: OpenScripting.framework - scripting addition "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" declares no loadable handlers. Bourbaki98General-topology} (the dialog for choosing the citation displays correctly and the label "Bourbaki98General-topology" gets inserted correctly, but preceded by some error messages that I do not understand). This occurred after updating my entire system, so I cannot say which piece of software might be relevant for the bug. Any suggestions?

LaTeX completion

by Kyle Johnson

I am running Textmate 2 build 9453 on 10.8.4, and I have a problem with the LaTeX bundle that started sometime after I upgraded to Textmate 2. The autocompletion <esc> button does nothing when in a \ref{} tag. It works inside \label{}. And pressing opt+esc correctly brings up the list of tags when inside \ref{}. But the esc button alone does nothing inside \ref{}. Is this problem known? And if so, does anyone know a fix?

Automation

by Eduardo Francos

Hi, Is anybody working on adding automation functionality to TM2 ? I'm currently using TMTOOLS for my personal bundles, but I'd love to have something "official", sharable, and maybe better integrated. I cloned the source base and looking at the code I'm beginning to have a [very] general idea of how it could be implemented. I don't know how TMTOOLS does its magic (sources anywhere?) but something along the lines of the command line "mate" utility could work, maybe just extending its commands beyond just "open" Thanks for any information.

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 62, Issue 37

by Lewy

Where can I find this bundle? I looked in the preferences list, but didn't find it. Perhaps I have the name wrong. It would be handy to share code directly from inside TM2. --Lewy On 7/26/13 4:00 AM, textmate-request(a)lists.macromates.com wrote: > I tried to use the Paste Selection Online bundle item
