Hi, I started to customize the highlighting for Perl code with this code in my personal Bundle: { patterns = ( { name = 'comment.line.debug.perl'; match = '\bi ''.*'';|\bi ".*";|\bi q{.*};|\bi qq{.*};'; }, ); } This works fine, so that all lines like `i '…';` are now formatted like a comment (`#`). But it has some side-effects: E.g. the change from double-quotes to single-quotes by pressing `Ctrl+Shift+"` does not work any more. Plus I would like to change the formatting (color, ...) to something different. What would be the the best way? -- Ingo Lantschner

Tabs as spaces (characters)

by Eric Merrill

Most code editors have an option where you can configure tabs to behave as x spaces - you hit tab and it inserts 4 spaces, you hit delete, it removes 4 spaces (if it seems the 4 spaces should be treated as a group). I work on projects where the coding standards specify to not use tabs - you must you 4 spaces per level of indent. Maybe this feature exists (using TM2), and I just haven't found it. If not, I really hope you can add it - love TM2! Thanks -Eric

side by side

by Comer Duncan

This may be an old request or me not knowing something, but is side by side file editing possible? Thanks and apologies if I am the last user who does not know either that this capability is already implemented or that I shouldn't ask... Comer

Narrower windows

by Quinn Comendant

I'd like to put my 2¢ towards allowing TM2 windows to shrink narrower than what now appears to be a ~ 538px minimum limit. It is sometimes nice to have a narrow window next to a much wider window. I don't remember TM1 having this min limit. It seems TM2's min width is determined by the status and menus a the bottom-left of the window. This became an issue for me because a) now using a "13 MBA, and b) have found the wonderful <http://spectacleapp.com/> to allow hotkey-window resizing. One of the dimensions Spectacle supports is too narrow for TM2, and blocks easy automated window tiling. =) -- Quinn Comendant Strangecode, LLC http://www.strangecode.com/ @qc and @strangecode

The new commit window

by Jacob Carlborg

I just noticed the new commit window in the latest release of TM2. My initial reaction is that I don't like it. Here's a couple of comments: * The new look feels quite heavy. It uses a lot of textured/brushed (or what they're called) controls. I get the feeling that Apple is moving more towards controls that feel more lightweight * The bottom bar doesn't look like the one in the main window * It's not possible to change the height of the commit message text view * The cancel button doesn't properly work. The other window that also opens still waits for a commit message (or something) after the commit window is closed * One thing that's been bugging me or quite a while is that when doing an amend the check box for updating the commit message is enabled by default but there's no commit message. The commit message of the commit being amended should automatically be inserted in the text view and all text should be selected. This makes it easy to just change the commit message when amending. Or just add new changes without updating the commit message, all without needing to use the mouse -- /Jacob Carlborg

'=' in .tm_properties

by Gerd Knops

Hi, Properties that contain equal signs appear to break, example: xxxExtraOpts = '--pref build.path=/Users/me/tmp' doesn't work, there will be no xxxExtraOpts. Is there a way to 'escape' the equal sign? Gerd

by Gerd Knops

Hi, When opening a document with mate and giving a line number with the -l flag, TextMate will select that line, but not scroll the document to it. Gerd

Every script I open thus becomes a tab in this one window, and I say New Tab when I want to make a completely new script. Thus there is just one window! It's true I can't see two scripts at once, but I don't need to; I can see a script and its results, and that's what matters.

Build Xcode projects in Textmate 2?

by John Sturgeon

Hey all, New to the list. I’ve been using TextMate for years, and just recently switched to TextMate 2. I’d love to be able to replace Xcode with it if possible, but I’m not really sure where to start. I’d like to (if possible) 1) build a project (obj-c) 2) show compile errors while editing 3) autocomplete 4) debug? Are these things possible to do within text mate, or perhaps a hybrid of both editors? John <><
