This isn't really directly related to TextMate at all, but... :)
I've been doing some automation work to help make me all the more efficient
in various ways. That's generally involving writing up scripts glued to
various places-- and I've recently sort of wanted something like tm_dialog
to integrate with them, entirely outside of TextMate. I mean, I use
tm_dialog with a couple custom bundles for certain purposes but I don't
really "live" in TextMate so much.
Anyone know if there's a way to poke tm_dialog into just doing its thing
/outside/ of TextMate? Or, something else out there which fulfills a similar
use? I saw CocoaDialogs, but what I loved about tm_dialog was that it could
run custom nib's.
Anyhoo. Sorry for the OT post. =)

I caught this on a thread in reddit I think. Watch the animated image:
http://code-and-hacks.blogspot.com/2009/06/stealing-from-padre-for-vim.html
Something like this would be very cool. I know I can do it with find
and replace, but having a command that was aware of the scope you are
in, and only altering the variables you want within that scope, and
narrowed to that specific variable would be super nice.
Not something I would use all the time, but I have a habit of slamming
out some pretty off the top of my head code. To be able to go back,
and give nice logical well thought names, and have those changes not
break my code, would be a great addition.
Anyone cone close to this in TextMate today?

Hi Thomas,
As a JavaScript devotee, I'd love to do this. I've installed Rhino and
got it running in
~/Library/Java/Extensions
per instructions found at
http://peter.michaux.ca/articles/installing-rhino-on-os-x
When I open ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate, however, I just
see the Bundles, Plugins, Pristine Copy, and Themes folders. Do I just
copy Rhino's js.jar file to a new "Extensions" directory?
Presumably I would also need to start a command with a shebang line to
tell TextMate I'm using a particular scripting language, like
#!/usr/bin/env perl
What would be the equivalent path for Rhino's JavaScript?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Wherever I can I have switched to git. When switching branches (a
common thing with git), git replaces files 'in place'.
That has some side effects with TM:
- when I switch branches (say from the stable to the development
branch) and forget to close the project window first, TM happily
overwrites the project file. Thus I loose all the changes (eg new
classes added etc). Ideally TM should recognize that the project file
changed and reload it.
- Transitory information: TM seems to store transitory information
(window position or some such) in the project file, thus dirtying my
project. I'd prefer that TM would write that kind of info into a
separate file, so I can chose to track it or not.
How about some TM2 teasers?
Thanks

The diff folding of blocks also folds away the first three lines of
the next block, for instance:
diff --git a/app/models/questionnaire.rb b/app/models/questionnaire.rb
index 14284d6..b9ee4f5 100644
--- a/app/models/questionnaire.rb
is also folded away if I fold the block before it.
It seems to me that something is going wrong here.
This diff was generated using 'git diff', but can also be created
using 'diff -u'.
Hope you can fix this.
Cheers,

Hi All,
I’ve started using the Create HTML from Document command in the
TextMate bundle, but for small snippets the code it produces is
slightly weighty. I came across a post by Scott Stevenson:
http://theocacao.com/document.page/517
in which he mentioned modifying the command to only add class names
for the scopes that the current theme had styling for, eliminating
most of the unused class names. Unfortunately he hasn’t published his
modifications. How to do this is beyond me, so I wonder if anyone who
has made improvements to this command (to remove unused class names
and/or CSS rules) would care to share. Alternatively if there’s a
tool that would do this please let me know (I couldn’t see suitable
options in HTML Tidy’s config).
Thanks in advance

I have found that "Edit in TextMate" no longer works on 10.4.11 (not
sure about Leopard) with any build after 1498 -- it fails silently
although the key press gets picked up by Key Codes. Re-installing 1498
gets it working again. Anyone else found this?

Hello,
Does Textmate's code folding have limitations when a method declaration
is split across lines? Sometimes I have long parameter lists which
necessitate this style:
class MyClass():
def __init__(self,
var1=var1Default,
var2=var2Default,
var3=var3Default,
var4=var4Default,
var5=var5Default,
var6=var6Default,
var7=var7Default,
var8=var8Default):
pass
def method1(self):
pass
def method2(self):
pass
def method3(self):
pass
When I format the __init__() method above across line boundaries, I lose
code folding. Bummer. I know. I could use a work-around idea if this is
the way it is. :)
Cheers!

During my "gentle" introduction to Terminal in OSX, I was introduced to perl.
perl #!ed my brain so hard %-|, that without much introduction, I chose to
learn python because I thought it gave so much better ! for the $ (bang for
the buck) without help from hard core programmers. =^D
Now am trying to learn textmate and got stumbled on Ruby.
Sure it sounds a lot of fun to learn a new language.
But is there a way to use UI in python scripts within TM?
May be my question is a bit precocious because I just found a textmate
podcast series on itunes that has 2 podcasts on dialog2 in TM.

As of late (last month or so), I keep getting this error message every
time I try to run basic bundle operations that use ruby under the
hood. A typical example is "comment out" (apple-slash) (in C++ or
Latex bundle) that replaces the corresponding text section with the
error message.
I read the posts on this problem that date back to 2006 and could not
solve the problem. I am running the latest version of Textmare
(Version 1.5.8 (1498)) and a very recent version of ruby.
'which ruby' followed by Ctrl-r yields:
/usr/local/bin/ruby
ls -lh /usr/local/bin/ruby gives me:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13K Jun 4 15:04 /usr/local/bin/ruby
and /usr/local/bin/ruby -v produces:
ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-darwin9.7.0]
I tried everything I could think of, including reinstalling Textmate,
reinstalling ruby, and setting explicitely the TM_RUBY shell variable
but to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any insight into the cause of this problem.

