Hi
I've just started using TextMate and I'm hugely impressed by it. My
text editor requirements are not very sophisticated, I use it mostly
for HTML/CSS and for processing text from time to time from databases,
or transcripts of online meetings with chat clients, that kind of
thing. I'm sure that I will be using TextMate for my simple
AppleScript writing as well now in preference to Apple's rather basic
Script Editor.
I have been using BBEdit for ages and I feel it is a very fine text
editor indeed, however TextMate is a bit of genius.
Before I used BBEdit I used the Nisus Writer word processor for text
editing in the classic Mac OS. Although a word processor Nisus Writer
was a superb text editor and, like TextMate offered many truly unique
abilities. Nisus also made a text editor called QUED/M which predated
their word processor and had similar unique abilities of their word
processor.
One of the truly great things about Nisus Writer and QUED/M was the
non-contiguous text selection and the way in which Nisus had exploited
this.
I think Nisus were the first with non-contiguous text selection but
today it is quite common-place. An obvious example is Apple's TextEdit
which will do non-contiguous text selection. If you are not familiar
with it then you can open an TextEdit document and put it in 'rich
text' mode if it is not already. Then put some text into it. Now you
can select non-contiguous words in that text using command-click. Now
that you have selected those words you can press command-B on your
keyboard and those words will turn bold.
I'm now going to describe how Nisus exploited non-contiguous text
selection and why it was so very useful.
If you imagine that you have some text which is intended for a web-
site. Within the text are various book titles and you wish to surround
these with the <em> tag. There is nothing at all about the words of
the book titles which is similar. Well with Nisus Writer you would
select the book titles non-contiguously, using command-click, then you
would get out the Find dialogue and put in the Find field:
.+
In the Replace field:
<em>&<em>
(The & matching all of the Find field)
Then you invoke 'Replace in Selection' and each piece of non-
contiguously selected text is now surrounded by <em> tags.
In Nisus Writer you would turn that operation into a macro and now you
can apply the <em> tags to any non-contiguously selected text with
great ease.
Now it gets cleverer :)
In the example above the replaced text, the book titles surrounded by
<em> is still selected after the Find/Replace has been performed. This
means that further GREP Find/Replace can by performed using 'Replace
in Selection.
With a programme like BBEdit a search for multiple items in a file
will produce a browser identifying the search results. However with
Nisus Writer a search for multiple items in a file will leave them
selected non-contiguously in the file. This enables you to perform a
further search on those non-contiguous selections with 'Replace in
Selection' again.
To give an example.
I think it is nice to have smart quotes in the displayed text in a web-
site. To do this I have to use HTML entities. The actual text I have
contains 'stupid' quotes, however I can create a Find/Replace that
will look for the 'stupid' quotes and replace them with 'smart quote'
HTML entities depending on whether they come before or after words.
The problem is that there are many 'stupid' quotes in the HTML tags
for things like class="main".
What I need to do is to find the text between the HTML tags and then
replace the 'stupid' quotes in that with the smart quote HTML entities.
To do this in BBEdit I created an AppleScript which has a loop. It
finds the first instance of 'text between HTML tags' and then replaces
'stupid' quotes with smart quote HTML tags. Then it finds the next
instance of 'text between HTML tags' and so on...
To do that required me to create quite a clunking AppleScript.
However in Nisus Writer I could do it with two simple Find/Replace
operations. Because Nisus Writer had non-contiguous selection of
course. I could find all the instances of 'text between HTML tags' and
know that this was selected. Then I could use 'Replace in Selection'
to replace all the 'stupid' quotes with smart quote HTML entities. For
Nisus Writer this was an absolutely trivial matter.
So, the moral of my story is that in a text editor with GREP Find/
Replace having non-contiguous text selection brings a massive amount
of additional text editing power.

