by Mojca Miklavec

Hello, Can someone please give me hint how to implement the following simple auto-complete scheme in TextMate: 1. We have three commands: \hi, \hello, \world 2. They can be used as: a) \hi[mum] or \hi[mum,dad,grandpa] or \hi[mummy,daddy] ... where we are allowed to put only one of the words mum, mummy, dad, daddy, grandma, grandpa into brackets (can be a list) b) \hello[mum,grandpa] ... the same way as \hi is used c) \world[shape=sphere,color=blue] or \world[color=brown] where one can use only "shape=sphere/geoid/cube" and "color=blue/black/gray/brown" I'm confident with writing ruby code, but I need some basic hints for the TextMate part of it. Thanks a lot, Mojca

synctex support in LaTeX bundle

by Mark Moll

Are there any plans to add synctex support to the LaTeX bundle? Synctex is part of the *tex engine and replaces pdfsync. It will be part of TeXLive 2008. Skim.app already includes support for synctex. -- Mark

Spelling in comments

by Eric Uner

In looking at how spell checking in comments works, and searching the archives for alternatives and suggestions, I can see spelling is disabled in comments because, as Alan points out, "a lot of comments are actually commented out code." Good point, and I can clearly see there is no one way that can make everyone happy. In my case, a tremendous amount of useful documentation is in code comments, and spelling errors make the code less professional. I am constantly going to an external editor, or typing the comment into a blank area of the document inside a quote so that TextMate thinks it is a string, then removing the quote and hitting command+/. I'm thinking about crating a shell script or bundle or something to do all this. Does anyone have any more "elegant" suggestions? It would be great if there was a way, for example, to have a menu item (perhaps even a bundle) that could just spell check the selection regardless of the context. Thank you for any suggestions. Doc

Matching multiple lines in a grammar pattern

by Nate Cavanaugh

Hi all, I'm trying to add an invalid scope to a certain group of lines. Basically, the regex pattern I would like to match is this: ^(\n){2,} Which works fine in the Find dialog, but when trying to use it as a pattern, it doesn't work. I am guessing because of the way that the pattern matching works for grammars, but is there a way to match this? The logic is, I would like to match every line that has no content on it, but is part of a group of 2 or more extraneous lines. One \n is valid, but 2 or more is invalid. I've tried so many variations of trying to use captures, matching content, but it seems to be treating each line as it's own match independent of the previous or next ones. Anyone know how I might go about applying this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Matching-multiple-lines-in-a-grammar-pattern-tp189011… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Feature Request: Bibdesk Support for Latex Watch in Latex bundle

by Jan Michael

Hi Textmate and LaTex-Users, with my current workflow writing a masters thesis I frequently add books via BibDesk to my bibliography. Currently I have to run BibTex separatly to propagate changes in my *.bib file to the latex main document. But I think this could also be done by the latex_watch.pl script of the latex bundle. Is this possible? Cheers, Jan

I must be one of the few that got TM1 specifically because TM2 was advertised as a free upgrade. I figured I would learn what the editor was all about and be familiar with the basics when the new version came out, I assumed, soon after Leopard. Well, that time came and went and there are enough niggling things in TM, particularly with the python bundle (the language I edit the most), that I went searching elsewhere. For me the single most frustrating thing with the python bundle is that you need to add blank lines with spaces to line up the end of a class / def in order for code folding to work. That is not only annoying for me, but other team members as well. A close #2 is also with folding, which breaks if you start function parameters on a new line rather than on the same line, e.g. test = some_func( param1, param2) Perfectly legal, but you need to do this in order to have any hope folding code: test = some_func(\ param1, param2) Legal, but annoying, especially working with a team where I don't have control of the entire source's coding style. -berto.

Scrollbar bug

by Morten Skyt

Hey, I tried sending this a week ago to the mailing list through that webinterface, Nabble, but as there was no responses, I recon it didn't come through, so here I try again: I just noticed a peculiar bug with the scrollbars when browsing the database. Apparently, the resizing of the window often causes some of the scrollbars to be either fully or partially hidden. I've tried searching the posts through nabble.com and it didn't seem this issue was debated, but as this is my first time here, I apologize if I was wrong... I've recorded a little video which demonstrates the bug. Textmate is build 1464. http://skythost.com/stuff/textmatescrollbarbug.mov Regards, Morten Skyt

How to target specific fields for a "Change to Titlecase" in SQL

by John Stephens

Hi, I'm new. I'm working on a custom Textpattern installation and my client has entered a massive amount of text data in certain fields using UPPERCASE. He wants the text displayed in Title Case instead, and he doesn’t want to manually change it. I can easily use the style declaration "text-transform: capitalize;" for these elements, but my client would very much prefer formal title case in which words such as “the,” “of,” “and,” and “for” are not capitalized. (I see that Textmate’s "Convert to Titlecase" command in the "Text" menu does this correctly.) I have made a mysql dump of the database, but I'm not sure how to isolate the appropriate data for a text transformation. Here is how each individual record is formatted in the database: (91,'2008-08-03 05:20:57','author-username','2008-08-03 05:26:33','','UPPERCASE DATA','','','','','','','UPPERCASE-DATA','', 0,'Comment',0,4,1,1,'section-name','','lowercase-data','lowercase- data','','','','','','','','','','','UPPERCASE DATA','','lowercase- data','3p344629nn178n874sp2s222s0q3n072','2008-08-03') The mysql dump also contains uppercase terms such as "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" and lowercase terms like "datetime" and "varchar" that I _don't_ want changed. Is there a simple way to target just the UPPERCASE DATA fields enclosed in single quotes for a massive "Covert to Titlecase"? I welcome advise from regular expression fu-masters and Textmate adepts! Thanks in advance! John Stephens

