Is it possible to define a shell variable by referencing another shell variable? Here's an example of what I am trying to do: (These are project variables) TM_FLEX_ROOT=$TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/flex TM_SERVICES=$FLEX_ROOT/config/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml Thanks Todd

Improving the Erlang bundle: Start and Stop matching at different levels

by Mickael Remond

Hello, I have been playing with the existing Erlang bundle to improve it a bit and I have trouble adding code folding. Here is a simple Erlang function: start(Var) -> test(Var), %% Comment ok. The last dot marks the end of the function. I know that the end of the function is not at the same indent level that the start marker, but this is always the case in Erlang. I try to match the end marker, with any number of spaces / tabs at the beginning of the line but at best, start and stop marks are put in place but not foldable. I suppose this is because Textmate does some checks on the number of spaces or tabs but is there a way to ignore this match ? If not, is there an estimated release date for this feature ? Thank you ! -- Mickaël Rémond http://www.process-one.net/

Adding new TODO scope across languages?

by Dan Sandler

As a recovering vimaholic, I miss special highlighting of (FIXME|TODO| XXX) in my source. (I realize that I can get a list of TODOs with C- S-t, but it's nice to have things like "XXX: broken" or "FIXME dsandler:" leap out at me as I'm skimming code.) I seem to be able to hack these rules into individual languages; for example, in Python, I changed the comment.line.number-sign.py pattern thusly: { name = 'comment.line.number-sign.py'; begin = '#'; end = '$'; patterns = ( { name = 'todo.todo'; match = '(TODO)( \S*:|:?)'; }, { name = 'todo.fixme'; match = '(FIXME)( \S*:|:?)'; }, { name = 'todo.xxx'; match = '(XXX)( \S*:|:?)'; }, { name = 'todo.changed'; match = '(CHANGED)( \S*:|:?)'; }, ); }, (This seemed to require changing Python's line-comment pattern from a 'match' to a begin/end kind of thing.) With these scopes, you can now set all TODOs to a given color, or pick different colors for each, etc. (perhaps matching the colors up with those in the "Show TODO List" command). So, is there any way to apply this kind of new scope to to (comments in) all languages at once, or do I (or the TextMate BDFL) have to go and integrate it into each one by hand? Thanks, --ds

crtl-esc not activating - my solution

by ira cary blanco

Hello everyone, The short story is that running ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) Client is the culprit that is stealing the key sequence. I don't know why ARD steals the key sequence, but turning it off (System Preference - under Sharing) eliminates this problem for me. I'd like to run the ARD client, so if anyone knows how to have the ARD client run without it stealing the crtl-esc key sequence, I'd like to hear about it. I hope this ends the problem for others as well. peace, icb Ira Cary Blanco Marketing & Media Samson Technologies Corp.

MODx Syntax Highlighting

by Max

Hi, I've been using TM for quite some time now and it's a great editor. The last weeks I had to write some code for a site using MODx (www.modxcms.com) MODx uses some special tags: [[Snippet]] [!Noncaching-Snippet!] {{Chunk}} [~link~] [*attribute*] I added some code to the HTML-Bundle for recognizing this which works quite good. modx = { patterns = ( { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.snippet'; begin = '(\[\[)(\w*)(.*?)'; end = '(\]\])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.snippet'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.snippet'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.snippet.nocache'; begin = '(\[\!)(\w*)(.*?)'; end = '(\!\])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.nocachesnippet'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.snippet.nocache'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.link'; begin = '(\[\~)(\w*)'; end = '\~\]'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.link'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.snippet.nocache'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.setting'; begin = '(\[$)(\w*)'; end = '($\])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.setting'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.setting'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.chunk'; begin = '({{)(\w*)'; end = '(}})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.chunk'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.chunk'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.attribute'; begin = '(\[\*)(\w*)'; end = '(\*\])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.attribute'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.attribute'; }; }; }, { name = 'variable.parameter.modx'; match = '(&\w+)='; }, { name = 'string.quoted.modx'; begin = '`'; end = '`'; }, { name = 'invalid.illegal.modx.bad-snippetcall'; match = '(\[[\[\!])(\w+)(\s+)(.+?)([\!\]]\])'; }, ); }; Now my problem is: There are some Snippet-calls which take parameters: [[Snippet? &parameter=`value` &parameter2=`value2`]] I tried to define the parameters as variable.parameter.modx and the values as string.quoted.modx but TM doesn't seem to recognize this. Also when I write a MODx Tag into a html-string (e.g. <a href="[(base_url)]">...) TM will ignore it. Last I tried to highlight invalid snippet calls (e.g. [[Snippet &param... (missing ?) or [[Snippet? &param='foo' (normal quotation mark)) but this won't work either. Can you tell me what I did wrong? :) Regards Max Lohrmann