Is it possible to add the feature or even a plugin that makes TextMate
remember which directories I have expanded in the project drawer? I'd
like to be able to quit TextMate and be able to keep my project window
exactly as I had it the next time I launch the project.
Thanks,

Hi,

I see all subversion commands:

Would it be possible to have the submenu titles instead of a line

This already works for shortcuts of commands which are stored in
different bundles. And I do not know if one could add a new level in

Hi,
for some bundles I wrote I came across that it would be nice to have a
kind of a "init procedure" for bundles.
I'm thinking about to have a standard subfolder called "_INIT_" in a
bundle. If that subfolder exists all scripts inside of that subfolder
will be executed while installing that bundle (meaning double-click at
X.tmbundle, or "Reload Bundles", or TM starts). It should be added a
marker that indicates that the init procedure was done to avoid to
call these scripts more than once.
This init scripts should be execute inside of the bundle environment
(to e.g. interpret $TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT correctly).
This could be helpful for instance:
- to check dependencies of libs, files, versions of executables, OS
version etc. and give an alert if something mismatches
- to set up/build/unzip bundle specific files (useful to minimize the
bundle size while downloading)
- to install a specific environment used by the bundle's commands
(e.g. for the Rdaemon, it will install Rdaemon while installing the
bundle)
- to ask the user if a file is missing to download it and to install it
I do not know if that request is specific to me. And I do not know
what kind of consequences will arise, esp. to check e.g. a text file
was changed inside of the bundle which is the source to built an index
file.
Of course, it could also be a security issue.
Furthermore if these init scripts always will execute if TM starts it
could be used to check if an update is available for the given bundle.
Are there any comments on that?
Thanks,
--Hans
Hi,
I try to use the "Edit in Textmate" function in Mail but all I get is a
blank page. If I type something and save it, it would just add that piece of
text to the mail, where the cursor is.
Is this the default behaviour? I thought Textmate usually display the whole
mail....
The "Edit in Textmate" works in other application, I'm writing this post now
through Safari in Textmate.
Thanks
Daniel

A annoyance with the insert todo -macro and ruby is that if the cursor is
indended when using it it places the =begin and =end tags at the current
level. The problem is that ruby only regognizes them at the start of the
line.
So this works:
if true
puts "foo"
=begin
TODO:
=end
end
But this doesn't work:
if true
puts "foo"
=begin
TODO:
=end
end
I haven't had the time to look at the insert-todo code too much so I can't
provide a patch, but the correct behaviour would be to make sure that
there is no whitespace before the comment block tags.
(IMO is rather silly of ruby that block comments can't have whitespace
before the =begin and =end tags...)
hello,i'm wondering if is any rule to select a text and drag it with the

Hello,
I'm a fresh user of TextMate, and I have a little problem. By default there
is something assigned to the Alt+Shift+S keys combination. This "something"
prints a message:
cat: /tmp/TextMate-ScratchSnippet.txt: No such file or directory
The problem is that this keys combination is also a combination for the
Polish letter "Ś", so it's difficult to write regular Polish text. Is there
a way to turn this shortcut off?
Thank You for help.

Hi,
I would like to gather some suggestions for the following.
1) Don't want to go into that Latex thing.
2) Keep chapters in simple Text Format ( or markdown or Textile )
3) Project also contains a huge amount of reference files in txt and pdf
format
4) What's the best way to handle:
a) Index
b) footnotes
c) References
d) Appendixes etc.
Is it a good thing to keep the Book in one single file, or is it better
to use multiple files ?
Suggestions, links and resources welcome

Hi,
I just tried to summarize my experiences with the problem:
How to insert an UTF-8 encoded text by using an HTML output window
(via TextMate.system() and AppleScript)?
[and without beeping ;)]
AND
How to be compatible with Tiger and Leopard?

Hi guys!
I bought TextMate a few days ago, but Python editing is giving me the creeps.
First, I disabled the Auto-pair characters option, but I still get the
closing parenthesis and colon when I create a function ("def"). It
ignores when I type the closing parenthesis, but it doesn't ignore the
colon.
Second, it seems TextMate get really confused when you follow PEP8: If
you use spaces instead of tabs, it doesn't do auto-indentation in the
next line. In the same issue, it seems TextMate uses tabs instead of
spaces (against the PEP8.)
Third, still in the PEP8-issues, I'm trying to find a way to make
hard-breaks when going beyond column 78. TextMate have soft-breaks,
but I'd really like to have it to automagically insert the break for
me (and add an indentation to the next line.)
Fourth, PyCheckMate doesn't understand when you do an indentation when
you do a hard-break and add the indentation (it complains about
"unexpected indent".)
I guess most of it is easily fixable messing with the Bundle, but I
still didn't grasp the whole concept of it. Any points would be really
helpful.

