I've created the beginnings of a bundle for use in screenwriting and I'm looking for help to develop it further. As it stands now, TextMate is used solely for it's behavior (snippets, macros, etc.) but I hope that it's abilities can expand with your help. Specifically, I'm looking for: * Code clean-up. I've hacked together a working prototype, but I'm sure there is much redundancy and inefficiency in what I've done. * Exporting options. The ability to export to HTML and PDF (perhaps via LaTex?), so proper formatting can take place. If you are interested in helping, download the bundle at the url listed below and contact me. The objective here is to create an end- to-end solution for screenwriting that rivals FinalDraft and MMScreenwriter, and I believe we can do it. link: http://www.ollieman.net/files/bundles/screenplay.zip email: oliver at ollieman dot net There is no documentation, but to get started: "ext" and "int" are tab-triggers for slug-lines "option+tab" creates transitions "shift+tab" creates characters poke around the bundle for more behavioral abilities. P.S. Should I post this in the bundle dev list?

Move line up/down bug?

by Chris Jenkins

I may be mistaken, but is there a bug with the move line up/down feature? Whenever I do this the line that is selected after the move is not the line that I moved, in other words if I move a line down then the line that gets selected is the line after the one that moved, so if I want to move a line up 2 lines I have to move it then move the caret up a line then move it again, is this how it it supposed to work? Or am I missing the point somehow? Many Thanks Chris ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Interminable slowness with TextMate over SMB

by Andrew F

Hi, I'm new here. Just started using TextMate, and I have a problem where it is freezing for up to minutes at a time. I’ve been using it to work from home. Whereas in the office we use Microsoft Developer Studio (on Windows), that happens to be a bastard of a slug of a text editor over a Remote Desktop connection, so I have connected to my Windows file share over SMB over my VPN, and set up a TextMate ‘project’ with all my files. (I compile remotely, over the remote desktop connection, or via Ssh.) Now TextMate is a lovely editor, and it didn’t take much effort to have it syntax-highlighting C# code. Only one problem with the otherwise (almost) perfect setup: when I have the project loaded into TextMate (600-odd files), when I change focus to another application, then focus again on TextMate, TextMate hangs for at least 20 seconds. I presume that this is something to do with it checking the files, because a local project doesn't seem to have this problem. Potentially it’s some kind of network timeout (though I checked my various firewalls to see if some bits of the windows file sharing were being blocked, and that doesn’t seem to be the case). I know that SMB is a dog over a remote connection (I'm on 2Mbps ADSL, and my office is 512kbps, I think), but this is almost unworkable, especially when it decides to go slow and takes 90 seconds rather than 20 (it's somewhat unpredictable. I assume it’s dependant on network conditions). Does anybody have any ideas? Or should I report it as a bug? (Even if it is a network problem, TextMate could presumably check the files in the background, or at least provide progress feedback.) Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks, –Andrewf

Place front two documents side by side with applescript

by Simon Dorfman

I often need to compare two documents side by side so I wrote a little applescript that repositions the two front windows. I've attached the script in plain text format.

TextMate Manual

by Allan Odgaard

Just posted the following to my blog (you can post feedback here or on the blog post, if you have any): I am planning to release 1.1 final next week. While I do get many repeated requests, one of the issues that has been hard to overlook lately is the lack of thorough coherent updated documentation.  This has now changed after spending a few weeks writing more or less full-time (so that's why there has been no nightly builds, although I will likely put out one later today with a dozen minor items in the change log). Here is the first public draft of the [TextMate manual](http:// macromates.com/textmate/manual/). Don't hesitate to post feedback as comments to this entry. Currently the documentation is low on use-cases. I hope to iteratively improve this over time, as I think that when people ask for documentation they are in fact much more interested in how to combine the features of TextMate to solve the task at hand, than the core facts about how to move the caret and such. This of course is quite a challenge, as the tasks and possibilities are infinite. I myself regularly find new ways to use TextMate to improve my workflow in ways I would not have thought of just a few weeks earlier. Writing the documentation was no exception. One of the cooler things I discovered was that I could add the command below as a preferences item to the `entity.name.reference.markdown` scope to have escape suggest completion candidates from my aggregated reference list, when inside a Markdown reference (given as `[link text][REFERENCE]`). { completionCommand = 'sed -n \ "s/^\[$$TM_CURRENT_WORD[^]]*$.*/\1/p" \ "$TM_DIRECTORY/markdown.references"'; disableDefaultCompletion = 1; } Should you somehow have missed my countless references to [Markdown] (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) then for the records let me just state that the documentation was written in Markdown and I absolutely love it!

Applescript: Open current Finder window folder in TextMate

by Simon Dorfman

Hello everyone, I posted an applescript to make it easy to open the current finder window in TextMate. Check it out here: http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/1037 I attached a screenshot of my finder window so you can see how nicely it can be integrated into the finder. Thought this might be useful to fellow TextMate users. Cheerio, Simon

autosorting of language

by Timothy Bates

hi, i made a fairly complex match in a language (mx - a structural equation modeling package) The language formatter mis-sorts the capture list (sorts on the basis of first digit, not on the numeric value of the match number). Doesn't affect function, but it is a bit messy to read. Here it is after autosorting: { name = 'meta.Start.values.matrices.mx'; match = '(?i)^\s*(Start|Value)\s+(\d*\.?\d*)\s+([A-Z])\s+(\d*)?\s* ((\d+)|([^, ]+))\s+((\d+)|([^, ]+))(\s(to|-)\s+([A-Z])\s+(\d*)?\s*((\d +)|([^, ]+))\s+((\d+)|([^, \n]+)))?'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.start.mx'; }; 10 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 12 = { name = 'keyword.control.to.mx'; }; 13 = { name = 'support.other.variable.matrix.mx'; }; 14 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 16 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 17 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 19 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 2 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 20 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 3 = { name = 'support.other.variable.matrix.mx'; }; 4 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 6 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 7 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 9 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; }; },

language pane not updates

by Timothy Bates

hi, just made a new bundle and dragged an existing item into it. All went well (like how the item shows where it will go), but the UI did not update well: the list was displaced left during the drag, and then it didn't redraw (all the disclosure triangles hidden). Goes away after a forced redraw by altering the pane width.