Re: TextMate 2, I give it up

by Christopher Boerger

> Please, lets not start this again. > Be happy with what you have, and dream of TM2 at night, > but for the love of god, stop complaining in the mean time. I think it's fair enough to ask. TextMate 2 has been talked about for what, 1.5 -2 years now? There's rarely an update as to the progress either, which is what I think is the main reason people ask "so where's TextMate 2.0 at?" It's a closed-source commercial product (which, for the record, is okee dokee by me) so, in my opinion, there is more responsibility in communicating with your customers. Nobody can just hop in and adopt the open-source "don't like it, then fix it" approach. Why are people so defensive about talking about it? Perhaps I missed a TextMate 2.0 mega-flame battle prior to subscribing to this list. Clearly TextMate is great. Clearly TextMate is an impressive version 1.x generation product. However, if you really think that TextMate is so complete then I question if you have used any other text editor or IDE or if you are just a fanboy. Basic features like split panes windows and a decent undo system are missing. Because those features are so basic it means their absence is felt nearly every time I use TextMate. I won't get into what features from what editors are missing/ would be nice but I list those two only to underscore the point that TextMate, while great, still has, at the very least, some basic functionality missing. Basic functionality that will, we assume, be addressed with TextMate 2.0. There isn't a day the goes by that I don't lament the lack of a split pane window. Please note that this does not imply I don't think TextMate doesn't have many great things about it that other editors are missing. TextMate rocks. Therefore, after a long, silent wait since its announcement and the fact that there are still some glaring holes with the current release I think it's fair to ask, "so where's 2.0 at?" It's not a complaint, it's just a question and a reasonable one at that.

Mactex wiki doesn't mention TextMate

by Snyder, David F

I was checking on the synctex issue brought up yesterday and while looking at the MacTex wiki (for "TeX on a Mac") there is no mention of TextMate as a TeX editor or "frontend", which is rather surprising since I've used all of the editors and front ends mentioned and found TextMate's approach preferable. I've not the time right now, but perhaps some enterprising soul from this list might wish to rectify the situation: http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Sincerely -- David F.

Changing

by Steve Lianoglou

Hi all, When entering commit comments using the subversion bundle, you can submit the dialog box by hitting the Enter key w/o having to grab the mouse and hit the Commit button with the cursor. I was wondering if I could change which key invokes the "Commit" command in the dialog box. Since the Enter key is a multi-step dance on my keyboard, I was hoping to be able to switch it from Enter to "Shift-Return", or something similar. Anyone know if that's possible? Thanks, -steve ps. Sorry for the bad subject line, can't think of any handy one-liner to summarize my question.

tmCommand, Dialogs and multiple outputs (Ack problem)

by Adam Strzelecki

Hi, I don't know if it was discussed already but there's something that bothers me very much, the way showAsHTML in tmCommand works. Right now using "Ack in Project" with ⇧⌘A opens empty blank output window (killing old window if it was there), then Ack displays dialog asking for the search query, if I press cancel output is left blank. I was thinking it was fault of Ack scripts themselves, but unfortunately it is way the commands work in TM. So my Q is, would it be feasible to: (1) Show output window only once command writes something into the output first time -> So in Ack when the window is popped up we don't see output window yet, and when we Cancel we won't see the output as well (it will mimic better expected interface) (2) Ability to create multiple output windows for single tool, currently Ack has its own single output window so: * When I search something new, all my previous results are killed, even when I press by mistake the shortcut, now the output window is emptied * I wish to search for few things at once and make all the results stay Seting "uid" to nothing (or removing the uid section from tmCommand) somehow makes many output windows to show up (2), but something wrong makes sometimes TM crash with such windows.

TextMate 2, I give it up

http:wiki.macromates.com/FAQ/TextMate2: Q: Will TM2 be a free upgrade? Yes. Except for users who got TM1 as part of the MacHeist package.

Web preview enhancements?

by Marco De Vitis

Hi, regarding web development with TextMate and its web preview: I found the http://wiki.macromates.com/GUI/WebPreviewEnhancements page, and wondered if everything written there still applies, and if any workarounds exist, especially for the following two issues: > Don't close it when a different tab is selected in the TextMate main > window > Add an option to refresh the Web Preview window if "any" file in the > project has changed. This would be useful for anyone editing CSS > files and wishes to see the changes immediately. The lack of these two features unfortunately makes the preview rather useless when developing a new site from scratch while using a separate CSS file. I'll add to these that AFAICT, when editing a long HTML page, the web preview goes back to the top each time it's refreshed, making it useless again if you're working on an area at the bottom of the page. Am I missing anything? Thanks :). -- Ciao, Marco.

mate command broken after security update 2008-005

by Sean Lynch

Yesterday I installed the os x security update 2008-005. Now the mate command takes a very long time to run. For instance if I type "mate ." to open the current folder it can take up to five minutes to complete the command. The length of time to open the directory seems to be proportional to the number of files in the directory. If I use mate to open a single file it still takes 10-20 seconds. Also, I don't know if this is related or if it will help diagnose this problem but after the update I noticed another difference in the terminal usage. In my .profile I have export CLICOLOR=1 export LSCOLORS=DxGxcxdxCxegedabagacad But after the update "ls -la" won't use color when printing results. I wish I could give more information but I don't really know where to begin. Has anyone had any similar experiences.