Our development team has been tracking some odd behaviour with SVN commits
and updates.
We are primarily a three man team and we all commit code into our repo which
works well.
However, we've noticed that after I perform a project wide search and
replace using regex and then commit, the data committed is not from the
current file. The regex replacements are actually carried out on what
appears to be a copy of the file from the last "Save Project" date.
For example:
"appCaches.php" is a file maintained by subversion. Download the files,
here: http://www.mattmecham.com/images/appcachefiles.zip
r#1355 was made by me on 21st May - which coincides with the last time I
chose "Save Project" even though I choose "Save All" regularly.
r#1479 was committed by a member of the development team adding data to the
file. Although I chose rev 1479, this file was committed around 1450ish and
hasn't changed until I did my global search and replace, so it's not just a
one revision increment problem.
r#1480 was made by me after performing a global search and replace. As you
can see, it's actually performed a search and replace on r#1355, not r#1479!
What does TextMate do when you choose "Save Project"? I thought it just
updated the xml file containing data about open files. Does the regex search
and replace work on cached copies anywhere?
Thanks

Hello, been using TextMate for a few years now, a good record for my
first
annoyance :)
I'm writing a lot of Python code now and since it uses whitespace for
blocks, every time I paste something after a function or class etc the
pasted text is indented at the level of the previous block when I want
it to
be pasted the way it was copied.
This means every time I paste, I have to select the block I just
pasted and
un-indent it hundreds of times every day...
Is there a command to turn off auto-indent? like Cmd-something Cmd-V
Cmd-something so I can toggle it off when pasting in Python.
Or even better, some sort of macro like Cmd-Shift-V that would paste
without
auto-indent
Thanks,
Skye
Greetings,
I am currently using TextMate for a Pylons project with its own virtual
environment. So, instead of using /usr/local/bin/python, I use a python
interpreter at a specific path. Is there an environment variable I can set so
that TextMate uses the correct interpreter so that my imports go through?
Thanks,

Hi list,
The comment/decomment command (apple-/) has a different effect in
LaTeX files (correctly prepends %) than in TeX files (incorrectly
prepends #).
To fix that:
< ciaran> cDlm: ok, if you go into the bundle editor, change the
dropdown at top left to
select Preferences, and then look for the "Comments"
item in the LaTeX bundle
< ciaran> and change where it says "text.tex.latex" at the bottom
right to be "text.tex"
Also here are the conclusions of the IRC discussion with ciaran and allan:
- the TeX grammar is not meant to be use per se (then it shouldn't
appear in the mode menu at the bottom of buffers)
- .sty files are claimed by the TeX grammar (LaTeX would be better)

Hello together,
I'm facing quite a strange problem with the citation inclusion in Latex
(->Latex ->Insert ->Citation Based on current word).
I always get the following error:
/tmp/temp_textmate.zgtzns:4: command not found: kpsewhich -show-path=bib
After the error-message, the right citation key is inserted. But i always
have to delete the text before (the error message), and this is very
uncomfortable.
I am working on a project, and the problem only occurs in the
"child"-documents, in my Master-File everything the citation inclusion works
very fine.
I set the the shell variable for the master-file as well as for the
Bib-file.
I'm quite confused what the problem could be and i hope somebody of you
could help me,
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
About a month or so ago I asked what people did about php debugging and
stuff, something I really wanted that ZDE offered (the client itself I don't
like). Several people responded and it sounded like there were a lot of
error_log'ing and stuff, but nothing on par with a real debugger.
With this in mind, I figured it was worth mentioning this project:
http://www.bluestatic.org/software/macgdbp/
It's a Cocoa based client for xdebug that code stepping and more. More info
can be found here:

Hope this is helpful (and appropriate).