This hit the front page of reddit today, thought it would be good to
let the list know about it. I found it to be a well written piece and
keeps me happy moving forward.
http://blog.macromates.com/2009/working-on-it/
There are a good deal of comments on the blog as well as reddit about
the no pay for version 2 issue. I am more or less in the camp of
"charge for version 2", especially if the lack of a charge is in any
way adding to a lack of motivation to get 2 out the door.
That being said, I do not believe it would be wise to go against a
statement made in the past that version 2 would be a free upgrade.
Remember, there is nothing stopping any of us from just buying version
2 outright when it comes out if that is the direction you want to go in.
This may skew stats a little on new users, versus upgrade users which
could be undesirable. My suggestion, when this day comes, simply make
version two require a checkout process, to get a new serial, and
charge $0.00 to whatever you feel it is worth.
Personally, if version 2 solves a good deal of my needs that are
lacking in version 1, I will be donating one way or another, $100.00
for my copy. I pay my mortgage, dinners, clothes, and the rest of my
life as a result of TextMate, $100.00 is a small price to pay for
making it easier for me to make a living.
Thank you for coming forward with a new plan to keep users updated on
the progress. It has been long overdue, though users are generally
forgiving. I also feel, the most vocal, that make a lot of noise, are
probably a very small percentage of the true count of the user base.
Yay for 2.0 news! Very nice to know at least one person is using 2.0
on a daily basis as well.
Have a nice end of the weekend to you all.

Hi folks. I'm starting to get into javascript, and am having problems
with the Reformat Document (Beautify) command.
I want soft tabs of 2 spaces. I read in a .js file, with the 2 space
indentation, and call the Reformat Document. It alas, does not use
the current 2 space soft tabs, but defaults to 4.
Yet if I edit the file, the auto indent correctly uses the 2 space
indent.
So clearly the tab setting I use (bottom of textmate, tabs menu) is
used by the auto-indent, but apparently not for Reformat Document.
What am I doing wrong?! Is there a textmate/javascript variable or
preference that needs to be set? Should the tabs menu control both
the auto-indent and Reformat?

Hi everyone,
I just upgraded to SnowLeopard GM1 and cmd+left/right no longer seem
to go to the beginning/end of lines. I'm not sure if this is Apple's
fault or TextMate's fault, but other apps that use standard Cocoa
editing controls in GM1 (i.e. TextEdit) seem to work fine with
cmd+left/right. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I know you can use ctrl+a/e to get to the beginning and end of lines,
but I prefer to use the cursor keys.
Thanks,
Ben
I know it's silly but I'd rather keep my serial number that shows I've

Hi there!
Is there any way in TextMate to navigate back to the previous cursor
position? In VIM I use "CTRL-O" to go back and "TAB" to go forward in
command mode.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Dear All,
Many years ago, in a state of innocence, I hard-coded my LaTeX quotation marks.
> Thus I have text that `looks like this'.
I now find that it would have been MUCH better (if not essential) to have done:
> Thus I have text that \enquote{looks like this}
I can't do a search and replace, because there is no algorithm that
will get the quotes right, but I would like to be able to do the
following:
1. Select the text that needs changing with the mouse
2. Hit a key and have the text changed to the \enquote version.
I feel like this ought to be the sort of thing that TextMate excels
at. How should I do it?
Very best wishes,
Nicholas