LaTeX Bundle and Terminal

by gkv1＠mac.com

Hello, I'm using TextMate a lot for Latex - it a great editor and bundle for that. I have one question: How can I open a terminal, or go to a pre-existing terminal window, from TextMate, and then run a given shell script in the terminal, in particular a shell script that would typeset the master document? One reason I want to do this is that the latex bundle seems to typeset in nonstop mode. If there is an error, it highlights it but keeps on running if possible. This is not always optimal, as one would sometimes like to be able to press the 'h' key and see what help TeX can offer in finding the error. One could do this easily from a terminal, and it would be nice to call this with a keystroke from TextMate. It is presumably possible to modify the LaTeX bundle to do this from the console - and perhaps this is already doable but I don't know? But in any case, I'd still like to be able to open a terminal window as above. Thanks Geoff Vallis

Latex label creation

Hi Textmate-List, is it possible that the labels which are automatically created on writing a new chapter, section, subsection and so on also recognize German Umlauts ä,ö,ü as well as ß? Right now these characters do not got replaced by ae, oe, ue and ss so that you have to do it yourself if you want end up in an compile error with latex (pretty annoying when using the "WatchLatex" script). It would be of much help if the label creation function could handle this. Can anyone help? As far as I can see the regexp has to be extended. Best regards, Jan

Why multi-line commenting for Java bundle?

by Trevor Harmon

Hi all, Normally, when you execute the Comment Line command, it inserts a single-line comment (e.g., // in C). That's true for Python, Ruby, C/C+ +, Objective-C, shell scripts, you name it... but not Java. For some reason the Java bundle inserts multi-line comments (/* ... */). This leads to problems when trying to uncomment lines. For example: 1. Select N lines 2. Hit Command+/ to comment the lines 3. Cancel the selection 4. Go back and select the same N lines 5. Hit Command+/ to uncomment the lines This works in all the other modes, but in Java, it's impossible. The problem is step 4. Instead of selecting just the same N lines, you have to extend the selection to N+1 lines, but only far enough to select the first two characters in the N+1 line (to capture the trailing "*/"). And if you really want some fun, try uncommenting only some of the lines. Again, works perfectly in every mode but Java. So, basically, the Comment Line command seems only half-baked for the Java bundle. I realize I could probably fix this myself by hacking around in the Bundle Editor, but shouldn't the bundle be using single- line comments by default? Even if there's some benefit of multi-line comments that I'm missing, you'd think the Java bundle would still use single-line comments for the sake of consistency. Why's the Java bundle such an oddball? Trevor

Speeding up Xcode builds

by Gerd Knops

I like to build and run my Xcode projects using the "Build & Run" command from the Xcode bundle, both for convenience and because my debug output and exceptions are formatted in such a way that it can be clicked in the output window so TextMate jumps to that section in the code. With Xcode 3 that has become a little trying though: Every time the underlying xcodebuild command is launched, it goes through a rather lengthy "Checking Dependencies" phase. Xcode itself seems to cache the results from that phase, it is only slow the first time a project is built after opening it in Xcode. Hoping that it might help others, I came up with with the command attached below. It uses Xcode to build the project, and (upon success) hides Xcode and launches the freshly built application in such a way that the output goes to the normal "Build With Xcode" window. If compilation fails, it leaves Xcode in the front. I set Xcode to use the "Condensed" layout, positioned the "Build Results" window to be the same size and location as TextMate's "Build With Xcode" window, and set TextMate as external editor for all source files. So double- clicking on an error message will still jump to that location in the code in TextMate, just like the original Build With Xcode" window would do with a single click. Hope that helps someone, feedback welcome. Gerd

Error in CVS bundle

by Jürgen Albertsen

Hi, please see the stack trace below that I get whenever I try to commit something with the CVS bundle. I made a fresh install of both TextMate (Version 1.5.7 (1464)) and the CVS bundle. Because the error occurs in the builder.rb file is this in any way related to a provious bug that prevented the Rails plugin to run focussed test? Thanks, Jürgen Stacktrace: Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:99: undefined method `keys' for []:Array (NoMethodError) from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:99 from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:97 from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:25 from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:19

Combining files?

by W. Thomas Leroux

I have about 45 files I'd like to combine into one, and short of opening each one and copy & pasting it into the new one, I don't see a clear way to do this in Textmate. I'm certain there *is* a way, I'm just not seeing it. Suggestions? Thanks! -- All about me! http://www.leroux.ca

Autocompletion

by podperson

I realize there's some kind of workaround to make autocompletion work in a vaguely pleasant way: http://www.nabble.com/Autocompletion-to17643856.html#a17643856 But is there a more user-friendly option. (I happen to have XCode installed on my machine, but I imagine there are members of the target audience for TextMate who won't.) Are there plans to make autocompletion part of TextMate's core functionality? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Autocompletion-tp18700987p18700987.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Suggestion to improve doctohtml.rb => relative line numbering

