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!

Creating a global variable via bundle command (using Python)

by Michele Pasin

Hi all, I'm trying to develop a bundle for communicating with a TCP server, and would like to create 1) a bundle command that opens the connection, and 2) other commands that use that connection object (eg via grabbing text selection in the editor window). In Python, I've created a bundle command like this: import socket sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) HOST = "127.0.0.1" PORT = 7098 sock.connect((HOST, PORT)) sock.send("some command...") print sock.recv(512) That sets up the socket correctly, in fact you can send messages to the TCP server. However each time I send a command, the socket is obviously re-created; I wondered if I TextMate provides a mechanism to save the 'sock' binding in the current environment - so that I can reuse it later within other commands. Hope this makes sense - thanks in advance for any help. Mike

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.

re-defining an alternative keyboard shortcut

by Martin Pollow

I found a strange behavior that I believe is a bug. I am using 2.0-alpha.9503 on OS 10.9.1. First I redefined the keyboard shortcut for "Comment Line" in the system Preferences. This command is from the "Source" bundle and appears as alternative shortcut to the default ⌘/ in the bundle menu (I used ⌘- in order to avoid the rather clumsy command for german keyboard layout). Right after that both shortcuts work fine. After closing and reopening TextMate, only the default shortcut ⌘/ works, the new shortcut is now ignored. When I select Bundles -> Source -> Comments I can see that the commands are still set correctly. After that, both shortcuts work again, until I close TextMate and open it again: the new shortcut is ignored until the menu selecting Bundles -> Source -> Comments is opened up, after that it works till closing TextMate again. I was struggling some time with this issue, without solution. Now after testing for writing this bug report, at least there is a simple workaround. But maybe it can be resolved. I also tried changing the Bundle "Source" itself, but that didn't do the trick either. Martin

Bug while rendering

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, I came across with a rendering bug, to reproduce it copy the following two lines and paste them into a TM document: 587 3 402 ̃ wa:w.4 NULL NULL NULL NULL 591 3 402 kha:ŋ.4 kha:w.4 NULL NULL NULL NULL On my machine OSX 10.9.1 TM 2.0-alpha.9503 these lines are rendered as shown in that picture: The "problem" seems to be that TM is not able to get rid of a TAB {utf8: 09} (and I believe this's true for each CONTROL character) followed by a combing diacritic - in that case a combining tilde {utf8: CC 83}. The actual data in the TM window are correct, you can e.g. look for TAB characters. If you remove the combining tilde TM renders the text correctly. I'm aware that this is actually my fault since a combining character shouldn't appear after a control character and "more actually" I'm glad that TM had this bug thus I could find my fault ;) but I think TM should do it like other Mac apps e.g. TextEdit. For safety reasons I attached a UTF-8 text file containing both lines. Cheers, Hans

TM2 - Subversion - Replace Conflict With Older/Newer Text

by Quinn Comendant

Is anybody else having trouble using the default "Replace Conflict With Older Text" and "Replace Conflict With Newer Text" macros? They don't seem to work for me. If I try to record a new macro, it doesn't remember the 'replace' value. That is, it works until I run some other search/replace command then my new macro for resolving conflicts just runs the last-used replace value. The macro I recorded contains this: ( { argument = { action = 'findNext'; findString = '(?m:<<<<<<<[^\n]*?\n(.*?\n?)=======\n(.*?\n?)>>>>>>>([^\n]*)\n)'; ignoreCase = :true; regularExpression = :true; wrapAround = :true; }; command = 'findWithOptions:'; }, { command = 'replaceAllInSelection:'; }, ) See, no replace value. So I added a 'replaceString' item manually: ( { argument = { action = 'findNext'; findString = '(?m:<<<<<<<[^\n]*?\n(.*?\n?)=======\n(.*?\n?)>>>>>>>([^\n]*)\n)'; ignoreCase = :true; regularExpression = :true; wrapAround = :true; replaceAllScope = 'document'; replaceString = '$1'; }; command = 'findWithOptions:'; }, { command = 'replaceAllInSelection:'; }, ) But it doesn't use this value, only the last one used in the find dialog box. Any ideas? -- Quinn Comendant Strangecode, LLC http://www.strangecode.com/ +1 530 624 4410 mobile +1 530 636 2633 office @qc and @strangecode

Git not working in TM2

by Tobias Jung

Hello, I recently upgraded my Mac mini from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and TextMate 1 to TextMate 2, so I'n new to TM2 and might be missing something obvious. Before upgerading, I used Git only from the command line and the SourceTree GUI, but now I want to start using it directy from TextMate. At the command line, `which git` will give me /usr/bin/git, so that's what what I entered as TM_GIT in TextMate's preference pane. "Show Uncommitted Changes" in TextMate's git bundle will show the correct files (i.e. those that I changed), "Commit..." will give me the correct list of files to commit. But when I enter a commit message and hit the commit button, nothing happens. No error message appears, but the files won't be committed, i.e. both TextMate and SourceTree will still show them as "modified". So what am I doing wrong? Are there any other dependencies I have to install? Any more settings I have to change? Kind regards, Tobias Jung
