I'm still trying to get started writing my bundle, but I can't even get the first two rules to work...
AsciiDoc marks bold like *this*, but I don't want this to work across paragraph boundaries. I've started by arbitrarily dividing the document into paragraphs:
patterns = (
{ name = 'punctuation.test';
begin = '^';
end = '$';
},
);
I've marked 'punctuation.test' as red, so I can see that this is working.
====
This is a paragraph
And this is a different paragraph
====
In the repository, I also define bold; the real pattern is quite involved, but let's pretend it's very simple, like this:
repository = {
single_bold = {
name = 'markup.bold.asciidoc';
begin = '\*';
end = '\*';
};
};
Now I include single_bold in my punctuation.test paragraph, by changing the patterns to look like this:
patterns = (
{ name = 'punctuation.test';
begin = '^';
end = '$';
patterns = (
{ include = '#single_bold'; },
);
},
);
This screws everything up. Yes, it works on expressions like *this*. But it also works across paragraph boundaries:
====
Like *this
it boldifies* across paragraphs.
====
That is exactly what I wanted to prevent! What is happening, as I can see from my red "punctuation.test", is that including #single_bold in punctuation.test is actually changing the meaning of punctuation.test! Instead of stopping after "Like *this", the way it did before, punctuation.test is now mysteriously extended to included multiple paragraphs.
What I want to do is give the paragraph definition _priority_ so that #single_bold only works _inside_ a paragraph; instead, including #single_bold is causing the paragraph definition to stop working correctly and is extending both itself and the paragraph definition across multiple paragraphs. How do I prevent that? Or how do I make a begin/end rule that doesn't cross line boundaries? Thanks! m.

I just quit TextMate 2 with an untitled dirty document open, and TextMate forgot to offer to save it - it simply vanished off the screen and the work was lost. I don't blame TextMate; if I really wanted that script, I should have saved it at some point. But I'm just warning people, there's a bug in there that can allow this to happen (though I am completely unclear on what the circumstances are; it's not like this bug is easily reproduced or anything). Don't assume you'll get the Save dialog on quit. m.

One of the coolest things about the bundle development process is that a grammar is "live". If you have a document open that comes under this grammar, and if you make a change in the grammar and save, the grammar is immediately applied freshly to the open document.
Unfortunately, this is _not_ true of custom themes. Let's say I have a custom theme in this same bundle (Test Theme). And let's say it contains this setting (among others):
{ name = 'Test';
scope = 'punctuation.test';
settings = { background = '#FF0000';};
}
I'm sure you can see where this is going. My idea here is to make a grammar-defined scope visible temporarily (for testing and analysis) by renaming it "punctuation.test" just long enough to let the theme color its background in the document, so I can see whether my scope is working correctly.
But this doesn't work. Well, it works, but every time I make a change in Test Theme, I have to apply that theme to the document _again_ (bring the document to the front and choose View > Theme > Test Theme) even though that theme is _already_ applied to this document (it is already checked at the time I choose it in the menu).
So what I'm suggesting is: please make themes "live" in the same way as bundle grammars: when I save a theme, it should be immediately and visibly applied to any open documents to which it is already applied. This would make the development process a lot snappier. Thanks! m.

I have a file consisting of a single column of dollar amounts such as:
$172.83
$30.00
$74.36
$10.00
$528.33
$225.00
$107.78
$30.00
$74.36
$10.00
$61.85
$61.85
$18.70
$18.70
.
.
.
I need to transform this file into a file consisting of two columns with
the second column taken from every other of the single-column numbers. How
can I do that in TM2? I have looked in the manual and online for tips but
can not find any that do what I want, or so it seems. Can you guys please
suggest how to do this?
Thanks very much.

Let's say I've carefully set up a Regex find in the Find dialog. And let's say I switch away from TextMate to do something else, and I do a find, say in a Safari page. When I come back to TextMate, my find term is gone! It has been replaced from the system shared Find clipboard. This (the shared Find clipboard) is a vile feature and TextMate should either opt out or should give me a pref to opt out. Thanks! m.

Exactly what bundle command are you using?
I looked at the commands in the R Console (R.app) bundle (like ?Send
Document / Selection to R.app?) and while I see code that activates
R.app I see no code to bring back focus to TextMate.
I'm using the command "Send Selection/Line To" and the sub-menu is "R.app and step" and the key binding is alt shift enter.
I've restarted my computer, and now it seems that Textmate 1 works fine, but it's when I send code to R.app that it switches focus.
I think it may be related to the lines in that command like
"open "txmt://open?line="
I’m trying to add some missing functionality to a bundle and stumbled upon some odd behavior of the selection string in TM_SELECTION regarding the range…
When I select a block of text and my cursor is somewhere in the middle of a line, the selection string contains exactly the highlighted range. Consider the following selection (see screenshot):
TM_SELECTION is now "5:5-3”, so lines 3-5 are included.
Example 2, column selection:
TM_SELECTION is “5x3”, lines 3-5 included.
But whenever I’m using CMD-L for “Select line”, like here, it gets somewhat problematic:
TM_SELECTION is now "6-3”, the range now includes line 6, but the *visible* part of the selection is still 3-5.
I can work somewhat around this checking if the last character in TM_SELECTED_TEXT is a newline (\n) (because that is where the additional line in the range is coming from - as one can make the same selection in example 3 when the cursor is on the first row of line 6, holding shift and hitting UP 2 times. Standard OSX behavior).
But the more I think about it, the less I’m sure if this is intentional.
Can this be considered a bug or is it intended behavior / a feature?
I'd like to have both versions of textmate on my computer, but when I
send code to the R.app in either, it shifts focus to the other one. For
example, if I am running textmate 1 it runs the R code, then shifts
focus to textmate 2, and then I have to alt tab to get back to my
original window.
I tried moving and renaming one .app, but it didn't work.

I am not sure, where to change these settings. In the Perl Bundle ->
Settings -> Indention? Or should I better make my own Bundle, so that
these Settings stick in case of an update?
Thanks in advance!