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Dear all, I'm just writing a a tiny bundle 'Copy Formatted as' RTF (Xe)TeX wordml HTML ... I was inspired by the bundle Copy as RTF by Max Muermann (kindly hosted at github by Dr Nic Williams) [I found it with GetBundles ;)]. This bundle works fine for RTF but it lacks UTF-8 support. Thus I went an other way to achieve that and it works perfectly also for TeX ;) But back to my suggestion. It often occurs to me that I'm to write a tiny paper, article or whatever about a piece of source code I wrote. For that purpose I often need doctohtml.rb with line numbering. Fine. But one thing I cannot do with it. If I write something about a piece of code between line 10 to 20 and I want to refer to line number in my text the default doctohtml.rb produces line numbers between 1 to 10. Due to that fact I thought it would be nice to have an option to produce relative line numbers. I modified doctohtml.rb a bit to achieve that. Here's the diff (also attached to that mail): --- untitled +++ (clipboard) @@ -189,10 +189,10 @@ return lines.join("\n") end -def number(str) +def number(str, rel_numbering = false) # number each line of input lines = str.split(/\n/) - n = 0 + n = (rel_numbering) ? ENV['TM_INPUT_START_LINE'].to_i - 1 : 0 lines.each do | line | n += 1 line.gsub!(/^(<\/span>)?/, "\\1#{ sprintf("% 5d", n) } ") @@ -255,7 +255,7 @@ end end - code_html = number(code_html) if opt[:line_numbers] + code_html = number(code_html, rel_numbering = opt [:relative_numbering]) if opt[:line_numbers] html << "<pre class=\"textmate-source" html << " #{theme_class}" unless theme_class.empty? By doing so one can call document_to_html like that: document_to_html( STDIN.read, {:relative_numbering => true, :line_numbers => true, :include_css => true } If one leaves the new option out the line numbering starts at 1. Hopefully this tiny improvement will be accepted soon ;) Thanks, --Hans

Silverlight Development?

by Sean Clark Hess

Hey everybody, don't ask why, but I have to do a small project in Silverlight :) I have read a couple of comments on blogs from Textmate users who are doing it, but the closest I've come to any kind of description on how to do it was from John Lam http://hex-dump.blogspot.com/2008/03/silverlight-2-sdk-mac-os-x-and-mono.ht… He's using mono to run chiron.exe in the Silverlight 2 Dynamic Language SDK. Is anyone doing it any differently? Thanks ~sean

Web Preview w/ PHP includes and CSS / images?

by Neil Lee

I'm sure this has been asked a number of times, but I can't seem to locate any answers after searching extensively through the list archives and online. I'm trying to get the web preview window to a) display relatively linked images and CSS files, and b) process all PHP includes referred to in the file. I've got the first one working by using Thomas Aylott's ruby script, but I can't seem to get the PHP includes working at the same time. Can anyone put me out of my misery and give me an idea of how to get this working? I've got TM_PROJECT_SITEROOT and TM_PROJECT_SITEURL set properly. Thanks! Neil

Moving tabs with the keyboard

by Nate Cavanaugh

Hi all, I know the tab overflow thing has been discussed quite a bit before, but I had a question that I couldn't seem to find the answer for. Is there any way to move tabs with a keyboard shortcut? I often have over 35 files open at a time as I work in a project on different tasks, but often I'll have about 15-20 of those spilled over into the overflow. The problem is, many times I'll have multiple tasks that overlap in file access, and I would like to move one tab next to another so I don't have to keep Command+Arrow-ing over multiple files (which often times I don't remember which ones are hidden behind the overflow, or what order). The only references I've heard to rearranging tabs is to use the mouse, but I didn't know if there is some hidden way to do this, or some other type of work around. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Moving-tabs-with-the-keyboard-tp18671843p18671843.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: LaTeX label completion messed up by - (dash) (Evan Berkowitz)

by Max Lein

> The completion command picks the current word (rather, gets the > current word from textmate), looks that up and completes based on > that. In this case, since - and/or : are not considered word > characters, a label such as "here-is-a-label", if we are at "here- > is", will be completed as if it as only showing the "is" part.

The whole point of using the colon was, of course, the ability to navigate quickly via alt+left/right within the label/citation (e. g. to fix something or so). It's a pity the fix is difficult, autocompletion really rocks and has improved my workflow a lot. Now I just stop short of the first colon, but the list is usually not short (I'm into mathematical physics, so I have to label sections, theorems, formulas, etc.), so it would be nice to have. But if it's just not possible with the current methods, I guess we have to wait for the programmer to add what we want and need ... But in any case, thanks for the explanation. And I know now that this is a pet peeve of others as well and not just myself :-) > However, Ctrl+left/right should still do the right thing. Huh? Ctrl+left/right switches spaces on my system. Max

Re: LaTeX label completion messed up by - (dash) (Evan Berkowitz)

I'm having the same problem, I prefer using colons to logically separate labels of any kind (including citations) so I can jump back and forth easier (with alt + left/right), but I'd always get duplicate parts. A fix would be much appreciated :-) Max

LaTeX label completion messed up by - (dash)

by Evan Berkowitz

I am currently writing a many-file textbook using a master.tex file. To label figures, tables, sections, etc. without a collision of labels I have been using the convention: chapter-name:section-name:my-label So, for instance, I have a the following in the file which labels an example which has to do with the tension in the string of a pendulum in the section "Pick A Nice Point" in the chapter "Answer Strategies" \label{answer-strategies:pick-a-nice-point:pendulum-tension} Now, when I try to do completion \ref{answer-stra[[press Alt-escape, select completion]]} I wind up with a duplication of anything that comes before the last typed dash: \ref{answer-answer-strategies:pick-a-nice-point:pendulum-tension} instead of the expected: \ref{answer-strategies:pick-a-nice-point:pendulum-tension} Another example below. Does anyone know how to work around this? I've already typed about one hundred labels and references, and I so far I have put up with correcting the completion each time. It's getting old, though. Thanks a lot, Evan -------------------------------------------------- Another example would be: \ref{answer-strategies:pick-a-nic[[Alt-escape]]} yields \ref{answer-strategies:pick-a-answer-strategies:pick-a-nice- point:pendulum-tension} instead of \ref{answer-strategies:pick-a-nice-point:pendulum-tension}