Strange whitespace behaviour?

by Sven Fuchs

I'd be super-happy if someone could help me with the following Textmate behaviour. a. The cursor is in any line that has more characters than the previous line, like so: line 1 | ¬ line 2 | 12345¬ When the cursor is at the end (column 6) of line 2 and moved up one line then it stays in column 6, i.e. behind the ¬ end-of-line marker of line 1. Like this: line 1 | ¬ x line 2 | 12345¬ b. When now return/enter is hit so that a new line gets inserted then there are also spaces inserted (filling up the place between the end- of-line marker and the previous place of the cursor) in line 1. line 1 | ¬ line 2 | ¬ line 3 | 12345¬ Is there any reasoning behind this? It feels really strange to me and conflicts with several editing habits of mine. While editing code the insertion of whitespace in line 1 actually leads to masses of whitespace cluttered all over the place. I can't imagine that this is intentional. :) Any hints? -- sven fuchs fon: +49 (58 45) 98 89 58 artweb design fax: +49 (58 45) 98 89 57 breite straße 65 www: http://www.artweb-design.de de-29468 bergen mail: svenfuchs(a)artweb-design.de -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Markdown with Textmate and Spotlight: What file extension is best?

by Tom Offermann

(This isn't specifically a Textmate question, but I know a lot of Textmate users use Markdown, so I was hoping someone could help.) How do I name Markdown files so that they are: 1) Recognized automatically by Textmate as Markdown files when you open them, 2) Indexed automatically by Spotlight, 3) Use a unique extension (like .markdown) rather than a generic .txt extension? Right now, if I use the default .markdown extension, the file isn't indexed by Spotlight. If I save a Markdown file without any extension, it's neither indexed by Spotlight, nor is it recognized by Textmate as a Markdown file. A .txt extension is recognized by Textmate and indexed by Spotlight, but I was hoping to use a different file extension--one that could distinguish Markdown files from other text files. How do other people solve this problem? Thanks, Tom **

Insert Color Revised (help needed)

by Brett Terpstra

Okay, I'm trying to keep this one simple and meet my own needs at the same time. First of all, the insert color command didn't recognize abbreviated (3 character) RGB color codes. This had 2 drawbacks: The tab stop inserted by any of the CSS commands, when used in combination with Insert Color, would add an extra # sign and it wouldn't properly set the default color when it loaded the color picker. This revised command is my usual unskilled kludge, but it recognizes both 3 and 6 character rgb strings, strips the # sign if unnecessary, and if the resulting hex code is a series of double repeating characters it will abbreviate (BBAADD becomes BAD). I wanted to use squeeze to do this in Ruby, but had trouble with colors like 0000FF, where it would just give back 0F. So I made a mess of it. It works, but I'd really like to see it cleaned up (I know Haris could do this in about 4 lines of code). So if anyone has the time... It'd be great to learn a new algorithm to handle this. As a side note, I've been using Color Schemer Studio to create websmart palettes. I can drag directly from the current color selection into textmate, but it was less convenient than the color picker. So I've been creating the palettes, and then importing them into the color picker. That's where this command came from... Thanks, Brett