Dear TextMate folks,
Is there any way to invoke the "Create HTML from Document with line
numbers" command on a source file from the command line? I'd like to
be able to write a shell script to take several source files and
pretty-print them into HTML.
Alternately, is there any other way to automate the process of taking
a number of source files and creating corresponding HTML files (e.g.,
with Applescript)?
Thanks,
Lorin
I have a Ruby code project with several TODO comments in it. When I run the
TODO list command, the bundle displays an empty list.
If I open one of the Ruby source files in the project by itself, the TODO
bundle does list to TODO items it contains. Presumably the Bundle doesn't
like the way I have my project set up. I have *.rb source files in the
standard Ruby gem directory structure (i.e. in lib, test, bin
subdirectories). I manually add all files to the project (i.e. I don't have
Textmate automatically import them.) I have created lib, test, and bin
groups in the project. I have tried highlighting various collections of
items in the sidebar when running the show TODO list command to no avail.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Using the bundle to write my thesis. Fantastic work; thanks for all
who contributed.
Just having one problem. I have my TM_LATEX_MASTER variable set to
"thesismaster.tex", i.e a relative path to the current project
directory. I do this because I sync my thesis folder using Dropbox,
and work on another computer occasionally. This process works for
typeset and view, i.e. it will compile thesismaster.tex even if I am
editing a different file; but watch document will not work, it keeps
complaining that there is no "/" in my file path. If I make the file
path absolute, i.e. /Users/name/Dropbox/thesismaster.tex etc, then it
works. But obviously, won't work on my other computer because I have a
different username. Using ~ doesn't work for the file path in textmate
seemingly.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm rather new to both Ruby and Interface Builder. So what better thing to
do than to try to write a command in Ruby that uses TextMate::UI.dialog?
Please excuse the newbness of my question. I also apologize for the length
of my post, but I tried to provide as many details as I could.
I've managed to get some basic nib goodness happening, in the form of text
fields both setting values on nib launch, and returning values on nib close.
But I'd like to implement a popup control in my nib, and am at a complete
loss for how to get the values both in and out. It's really just a short
list of options, not even dynamically generated, but it's not working and I
can't find any form of reference or help on Google.
Here's what I've got. Without worrying about the popup control, this works:
TextMate::UI.dialog(:nib => nib, :parameters => {}, :center => true) do
|dialog|
dialog.parameters = {'package' => 'com.mypackage', 'activity' =>
"ActivityClass"}
dialog.wait_for_input do |params|
package = params['package']
activity = params['activity']
puts "package: #{package}"
puts "activity: #{activity}"
end
end
I tried setting up the nib with an Array Controller, and binding Content
Array for Multiple Selection to my parameters Object Controller, with the
Model Key Path set to the parameter name (buildTarget).
This at least didn't cause errors, which was a huge step forward for me, and
even appears to return back the the whole array of objects that I'm passing
in.
Then I figure I need to bind the popup to the array controller, and I've
tried Content, Content Object, Content Values...but I'm really just shooting
in the dark.
If anyone has idea, or could even provide a reference or a working sample of
what I'm trying to do, I would be very grateful.
Hello, I now use BBedit rarely, the times TM just flat out amazes me,
I am a happy camper. There are times I still fire up the old BB, but
it gets less and less. Maybe I am getting too old to remember all
these damn keyboard shortcuts :)
1) Is there an <a href... snippet, I can not find it
2) How can I shift selected text right and left one space at a time?
3) Most other apps allow me to drag and drop a text clipping to the
apps icon, and it will open it. In TM, I have to open the clipping,
copy, then new file, then paste. Any workarounds on this one? Oddly,
I find I used this feature a lot and I am missing it.
4) I am liking soft tabs a lot, as they seem to allow me to align
things better, and when files move to other places, they stay lined up
regardless of the tab stop setting. I was happily working in 4 spaces
per tab stop, and wanted to move to 5, changing it did nothing. I had
to convert spaces to tabs, then make the change. I am not entirely
sure what I did really. Can someone give me a primer or point me to
docs on how this works?
* I am often opening tab separated files, and will need to open tabs
to 40 spaces or so, because the launch time to something like Excel is
just too aggravating, TM seems to work against me a little for this
type of work, suggestions?
5) Given code such as:
$foo = 'bar';
$this = 'that';
$something = 'else';
What is a simple way to get to:
$foo = 'bar';
$this = 'that';
$something = 'else';
6) I have picked up this TM book and printed it out, it is helping me
a lot. There is a section on being able to select some sql, and have
it run and show me the output. I am not understanding how to make
this work. I usually have a db.inc that will contain my user and pass
and db name, so it will be well outside the scope of the file I am in,
unless TM can follow that include reference. To be able to run
arbitrary sql would be huge for me, is there a better walk through? I
am just not getting this one to work. I have not tried to be honest,
since I do not understand the setup at all.
7) Any of you care to share your top #1 little tricks, the one thing
you use all the time, that just makes you happy every time you invoke
it? I mainly work in php, so leaning on things that would be helpful
in that area would be nice. Second would be bash, and lately, for
some odd reason, I have been spending some time in TCL, but not much,
so I am not sure how many tricks in there would benefit me in the long
run.
Thanks all... Hey, when is the next version coming out... just
kidding :)

Hi all,
I'm looking to extend the definition of a comment in the textmate
syntax highlighting, but I'm not quite sure how to achieve the effect
I'm after.
I frequently comment out snippets of code by sticking `if (false)
{ ... }` around the code. The other variation I use is to convert an
existing condition into a comment: `if (false && previous condition)
{ ... }`. You don't want to over-use this idiom, but it is useful in
its place.
At the moment TextMate treats this just like normal code (which is
exactly what you'd expect). I was wondering if there was a way to
make TextMate see these patterns as comments. It isn't easy as you
really want to pick the right brace to close the comment. There could
be further blocks of code nested inside the 'comment block'.
This isn't a huge priority for me, but I thought I'd raise it and
see if anyone had any obvious solutions.
Be well,
Will :-}
Hello,
How can I get 10.5.6 to use TextMate as the default application to
open text files instead of using TextEdit?
For example, if I do the following, I'd like the new file to open in
TextMate:
grep 'test' *.c > newfile
open newfile
Currently, this opens in TextEdit (ugh).
For files with an extension, I can get the system to use TextMate for
all files with that extension.
But I'd like something that works automatically for files without
extensions (like "newfile" in the example).
Also while it works to use "get info" to set the "open with"
application for an existing file,
when I do "Change All..." to use TextMate, I get the following error:
An error occurred while changing the application that
open "newfile" because not enough information is
available.
I'm using Version 1.5.8 (1498).
Thanks,
Bill Paxton
The class snippet in the Java bundle (from SVN) is not working as
expected for me. It fails guessing the correct class name from the
file name.
The regex for the class name guessing looks like this in the current snippet:
${TM_FILENAME/(.*?)(\..+)?/(?2:$1:untitled)/}
For a file that is not yet saved I get "class untitled ..." as
expected. However, if I have a Java file TestClass.java the snippet
names the class "untitledTestClass.java" - not what it is ment to be.
In an very old version of the bundle the regex in that snippet was:
${TM_FILENAME/(\w+).*|(.*)/(?1:$1)(?2:ClassName)/}
This one works for me (TM). I hope this is a good pointer to get the
snippet working again in the current bundle.
I also asked myself, whether the regex should be "improved" in such a
way, that it only accepts valid Java identifiers as class names and
otherwise informs the user about it. Nor sure whether this is beyond
the scope of the snippet, so I would like to hear some opinions, befor
I start messing with the regex ;-)
A possible improvement could be like this IMHO:
* A file MyClass.txt results in "class MyClass". As long as the
identifier is valid inside the Java file, the snippet should not care
about inapropriate named files.
* Same goes for file/class names that are against naming conventions
but compile fine anyway: class myclass, class Myclass, etc.
* The regex _should_ complain when file/class name doesn't start with
a Unicode letter, underscore, or currency symbol (dollar, euro, yen
sign). e.g. 1MyClass is not a valid class name (error at compile
time). The snippet could give the user a hint early in the process by
naming the class "class InvalidClassName" or something
* The alphabet for class names _should_ be restricted to Unicode
letters, digets, underscore and currency symbols
* keywords are not allowed as Identifiers but I'd say that's beyond
the scope of the snippet check that too
Last but not least it would be great if the tab triggers were the same
between packages for common snippets like class: python has class-->,
ruby has cla-->, java has cl-->

