When I try to execute a SVN command I get this error: /bin/bash: line 1: require_cmd: command not found Then most of the commands work fine except for svn status that gives no output. Any clue? I already checked the various enviroment variables but everything seems ok.

Double-Click on Brackets Selects Enclosing Brackets and Possible Shifting Bug

by Paul Mucur

(I am using TextMate 1.5.1 (961) on Mac OS X 10.4.6.) I see in the archives that Ke Han asked for a "bracket matching feature" on 8th March (http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/ 2006-March/008927.html) wherein a user could double-click on a bracket to select the enclosing content (ala BBEdit) but that the only way to reproduce this behaviour is via the shift-cmd B "Select Enclosing Brackets" command. Is there any way for me to implement this behaviour as I would greatly appreciate being able to select the contents of an entire bracket so easily? If not, is there any chance of it appearing in a future release of TextMate? My main use would be to quickly identify where the closing (or opening) bracket for some code lies. On another note, I have noticed what I believe is a bug when shifting lines left and right: Shifting a line to the left moves the cursor one character to the right and shifting a line to the right shifts the cursor one character to the left when I expected the cursor to remain relatively stationary. More noticeably, this means that if the cursor was at the end of the line and the user shifts left, the cursor goes to the next line. Thanks in advance, -- Paul

How does one find the key string value for a key? For instance F3. I found some unicode codes here: http://hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/Cocoa%20Text%20System.html and also this little app that tells you various codes here: http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=keycodes This program, for ctrl-escape, gave me: Unicode: 27 / 0x1b Keys: ^Escape Key Code: 53 / 0x35 Modifiers: 262401 / 0x40101 And for F3 gave me: Unicode: 63238 / 0xf706 Keys: F3 Key Code: 99 / 0x63 Modifiers: 8388864 / 0x800100 Are any of these numbers the right thing? I'm worried because I am not seeing \033 in either of these entries. Haris

Choosing from multiple options

by Teck Ninja

Hi, A newbie question. Is there any way to choose from keyboards without arrow keys when I see multiple options. For example, as in the Manual "5.1.2 Tab Trriggers", in CSS if I type list and hit tab, I see 8 options. I wanna pick one up without using arrow keys and a mouse. Sorry if this is documented in the manual. Thanks for your attention.

C comments && doxygen

by Enrico Franchi

Once I found in the Wiki a tip to let TextMate auto add * in C comments. That is to say when I press return it goes from /* * this is a comment... ro /* * this is a comment... * Unfortunately I'm not able to find it anymore. This was just a "basic" question, since manually adding * and spaces (tab is "rigid" it adds a fixed number of spaces, it does not seem to put the "right" number, that is to say the number that is needed to align with the above content). A more advanced question is: could a "Doxygen" mode be done? Is someone doing it? I suppose it is possible, since it should behave quite like the css mode inside the HTML mode or something like that? -enrico

Moving project files, or...

by Jason McC. Smith

... how I stopped worrying and learned to love absolute paths. Hey all, new (<24hrs) TextMate user, and as a recovering emacs/Alpha user, I am *LOVING* this thing. I have hopes for one use of the Projects that I can't seem to get working, and my investigations make me think that I'm just trying to abuse the poor things more than they're intended to be. Scenario: I have a large (stable) code base that I'm working with, and am doing a number of investigations into the code to figure out how the bloody thing works. It occurred to me that I might be able to use Projects as a way of tracking these investigations: 1) Drop top folder of source repository on TextMate. 2) Start digging through code, leaving windows open as tabs. 3) When I'm done, I have a list from left to right of the files I ended up looking at, and the last place I looked in them. 4) Save the project with an appropriate name related to the *topic* "DataFileSearching.tmproj" for example. 5) At later date, when I need to revisit the investigation, I have breadcrumbs of where I went, what I looked at, etc. I also have a timestamp on the Project file of the last time it was worked on. (I considered using Groups in a Project, but that doesn't give me a workset, or a timestamp.) Now the problem... if I move the Project file, it breaks all the folder references. My first thought was that after step 1, but before I open any files, I just needed to select the top level in the Project, Get Info, and then check Save as Absolute Path. I peeked into the .tmproj file, and yup, a nice absolute path was created for me. Moving the Project file resulted in it still being able to find the root of the source tree. Problem one down. Now for the second problem... if any files are open, and I save the Project, *those* paths are *NOT* saved as absolute, and instead are relative to where the .tmproj file resides. If I move the file, I lose all my breadcrumbs. Bummer. So this boils down to: am I missing something, or is this a bug to file?

Augmenting grammars in the future (was: Design of Textmate)

by Allan Odgaard

There is not, no. But a solution will appear, and is conceptually rather simple IMO. Currently the scope selector is disabled for language grammars, now imagine it wasn’t, and that selector decided where to inject the grammar! That would allow to tear out the PHP, Ruby, and Smarty handling of the HTML grammar, and instead have that with the language. Likewise it allows the mentioned FIXME/TODO grammar to be in the TODO bundle, and be injected based on a scope selector -- disabling the TODO bundle would then disable this injection automatically. There is a scope addition which will make this more powerful, namely exposing arbitrary file attributes in the scope (which scope selectors can then target), that way, the Java bundle can inject <% java %> support to HTML files only when the file type attribute is ‘jsp’, and the Subversion bundle can inject the various svn keywords only when the SCM attribute is ‘svn’. > Probably I should ask this question on the mailing list, should I? I cc’ed the mailing list, seeing how others probably would enjoy reading my reply to this (though I think I have hinted at this earlier, maybe only on IRC). I hope to have the file attributes exposed in the scope already in 2.0 (this will then also allow all SCM bundles to use the same key equivalents), but grammar injection is probably at earlist 2.1 or so… the technical challenge isn’t that big, but I would also need to extend scope selectors to allow an injection to stop after a given depth, so to speak -- and I also need to only focus on one thing at a time, to actually get anything done :) Kind regars Allan

* indents with reformat paragraph?

by Quinn Comendant

Is the functionality of Reformat Paragraph controlled by a bundle? Specifically, the way it autoindents lines after a * like this: * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo I'd like this auto-indenting to occur after a - too. Q

Delete Current Line

by Nithin Reddy

Hi. My first post. Since I haven't received any messages from the list yet (just signed up), I didn't know whether I had to prepend something like [Textmate] to the Subject line, so I didn't. I would like to to the delete the current line using Shift + Delete First Attempt... Macro Jump to beginning of current line, hit CTRL+K, hit back-delete, press down This worked OK for a while, but I ran into probems when trying to delete blank lines, and the carat position is in a less than desirable place 2nd Attempt... Command Got pretty far with this one. I read in the entire document into an array, sliced the line, and set the output to replace the document. However, couldn't place the carat position anywhere. I believe you can only define the carat position when inserting as a snippet, not replacing the document. Of course, there may be an even easier way to do this, but I don't know it.
