Say I begin to edit stuff like furious in the bundle editor, and then a new version comes along with some new stuff, how do these two get merged, if at all? Same goes for themes. Seems a bit short, but I hope the question is clear. Andreas

Retro ANSi DOS color theme

by thomas Aylott

Howdy. I first got started in computers with a DOS pc. I was an artist for dial-up BBS boards before the internet was. I know most people are into Mac chic, but I've always had a fondness for my oldschool CiA agent_42 days. Check out http://www.sixteencolors.net/Artist/?Artist=agent_42 to see what the 'scene' was like back in 'the day'. This theme is a first release. I can't code without a good basic theme, but I need to make it better, especially for other languages. This theme has been tested with html, xhtml, XML (and friends), ASP, ASP.net, ruby on rails, javascript & CSS. I'm not too thrilled with how it looks for javascript & CSS, but i don't code in those (with textMate) too often. The theme rendering & code view does get a bit slowish with all the fancy stuff going on with transparency & background colors. If anyone can suggest ways to speed up the rendering that'd be swell. I have Quarts 2D extreme turned on (using quartz debug & force quitting to keep changes) for faster text-rendering & better anti- aliasing. I'm using proFont 9px anti-aliased. The bold only shows up with anti-aliasing off though. please check this out & share your reactions, good or bad. I know this is not for everyone, but I was just so psyched about the AWESOME theming & scope capabilities of textMate not to share.

Insert Closing Tag bug

by Michael Irwin

Recently I've noticed the keyboard shortcut for "Insert Closing Tag" from the Automation menu no longer works in 1.1b16. If I click the menu item the closing tag is inserted, but not if I type the shortcut Option-Cmd-. I haven't customized any Bundles, but I am using the latest Bundles via svn. Anybody else seeing this? Thanks, Michael Irwin

ASP.net & SQL bundle

by thomas Aylott

is anybody working on an ASP.net bundle? Specifically, VB.NET i've got some work-arounds to make the regular ASP bundle work for it, but there are still a few niggling problems. I'm just getting started with all this fancyness & don't really have much time to mess with stuff. I have a custom color theme done & i've made some snippets & commands. I'm addicted to macros. I work in an all windows office (we actually just got a macMini server for the 'blog') so I've got to deal with a lot of 'classic' ASP 3 & poorly written ASP.net code. In the mean time i've got this workaround to make serverside script tags work like <% ... %> tags. This takes advantage of the fact that the ASP language bundle incorrectly ignores the closing %> tag if preceded by a comment_this_line character "'" (what 'tard came up with the idea of using a quote mark as a comment_this_line character!?!?!1!). So, nobody fix that problem without also making an ASP.net bundle, thanks. <%'textmate fix for ASP.NET script tag' %> <script runat="server"> ... </script>  i know you're all thinking: "coding ASP.net on a mac, what are you a masochist?" ANSWER: It's better than the alternative. (IE: using a PC to code ASP.net) -------------------- SQL. Is there anyone working on an advanced version of the SQL language module? The current one is... not good. (isn't it nice to know that your efforts are being appreciated? :D)

Paren matching

by David Lee

Hi all. First up -- congrats to Alan. Textmate's continuing to improve faster than any other editor I know of, and is already unarguably one of the best. so , any chance we can have both pairs of (){}[]s better highlighted when the cursor is adjacent to one of a matching pair? it'd be nice to have theme elements for the bracket fg/bg colours. I think the short blink we have at the moment is far too little, and it makes more sense to me to have both characters highlighted. ------------ cheers, David

Emacs-like Toggle-behavior for cmd-T, Keyboard-driven tab reordering

by Jonathan Ragan-Kelley

I appreciate cmd-T as a more flexible replacement for old-school keyboard buffer switchers like the traditional Emacs c-x b action. However, one of the most critical uses of c-x b, in my experience, is the ability to instantly toggle between the last 2 buffers in the current window/pane, which cmd-T (and the stationary ordering of the tabs, as compared to something like the stack ordering of the File History dropdown in XCode editor panes) cannot accomplish. I understand that certain special cases of toggling, like switching between matching, identically-named header and implementation files can be accomplished with special commands and that toggling can be achieved by manually reordering tabs in such a way that the desired 2 files are adjacent in the tab list, but this misses the deeper point that toggling between the last 2 files -- no matter how they were reached, what their file name relationship is, or where they fall in the tab list -- is one of the most central and frequently performed actions at least in my programming experience. (And it is, of course, all the more critical without split pane support ;). It seems to me, however, that this can be addressed quite simply and elegantly in the context of the current cmd-T system. All that would have to happen is that the first item in the list would always default to the last active tab when the window is first opened. Given that the list ordering is dynamic and adaptive, á la Quicksilver, it hardly seems that this very subtle reordering would present any sort of usability issue or confusion. Of course, how this most-recently-used item might be prioritized in the list after the user starts typing, if at all, is an open question, but one which need not even be answered a first version (the behavior can perfectly reasonably be just as it is now after the first search letter is typed). The general issue of fast toggling and navigation between files also brings up a small related thing I've been wanting to see for some time: I would love to have the ability to re-order tabs using the keyboard, alone -- just something akin to select next/previous tab, but which moved the current tab right/left. That's it for now. Back to the code. -jrk

Text autocomletion, BBAutoComplete

by Jim Woolum

Does anyone (maybe Jeroen van der Ham, or some other Applescript maven) know how to make BBAutoComplete ( http://c-command.com/bbautocomplete/ ) work with TextMate? (For broad spectrum text autocompletion.) Thanks!

Block indenting messed up in b16

by Benjamin Jackson

I think this was a prob in b15 as well. Constructions like function() { // tabbed automatically } now come out like this: function() { // left on same indent level } A small annoyance but it adds up :) Ben

Key bindings question

by Benjamin Jackson

Just hacked TextExtras to do auto-completion on space... however to get it to work I had to alter DefaultKeyBindings.dict, which is now messing with TM as I assume it's using a different InputManager and can't find the functions I assigned to the space key. It would be nice to be able to use the completion functionality within TM, but if it's not technically possible then I'll settle for just resetting the bindings for it. How can I override these bindings just for TextMate? I'd assume it would be possible by editing the KeyBindings.dict file in TM's Resources, however I have no idea how (or if it's even possible) to map a key binding to an NSTextView method with arguments. My first try would be { " " = "insertText:@' '"; /* space */ } However I read somewhere about @-initialized strings being defined at compile-time, so this doesn't work. Any ideas? I'll make sure to put together a nice write-up when I'm done :) ___________________ Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento ben(a)incomumdesign.com http://www.incomumdesign.com