Nevertheless I'm still a bit of a novice when it deals with regular

I did some quick research:
- The Java-based languages use a semi-colon, rather than a brace.
- D uses 'module' to define its packages.
- Before I added the firstLineMatch, my files were coming up as
plain-text. If there's a language this pattern conflicts with,
TextMate doesn't know about it out-of-the-box.
Here's a slightly-modified version that caps the ends of the string.
It also makes the { optional (in case someone puts his braces on the
next line):
^package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{?$

I'd venture a guess that package ... { is the handily the most common
first line of an AS class; however, why don't we use either method?
(^package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{?$)|(\bAS3\b)
Note: I get this as a first line if I do new AS3 class from template:
package .var.folders.NQ.NQfuLuLLE+aVJJfvkTLNwU+++TI.-Tmp- {
I imagine I'll have plenty to contribute in the way of bundlie-
goodness. I don't personally use a version control system, and I'm
not wed to any of them. Is there any sort of utility that will enable
me to contribute to any of them, so I could fork somebody on github
and somebody else on bitbucket without having to mess with git and hg?

Hi,
I've been using TextMate for almost a year now and like it very much.
I'm trying to stay off my mouse and here is one task I think I should be
able to do without using mouse. From time to time, I copy some code to a
new editor window and run. What is the keyboard shortcut to invoke the
file type dropdown in the bottom of the editor?
Thank you.

Hello everybody,
I use TextMate mainly for LaTex editing.
In LaTex, I often use a package "jurarsp". This package works by way
of running BibTex on a file with the extension *.rsp.aux (okay,
admittedly the," rsp"-part is not the file extension, but you get the
gist, I hope). In TextMate, I set all my LaTex projects to run the
latex, bibtex, etc. commands on a master file. Now I want to create a
custom command that would run bibtex on the master_file.rsp.aux file,
where the "master_file"-part would automatically be the name of the
master file of the current project. The bibtex command already
achieves this by using this simple syntax:
texMate.py bibtex 1
However, simply adding .rsp.aux after the 1 does not work. So I guess
what I am looking for is a command or regular expression that would do
the following: get the name of the current master file without
extension, and add the extension .rsp.aux to this name. Maybe that is
very simpe question I am asking but I promise you that I duly
researched the mailing list and could not find an answer.
Thank you for any suggestions,
JJ

Hello all,
I'm developing a bundle for handling biomolecular structure files (PDB
files). I'm now working on
getting the language description sorted out. In doing this I ran into
a regex problem.
The situation:
A PDB file is essentially a table. One line from such a table can be
as follows:
ATOM 14 CA GLN A 2 -27.648 -9.581 30.325 1.00 10.00
In the language description I would like to use a regular expression
construct that
matched 'GLN' only if the line starts with either 'ATOM' or 'HETATM'.
This seams like
a conditional regular expression but my attempts to implement it at
such have failed
so far.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Marc

This indeed works but I do think I need to be a bit more specific.
Lets look again at the line:
ATOM 14 CA GLN A 2 -27.648 -9.581 30.325 1.00 10.00
My goal is to have both the 'ATOM' string and the 'GLN' string colored
differently.
Using ^(ATOM|HETATM)\b I can color the ATOM part.
Using \bGLN\b I can color the GLN part.
The problem is that I only want the GLN part to be colored if the line
starts with ATOM. In your reply the complete part starting with ATOM
up to GLN gets colored.

Hey guys,

Consider these examples. I'm triggering a completion with opt-esc at

ball.graphics.be // completes to
beginFill(color:uint,alpha:Number=1.0);
ball.graphics.beginFill(1, // "No property found"
// It ought to complete to beginFill(1, alpha:Number=1.0);

Like it or not, I end up having to detract for writing code, and work
with css. I started using Tm for this the other day. Great auto
complete in the css markup, that truly is a time saver.
I see a lot of people use FireBug to open a css file left side,
browser on right, and start seeing in real time their changes. This
is probably the best way to do CSS dev IMO, not refreshing a page and
seeing it happen in real time is a real time saver.
I am not a huge fan of FireFox, or Firebug, and it is not a solid
solution, you can not save, there are some deficiencies.
Apple's Web Inspector tool gets me part there, but you can only edit
CSS in their fields, can not get raw access to a file.
I see in TM I can do a "Show Web Preview", which is pretty nice. It
is not pure real time. Why is this? Why can something like FireBug
do real time updates, but TM is more on a schedule? Not knocking it,
I am genuinely curious about the technical aspects of how this is
working.
The trouble is, I do not want to do inline CSS editing, I want to edit
the references CSS file. If I open a html file, which has a link to
a .css file, make change to the .css file, the .html file that is open
in the web preview is not updated. I have to toggle back to the .html
file, make a space or other change, and then I see the update.
Any other way to trigger the update from the linked file?
TM also only works on local files. If I am working on a remote file
over ssh/ftp all image links will be broken, so something as simple as
<img src="icons/blue.png" /> which would load in a browser just fine,
will be broken in the web preview.
Any suggestions to get out of the change/save/switch/reload cycle that
is going to give me carpal tunnel syndrome soon enough.
I am going to look at CSSEdit as some others have suggested, but I
really do not want to add another huge dev tool to the list of things
I need to learn, and I am already 110% happy with hose TM auto
completes CSS.

