Insert as Snippet indentation weirdness

by Fred B

Hi, I noticed some weird indentation problem when using "Insert as Snippet" as the output for a command. I reduced it to a simple test case (at least I hope): Make a command with Output: "Insert as Snippet" Command: echo -n "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" Example text: ✂------✂------✂------✂------ - list1 [tab]- indented list2 paragraph 1 paragraph 2 ✂------✂------✂------✂------ If I select the text somewhere in the first line to the end and run the command, nothing changes, which is good. If I select the text somewhere after the tab in the second line to the end I get this: ✂------✂------✂------✂------ - test list [tab]- test indented list [tab]paragraph 1 [tab]paragraph 2 ✂------✂------✂------✂------ If I use "Replace selected text" instead, this doesn't happend. So, if I understand this right: When a command inserts a snippet on a indented line, everything in the snippet is indented. Why? Just in case, I deselected "Re-indent pasted text" in the prefs, still the same. Am I missing something? Thanks -- FredB

prefix , suffix lines ala BBEdit in TextdMate?

by smarks.other

Hi, I was wondering if there's an easy to to prefix or suffix selected lines with a string. Anyone who has used BBEdit will know what I am taking about. I assume there is a way to do this, but I was hoping to avoid regular expressions other overly complex gyrations. Thanks in advance.

Open Document in Running Browsers/Refresh in Firefox

by Nathan Koch

I've found this topic a few times in the archives, but never came up with a definitive answer. I'm using Textmate for basic XHTML/CSS/JavaScript editing and while Camino and Safari happily pop right up when I choose "Open Document in Running Browser(s)" and Refresh when I pick "Refresh Running Browser(s)" but Firefox responds a bit differently. It doesn't respond at all to "Open Document in Running Browser(s)" and Refresh Running Browser(s)" just opens a new, empty, window or tab. It's a bit frustrating as Firefox is my browser of choice for working on sites, thanks of course to the Web Development plugin among others. Any advice?

New: insert Excel table as LaTeX table. (big time saver)

by Alex Mason

Hi all. I've just finished the 0.1 release of a command I've been working on tonight, based on Tom Counsell's (http://tom.counsell.org/view/ ExcelToLatexTableConvertor) excel2latex, that will take an excel table from clipboard (copy from excel. doesn't work for selected text yet.) and run by typing excel[tab] (excel⇥'). It requires that the longtable package is included, but if you're working with tables, you'll probably want that anyway. This isn't perfect, you'll probably want to change the '\begin{longtable}{c c c c c c }' to format the rows how you like, but it seems to work for me. let me know what you think. I know this saves me a lot of time, so I hope it will for you too. Cheers, Al. ☠☢✯☢☠

Re-done Objective-C Bundle Screencast

by Joachim Mårtensson

I re-did my screencast, more volume, more to the point, better display size (800x600). hopefully not too incomprehensible http://home.mac.se/joachimm/TextMateObjCScreenCast.mov Joachim Mårtensson.

[Latex] file paths

by Helge Hartmann

Hello! Two Problems on the Latex bundle. I have a project structure like this: -Projectfolder projectmain.tex (master file) -- subfolder1 -- file_1_1.tex -- file_1_2.tex -- subfolder 2 -- file_2_1.tex When I now drag file file_1_2.tex into file_2_1.tex, I get \include{../subfolder1/file_1_2.tex} The problem is, that I´get an error, because the file can not be found. The file path has to be \include{subfolder1/file_1_2.tex} because it depends on the master file. But when I then invoke the command "Show outline", the file file_1_2.tex is not found, because it expects the path as the first statement. Another problem is, that latex does not typeset the files, that where included. Why does the drag command produce a include command? Helge

Different Colors for different error message severities ??? How to ???

by Greg Hauptmann

Hi, Is there a way to setup Textmate (for Ruby on Rails development) such that when I'm "tailing" the error log I will get different line colors for errors based on the severity of the error? Eg - logger.error ('xxx') => RED - logger.warning ('xxx') => ORANGE - etc Thanks in advance Greg

HOWTO: Write powerful snippets

by F. Gabriel Gosselin

Hi, I'm looking for a way to crate a simple snippet so that tab completion: //(tab) will insert CSS comments and wrap any text on the line if applicable. I've got so far as this: /* ${1:${TM_CURRENT_LINE/(^\s+)(.+;)/$2/g}} */ $2 Which when you feed something like: //(tab)some-property: some-value; Produces output: /* some-property: some-value; */ some-property: some-value; What I would like is to delete the second instance. Is there any way? Or, will I just have to settle for selecting the text and create a key equivalent snippet (which means I have one snippet for plain comment and another for wrapping...). Oh and one other question about snippets: in the sequence ${«tab stop»/«regexp»/«format»/«options»} what are the options? I stuck with g because that's what I had seen. thanks in advance, Gabriel
