Hi, Thanks for the previous help. I'm a little chagrined that they seemed obvious questions. I had looked for answers... honest. :) Anyway, I've got another use case that I could use some help with. I often ssh into another unix box, and occasionally need to edit a file while I'm there. With bbedit, I had a script that would ssh back into my mac and then open the remote file on the unix box. I'm trying to replicate that with TextMate. The closest I've found in the mailing list is this: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2006-February/008384.html My version is as follows. On the remote box I have a script called 'mate': ----- #! /bin/sh # Make sure we have the full path to the file if echo $1 | egrep ^/ - > /dev/null ; then path=$1 ; else path=`pwd`/$1 ; fi HOST=`hostname` echo Opening $path on ${SSH_CLIENT%% *} ssh willu@${SSH_CLIENT%% *} remoteOpen ${USER} ${HOST} "$path" ----- On my Mac I have this script called 'remoteOpen': ----- #!/bin/sh remUser=$1 remHost=$2 remPath=$3 remBase=`basename $remPath` remDir=`dirname $remPath` tempDir=`mktemp -d` || exit 1 localfile="${tempDir}/scp:${remHost}:${remBase}" localBackup="${tempDir}/backup" remLoc="${remUser}@${remHost}:${remPath}" echo "${remLoc}" > ${tempDir}/remLoc scp -Bpq "${remLoc}" "${localfile}" && cp "${localfile}" $ {localBackup} && osasc ript -e "tell app \"Terminal\" to do shell script \"mate -w $ {localfile}\"" if ! cmp -s "${localfile}" ${localBackup} ; then scp -Bpq "${localfile}" "${remLoc}" fi rm -rf ${tempDir} ----- I then have the following command for use within TextMate (instead of the normal 'save'): Save the current file then: ----- if [[ ${TM_FILEPATH} == */scp:* ]] ; then # this is an scp file # it has been saved by the time we get here # now just extract its remote name and scp it back localDir=`dirname $TM_FILEPATH` remLoc=`cat ${localDir}/remLoc` scp -Bpq "$TM_FILEPATH" "${remLoc}" && cp "$TM_FILEPATH" "$ {localDir}/backup" fi ----- This setup saves a backup of the remote version locally. If the local copy gets saved with the special command while you're editing, and the data is scp'd back to the other host, then the backup is updated. Otherwise, the difference is detected and the data is scp'd back to the remote box when the window is closed. Current issues: i) Most importantly, the 'mate' command doesn't work from a remote shell. This leads to the whole osascript workaround. Unfortunately, while Terminal is running a script it just queues up all the input to its other windows and waits for the script to end. This makes the current setup significantly less useful than the same setup using bbedit (where the 'bbedit' command does work from a remote terminal). ii) It would be nice if there was a way to tell textmate 'run this script when you write to that file'. Basically, make the 'mate' command have an equivalent to the ODB Editor Suite of Apple Events. I imagine some extra options like this: --title WindowTitle Start editing the new file with this window title instead of the file name as window title --onsave scriptPath When the file is saved, this script is run with the path to the file as an argument --onclose scriptPath When the file is closed (or Save As... is used to detach from the original file), this script is run with the path of the file as an argument and perhaps a final option: --on-reopen scriptPath Data This is a command line option that takes two arguments. If this file re-opened from the 'Open Recent >' menu then the script 'scriptPath' is run with 'Data' as an argument to get the path of the file to open. This set of options would allow third parties to implement the much-requested 'sftp' feature, as well as any other file access method they wanted to. Cheers, Will :-} P.S. I know - just use transmit or Cyberduck. The problem is that they require me to connect from the mac. I could modify my 'remoteOpen' script to use them instead of scp, and that would solve the 'detecting save' problem (point ii), but it wouldn't solve the worst problem, point i.

How to change scope of triple quoted strings in Python

by Ed Singleton

I'd like to be able to set the scope of triple quoted string in a python file to be html. I'd also like to be able to do it on a per project basis (but entirely if necessary). I'm doing lots of TurboGears programming at the moment and the only time I use triple quoted strings is for html fragments, so it would be great if they formatted as html and all the html snippets worked in them. Does anyone have any ideas how I can do it? Ed

GetBundle

by Andreas Wahlin

After thomas aylotts update to the CSS bundle, I've tried to run the update bundles command from the GetBundle, but nothing happens. I tried updating the Textmate supports, and then it chewed a bit then spat out lots of text saying what stuff got updated, but when I try to update bundles, nothing seems to happen. Andreas

Escape doesn't Complete anymore

by Ed Singleton

My escape key doesn't do autocompletion anymore. If I choose the menu option for it, that works, and it shows the escape character next to it. I've checked that the escape key works (it closes the Find window for example). Does anyone have any ideas how I can make it work again? Thanks Ed