Hi,
I've had a look for this in the archives but no mention of it, so
here's a very minor bug I just found:
Basically, TextMate will garble its caret bookmark file attribute
whenever column == 0 && line == 0. When saving any file with the caret
in this position, the resulting attribute always read like this:
com.macromates.caret:
0000 78 9C AB E6 52 00 82 E4 FC 9C D2 DC 3C 05 5B 05 x...R.......<.[.
0010 03 6B 30 3F 27 33 2F 15 C2 AB 05 00 8B 99 08 1D .k0?'3/.........
When saving the file with the caret in any other position, the
attribute saves normally:
com.macromates.caret: {
column = 0;
line = 1;
}
Tested & reproduced using TextMate 1.5.8 (build 1498) on an Intel Core
2 Duo MacBook running OS X 10.5.5 (9F33).
I hope that's enough information to identify the offending code --
keep up the good work, it's a great app!

Hi guys,
I'm a new TM user and I've noticed two very peculiar things about TM.
When you have a file that has only one line break (say a minimized css or js
file) and if you have Soft Wrap enabled, TM will freeze for 10 minutes at a
time! Totally weird. Even a TextEdit works perfectly with something like
that.
Another issue is slow regexp. Whenever I execute regexp on a file that's
about 5K lines, TM freezes for 20+ seconds. I've never seen such a slow
regexp. Am I doing something wrong or is there a preference/switch that I
could set so it doesn't do that?
Thanks for any help!

Hello, long-time Emacs user / new TextMate user here. I wanted to drop
by and say "hi", say how much I am loving TextMate so far (I thought
nothing would drag me away from Emacs), and discuss a couple of
features that I miss.
Firstly, I was on the whole a very happy user of Emacs, and an article
I wrote describing my Emacs environment for XHTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP
web development was even mentioned in the O'Reilly Emacs book. I'd
tried TextMate a couple of years ago and not liked it, but I tried it
again a few weeks ago and was blown away.
However there are two things that I miss. I have done a Google search
on the mailing list archives and couldn't see much discussion of
either of these, but please appreciate that the mailing list archive
is very large and I'm new here so I apologies in advance if I'm just
raking over things that have been discussed to death.
1. Good parenthesis matching and highlighting
I'm actually genuinely surprised at this. TexMate is very weak in this
area. I should be able to put the cursor between say "})" and have the
two closing parentheses highlighted in different colours and have
their corresponding opening parenthese highlighted in matching colours.
2. The ability to parse DTDs and Schemas for automagic knowledge of
markup languages
This is much more of a tall order, but it is something that PSGML mode
and nXML mode provide in Emacs, and to some extent it is similar to
what AUC-TeX provides for LaTeX editing in Emacs. With PSGML mode and
nXML mode I can open any type of SGML or XML document and as long as
Emacs can find the DTD or the Schema it automatically understands the
language in question: it knows what elements are part of the language,
where they can be inserted, what attributes those elements can have
and even what attribute values they can have. That means that you
don't need to write a MathML mode, an SVG mode, etc. In TextMate I
needed to hand edit an SVG file but there is no SVG bundle, just an
XML one. It was the first time in weeks I had to use Emacs. Similarly
work is progressing rapidly now on HTML 5. Support will have to be
laboriously added to TextMate for this in the absence of something
which simply understood the DTD or Schema. AUC-TeX on Emacs worked in
a similar way, in that it was capable of parsing the LaTeX packages
you were using and automatically extracting the commands and
environments they used and adding them to menus.
As I understand it, the features of TextMate 2.0 are somewhat shrouded
in mystery, but I understand that the underlying engine for language
grammars is being re-written. Does anyone know if the kind of feature
I discussed is likely to be possible in TextMate 2? Maybe it is
already possible in TextMate 1, but no one else has seen a need for it?
Anyway, so far the pros of TextMate are outweighing the cons. There
were a large number of niggles with Emacs that were driving me up the
wall, and so far it has been a joy to switch to TextMate. Better paren
matching seems like something that just needs to be there. A more
intelligent way for dealing with markup languages is highly desirable
from my point of view, and could in the long-term end up being a deal-
breaker. I'd be interested to hear what others think.
Best, Darren
Hey guys, I use textmate a LOT on OS-X Leopard 1.5.6 as my main CLI
text editor via .bash_profile and I edit a lot of files from my
computer with textmate. But I have issues with permissions when
trying to "mate" files which my user does not have permissions to
read. Even if I "sudo mate". Textmate pretends it opened this file
but the file is empty, and when you save it it will ask for
administrative privileges to do so.
Steps to reproduce:
$ echo "this is a test" > testfile
$ sudo chown root testfile
$ sudo chmod 700 testfile
$ sudo mate testfile
Result:
Textmate opens a window called "testfile" but shows nothing in this
file. If you edit this file and hit save, a window pops up which asks
for your credentials to save over this file.
Expected result:
#1 - preferred: uses the above "sudo" permission to pass into and/or
launch textmate under for editing of this file. Which would allow
opening and saving of this file without requiring re-entry of
credentials (annoying).
#2 - secondary/temporary alternative: upon failing opening a file
(like what's happening here) asking the user for credentials which
would allow opening the file. If this fails, do not open the window
because clearly, you don't have permissions for this file anyway, you
shouldn't have an editor window open for it. If their credentials
succeed, use the "open" permission for saving also.
Anyone have a workaround for this, or any ideas? The contact area
said to post here first. I googled a bit and didn't find anything so
I'm starting here.
Cheers!

What is the best approach for supporting a language within a language.
For example, in some languages you can embed inline assembly or C code.
You could extend the bundle for the primary language to support the
syntax and completions of the embed language, but that seems a bit
redundant.
Is there a way to use existing language bundle code within another
bundle? Are there any examples of this?

