Easy way to open and see two files in a project at once?

by Steven Rowat

Hi, Working in a TM project, I often have this problem: I want to compare code with another file in the project. I want to see them both at once; possibly to edit one or the other or both. Then I find I can only look at one of the files at a time - the second file always opens in place of the first one, inside the project. I have to trust my memory about what the first file said. Bad idea, usually. :-) My current workaround is to create a new document, and copy code from the second file into it, so it can float beside the project. But this is a poor replacement for two active windows; takes several steps, and only one of the files can be edited actively. I could also close the project, and open both files. Again, a poor workaround. Is there any other way? If not, is there anyone else who'd agree this would be a nice feature for 2.0? Especially this happens with CSS cascade files, where I need to choose how the same parameters are controlled at different levels. Steven Rowat

Help - TextMate for beginner

by Joe Kuan

Hi all, I got a Mac Book Pro and this is my first time using Mac. I have been using the evaluated version of TextMate and found couple problems: 1) The top folder in the drawer occasionally closes when I switch to a space and back. It doesn't remember which folders that I have previously opened. 2) I have read the key binding help pages for page up/down keys. However, I seriously cannot find the page up/down keys on my Mac book pro keyboard. What is the alternative? 3) Will the split screen editing include in the next release? I find it difficult without such feature. Many thanks in advance. Joe

Anyway to pre-populate the CommitWindow dialog?

by Tim Harper

Hi all, I'm working on implementing an "Ammend Commit" feature to the git textmate bundle. Anyone around here know if it's possible to pre- populate the message? I'm trying to do is make it populated with the text from the previous commit. Thanks! Tim

Ruby help (ri) lookup frustrated by duplicated entries

by Fritz Anderson

Doing a ⌃H document lookup in a Ruby on Rails file won't lead me to the desired documentation. Instead, the lookup disambiguation menu loops infinitely. This is, I assume, a problem with my Ruby installation, but it particularly bites me in TextMate, and I hope someone here can point me to a solution. I am running Ruby 1.8.6 (supplied with Leopard), Rails 1.2.6 (supplied with Leopard), ri 1.0.1 - 20041108, and TextMate 1.5.7 (1455). I am not aware of having installed any additional Ruby or Rails. If I type "delete" in a Ruby on Rails document, and press ⌃H to look it up in the documentation, I find among the many choices "ActiveRecord::Base::delete". Selecting that does not produce the documentation window, but shows a second context menu containing: ActiveRecord::Base::delete 1 ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all 2 ActiveRecord::Base::delete 3 ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all 4 Selecting one of these simply reopens the menu, and I'm stymied. I can't get my documentation. "ri delete" on the command line produces a list in which every entry is duplicated. Refining to ActiveRecord::Base::delete shows ActiveRecord::Base::delete, ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all, ActiveRecord::Base::delete, ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all … and once again, I'm stymied. That's why I conclude it's a Ruby/ Rails installation problem. I'm not experienced enough to trace it. Can anyone offer/point me to a fix? — F

accidental folded code deletion

by Benjamin Snyder

Hi, Has anyone else found that it's far too easy to accidentally delete folded code in textmate (without noticing!)? Several times I've found that the body of functions I thought I had safely folded away seemed to just disappear, because I must have accidentally hit backspace onto the "...". Obviously this could lead to disaster -- does anyone know of a way to disable deletion of folded text? If I can't find a solution to this problem I may have to stop using textmate for coding (which would be a shame, because otherwise I like it). thanks, Ben
