As we've discussed before, the current compiler selection logic (in the Typeset & View command) is a bit of a mess. Below is a suggestion for how it might be rationalised. Once we've agreed on a plan, I'm happy to implement it. One complication is that it's sometimes useful to have compilation under the control of a custom script – either one that you've written for your specific project, or a generic compilation tool such as latexmk. The way that TeXShop deals with this is to have special program-designators "mytex" and "mylatex", which signify that a user-specified compilation script should be used. I propose that we adopt this mechanism. The first task is to decide on the compilation route to use. This will be one of: tex, latex, pdftex, pdflatex, xetex, xelatex, mytex, mylatex. I propose trying the following things, in order: 1. Use the %!TEX TS-program specification in the source file. 2. Use the %!TEX TS-program specification in the master file. 3. Use the value of the $TM_LATEX_PROGRAM variable. 4. Sniff for \usepackage commands that suggest (DVI)latex/xelatex should be used. 5. Default to pdflatex. If the resulting value is mytex/mylatex, then: 1. Use the script specified in the variable $TM_LATEX_MYTEX or $TM_LATEX_MYLATEX, 2. Use the script specified in the TeXShop configuration, if any: defaults read TeXShop TexScriptCommand defaults read TeXShop LatexScriptCommand 3. Give up, explaining why. So, the variables $TM_LATEX_COMPILER and $TEX_PSTRICKS would no longer be used. For backwards compatibility, we could continue to allow the value of $TM_LATEX_COMPILER to trump all other considerations (perhaps with a warning in the compilation window to the effect that this variable is deprecated, and explaining the new way to do it). Any thoughts? Robin

project drawer

by l b

Hi, I really love TextMate but I hate drawers... I just tried Coda (http://www.panic.com/coda) and I like its nice UI so, there is any plan to implement a sidebar like that instead of the actual TextMate project drawer? In addition, I'd like to have multiples sidebars like: - project sidebar - local/remote file browser sidebar - class/symbol browser sidebar - custom sidebar Luca

Flex 2 Bundle

by Dave Grijalva

Calling all flex/flash/as developers: We need to come up with a unified bundle design for these technologies. I talked about about this with Allan and it sounds like there are several people working on these same things. Here are my recomendations: AS3 bundle: Should contain ActionScript 3 language syntax, snippets, etc. that are relevant only to AS3 as a language. (just as the ruby bundle only contains ruby stuff and not rails stuff). Flex2 bundle: Should contain any extensions to the AS3 bundle that are relevant to flex. Should contain MXML language syntax, snipptets, etc. Should contain MXML and AS3 templates for new applications and components. Should contain commands to build components and applications using the flex2 framework standalone lib. ("FlexMate") Thoughts? Ideas? Improvements? -dave

Start/Stop Rails Server?

by Ryan Galgon

I'm looking for a way to start/stop the rails server (ruby script/server) from TextMate. Ideally having the output popup and tail in a new window. I've been trying to find a way to do this or to create an addition to the bundle to do this but I've just started using TextMate (2 days) and as such haven't had much luck. One thing I tried was just having a command run 'ruby script/server' and having the output as HTML but it didn't work. Thanks -- Ryan Galgon rgalgon(a)gmail.com

Multiple arguments in tm_dialog

by Brett Terpstra

I know this was briefly covered once, but I'm afraid I'm not getting it. If I want to return two arguments with returnArgument:, how do I change the name of the selector to pass them? Thanks, Brett

Command for quoting text?

by Daryl Spitzer

Is there a Mac OS X sh command for quoting text (to Internet-standard)? I'm writing a "Save to URL" command to complement the Twiki bundle "Open URL" command I described in a previous email, and I need to convert all the "special characters" in the entire document to the '%xx' quoted form so I can append it to a URL. If there is no such thing, I'll write a Python script instead. -- Daryl

TM Find Dialog Enhancement (?)

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Dear all, I don't know whether this is a common feature request. But nevertheless, ... ;) (I also found nothing about it in this mailing list.) Would it be possible to add the following feature to the normal Find dialog? Given a string "c( 1, 22, 333 , 4444 )" in a line. I want to highlight item by item ('1', '22', etc.) by using the normal Find function (APPLE+G). To do so I would write for instance this regexp: [,$] {0,}(.*?) {0,}[,$] The problem is that the current Find function doesn't select only the content of the regexp group '(.*?)', it also highlight the commas and brackets. My suggestion would be to change the Find function in such a way, that if there is at least one group specified by '()' within the regexp it only highlight the content of it. It also could select all occurrences of it at ones, if desired. This could be chosen with two options within the Find dialog, e.g. 'Match only group' and 'Match all groups'. I don't know whether it would cost much effort to do this, but I'd find it quite useful to have such a option. Of course, one coud write a separate command using 'Insert Snippet' but 'Insert Snippet' has some limitations. Or is there an other way to do it with TM? Thanks, Hans

my markdown lost it's link

by Samuel DeVore

So somewhere along the line did the default markdown bundle loose the snippets for links? The menu structure seems to be in the bundle editor, but both the bundle in the app package and in svn seems to of lost the links? Am I going bonkers here? Sam D

R request: tab moves through list when cursor in collection

by Timothy Bates

Hi there, Just playing with the R console mode. It's nice, so thanks to the writers! I often want to edit collections (R lists), and it would be nice if tabbing inside a collection had the action of moving the selection to the next item in the list. Would it be possible to write a command (to hard for a snippet, I think) which takes over the tab key when there is no snippet bound to it, and detects if the user is in a c(x,y,..) structure, and selects the next item in the list? So if the cursor is in item 1 like this > a = c(1|11,222) Then hitting tab would move to highlight all of item 2. Preferably hitting shift-tab would move to the next previous item, or in front of the collection if already at the head. PS: One thing that keeps me in R, is the useful last command function (like in tcsh, hitting "up" and "down" scrolls through a command history, replacing the current line. Is it possible to scan the doc, make a list of lines, and just give this as a drop down menu when up is hit hit?