Howdy. I'm new here. So far, I really like what I see in TextMate.
In other text editors I've worked in, when you select some text and launch
the find/replace dialog, the "find" field automatically gets populated with
the selected text.
Is it possible to set TextMate behave this way?
Thanks.
I know this one can be done. I've been digging, but can't seem to figure it
out.
I'm using the bundle editor to create a bunch of snippets. Because I have
to create so many of them, I like them categorized.
I'm looking to do something similar to what I see in the CSS > Background
bundle. That is, a top-level category of snippets, plus sub-menus that
contain other snippets.
How does one go about setting this up?
Thanks.

Hi,
The project I am currently working on requires me to write xml
configuration files for a custom application for experience sampling.
The files contain embedded python scripts, contained in the following
regions:
<script event="OnLoad">
<![CDATA[
python script
]]>
</script>
I know that TextMate is able to deal with embedded regions that have a
different language deffinition than the main file (like php and
javascript sections in HTML) so I was trying to set this up for XML so I
can have proper syntax highlighting for python. So far, though, I have
not had any luck with this. I tried adding the following in the xml
language definition, both right after the section for embedded java and,
when that didn't work, right after the section for CDATA comments, but
it doesn't seem to work:
{ name = 'source.python.embedded.xml';
begin = '<script.*?}>\s*?<!\[CDATA\[';
end = ']]>\s*?<script/>';
beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'punctuation.section.embedded.begin.xml'; }; };
endCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'punctuation.section.embedded.end.xml'; }; };
patterns = ( { include = 'source.python'; } );
},
This was based on the example for embedded java, but obviously I either
didn't understand what the java example does, or I didn't specify the
begin and end strings correctly. I also suspect that since there is
already a definition for CDATA comments, this needs to be in a specific
place to override that definition.
Any help with getting this to work would be greatly appreciated. The
scripts can be quite long, so having proper syntax highlighting would
make things much easier.
Thanks so much,
Pedja

after tinkering with tm_dialog for a plugin[1] I have come to really
wish you could embed an 'html output' webview into a NIB.
The idea being that instead of invoking
'returnArgument:your:arguments:' you could invoke
'htmlOutput:your_command:and:arguments:' and display the results
directly in the dialog rather than outputting to an enclosing html
view.
Note that I don't want to do async and then update the dialog with
results (to go in a listview perhaps). The process I'm getting
results from can take a long time to complete and can generate reams
of information so I want to display the partial results as they come
in.
Obviously you'd need to wire-up the WebView delegates to point to the
File's Owner, as well as tell the File's Owner about the WebView and
progress indicator etc etc.
I tried some cruel hacks by instantiating OakHTMLOutputManager in my
nib and wiring it all together. Alas, I could only manage to evaluate
a "TextMate.system" calling [[webview windowScriptObject]
evaluateWebScript] via bindings. I also managed some other
experiments to tell the OakHTMLOutputManager that it was busy (to
update the progress control).
The only other behavior I cold elicit was some spectacular crashes
trying to convince the OakHTMLOutputManager to invoke anything...
yeah, I know I'm tinkering with stuff I shouldn't :-)
So... my question: is there any way in current TM to achieve my goal
(embed html output in a dialog) - perhaps in DIALOG2 (that I haven't
looked at yet)?
Assuming the answer is 'no' - I'd just like to say that capability
could be an excellent bridge between the current tm_dialog+html_output
and a full-blown plugin.
Thanks for listening,
Trevor

Hi,
there is a very tiny and marginal issue about rendering in the content
of the tooltip under Leopard.
If I have a string "simplified" (length 10) it will be displayed as
"simplified" (length 9) caused by the used fi ligature. This leads to
a small problem if one wants to output a pretty looking table for
instance. Under Tiger is that not the case.
Is this behaviour switchable?