Hello, usually I will option draw a box around some text, press

I would like to define this in a more exact way, and set up a bundle

OK, then I tried to link to some pasties and it does not work on this
wiki.
But indeed highlight seems to be nice and is very flexible in its
input. In particular it accepts input from stdin (where TM pipe your
text). So I installed it from macports but I don't have all the
options you have (--inlince-css, --enclose-pre etc.) because the
version there is too old.
Still a simple, one language (R here) bundle command could be:
highlight -X -l --include-style --syntax=R --style=print
input set to selection or document
output set to new document (or discard and add "| pbcopy" at the end
of the command).
This feeds the curent selection or document to highlight directly, not
need for the $TM_SELECTED_TEXT (and this solves your problems caused
by shell expansion I guess).
But creating a temporary file might still be desirable: if you create
it with the same extension as the current file, highlight will be able
to recognize the language and your bundle command will work for any
language.
Attached is my bundle item (currently set to display the HTML, pipe to
pbcopy if you want to copy). Here is the code:
# Extract file extension
extension=$(echo "$TM_FILEPATH" | awk -F "." {'print $NF'})
# Create a unique temporary file
tmpname=$(mktemp /tmp/TMtemp.XXXX)
tmpfile="$tmpname.$extension"
# Capture TM selection/Document
cat > $tmpfile
# Feed that to highlight
highlight --input="$tmpfile" -X -l --include-style --doc-title=$
(basename "$TM_FILEPATH") --style="vim-dark"
Hi all,
Thanks for the two replies. highlight is a cool program I found here,
http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/highlight_io.html
I made an attempt to create a TM command for this, and it seems to work without the need for a temp directory,

It seems to work, albeit with some warning (seems to be attempting at interpreting the code of TM_SELECTED_TEXT) but since I simply discard the output and use the clipboard it's fine for my purpose.

Apparently highlight (is that a command of your creation or something
else? It would help to know a little more about it) takes a file as
argument. So the only ways to have it work on a selection are:
1- to modify highlight to accept either a file or some raw text from
standard input (or only raw text)
2- copy the current selection to a temporary document and feed that to
highlight
If 1, then you can use highlight with no argument and set TM to feed
it selection or document. If the new version can only be made to
accept raw text you can still use it independently this way:
cat doc.r | highlight -H -...
If 2, the command would look like
# create a temporary document (cleanly)
tmpDoc=$(mktemp)
# fill it with TM input (selection or doc)
cat > $tmpDoc
# feed it to highlight
highlight $tmpDoc -H -...
Otherwise, depending on the purpose of these snippets, there are
plenty of online paste boards with syntax highlighting support for R,
and one is accessible from textmate (Paste selection online). You get
something like this:
http://pastie.textmate.org/private/epwkcdngtzljzkf1zxg
with a link you can embed in other pages (and I guess also in a wiki).
I am also pretty sure I saw some that could output the html that is
displayed (with the colors etc.).
Hop that helps.

Hi guys!
I've been using TextMate for a while (still a bit of a newbie though),
especially for Latex and I really LOVE everything about it. However, after
making a clean install due to a new MacBook I'm having some problems with
cleaning up the aux files that is created when I press cmd-R.
As I remember from my previous installation - all the aux files were deleted
when I clicked "clean up" in the html-window (that is displayed after cmd-R)
or by hitting ctrl-alt-delete, but now nothing happens - all files are still
in the folder where the .latex and .bib files are and the html-window
displays "Found 0 errors, and 0 warnings in 0 runs" after "clean up".
Have I messed something up or is there some issues with the "trash aux
files" command? Please help as it's so frustrating to have to manually
delete these files when, for instance, I've made some changes in the
.bib-file and need to include this new citation - but it only results in a
[?] until I manually delete the aux files and re-run "Typeset and view".
My installation:
TextMate v. 1.5.8 (1498)
Latex Bundle rev. 11510
MacTex 2008 with Skim as my selected viewer
Thanks so much for your help!!

Ps. Some time ago I read in some forum (maybe here I don't remember, sorry)
that the issue with "umlauts" in labels for sections (etc.) would be
addressed by changing the umlauts to the "normal" character without the
umlaut or a "_"-character as other special characters. Any news on this?

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programación_dinámica_(computación)
this only gives you problems, and TextMate is no an exception. TM is
unable to jump (Cmd-F1) to them.

That's right. To get a clean version, just removing HTML and mHTML in
both folders (if you have one in both folders) and restarting should
do the trick.

Sounds interesting, but to be honest, I do everything in XHTML, so I
probably won't spend the time to get the bundle to be both HTML/XHTML
ready... unless I go back to HTML for HTML 5, which is not impossible :)

This is actually on purpose and is there to add a extra tab trigger
(as far as I know, you can't add to different tab triggers to a single
snippet...). The idea was that, although the bundle works by typing
the 3 first letter of an element for all tab triggers, I'm guessing,
for four letter words it might be more intuitive to be able to type
"code" than "cod" so both are available... hope that makes sense.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I've updated my HTML bundle to be it's own bundle so it doesn't
overwrite the default's HTML bundle anymore. I also rewrote the
commands in Ruby to make it easier to read+ customized and improved
snippets. Info there:
http://minimaldesign.net/articles/read/textmate-html-bundle-v.1.5
Let me know if you manage to break anything ;) Or if you'd like to see
any additions...
PS: I'll be updating my CSS bundle to be its own bundle too, soon...
But there are so many snippets in that one, it'll take a little
longer...
Hi,
call it good or bad, I'm using soft tabs (spaces) for just about
everything. The shop I work in doesn't even allow tabs in (most) source
files. Soft tabs in TextMate work great – except that I really need hard
tabs (just like everyone else) in Makefiles. So, what I currently keep
doing is to copy&paste a tab character from some other place. I'd really
love to tell TextMate to use hard tabs for everything in scope of the
Makefile bundle, without changing my global setting. Is that possible?
(If yes, why is it not active in the Makefile bundle?) Will it be
possible in 2.0?

