Textmate is great to work with, if you are using it on your mac. The moment
you have a file on a remote server though, things get tough, at least with
MacFuse using SSH.
Here are the most prominent problems:
- It is impossible to import a directory. You have to import the files
individually into the project. I don't know why this is the case, but sadly
it seems nothing can be done about it.
- Saving a file takes ages and locks up textmate. I have no problem if
saving the file takes time, after all it is going across a network. What I
don't understand though is why textmate has to lock itself up while it is
saving a file.
But maybe I am going the wrong way about it altogether for working with
remote files?

Hi all,
for easier navigating with throught tex file and pdf with pdfsync, I
want to write one sentence per line in my tex document.
I wrote the a snippet inserting '.\n' with the key equivalent . (<dot>).
As I want it to apply to and only to the scope "text.tex.latex", I
had to set the scope selector to:
text.tex.latex - string - source - meta - entity - support - comment
to avoid to insert a line in lists, comments, etc...
Although it works well, I'm pretty sure there is a simpler scope
selector for this task.
If not, here is a feature request for TM2: Alow more complex scope
selection, with wildcards/jokers/regexps, or anything else...
please ;-)

Hi All,
I am creating snippets and I was wondering if there is a way to force tabs
to follow similar lines...
Sample
Snippet 1
mytext -> -> -> Text
Snippet 2
(listens to line above and uses the tabs necessary to align Text in next
line
mytexttwo -> -> Text
So it would look like this:
mytext -> -> -> Text
mytexttwo -> -> Text
I can create two different snippets that use 1 or 2 or 3 tabs as neccesary
but since i will never know what mytext will be I need to create the tabs in
some kind of dynamic way.
Any ideas?
I must be missing something really obvious here but I don't know how
to do this most basic thing:
(1) Drag a folder onto TM icon to open as project
(2) Open an HTML file called index.html
-- Now here's the part that throws me ---
(3) Make a new file called index2.html based on the original index.html
My first instinct is to right click on the file in the project drawer
and look for "duplicate file" or something similar - no such option
exists. So the next thing I try is opening the file and using "Save
as" to make the new file. This actually works but something weird
happens: In the drawer, it has the effect of *renaming* my original
file rather than adding a new one. If I switch to another
application and then back to TM, the original file reappears. Is
this expected behavior?
So what's the preferred method of creating a new file starting with a
copy of an existing one?
Thanks!

Hi guys and gals,
I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good command line
ftp client - ideally I want something that I can use much like rsync
but that works over ftp. ie. I want to upload entire directory
trees. (and I don't think I can do this with the default ftp client,
but I'd love to be shown wrong)
Thanks.,

Hi all,
I'm attempting to write a command which uses the scope for input as in the
"Scope based customization" screencast, but I'm running into a strange
issue. Even though the scope does appear to be correctly managing when my
command is allowed to run the input to my command is always the whole
document (unless I have a selection in the correct scope, in which case I
get the correct selection).
I'm running the 30 day trial of Textmate: Version 1.5.5 (1368)
Any advice about what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello,
I am writing a bundle for Spice-like circuit simulator input files.
For these text files, one of the rules is to have the first line as a
comment, no matter what is on the line. I was wondering how this
could be incorporated into the language grammar to set the
appropriate scope for the first line.

Hi everyone,
<not very interesting context>
I'm currently working with a software called OpenMusic. It's based on
an extension of Lisp and make massive use of CLOS.
I thus often have to define new classes. I don't know if it's CLOS or
OpenMusic related, but class slots definition are quite ineffective.
Typically, defining a class in OM would look like
(defclass* name (superclasses)
((<slot name> :accessor <slot name> :initarg :<slot name> :initform
<default value> :type <type of the slot>
:documentation "<obscure string>"))
)
The boring part, that is slot definition, could of course benefit a
lot of snippets. Typically, a <enter> short cut (or is it <return> ?
Well, the keypad one.), as in LaTeX itemize environment, would be
perfect.
So I'd like to define and extension of the Lisp language to match my
need. I already had a slight problem and expect more to come (like
when I started to write one for the GP language).
So here is the first one that I met. As you can see above, class are
usually defined by defclass* instead of defclass.
I didn't find in the documentation how to match the * character.
Escaping the * with \, as in
{ name = 'meta.class.lisp.openmusic';
match = '(\b(defclass|defclass\*)\b)(\s+)((\w|\-|\!|\?)*)';
captures = {
2 = { name = 'storage.type.class.lisp.openmusic'; };
4 = { name = 'entity.name.class.lisp.openmusic'; };
# Of course, there are still plenty of things missing.
};
apparently won't work. What did I wrote wrong in that part ? It's
just the meta.function.lisp rewritten and it does what expected when
used with "defclass".
Thanks for your help,
Édouard
PS : I know I could perfectly avoid such troubles by creating a tab
triggered snippet, but that's just a nice occasion to get in TM
languages definition a bit further.
I've mapped my Caps Lock key to act as the Ctrl key (in Keyboard &
Mouse preferences > Modifier Keys...). Problem is, not all TextMate
combos work with this.
[Hear me now, believe me later. I had an old Sun keyboard that was
laid out this way, and it's the only way to fly. Especially on the
MacBook Pro where the normal Ctrl key is quite inconvenient to hit.]
For example: Paste From History Ctrl-Option-Command-V. Works fine
with normal Ctrl key, but does not work with Caps Lock used as Ctrl.
Another example: Select Bundle Item... Ctrl-Command-T works fine
both ways, however.
Perhaps there's something deep in TextMate's key processing code
that's only looking directly at the Ctrl key, and not seeing the
system-remapped Caps Lock key?
Thanks for your attention!
Jon
