Remapping the Option Key (column editing)

by Barron Chugg

I don't work with column editing much at all, but I do instinctively use "select, drag, option key" to copy text. But most of the time my clicking option gets me into column select mode. Is there a way to remap the "select column" off of option so it'll just drag-and-copy for me? Thanks.

how to change font for a "logger*" line??? (e.g. to de-emphasis logging lines in Ruby code)

by Greg Hauptmann

Hi, Any tips on how to change the format of a line of Ruby based on it's content? In particular I was wanting to try deemphasize logging lines (i.e. starting with "logger.*") by setting the text font to a gray. Any ideas/tips would be great. Couldn't seem to see when it would be possible to do this in the bundle manager. Tks Greg

Default color for Embedded Source

by Trevor Harmon

TextMate has a syntax element called "Embedded Source", which is used for things like the lstlisting environment in LaTeX or JavaScript code embedded in HTML. The default background color for this element is a light blue, which is almost identical to the light blue used for selected text. Because of the similarity, I always get confused and think I've inadvertently selected some embedded source. I'm wondering why there is such a similarity between these colors. Was it deliberate (and if so, what was the reason?) or was this an oversight? Trevor

TextMate & LaTeX via MacPorts

by Christopher W. MacMinn

Hey folks - I'm trying to get up-and-running with TextMate, which I will be using primarily for LaTeX-ing, and I'm having some troubles. I've been using LaTeX installed via MacPorts/DarwinPorts for a few months now, so I'd prefer to get TM working with that if possible rather than abandoning it for MacTex (unless there is really and truly a good reason to do so). The main problem I'm having is that when I call the "Insert Label/ Citation Based on Current Word" command, TM spits out "The tex binaries cannot be located!" I assume this means that I have not properly told TM where to find my LaTeX installation, but I can't figure out how to do so. I tried creating a PATH environment variable equal to the output of "echo $PATH" in Terminal, but I don't think it helped. Sorry... either I'm doing something dumb or I'm just not unix-y enough to understand what's going on here. Any suggestions? Thanks very much! Best - Chris MacMinn

Python bundle question/possible bug...

by Fabry Nicholas F.

Hi - I was looking over the Python language definition, and I came upon a regex that I don't understand - or, it might be a bug. The regex is in the FoldingStartMarker: <key>foldingStartMarker</key> <string>^\s*(def|class)\s+([.a-zA-Z0-9_ b]+)\s*($(.*)$)?\s*:|\{\s* $|\(\s*$|\[\s*$|^\s*"""(?=.)(?!.*""")</string> The key mysterious part is right in the first character class, which I believe is designed to pick out the name of the class/def in question: [.a-zA-Z0-9_ b]+ Okay, I get it up until the ' b' part. Essentially, the name of a class or def is a series of characters that are in a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or are '_' or '.' . What's the point of the ' b' part? Was this meant to be '\b', signifying a word boundary? Or is there some deeper meaning to space b that I don't understand? Please forgive if this is not an appropriate place for this question; I am rather new (well, completely and totally new) to the use of mailing lists. Brilliant program, btw - it takes time to appreciate it. Nick

how to highlight all occurances of a given string in the file being viewed???

by Greg Hauptmann

Hi, Is there a way to highlight all occurances (e.g. in yellow say) of a particular piece of text? Say a variable name for example? Ideally also is there a way to, once such a variable is highlighted through-out the file, you can change it in one place and it automatically changes it in real time in other places in the file (I know I had this in Jbuilder). Tks Greg

[Blogging]Problem with cat-Snippet

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi! Now I sit at my laptop because my other computer is right now not available, my blog is set up here exactly (at least I think so) like at my working-computer and if I use the cat-Snippet from the blogging bundle I get the following behaviour and error: TextMate tries to contact the blog for fetching the items and then I get the error /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:403:in `call': XMLRPC::FaultException (XMLRPC::FaultException) from /tmp/temp_textmate.xQsjEh:27 from /tmp/temp_textmate.xQsjEh:24:in `call' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:36:in `call_with_progress' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:32:in `call' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:43:in `call_with_progress' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:40:in `dialog' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:40:in `call_with_progress' from /tmp/temp_textmate.xQsjEh:24 Any help appreciated Niels

escape-key for completion in latex

by Claus Haslauer

Hi, I am trying to follow this approach in the latex-help file: In the case where what is expected is a label, then pressing escape will similarly offer all matching labels from the TeX document. Depending on your naming conventions, this could for instance offer a list of all theorems: If the labels for theorems are all of the form thm:labelname, and you have included the colon (:) in the list of word characters in TextMate’s preferences, then pressing escape when the caret is right before the closing brace in \ref{thm} will offer as completion options all labels corresponding to theorems. If there are many matching completions, it is often more convenient to use the pull-down-list versions of the commands, which are triggered by ⌥⎋. I do have ":_" (just a colon and an underscore, no quotations)in the preference pane as Word Characters. Is this ok or do they need to be separated / in quotations / ... ? Neither pressing <escape> nor <escape> + <alt> while the caret is right in front of the closing bracket in latex mode, doesn't do anything. Now, I looked into the bundle editor, into the latex bundle in my installation: 1) <escape> is the key equivalent for bibdesk completion 2) <alt>+<escape> is the key equivalent for "Citation based on Current Word / Selection" AND for "Label Based on Current Word / Selection" --- this seems a little weird to me. Is this how it should be originally? Or have I changed this accidently at some point? I remember a time when hitting <escape> (I think) actually has worked and I used "eqn:" and "fig:" for labeling and referencing equations and figures, respectively. Should the difference between <alt>+<escape> and <escape> only that <alt>+<escape> should offer a pull-down list and hitting <escape> multiple times would move through the possible choices? Is this something that got changed over the releases (I am working with cutting edge)? That leads me to another question: when a bundle gets updated in the bundle repository... do those changes get updated in each new (cutting edge) release or would I check them out and update them as I would with any other "default" bundle? Thanks for your help, Claus

LateXCommandCompletions.rb

by Alain Matthes

Hello:) 1) I know that my use of Latex is different from the majorities of the users because I create especially packages. I need to have a really different completion. I need for example : newcommand renewcommand RequirePackage newcounter setcounter stepcounter newlength etc.. for xkeyval define@cmdkey define@boolkey presetkeys.... for ifthen ifthenelsee etc.... etc... I would like to know the good way to obtain this Is it necessary that I modify LateXCommandCompletions.rb ? 2) But I do not understand why in the LateXCommandCompletions.rb, there are words like pi, Pi, lim etc ... words with 2 or 3 letters ? Which is the interest to complement these words? greetints alain
