Hi, I have made the following blunder a couple of times. I go to open a file in textMate using File->Open and am in column view. I accidentally double click on the folder instead of single clicking. In list view or icon view this would just open the folder and go to the next level. In column view this actually opens the folder in textMate. If you are unfortunate enough to do this at low enough a level, textMate will then start scanning the entire folder hierarchy. I seem to remember seeing a command that would stop this process. I searched the archives of the list, but apparently I didn't on the right word choices. BTW. Part of the beauty of textMate is that it doesn't protect you from such blunders. My chain saw expects me to know not to run it while the chain is directed at my own leg. If I put a guard on the chain, it would make the tool REALLY hard to use. Currently I just force quit textMate and start over. I just wonder if there is a better way. Have a great day. -- Brad Tittle

Subversion 1.6

by Fritz Anderson

I'm constrained to use Subversion 1.6.x, and this breaks the Subversion bundle I have. I did try checking out the current bundle into /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles, but that seems not to have helped. Is there any relief for this? Either a new bundle or some Subversion properties I can set? I searched the Nabble archive for this list, and looked back a few months, but found nothing relevant. — F

Edit in Textmate Snow Leopard Services/Context Menu Commands

by ells public

Attached are two services written to take advantage of Snow Leopard's context menu/automator integration. TxtToTM sends text selected in any application and opens a new TextMate window with that text inserted. There is a rudimentary heuristic set up to check if the text is Javascript/HTML/CSS/Applescript and set the textmate bundle type accordingly. This is implemented through an Applescript in Automator. So this can be extended/improved/hacked by the many textmate users who are, no doubt, more proficient in Applescript than me. Edit in Textmate will open any file or folder selected in Finder in Textmate. Folders open to Projects. These services show up when contextually appropriate (i.e. when you have text selected it will be in your right click menu). To install unzip, and put the two files in ~/Library/Services. You may need to go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Services and make sure the box next to each of them is checked for them to show up in your context menu. These are written using Automator's new Create Service function in Snow Leopard, so are 64 bit compatible. I have no idea if they would work in 10.5.

Hmmm, 1509 or 1510?

by Nicholas Knight

Hi all, Is anyone else getting r1509 from the automatic updater (set to "minor updates"), but seeing 1510 on macromates.com? And it's not just a typo in the site, the build there really does have a revision number of 1510, but its changelog only shows to 1509. Slightly confused, -NK

Textmate and Mecurial

by rgreen

I have setup textmate as the default editor in terminal. so, when I type 'hg commit' it opens textmate. I enter the message on the first line after the headers and hit save and close textmate and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Textmate-and-Mecurial-tp25216773p25216773.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

spaces and tabs and reformatting

by Scott Haneda

If I have for example this code: function foo() { var list = []; } Note there is 4 spaces indention. I work in 5 spaces soft tabs. If I move the cursor to just before the "v" in "var", and left arrow, I move to the left one space. Somehow, I need to reformat this code to be 5 spaces. Then when I move the arrow to the left, it moves 5 spaces, or one apparent tab stop. I have tried selecting the code, while I have my tabs set to 5, hard or soft, using reformat selection, in this case, in the JavaScript bundle area, or, convert spaces to tabs. Neither gets me where I need to be. I end up re-tabbing all the code, which is a tedious process. I I just add one space, or select the 4 spaces and replace with a tab, I get the functionality I want: function foo() { var list = []; } That example, the space before the "v" becomes a tab, either hard or soft. Thanks. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *

Snow Leopard and master file issue

by Jerome Lefebvre

Hello, Thanks for posting how to fix all the other issues with Snow Leopard, but I haven't seen anything about master files in Latex mode. So, I have my latex file split up in several files and on top of each separate file I have; !TEX root = [...]thesis.tex And under Snow leopard, textmate seems to be ignoring that line (i.e. compiling with or without that line gives me the same error) Any idea about this issue? Thanks again, Jerome

General things I should know, but don't

by Scott Haneda

I spent yesterday watching a handful of screencasts for learning jquery. I was shown perhaps 5 or more editors, and started to see value in workflows I am not able to replicate. I'm sure I'm just missing some prefs, pointers appreciated. Vertical grid on tab stops. How do I turn this on? Seeing where a statement begins and then closes at a glance is very powerful. In jquery with all the parens and brackets, this visual alignment would help a lot. I think this may not be possible. I figured I could get by with show invisibles. I'm not seeing tabs or spaces, just returns. I would also want to set returns and spaces to the same bg color to hide them. Too much noise. I tried multiple themes, I can not get invisibles to show other than returns, which I don't need to see anyway. Code reformatting. If I take any small chunk of jquery, select it, navigate to the bundle for JavaScript and tell it to reformat the code, it more or less reformats to a few lines. What am I doing wrong? Indenting. If sample code is copied in with say, 1 or 2 spaces used as indents, and I like to use 5 soft tabs, I'm finding no way to adjust that code to my tab stops. I end up retabbing it by hand. Next up would be where the open or close brace or paren is thought to be. I see I can get a blink on some parens but not others. What are the rules that define this blinking and can it be expanded? Also, the blinking is not quite enough for me. Having the actual open and close characters actively highlighted when your cursor is to the left or right, massively helpful to me. Current word highlighting. If a variable, class, method etc are clicked on, how can I get all occurances of that word also highlighted. Projects. I don't often get a chance to clone down an entire site and work locally. Is it correct there is no way to get a remote FTP based site to remember code folding or work in a project? I would be happy to figure out how to drag a window into a tab from a remote site, that would go a long ways. I don't always get ssh access, and I'm sure some will suggest expandrive. To be honest, I've tried it. There are too many reports of it failing on FTP to even list a directory. I worry it may delete remote files. I worked a little with the expandrive people, giving them access to an FTP server that matched the issues many others were reporting, currently still seeing broken behavior. I'm a little stubborn in that if I'm going to use a tool, I would want to use it everywhere, not just on ssh connections. Jumping from one toolset to another tends to take my brain too long to shift back into being productive. Saving. Is there a way to get save to have the entire filename selected? The trailing .html is something I'm always having to trim off. Usually I just command-A then start typing. Looking to save a step. Is there a way to select the current line only up to the first and last characters?like select word, but for a line. Is there a way to tell a line to best guess the correct indent level, and shove it in place? I have a feeling some of these issues have solutions and I just don't know where to look. Others i suspect I may be stuck on. Looking for any old hats that have been down this road before. Thanks. As a side note, watching some of these screencasts, I can certainly say, TM's features certainly should be adopted by other editors, I don't know how some people get by. If I had to put two items on a list, vertical tab grid lines and remote conection meta data saved would be pretty high up there. Thanks everyone. -- Scott Iphone says hello.

Latex and SL : Could not open to check for packages ????

by Alain Matthes

Hi, I install snow leopard (update) but now I can't compile LaTeX document with textMate I get : Could not open to check for packages This is most likely a problem with TM_LATEX_MASTER After installing snow, the symbolic link /usr/texbin is destroyed so cd /usr sudo ln -s ../Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/ i386 texbin Upgrading to Snow Leopard also remove /usr/texbin from my default PATH. I create a text file named TeX with contents /usr/texbin and then I move this file to /etc/paths.d. I give this file read-write permission for everyone Well now I can compile with TexShop and from the terminal but not with textmate I read some tickets on the net and after that, I rename tm_interactive_input.dylib in textmate.app and in the pristine copy, now I can compile but I would like to know if this solution is correct? Best Regards Alain Matthes