Tester wanted for the new bundle "GetBundles"

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I just uploaded the bundle "GetBundles" to the review trunk. It is the first try to provide an easy and hopefully fast GUI to install additional bundles hosted on the svn repositories Mactomates Bundles, Macromates Review, and the git repository at github.com. There is a tiny screencast: http://www.bibiko.de/TM_GetBundles.mov (5MB) It is implemented as an async DIALOG window showing a table of all found bundles in the three repositories as 'Repository' (B := Bundles, R := Review, G ;= GitHub), 'name', 'description'. If one invokes that window firstly it looks for the all bundles at these repositories. If it finds a bundle description in the cache file for a given bundle it displays that description; if not it shows "not yet downloaded". At the bottom you will see how many bundle descriptions are missing. For the github it always downloads the descriptions, meaning these descriptions aren't cached. If there are some missing one can press the "update" button. The table and the cache will be updated. The GUI provides a search field. One can search for names and/or bundle descriptions. The search can be restricted to a given repository, and in addition there is also the chance to search by using a regexp à la ".*rtf.*[cd]op.*". One can select one or more bundles (from different repositories) and press "Install Bundles" (one also can double-click). Furthermore one can select the installation target Prinstine Copy, ~ Bundles, App Bundle, etc. or 'user defined'. If 'user defined' was chosen one can select a folder. The script will install a bundle by using svn (bundle intern or TM_SVN) or 'git clone' (git or TM_GIT). If git is not installed it will download the bundle as zip file from github and installs that one. There is the chance to show the installation log file. Next there is an 'Advanced' button. It opens a drawer with up to now one button "Update TextMate's Support Lib" which installs the latest Support/lib items. If a folder already exists the script will ask you what to do. You can cancel or replace the old one. If one chooses 'replace' the script will backup the old folder as OLDFOLDERNAME + a time stamp for safety reasons. After installing a Reload Bundles will be done. The entire script works with DIALOG1 or, if installed, with DIALOG2 If someone wants to test it you can check out it from the review repository and just download it via http://email.eva.mpg.de/~bibiko/downloads/textmate/GetBundles.tmbundle.zip Please, for the first time you should select a 'user defined' folder as installation target. Furthermore I would be pleased if a Ruby expert can go through the code. I'm not the Ruby specialist ;) I tried to get rid of all circumstances, esp. for errors. All relevant commands are wrapped into timeout and rescue blocks. But maybe I forgot something ;) The only way to close that window is to press the Cancel button or simply ESC. OPTION+W won't work. The script makes usage of some threads, thus these threads should be aborted safely. All errors, installation commands will be written into a log file located in the bundle's lib path. This log file will be erased each time if one invokes "GetBundles". I tested it on Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.4 on a ppc Mac with DIALOG1 and 2. I didn't use the command line tool 'textmate' and 'thor'. By my opinion it is 'only' command line tool. Any comments? Does the script run? What is unclear? What is ugly? What was misspelled? Are there any fatal errors or freezing stuff? What else can be done? If a fatal error occurred and the window freezes at the screen, you can destroy that window by entering: "$DIALOG" - l TOKEN or "$DIALOG" window close TOKEN for DIALOG2 The token can be found at the beginning of the log file. Please also check if there are still running a Ruby, git, svn, tm_dialog(2) process in the Activity Monitor. Thanks, --Hans

To reproduce: - Have some folded blocks - Tripple-click-drag downwards to extend selection by lines - Blocks are unfolded, but the scroll bar is not updated The only way to get to the text that fell through the bottom is to manually fold/unfold something.

GetBundles - What's about tmCommands, etc. ?

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, regarding to the issue tmbundles what's about tmCommands? I could imagine that there are quite a few very useful tmCommands on the market. These tmCommands could be hosted at github like: sort-table-tmCommand show-duplicate-lines-tmCommand Then I could add an additional tag tmCommand to GetBundles. THese tmCommands will be installed into the user's tmbundle. Maybe the same for tmSnippet, tmMacros, tmPreferences, tmTheme ? --Hans

completion in LaTeX \ref{}

by Kyle Johnson

I am a heavy user of the completion key (escape) in LaTeX. At present, when I press the escape key when I am inside a \ref{} command, it offers me the first completion that it finds in the list that it generates when I press the alt+escape key inside a \ref{} command. That list is alphabetical (so far as I can see). It would be more useful (for me) if instead it offered as its first choice the contents of the most recent \label{} command, and then offered them in reverse order. (That is, if it behaved like it does when it is not within a \ref{} command.) Indeed, it would be more useful (I think) if the alt+esc key produced its offerings in reverse chronological order when pressed within \ref{}. Is it possible to manipulate the order in which escape offers up its completions? Many thanks, Kyle

Feature request: Have Header/Source and Go To File honor directories

by Lars Pind

Hi Allan and friends, I have a source tree structure like this: www/ site/ index.tcl, .adp one.tcl, .adp edit.tcl, .adp item/ index.tcl, .adp one.tcl, .adp edit.tcl, .adp The fact that files are named the same, but in different directories: - Confuses both the Cmd-Opt-Up "Go to Header/Source" feature, which will gladly find www/item/one.adp when I'm editing www/site/one.tcl. It would be good if it would prefer the file in the current directory when one exists. Otherwise, it's a great feature. - Similarly, when using Cmd-T "Go to file", which I use almost exclusively to open up new files now, it would be great if I could write "itemonetcl" to get item/one.tcl, as opposed to site/one.tcl. Currently, it doesn't take the path into account at all. I can see some downsides to changing current behavior, too, particularly with the Go to file feature. But let me know what you think. /Lars