Hello,
As matlab code can't get compiled, I'm assuming you talk about running
matlab code from textmate.
I implemented an integration between MATLAB and Textmate, which allows
to run a script or the current cell in matlab when you are in
textmate. It only works when matlab runs in the terminal, as there is
NO WAY to communicate with the matlab java/X11 GUI.
Because the terminal is quite awful to use in interactive mode (no
mouse, different shortcuts, no syntax highlighting, problem with long
lines), I'm working on a matlab console bundle too, which works in a
similar way as the R-Console Bundle. I can communicate with matlab
both ways now. It's possible send commands to matlab and receive
matlab's output.
I sent an email to Thomas to discuss the integration of this in the
matlab bundle, but he seems busy now.
If you want more information about what I did, want to try, or better
if you want to help with this project (I'm quite bad at ruby, shell
scripts and other needed languages), send me an email.

When editing comments in TextMate, I frequently use the Reformat
Selection text routine to fix paragraphs who's lines have gone past 80
characters long (my Wrap Column). Unfortunately this has some
unexpected side-effects in Java, which along with nicely reformatting
my selected comments (respecting the *s in the beginning of the line
even!) adds redundant starting and ending comments: /* and */. Why
does this happen? What can I do to fix this?
To reproduce, select a few lines inside a javadoc-formatted Java
comment (/** * */), and hit ^Q.
Thanks,

Hello all, I'm trying to make use of some external refactoring tools
for Haskell, and I've written the following script:
#!/usr/local/bin/ runghc
import System.Cmd
where
main = do
c <- getContents
system ("/Users/ian/.cabal/bin/pointfree \"" ++ c ++ "\"")
Here's the problem:
Whenever I try to run the script, the output I get says "interpreter
failed: Permission denied". Now, I'm pretty sure that the script
execution fails even without executing the local program pointfree.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hello,
I have read this page
http://blog.macromates.com/2005/handling-encodings-utf-8/ and I use
UTF8 wherever I can. But, sometimes I have to open czech text-files,
made on MS Windows (not made by me), that are, almost without
exception, in "Central European (Windows Latin)", or, Windows 1250 (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1250 ).
ISO-8859-1 is different from Windows-1250, some of the czech letters
appear weird - for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ø instead of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ř
Right now, when I get file like that, I need to
1) open it in TextMate, only to find out I cannot open it
2) open TextEdit, open the file in TextEdit, re-save it in UTF8
3) open it in TextMate again, swearing on all sides
I personally find this procedure stupid and I would love to have the
opportunity to, at least, open the file in Windows-1250 and convert it
to UTF8 and not having to start another text editor.

Hi,
I recently opened one of my old Java files and remembered I used some
snippet to create a method and automatically create a header comment
and javadoc comment like this:
/**
* doSteps
*
* calculate n steps each lasting 0.005s
*
* @param steps number of steps each of which accounts for
0.005s
*/
public void doSteps(int steps) {
//do smth...;
}
I can't find this anywhere anymore. Can anyone help me out here? The
snippet automatically jumped to the return type, then the function
name (also inserting it at the top in the comment), then to the @param
thingy to enter text and finally to the function itself to write some
code. At least that's how I think it went. Might be that I idealize a
bit from bad memory :P
Does someone know of a snippet like this? I already searched the web
but couldn't find something. (Yeah I also searched the Javadoc
bundle... but it isn't there :( )
Maybe I was just dreaming of this snippet :(
Thanks,
Thomas Krajacic
Hi,
I'm sure that question must have been asked over and over, but I
couldn't find any similar question, so please forgive my ignorance.
I'm just wondering if there's any simple shortcut to navigate between
blocks. Suppose I'm in the middle of a big block, I want to go to the
end of it, or to the beginning. What's I'm currently doing is either
an F1 to fold the block, if I want to go outside (right after or right
before), but which is not ideal since I don't always want to actually
make the block invisible, or I use the Cmd-Shift-T to open the go to
symbol panel, then type Enter if I want to go to the beginning of the
block, or Down then Enter if I want to go to the end of the block. But
that's too many strikes.
Is there any direct shortcut for what I want - or how can I define
one? What are your habits on that topic? (I particularly use that when
writing LaTeX documents.)
Thanks,
enas
I think I got misunderstood by JiHo : I want to avoid the matlab GUI
as much as possible. The matlab-console I developed is an
implementation of the matlab console IN textmate.
For what I described I use a very similar command as JiHo, except that
I tend to use the cell mode (which Thomas added in the last version of
the bundle). And in this cases because the commands that are sent to
the terminal can be long, I use an temporary m-file (called cellrunner
in the following code).
I've came up with a better applescript thought, which is more robust
when you have several terminal windows or tabs running :
osascript<<END
tell application "Terminal"
set termwin to id of windows
set nwin to count of termwin
repeat with i from 1 to nwin
set ntab to number of tab of window i
repeat with j from 1 to ntab
set pr to processes of tab j of window i
set npr to count of pr
set runsmatlab to false
repeat with k from 1 to npr
set runsmatlab to "MATLAB" = item k of pr
end repeat
if runsmatlab then
set selected of tab j of window i to true
do script with command "cellrunner" in tab j of window i
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
tell application "MATLAB" to activate
END

Hi,
So I use Find in Project to search code and find various sources when
I've pulled down say.. a set of Java classes for an app. Once I find
a file I can click the file in the list of found items and it'll load
in the main window. But what I'd like is to also show that file in
the Project Drawer (since it's hidden somewhere in the hierarchy of
files).
Is this possible?