Rails bundle uses an already used key binding

by Xavier Noria

In TextMate 1.5.3 (1202) the shortcut to see the DB schema of a model in Rails (that's a recent addition, see Rails -> Models -> Show DB Schema for Current Class) coincides with the one for "Save Project As...". -- fxn

Script to look up selected MacOS API

by Ryan Wilcox

Hello all, I'm starting to set up my environment to use TextMate instead of XCode's built in editor. The one thing I miss from XCode is its Code Sense. I really like having a quick reference of the API command I want. I know I want, say, to use CFBundleCopyResourceURL(), but I don't remember what to feed it. Since XCode doesn't provide a way to query for that information (thanks, Apple), I had to get it "another way". It seems that the easiest way to do that is to grep the framework header files myself. My script takes the selected word, finds it in the 10.4u SDKs, then makes a txmt:// style URL out of it, so you can click the link and go right to the proper line in the proper header file. The script is posted below. Hopefully it will be useful to you Carbon programmers out there, or maybe the kind Unix hands will see some optimization I can use to make it faster. _______________________________ find -L /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/*/Versions/Current/* | xargs grep -I -n $TM_SELECTED_TEXT | python -c "import fileinput, re ourRe = re.compile(r'(.+?):(.+?):(.+)') for each in fileinput.input(['-']): res = ourRe.match(each) if res: print '''<p><a href='txmt://open/?url=file://%s&line=%s'>%s</a></p>''' % ( res.group(1), res.group(2), res.group(3) )" _______________________________ Enjoy all!, _Ryan Wilcox -- Wilcox Development Solutions: <http://www.wilcoxd.com> Toolsmiths for the Internet Age PGP: 0x2F4E9C31

How can I make every file in a given (project) directory use shell script syntax highlighting

by William Scott

Hi folks: I am new to textmate and to the list. I have spent awhile with the manual but either I missed this or it is not in there (or maybe it can't be done). I keep all my zsh configuration files in /Library/init/zsh These include various files that are sourced, as well as shell script/ function files. Since the latter have #!/bin/zsh at the top, textmate does the right thing, but I would also like the other files, that set up my environment, define aliases, and so forth, to use the same syntax highlighting, even though they do not have #!/bin/zsh at the top. Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks. Bill

An INI grammar?

by Fritz Anderson

In hopes of figuring the language-sensitive parser out, I've been trying to make a grammar for .ini files. It appears my incomprehension is stark, as I can't get any satisfaction out of the grammar { scopeName = 'text.ini'; fileTypes = ( 'ini' ); foldingStartMarker = '^\['; foldingStopMarker = '.(?=^\[)'; } ... which I think specifies a folding range from the opening [ of a section, running to the character before the [ that begins the next section. TextMate puts a fold marker next to the section line, but no matching marker at the bottom of the section. Clicking the fold button has no effect. (Yes, the stop marker doesn't account for the end-of-file that closes the last section, but one challenge at a time.) What am I missing? -- F

Lout language definition?

by Alaric Snell-Pym

Hello there Has anyone thought about a language definition for the Lout document formatting system? I may write one myself, but I'm a bit nervous about it since Lout has an awkwardly wide range of ways of indicating the beginnings and ends of things. For example, a document header for a report might look like: @SysInclude { tbl } @SysInclude { report } @Report @Title { Blah blah } @Author { Alaric Snell-Pym (alaric(a)snell-systems.co.uk) } @Institution { Snell Systems } @InitialLanguage { EnglishUK } @DateLine { June, 2006 } @PageHeaders { Titles } @InitialSpace { tex } @Abstract { In this specification, we describe a blah blah blah. } // ...with the mysterious "//" ending the metadata section. Things like chapters, appendices, sections, subsections, and so on are delimited like so: @Section @Tag { documentcontrol } @Title { Document Control } @Begin ...content... @End @Section While paragraphs don't have an explicit end, they are just separated with "@PP" markers: @PP This is a pargraph of text, blah blah blah @PP This is the next paragraph! Whodathunk? Figures, and many other such block-level objects, have no defined ending: ...text... @Figure @Caption { The prototype } @IncludeGraphic prototype.eps ...text... While bulleted lists have an explicit @EndList marker, but each list item is delimited with curly braces: @BulletList @ListItem { 3x resistor at 4p each } @ListItem { 1x AVR micro-controller at @Sterling""1.92 each } @ListItem { 1x IrDA transceiver module at @Sterling""2.33 each } @ListItem { 1x 3.6v NiMH battery at @Sterling""2.62 each } @ListItem { 2x LED at 25p each } @ListItem { 1x Charging connector at 57p each } @ListItem { 1x socket for AVR micro-controller at 5p each } @ListItem { 1x PCB at 9.75 Euros each, or about @Sterling""6.67 } @EndList It's all rather messy! I suspect I'd be busy for days finding new ways to delimit scopes!