Searching for Objective-C documentation

by Dave Baldwin

The current Documentation for Word / Selection and Documentation for Selector in the Objective-C bundle doesn't find a many of the classes and selectors for lots of things now in Leopard (CAAnimation, for example) or in the iPhone SDK. Having looked at the existing implementations of these commands I decided it would be easier to replace them rather than hack what was there already. My implementation of these commands uses an Apple supplied tool (docsetutil) to search for the word, etc. in the docsets so don't need any private index lists to find words quickly. This has the big advantage that the index is always up to date and covers every framework. The code is a lot simpler as well. The only downside I can see is this may only work with Leopard - I don't know and don't have any easy way of finding if it works with Tiger. I didn't work through all the ramifications of the original selector identification code so it is possible my version has some holes - I have tried it with lots of examples and it seems to work, but if any problem cases are discovered I will be pleased to fix them. To install this version copy the enclosed ruby file to /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ directory and edit the two commands (or make two new commands) as follows: Documentation for Word: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/docset_query' documentation_for_word with input, output and scope selector as per the original. Will show a list of candidates if more than one and also prefix them with the language if more than one is present (hint try selecting init outside of a [ ]. Documentation for Selector: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/docset_query' documentation_for_selector with input set to "Entire Document", output "Show as Tool Tip" and scope selector as per the original. If there is interest in absorbing this work into the official distribution that is fine by me and I hope I haven't committed any sins in where the helper file is stored. Dave.

Auto replace on load&save?

by Jonas Zimmermann

Hi everyone (this is a debut), so far I've been using TeXShop for my LaTeX writing. I've written an extension to it that allows me type all kinds of Unicode symbols (such as greek letters, relation symbols and whatnot) in TeXShop which get converted to LaTeX code (so "≤" becomes "\leq" etc) on saving (or loading) based on a 1-1 mapping list. Thus, the text is readable on screen while the code remains portable. Now, I'd like to switch to Textmate because of its better project management (and because I've paid for it...). I wonder whether I can keep this functionality on which I heavily depend. Are there auto replace on save/load solutions available? Sorry if this has been discussed before (although I haven't found it) or it's obvious (though I hae used TextMate for a while, I didn't do much customizing). Best, Jonas

DIALOG2 - return more than one argument (a bit urgent)

Hi, sorry for this maybe naïve question. How can I return more than one argument from a async window. I have a 'OK' button which is bound to target 'selection.controller' using 'returnArgument:' and then I have two arguments bound to a popup list item and the selected entries of a table. Fine. But I can only return either the popup item or the table selection. But I need both. If I bind the button to performButtonClick: I get the entire parameters but the table is very large. But I don't get the returnCode or returnButton (?) Is there a way to return more than one argument? Thanks in advance. --Hans

PATH, oh PATH

by Svoop

Hi there I'm using Gentoo Prefix to get all the funky tools and therefore the PATH is to be overridden with /Gentoo/bin and friends in order to precede the stuff that comes with Mac OS X. However, some TM plugins seem to have a problem with that - such as the RSpec.tmbundle. It's nagging that some gems are missing which means that it's not using the Ruby installed under /Gentoo but the one bundled with the OS. I've tried to set PATH in TM's preferences but that doesn't change a thing. Anyone a solution for this at hand?

Option to allow cursor to be placed in the void

by Tim Harper

I don't know what I did, or how I did it, but somehow TextMate places the cursor, by default, out in the void, where there are no tabs, spaces, or characters. For example: I'm on line 1, column 80. Line 2 has 5 characters. I press down. I'm on line 2, column 80. I type the letter 'a'. 74 spaces are inserted up to column 80, then the character 'a' is inserted. How do I switch this behavior back, so that pressing down brings me to the end of the line, but not out in the void? Thanks! Tim

DIALOG - wait for input as a loop

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, sorry if this question will be asked again but I didn't find something relevant in the mailing list. Supposing I have a NIB with five buttons. One of them is a Cancel button and all others are named 1 to 4. I open that NIB asynchronously. Fine. But now I want to write a script which listens at that NIB window to get the button code which is pressed. If the Cancel button is pressed I want to destroy that NIB window. Fine. If one of the button 1 to 4 is pressed I want to execute a command depending on what button is pressed but the NIB window should be kept on the screen and waits for further input from the user. Is this theoretically possible? Thanks in advance, --Hans

LaTeX: Wrapping once more and Extended Set of Citations

by Hans-Martin v. Gaudecker

I'm new to TextMate, mainly used it for LaTeX editing so far and very much like it. I know it's not a new issue (http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2007-October/022871.html etc), but I am seriously missing any way to wrap my text -- I am collaborating via svn with coauthors who are working on different platforms (and some of them with all-too-basic editors) and hence, having paragraphs in long lines is out of the question. As suggested before, hard-wrapped paragraphs are certainly not the perfect solution, but they work reasonably well with line-based diff tools (and there is no way I can get my coauthors to use others). It is not necessarily a question of automatic hard-wrapping. I would be fine to ``manually'' do that only before committing a file. For now it's opening it in Emacs and hitting C-c C-q C-e. Does it seem feasible to extend the Control-Shift-H "Tidy" functionality of the LaTeX bundle to include hard-wrapping at a user-specified point, maybe along these lines: http://blog.macromates.com/2006/wrapping-text-with-regular-expressions/ ? Would also be great if one was able to do that by paragraph (Emacs Alt-q). Another thing is that I am using the harvard citation styles and it feels a bit strange to have \cite{.} highlighted differently than \citeasnoun{.} etc. Can anybody help me out on whether the list of citation commands is adjustable and if so, how? Many thanks and best wishes, Hans-Martin

