Just a tip to share. If you want to get projects started really quickly and have more fun too : ), open a folder with textmate using quicksilver. Instant project. -- Best regards, Lang Riley

new beta wow!

by Paul Nordstrom August

new icon! But looks better in the background of the Bundle Editor than in my dock :( I like the "smart" syntax/command/snippet/etc control, though my previous PHP background color is lost! (Guess I'll have to figure out how to change it back ;) Thanks Allan! Paul (jetlagged, thus working at 1:50AM :)

how do you close excess tabbed files?

by Edmundo Ortega

What about adding a preference for tabs that works like this: When checked, any file clicked on in the project drawer is automatically added as a tab. This is the current behavior. When unchecked, you must command-click (or something like that) to add a file to the tab bar. This would work well for me, because many times I'm working on a set of files, but i must refer to other files temporarily (eg to check an interface). I always forget to close those files and I end up with a lot of extra files in my tabs that I don't want open for more than a moment. The idea above would allow you to have a set of open tabbed files that comprise your working set. Files that are not specifically opened as a tab will only appear while you are looking at them. When they are being viewed, all the tabs will be in the off state. When you click a tab again, the temporary file will disappear. To look at it again you must choose it from the project drawer. Come to think of it, this is a bit like the behavior of Safari or Firefox. Imagine if every page you clicked on became a new tab in your browser. Ed

plays well with Pages!

by Eric Hsu

I was very pleased to find that the TM Service plays well with Apple's iWork Pages. I love the TM editing service and use it every day and twice on Sundays... Pages doesn't have any regexp search and replaces, etc, and it's nice to kick in TM when I need it. I also am a big fan of the column editing, but that's another story... Just a positive post while we all try to resist asking Allan when the next beta's coming out. Doh! Oops. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Feature Request: Remember Project Drawer State

by Jeremy Brown

Hello, I recently purchased TextMate and love the product. I start understanding more of it every day. Kudos to the development team. I'd like to make a request (or maybe this is currently possible and I just don't see it?) to be able to have the state of the project be "remembered" as I open and close projects/TextMate. Meaning, if I have 25 folders in a project, and I have 6 of those folders listing contents, I'd like that state to show up next time I open TextMate instead of having to navigate through the project again and open those folders. I searched the archives and couldn't find any similar requests or notes, so apologies if this redundant. P.S. Is there some kind of "intro to TextMate" documentation that basically runs over what snippets, macros, etc. are and how they are used/created/handled in TextMate? Just a basic doc on "here's what makes TextMate great" with some examples would be terrific. Keep up the good work. -- Thanks, Jeremy Brown

File navigation feature requests

by Tobias Luetke

I love textmate to death and use it exclusively for all my development since its release. The only area where I wish for some improvement is the file management. Most of my work is in projects which contain hundreds of files and folders so this limits the tab bars usefulness quite a bit. It seems to be easier for me to start several textmate instances one pointing to different logical parts of the application. The first and bigger proposal is to bring intelligent file opening to textmate. This works much like quicksilver. A hotkey opens a edit window and an attached dropdown window specializes itself more and more as you type. A simple search would be "user" which would offer you all files with the word user in them. A more complex example would be typing "usrg" with would find USeR_Gateway.rb, USeRGlobals so on. I recommending installing quicksilver for a demonstration of the paradigm. Its great emerging technology and would be a great competitive advantage to have natively in TM. The same code could later be used to jumping to methods within a file. Another proposal would be introduction of intelligent tab fading. During inactivity the least recently used tabs start to fade out and close themselves after a while. This happens slower when there is lots of space in the tab bar and faster the more items there are. This would be great to cut the tab clutter and get rid of files automatically with which you are done. Currently i'm finding myself using close all windows all the time. -- Tobi http://www.hieraki.org - Open source book authoring http://blog.leetsoft.com - Technical weblog

Feature request: vertical alignment guides. Opening nibs.

by Joachim Mårtensson

Hello everyone. I have used TextMate for close to a month now and really like it. One thing I would love to have is vertical guides, that flow from opening if/while/for til they close( Yes I program in Python, why do you ask ;) ). Kind of how many mail programs quote messages. Ofcourse there is a chance that the guide-line will hit a comment or unindented code (Not in Python though), but it could just skip drawing on that line. The vertical lines could use different colo[u]rs for different indentation levels. Another thing that would be nice, was if I could double click a nib-file in the project drawer and it would launch Interface Builder. Right now it shows me the contents of the nib folder, meaning I have to open the nib via the Finder. A step I would rather not do. Joachim Mårtensson
