Please add a feature similar to BBEdit's "Balance"

by Bruno Bronosky

For those of you who have not used it, BBEdit amid all bloat actually has a few useful features. One extremely useful feature is the "Balance" command. It simple creates a selection that extends from the beginning of a markup tag (ie. "<div>"), brace (ie "{"), or bracket (ie "[") to the closing markup tag, brace, or bracket. The most important part is that it accurately accounts for nesting. This feature seems expendable on perfected code, but it is a life saver when you have several nested control structures and you have forgotten a closing brace. It is also very useful when trying to make sense of Microsoft-proofed HTML with several nested divs and no whitespace. The balance command can be call from the "Text" menu item, or by double clicking an opening or closing brace, bracket or the GT/LT of a markup tag. Please add this simple feature. Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

Help and Suggestion for Renaming

by Eric Curtis

I noticed that my hand automatically went to the enter key on the numeric key pad to start renaming a file in the drawer. I have a feeling that I could probably map that key to the function although I am not sure how to do it. Any Ideas? The suggestion would be do have the above as a default behavior if it can be done. Sincerely, Eric C

IRC channel: #textmate on freenode.net

by Sune Foldager

I have arranged for an IRC channel to be set up for TextMate discussions of any sort. I created it on freenode.net, which is usually for open-source projects, but the requirements fit the purpose I had in mind well enough. A list of IRC servers for this network can be found here: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml ..and the channel is called, of course, #textmate Hope to see some people there soon :-). -- Sune. :: the Cottage of Lost Play. :: http://cyanite.org

Newbie question about this mailing list

by Bruno Bronosky

I have been writing feature requests to the mailing list. As an application developer and project manager I have had to read, write, revise, and follow hundreds of functionality specs. I write my requests with functionality spec verbiage. Is this a proper use of this mailing list? Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

please add the ability to fold a selection

by Bruno Bronosky

When any selection is made, the left margin should gain a "begin fold" icon similar to the ones that appear next to the start of a foldable chunk of code. It would differ in appearance by replacing the dark gray color with the highlight color. Clicking this icon would fold the entire selection into a single fold. Unfolding the chunk of code would reselect that chunk of code only if another selection did not exist. Please add this feature. Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

svnX 0.7 : fileMerge between Subversion revisions from TextMate

by Dominique PERETTI

Hi to all, I finally took 2 minutes to make the yet unreleased 0.7 version of svnX available to you (not public yet). You can download it here : http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/_files/svnX0.7.zip It has a new feature : you can invoke it from TextMate (via AppleScript) and be presented with a window with the different revisions of the edited file. Here is an excerpt from the help file (Help menu). Invoking svnX's diff window with Applescript It allows you to use svnX's diff window from another application. Usage : tell application "svnX" to diff /absolute/path/to/the/file TextMate example : osascript -e 'set TM_FILEPATH to get system attribute "TM_FILEPATH"' -e 'tell application "svnX" to diff TM_FILEPATH' You can also invoke FileMerge to compare the file with the pristine copy (without displaying svnX's diff window, actually without even opening svnX) : /usr/local/bin/svn diff --diff-cmd "/Applications/svnX.app/Contents/Resources/svndiff.sh" $TM_FILEPATH > /dev/null More info about svnX here : http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion/svnx/features/ Dominique PERETTI http://www.lachoseinteractive.net

Markdown->Markup->PDF

by Tim Martens

How can automate the process of: piping a Markdown through markdown.pl having it open in an external browser of my choice (preferably Opera 8 beta as it does the best job of honoring print related CSS) grabbing the X/HTML source putting the source into a new TM document Is that even possible. I'm open to other suggestions about going from Markdown to PDF. -t

1.1b4 File Chooser & HTML Output options

by Mats Persson

Having just tried out the new 1.1b4 version, I just have to share a few thoughts. 1. The Search field in the File Chooser window should contain a number of options a la Finder & Mail for how the search algorithm should work. Although it's cool to just type 'td' to get the 'todo.txt' file, but sometimes I want to be able to just use 'str' to find the files that have "string" in them for example. Or doing a find on 'class.' to just have my various classes show up as another example. There are many more. 2. HTML Output Options. The new Bundle Editor is really cool, especially the resizing when switching from "Show as HTML" to "Show in separate window". Although I assume Allan have already thought about this, I just have to ask. Is there any chance that we could have a few options there as well ? Such as Default Format: None - <pre> - <code> - <p> - (??) (if it's not obvious what I mean, just let me know) Default HTML File: 'Choose file field' / path If we could have a default HTML file that the command output could be replaced into. Sort of like this: <html> <stylesheet> <body> $TM_COMMAND_OUTPUT </body> </html> I know that we could create files and code in our commands to do most of this, but it won't be as elegant. Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

web preview and PHP include_paths

by max＠machinate.org

Hello, This is my first post to this list, so I hope it's ok. been using Texmate for web site development with PHP for a while now and love it. However, I always preview pages in Safari because of the limitations of the included web preview. With the new html output of the latest beta I was reminded again of it, but found the same problems. I think the issue of it closing when you change tabs has already been brought up, which is really annoying if you want to edit a css file, for example. Could its behaviour be that it always stays open. If you want to preview another page, it could then open as separate tab in the preview window. Only the selected tab need be automatically refreshed, but you could easily switch to your other previewed pages. Another thing that I'm not sure if any one has mentioned is that when you pipe it through the PHP binary, require() and include() don't work when the files have a relative path to the script. Any apache server env variables are also bypassed so you can't reference 'SCRIPT_URI' etc. I don't really want to change every script to have absolute paths, as that becomes rather inflexible. would be glad to hear any solutions anyone might have. thanks, max