Hi,
I'm just beginning to like Python ;)
Caused by that issue here are some tiny suggestions:
Walter Dörwald had the idea to provide exit codes similar to Ruby's
exit_codes.rb.
This could be integrate in tm_helpers.py à la:
def exit_discard():
sys.exit(200)
def exit_replace_text(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(201)
def exit_replace_document(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(202)
def exit_insert_text(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(203)
def exit_insert_snippet(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(204)
def exit_show_html(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(205)
def exit_show_tool_tip(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(206)
def exit_create_new_document(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(207)
Furthermore tm_helpers' sh(cmd) is not UTF-8 safe.
If I'm using e.g. popen("grep 'ä' 'test.txt'") or tm_helpers.sh("grep
'ä' 'test.txt'") I have problems with the codec.
I tried several things to encode/decode unicode but no success. Maybe
some of you can fix this.
I went the way to use popen2. Then I didn't have such problems (?)
The next issue is regarding dialog.py. Maybe one could the function
'menu' looking for DIALOG2. If there's DIALOG2 it uses that syntax,
if not fall back to DIALOG1.
This could also be done for Ruby's ui.rb.
Cheers,

I moved the mailing list to a new server. I couldn’t migrate
individual user settings (other than digest/non-digest) so if you had
disabled mail delivery or similar, you’ll have to do that again and if
you had a list password, then that is now reset.
We may also have lost around 40 subscribers, at least if the number of
subscribers in Mailman’s web UI is correct.
Also, messages to the list sent in the last 8 hours or so have bounced
with “relay access denied”.
But other than that, everything went smooth :)
My TextMate today started acting funny. When some
text is represented as italic (e.g., in LaTeX, inside an
\emph{THIS TEXT SHOWN AS ITALIC} ,
the text looks corrupted: some of the caracters are
replaced by other characters. If I switch back to
non-italic e.g. by changing bundle, everything looks ok.
Two funny thngs:
1) not all characters are changed. This
\textit{AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA}
appears perfect. On the other hand, if I write
\textit{EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE}
some of the E's are replaced by an upperscore:
the 4th, the 8th, 12th AND 13th, etc.periodically
2) if I shift the thing, the position of the corrupted
characters remain fixed:i.e., if I write
\textit{EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE}
(three spaces at the beginning) now the 1st,
5th, etc are changed into an upperscore.
Any ideas before I download a fresh copy and reinstall?
Thanks

Hi,
is there/could there be a way to cache the undo-history in TM or
future TM2 even after closing the programm?
Users of laptop computers who prefer the sleep mode instead of shuting
down the computer will have the advantage to find their desktops/
workspaces just as they have left them, including undo histrories.
They will have the disadvantage that sleepmode will suck empty their
batteries, especially when you have a lot of RAM installed. Also this
is over the time lowering the life expectancy of your accu set.
Sometimes I only use sleep mode because I dont want to loose the
changes that I have made in TM (code debugging most of the time)...
If Historie would be cached, I then have one reason less to worry
about shutting down completely or not.
Id be happy if more programs could support such a behaviour, it is
convenient and will save at least some resources and energy.
Thanks & sincere
Dennis

I guess I am the original author, though I haven't worked on it for a
while (not since my kids were born!). The svn blame for this piece of
the grammar goes to gerti, duff and msheets.
Let me say that if we as a Textmate community really want to have
distributed editing of these grammars, then we should develop a set of
test cases to check if our grammar edits break anything. Maybe one or
two documents with a .png of the correct highlighting using a default
color scheme.
best wishes, Eric

Hi,
I'm recently playing a lot with great Ruby web framework called
Ramaze. By default when running my project, Ramaze highlights
different event types in the console with different colors. So errors
are red, warnings yellow, notices green and so on. This works great
when I run my program from the Terminal, but when I run it within
TextMate with ⌘R and its output window unfortunately I get no colors.
I don't know if it is fault of Ruby bundle or TM internals, but I'd
love to see the colors there too, as they help reading logs a lot.
Best regards,