cool rubymate help feature that comes and goes

by Matt Neuburg

For a while, there was this great feature in RubyMate. When you select a term in your script and press control-H, RubyMate would consult ri (or fri or whatever it is) and, if there were multiple alternatives found, would list them all in a little tooltip or popup menu beneath the mouse. So if you said "gsub" you might see Kernel#gsub, String#gsub, and so on. This is a menu so you could click an alternative and do a lookup of that in the help. Very nice. The thing is, though, that this feature has completely vanished as if I'd only dreamt it. Does anyone know how I can get it back? RubyMate's ri interface was really pretty good, because so much of it was clickable links. The Terminal ri interface is very inconvenient because none of it is clickable links, but that's pretty much what I'm stuck with now. It's so disappointing that I'm thinking of writing my own ri interface app for Mac OS X (stop me if there is one already). m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!

PyMate broken

by Michael Glassford

I was getting errors (Ruby errors, I believe) when trying to use the TODO List bundle, so, finding the "TODO Bundle Broken" thread in this list and trying to follow the advice there, I deleted some bundles (and some unused plugins I discovered in the process) from "~/Library/Application Support/Textmate" and also updated all the bundles in my "/Users/mjg/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/" directory from subversion. Now the TODO List bundle is working beautifully (for the first time!), but when I try to use PyMate "Run Script" command to run a Python file I get this error: "-e:2:in `require': No such file to load -- /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/tm/executor (LoadError) from -e:2". It's true that there is no such file--in fact, the "/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/tm/" directory does not exist. Why is this error happening and what should I do about it? For what it's worth: other PyMate commands (such as "Run Script (Terminal)" still appear to work correctly. I'm running the latest "Cutting-Edge" TextMate, Version 1.5.7 (1464). Thanks, Mike

LaTeX (Sweave)/HTML/Markdown and Rdaemon (R)

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, while developing the Rdaemon I had one single question in my mind. How can you integrate Rdaemon in documents like LaTeX, HTML, Markdown etc. Up to now I fiddled around with automatically copy&pasting R stuff, thought about modifying Sweave etc. But I believe I found hopefully a very easy solution. One only has to use TextMate's wondrous facilities. ;P Everybody knows, e.g. if one writes an HTML doc you have the HTML scope with all commands behind it. Then one inserts a new CSS declaration. If you are inside of such a CSS tag you have all CSS features available. This is done in the Language setting for HTML. This led me to an idea. E.g. LaTeX: If I'm writing an article or paper about my analyses of a topic, and I did this by using R; then I usually explain how I did this with R. Or if you give a R course and you want to document it, or if you write a book about R, ... One can use Sweave to typeset it. Fine. BUT, my idea was to combine LaTeX and Rdaemon. I wrote a new Language for LaTeX called "LaTeX Rdaemon". The only thing I did is to insert an include statement include = 'source.rd.console' within the 'verbatim' environment. OK. How does this work now? You can start the Rdaemon and close that window. Then you open a LaTeX file, set the language to "LaTeX Rdaemon". Now you can write your LaTeX stuff, but if you declare a \begin{verbatim} block AND within that block a line begins with "> " then you are talking with the Rdaemon with all features coming from R and Rdaemon. Press RETURN and the line will be executed and the result will be written into the TeX document. (Remember the Rdaemon runs further in the background) I recorded a very tiny movie to illustrate that. http://www.bibiko.de/TM_Rdaemon_Latex.mov And this is only a test without fine-tuning! One can think about to write some code to automate some things like: - if a line starts with "> " within a tex document this line and the output will wrapped automatically by a verbatim block after pressing RETURN - if one plots something and the Rdaemon recognizes that the command is coming from a tex document which is saved in a certain folder then the Rdaemon will plot this image using a Quartz device, dev.copy2eps(/ TEX_FOLDER/THE_NAME) [the Quartz is still open for further stuff!], and return something like: \begin{figure} \begin{center} \includegraphics{THE_NAME} \end{center} \caption{Scatter Plot with Regression Line} \label{fig:FOO} \end{figure} [FOO could be calcualted, I guess] etc... By using this approach one could do this also with Markdown or HTML etc. The only thing is to expand the Language syntax, and to fine-tune the Rdaemon. Are there any comments about my approach? What kind of side-effects could be expected? Would this be useful at all? Kind regards, --Hans

TextMate, Changes.app, and Mercurial

by Tim Lahey

Hi, I've just purchased a new computer which has enabled me to switch over to using Changes.app for my diff uses. Unfortunately, the TextMate integration assumes Subversion for version control whereas I use Mercurial. I've made the suggested additions as mentioned on the Changes Wiki and everything works great from the command line, but the TextMate integration is failing me. I'm not familiar enough with either the Changes or the Mercurial bundle to make the changes, so I'm appealing to the TextMate community for help. Is there some way I can either switch the Changes bundle to use Mercurial or alternatively, switch the Mercurial bundle to use chdiff and my merge script instead of just diff? Thanks, Tim Lahey

unicode issue with QuickLook on Leopard

by Vincent Noel

Hello, I've been seeing a weird issue with non-ASCII characters appearing messed up when QuickLooking a utf-8 file saved from TextMate. Here is a screenshot: http://vnoel.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/ql-bug.png The same problem appears when opening the file with TextEdit -- non-ASCII characters are messed up. Unix tools (file, cat) show the file correctly. After digging around I found a thread [1] on the vim mailing list that says it is related to extended attributes that are set by TextEdit and that need to be present for QL to correctly recognize the utf8 encoding. If you set the extended attribute manually on the utf8 file, non-ASCII characters appear fine in QL. This looks like a bug in QL which, given its lack of publicity, is rarely triggered and probably due to something specific to my setup. I'm not sure what to do next, apart from applying 'xattr' to every text file I save with TextMate :-) Does anyone has advice ? I'm sorry if this issue has already been discussed previously on this list or elsewhere, but I couldn't find any other reference using Google. Thanks !