Hi
We all know TextMate doesn't have splitting windows. Do people who
want to have splitting windows just right-click the file to open a new
window?
I'd like to ask this question especially for hardcore TDD/BDD'er, who

and the test file with one key combination.
Anyway, I'm truly hoping that Allan is winning the ADC this year with

I wrote a PHP Snippet that outputs some FirePHP-based debugging information.
fb(\$${1:variable}, '${2:function} \$${1:label}');
I would like to replace ${2:function} with something that
automatically puts in the current function or class::method (if
available);
I notice in the status bar at the bottom of the editor window (to the
right of the Tab Size), there is a "Symbol Popup" menu. So it seems
like the information I need is available. Is there a variable in
TextMate that I can slap into the snippet? A $TM_CURRENT_SYMBOL or
something?
Thanks for your help!

Dear list,
after some initial discussion on the R-SIG-Mac-list I decided to send
my question to this list as well ...:
I encountered a problem in the combination of the SWeave and the LaTeX
bundle: when I start "Sweave, typeset & View", the .Rnw-file is
processed, but the log window shows "Error: PDF file not written to
disk" and the tex-file is not processed.
However, the sweaving was successful, as a valid .tex-file is in the
same folder which can be typesetted by latex without problem.
So, in general it works, I just want to avoid the extra step of
opening the .tex-file and would like to see my pdf directly opened
from SWeave-Bundle.
Some ideas already have been posted on the R-SIG-Mac-list, but they
didn't work for me:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.mac/3953/match=sweave+pdf+file+n…
Did anyone encounter the same problem / any suggestions for solutions?
Best regards,
Felix
Hello. When TM is looking at a file that was opened as a result of a
3rd party ftp application, is there any way to get to the full url
path to the remote server?
In BBedit, I would see sftp://foo@example.com/example.com/files/some_place/test.php
I would like to be able to access that url above, in each file, in
order to make a bundle. The idea is, that if I can get to that, I can
parse it, and inspire TM to open a browser and run the current code I
am working on, at the correct url.
Currently, I have a comment line at the top of a file, which is read
and parsed, and then passed to open in a bundle, which will open in
Safari for me. It sort of works around some of the issues I have with
the refresh running browsers, as it only refreshes the one page.
I would love to be able to not have to write the comment url, and have
it be more automatic. The only path I can see to access in TM now, is
one that points back to a tmp location, which is local, and not remote.

Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *
Recently I changed the keyboard shortcut for the Go To Fixture, Go To... etc
commands in the Ruby On Rails bundle.
I picked command-tilda as it's easy and not used by Text Mate.
Turns out Mac OS X uses it launch Front Row however.
At that point, those commands simply *disappeared* from the Ruby On Rails
bundle.
I've tried using the Bundles > Bundle Editor > Reload Bundles command but it
does not bring them back.
At this point, I'm considering:
# Deleting and reinstalling TextMate
# Manually recreating the missing commands, presumably by copy-pasting code
like this
(http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/Ruby%20on%20Rails.tmbundle/Commands/G…)
into the Bundle Editor
Both seem doable but time-consuming and with no guarantee of success.
Any suggestions for a quicker fix?
Many thanks in advance,
Steven.

This is probably a stupid question, but how do I
revert/undo a change that I made to a Theme?
For example, I opened the Preferences menu, then went to
"Fonts and Colors", and messed around with shading, etc.
I clicked on "Selection", because I wanted to darken the color
of selected text. However, I did something to mess it up.
There's no "Cancel" button or "Undo" menu item, so what do
I do if I don't want to save my changes to the colors?
I suspect that the best idea would be to copy the color
theme before editing, but that seems sort of kludgy.

Hi,
I noticed a problem with non-antialiased "programming" fonts being rendered
in a strange way in my TextMate 1.5.8 (1498). Some letters will look wrong
and blend with neighbouring characters.
Example screenshot for Consolas (11pt) with highlighted problem zones, note
the distorted dot on the i and the blending e and {:
http://www.quicksnapper.com/ballaschk/image/consolas-11pt/
Example screenshot for Pragmata (11pt) with highlighted problem zones, note
the distorted "g", "w" and "s":
http://www.quicksnapper.com/ballaschk/image/pragmata-11pt/
Monaco looks great, but makes it too hard for me to differentiate between
certain characters:
http://www.quicksnapper.com/ballaschk/image/monaco-9pt
I did not test with Profont or other small-size optimized fonts, but will do
soon. Do you experience the same problems? Any hints how to correct it?
Cheers
Martin

Every time I creates a tex file and compile it it generates me a bunch of
files (.aux etc etc) in the same directory.
Now I know that it's not a bundle's fault, doing it from the command line is
the same, but is there a way to make the pdflatex command put them somewhere
else (a tmp directory)?

I have two Macs running TextMate 1.5.8. I have some personal bundles
that I want to keep in sync between the two machines. I tried this:
On machine A, modify a bundle and quit the Bundle Editor to save the
bundle.
On machine A, reopen the Bundle Editor and drag the bundle to my
Desktop.
On machine A, scp -r the bundle directory from my Desktop to machine
B, into my Desktop.
On machine B, double-click the bundle. TextMate says "do you want to
update?".
On machine B, I click "yes". It seems to work.
Yet the bundle on machine B doesn't have the changes that I made while
I was on machine A.
Any suggestions appreciated. Note that I have MobileMe, and would
love to cut down on the manual work that the above (unsuccessful)
approach requires.

Not sure if this is a bug or feature. I've found that the text
selection behavior upon double-clicking, then dragging, is way too
"greedy" of characters. Is this something that can be fixed, or
overrridden?
For instance, let's say you double click on the 'doQueryParams' in
this snippet of PHP:
doQueryParams($query, array() );
.... then drag to the right. Let's say that I want to select up to
and including the comma after "$query". Well, I can't - the selection
jumps to the end of "array".
Other editors like SubEthaEdit or TextEdit do what I would expect --
the non-alpha characters are selected individually, so I can select
the comma, the space, and then if I continue on it will select the
whole word 'array', then each parenthesis, etc.
Is it just me that's driven absolutely mad by this? It really slows
me down......
