I uploaded a Perl module yesterday to CPAN and testers report
failures on several platforms when building the module.
The error logs mention unknown files whose name is the same one that
the actual included files, but with "._" prepended. For instance, if
the tarball contains "Makefile.PL" it turns out that it also contains
a mysterious "._Makefile.PL".
Even "ls -a" does not show those "._" files, and opening one of them
in a Windows machine showed something that seemed binary, and with
"www.macromates.com" somewhere with something that looks like
metadata like caret position (I think). That makes me wonder whether
TM could have anything to do with them. I am not familiar enough with
resource forks to be able to guess what's happening on my own.
Does this ring any bell?

I use the presumably obscure Dvorak/Command-Querty keyboard layout. It
uses Dvorak for standard typing, but when you hold down the command
key, it switches to Querty, so I can use the key that's actually
printed on the page, and preserve that precious command key muscle
memory. I've had mixed success using the command keys with TextMate,
though. For instance, I frequently change the indentation of blocks of
code, using command-[ and ]. When I use DQ, I tend to get some sort of
commenting. If I switch back to regular querty, I get the results I
expect. Is there any way this can be improved?
Hello, my name is Thomas.
And I am addicted to making textMate themes.
Please feed my addiction by suggesting theme ideas.
I have been told that my themes make peoples eyes bleed. They are
obviously of limited use, therefore.
If people seriously want a certain theme, I WILL make it (eventually).
I've got a process down now that's really quick.
-----
I WANT TO KNOW:
Who uses what theme in textMate?
What themes have you used from previous systems or applications?
visual studio? dreamweaver? bbedit? foo.app?
Do you like them?
Do you want an 'expert designer' to tell you what you should like?
<insert canned laughter here>
Do you have bad taste and should be ignored? <again.. haha>
Do you like black backgrounds? Do you like colored backgrounds?
Do you hate excessive use of background colors? ...for the
page? ...for individual elements?
Do you like high contrast? Do you prefer lower contrast?
Do you like having a bunch of different colors or would you prefer
one with shades of only a few colors?
What colors do you like? Please give examples.
Do you have synisthesia? Are certain elements 'supposed' to be a
certain color?
What languages do you want to have colored?
Do you want different languages to have different colors?
-----
Please provide example screen shots (or links to them to keep from
clogging the list) if at all possible.
Thank you for 'enabling' my habit ;D
After pressing Esc for word completion TxMt stops tab-completion on the
snippet. Is this a feature or a bug? Cheers,
Ben

I got impatient waiting for my Amiga theme, so I created one myself.
It's high-contrast and uses only a handful of colors (those from
MagicWB, which was an 8 color icon set which radically improved the
look of the Amiga workbench back then) -- I cheated and actually used
a light grey for comments, since pure white was too bright, and MWB
half-shine was too dark.
I haven't added this to the repository, since I don't expect that
anyone actually wants to use it :)
I miss a new-from-template-function in TextMate. I know I could realize
them as snippets but nevertheless it would be comfortable.
Otherwise a new-as-copy-function which creates a new file with the
beginning content of another file.
I'm new on TextMate and really love this editor!! :-)
Regards,
Ruben
1. Open a project
2. Activate the Find in Project window
3. Search for a string that will match something
4. Open another project
5. Activate the Find in Project window
6. Click one of the matches
Observed:
A new tab appears on the second project, with no content window.
Expected:
The correct (first) project is brought to front (but behind the find
window) and a tab is opened in it.
Hello.
TextMate is the best text editor I have ever used.
But I have one problem that I can't input Japanese.
(I can't live without Japanese...)
In Japanese, many characters are used. So we have to use
input-method to convert ascii characters into Japanese
characters.
For more information, visit the following.
http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/uim/2005-July/001195.htmlhttp://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/uim/2005-July/001215.html
Mac OS X bundles the input-method named Kotoeri.
When I use Kotoeri in TextMate, typed characters does not appear.
And when I try to convert words, the candidate window is not
displayed.
To use input-method, the text editor must be implemented as
TSM(Text Service Manager) client.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/
Text_Services_Manager/
I guess TextMate is not completely implemented as TSM client.
(Sorry if I was wrong.)
Is it possible to resolve this problem?
And the character overlapping problem posted before happens
also in my environment.

Sorry, I can't find postings of the same topic.
I am using UTF-8 encoding and I have never used any other
encoding in TextMate.
I can see Japanese characters even though it is overlapped.
If I am using other encoding than UTF-8, I can't even see
Japanese characters.
I'm not talking about text encoding.
My problem is that I can't INPUT Japanese by input-method.
Sorry for my bad English.
