If I press Fn + backspace, the character to the right of the cursor is
deleted. Is there a keyboard shortcut to insert one space to the right of
cursor?
Thanks

I edit/write/manipulate a lot of XML files and I'd like to create a simple way to use XPath for searching/selecting in the current document. Ideally, I'd open a textfield akin to the "Incremental Search" (CTRL+S) field and just write the expression, hit enter and the results would open in a "Web Preview" window.
I can get the durrent document's contents and do the XPath stuff, but I don't know how to hi-jack (if at all possible) the Incremental Search bar, or create something that worked similar.
Any clues for how to approach that?
An alternative way would be to just open a $DIALOG, asking for the XPath expression and then do the processing - but I can't see a $DIALOG command that lets me do that (read input)...

Hi all,
First time poster. I had a question regrading the lineHighlight property.
I.e for having a theme set a background colour to the current line in
TextMate 2. I haven't been able to get it to work.
Will this feature be implemented? If yes, is there a releated feature/bug
reference number that one can track, or an ETA?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
S.P.
Lets say I have this abbreviation:
RSPB
Can I make a command which, when I select ³RSPB² and hit a keyboard
shortcut, will replace ³RSPB² with ³Royal Society for Protection of Birds²?
Thanks

Oooh, this sounds like a bundle targetted to use with the OSX Mail.app. I might just have to leap to TM2.
Is there a description of its features somewhere?

I use the Mail.bundle for editing my posts to usenet groups, usenet posts seem to look a lot like mail.
If the message I am posting contains quoted text the display is terrible. However I change my font settings the quoted text only changes size, I don't seem to be able to change the font used. I can't find anything in the Mail bundle that relates to font to change this. My usual font (coding and posting to usenet) is Andale Mono Regular (with Antialiasing off), here's the abomination I'm faced with if there is quoted text in my message:
Any ideas where this is set, so that I can change it?

That would be great. I suggest to show those invisible characters when
"View > Show Invisible Characters" is activated. Although in the current
behaviour of that feature, the original text remains untouched. But if you
include `SpaceCharacters` in "Invisible Characters", then showing them needs
shifting of parts of the original texts to fit the representor of the
invisible characters in place of those zero-widths chars. I guess this is
not
a big problem because those characters are not so common in usual texts, and
when they are there, and the user wants to see "Invisible Characters", I
guess
he wants to see them even if the texts are shifted.
Other Invisible characters I suggest to be shown in "Show Invisible
Characters"
mode:
* Left-to-right mark (U+200E)
* Right-to-left mark (U+200F)
* These: https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/spaces.html

Yes, it was invaluable to me as it allowed me to quickly process emails with macros like "Dear {firstname}" and embedded snippets.
That said, I do realize it was a bit of a hack and Mail.app has changed much since then. Does TM2 support a version of Edit in Textmate?

Hmm, do you know any email clients for Mavericks that support this?

That post also introduced editable Web Preview, another essential part of my toolkit (and another reason I've been nervous to leave TM1). Is there a TM2 equivalent?
You can probably tell that I want to use TextMate for everything on my computer. Thanks to Allan and everyone else who's contributed to this indispensable workhorse!

For the placeholder of special characters (<U+XXXX>s), the bidirectional
category of placeholders should match the bidirectional category of the
original character. Although I guess almost all of those special characters
which are represented by <U+XXXX> belongs to Boundary_Neutral class.
For example, here you can see what has happened when I've replaced 2 spaces
with Zero-width non-joiners:

Here is the textual version, which is rendered correctly in my browser
(Chrome 33):
(متن راست به چپ)
(متن راستبهچپ)
Properties of U+200C: http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/character.jsp?a=200C
I'm interested in working on it and submitting a pull request, if you
accept this semi-feature-request and specify which solution is preferred. I
have a workaround suggestion: replacing them with some symbolic characters,
for example ⦿ for null, ↩︎ for line separator, ╵ for zero-width space, ╽
for zero-width non-joiner, ╈ zero-width joiner, ...
Best regards