a (somewhat rudimentary) relax ng bundle

by Domenico Carbotta

in the attachment you will find a quick-and-dirty Relax NG bundle. it doesn't do much, apart from syntax highlighting for .rnc files (the cool "compact" version of Relas NG) and a few snippets for attributes, elements and common datatypes (the ones I was using, actually :). afaik nobody else worked on this stuff, so it might come in handy if you end up working on huge rnc files (beats xml schema by a HUGE margin). the little I've done is in the public domain, so use it as you see fit. cheers, d.

Closed Loop in latex_watch.pl of the Latex.tmbundle

by Jan Michael

Dear users of the textmate bundle for Latex, I'm using the "Watch Document" command (is latex_watch.pl in version 2.8) in textmate to have my masters thesis always up-to-date when I change something in the tex file and hit save. Since a few days this doesn't work as before, cause I'm running in a closed loop. When textmate starts watching my main document (the thesis is splitted in several files) it successfully compiles the document with pdflatex and displays me the result in my preferred viewer Skim. But after having done this it recompiles the whole file again and then reloads the file in Skim. This is pretty annoying behaviour, cause I haven't changed anything in the main file, also it takes loads of cpu, speeds the macbooks fans up and is constantly refreshing Skim. Wether there is a bug of "latex_watch.pl" or it observes a file which is updated through the initial and every following compilation and therefore runs in a closed loop. I tried two versions of the latex.tmbundle so far. I think one was the original one which came with textmate and the other one was the one from the svn repository as of yesterday. Both show the same behaviour. My question is now. How can I analyze the problem (closed loop). Is there a way to put the latex.tmbundle in debug mode so I can see some log messages? I tried this already by specifing the projects variable "TM_LATEX_WATCH_DEBUH = dialog" but without any success. I didn't found the debug output on my disk. What are other ways? Whats are your advice? Many Thanks, Jan

formal definition of scope selector syntax?

by Matt Neuburg

In the Help for TextMate, the following are given as examples of legal selectors (with explanations of what they mean / match): text.html.ruby, text.html source.ruby string string.quoted source.php string text.html source.php source.ruby string source.ruby string - string source string, comment So, operators here are space, comma-space, and space-minus-space. It appears that space has highest priority, then space-minus-space, then comma. (Or so I would presume.) So far, then, it all seems quite coherent; I grok prefix-matching, descendancy, exclusion, and OR (the comma is apparently an OR operator, even though the help rather confusingly seems to describe it as an AND). Then, in a blog entry (http://blog.macromates.com/2005/introduction-to-scopes/), additional info is given: (a | b) & c - d I find that last one incoherent; I don't get where the pieces are or how the operators here fit, priority-wise, with the previously given operators. For example, which of the selectors given in the first list would be a legal substitute for "b" here? And conversely, for which expressions in the first list of legal selectors, if any, could this expression be substituted? So, my question is: Can I somewhere get a formal coherent definition of the rules of selector syntax? m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!

Javascript Language Highlighter Misses Regex in Array

by Joseph Pecoraro

Hello All, The JavaScript language highlighter doesn't highlight regular expressions inside of an array. Here is a code sample that shows some simple test cases and only a few pass: /test/ [/test/] [1,2,/test/] [1,2,/test/,'blah',/test/] [ /test/, /test/ ,/test/ ] new Array(1,2,3) new Array(/test/, /test/, /test/) "blah".match(/test/); I haven't worked much with languages before, but I assume all that would be needed would be including "string.regexp.js" inside of an array class or maybe modify "punctuation.definition.string.begin.js". I couldn't find any way to do that. I also tried adding a "," to the list of characters that could come before the regexp itself but it didn't seem to work, but I'm still new. Can anyone recommend a solution? Also, can anyone point me to where I can find the definition of "punctuation.definition.*" and the like? References I have look at: http://blog.macromates.com/2005/introduction-to-scopes/ http://manual.macromates.com/en/language_grammars.html#naming_conventions Thanks in Advance, Joseph Pecoraro

Problem reading preferences file, LaTeX Bundle

by Benjamin Stieger

Dear textmate users I apologize if this problem was already described somewhere, but I could not find a solution. I'm using Textmate build 1436 and the LaTeX bundle to typeset some .tex document. Everything is working, but I always get the message "There was a problem reading the preferences file, continuing with defaults" at the top of the "Typeset & View" window. When I go to the bundle preferences I also get a floating yellow message saying There was a problem reading the preferences file, continuing with defaults The problem is that I can't change any bundle preferences, so for example I can't make the log window stay open after typesetting. I found someone with the same problem, but there it seemed to be caused by build 1455, and when she reverted to 1436 it was gone. Any suggestions? Should I install the latest build? Thanks in advance, Benjamin