Hi,
This is just a generic question on how you use Terminal and TextMate
in developing with Rails. I benefit from the bundles like Ruby, Rails
RubyAMP and RSpec. My problem is that I would like to have a few
Terminal tabs open for one application. I need one tab for running
commands like script/generate or rake tasks. (I know I can use Control-
Shift-\ for some tasks, but it feels a bit slow to me.) Another tab is
for the server log genarated after `script/server`. And optionally I
have a tab open for script/console.
If I use Control-Shift-O, the Terminal window opens and `cd` to the
current directory. RubyAMP bundle has Control-Command-P for a similar
feature. But if I use the same command more than once, a new Terminal
window shows up. I would like to have a new tab instead.
What I do currently is that: 1) Open the TextMate project file, 2) I
use Control-Shift-O to open the Terminal window and find myself in the
project directory, 3) run the AppleScript I made to duplicate a tab.
My AppleScript is written at <http://samuraicoder.net/applescript_duplicating_tabs_terminal
>. This is just a shitty script, simply emulates what I do on
keyboards. Is there anybody who can know a much better way? Or would
you suggest any better workflow?

Hi,
I suggest to add German quotation marks to the Latex Bundle:
This can be archieved by adding
>>
<array>
<string>„</string>
<string>"</string>
</array>
<<
to
Latex.tmbundle/Preferences/Miscellaneous.plist and
Latex.tmbundle/Preferences/Smart\ Typing\ \(Strings\).tmPreferences
under the "highlightPairs" and "smartTypingPairs" sections in each
file.
Please note that I have limited knowledge on how those bundles work.
Applying the changes above worked for me.
Kind regards

Is there any bundle which can be used as a kind of GUI for SQLite

I *am* writing my current book in TextMate. I won't claim that my way
of doing it is *the* way, only the way that I am doing it.
First, let me say that you'd be a fool not to look at Scrivener. It's
a great app. I just about bought it myself, but I had
(1) already spent enough money on trail of the word processing grail
and
(2) begun to imagine myself enough of a geek to go it on my own (e.g.,
I already had a way to play QT files from within textmate)
I did, however, copy some ideas from Scrivener, as you'll see in the
layout of my project folder:
(For those who don't want the JPG:
/boats
/fieldwork
/outputs
/research
/~mss
)
As you can see, the book is about boats -- crawfish boats in south
Louisiana (if you want to see a picture, there's one on the front page
of my website: http://johnlaudun.org/) -- and it's a nonfiction work
with different enough, to my mind, kinds of research that I have it
broken out into simply research and fieldwork. The tilde (~) puts
things at the top of Finder windows, but the bottom of TextMate
project drawers. (I don't care, as long as the part where I'm doing
writing is easy to find. I use MSS, for manuscript, instead of draft,
ymmv.)
Most of the mss texts, as you can see, are in Markdown, but that's
really MultiMarkdown. I haven't begun to experiment with footnotes
just yet -- I'm still early enough in the drafting process that I can
play with reference schema -- and Fletcher's footnote implementation
is tenuous. (I'm taking a look at Maruku right now, to see if there's
anything to learn there.)
I have heard the siren call of LaTeX several times now over the years,
but I just can't bring myself to do it. I like being able to share my
plain text files with non-markup-aware clients and colleagues and that
I can then generate RTF files out of them, which is all publishers
want. (Most will also take Word documents, but an increasing number
are going back to RTF, precisely because of having to deal with Word's
noting system is such a pain.)
So there are writers who write with TextMate -- check out the
impressive ScreenMate some time! -- but I don't know if there's any
consensus. I, for one, wish I could go from MMD texts to RTF or PDF
with headers and/or footers, but I haven't found a convenient way yet
-- and I keep forgetting to see if I can get Prince working on my MBP.
I hope that helps.

In the editor, I can do ctrl-tab to move the focus to the Project Drawer. But
what shortcut can I use to move it back to the editor? Pressing tab 3 times
does the trick, but it doesn't seem very optimal. Any suggestion?

Hey,
a short while back I went looking for a TextMate plugin for ack but
the advertised link was dead so I based one off GrepInProject++
(instead of doing something sensible like contact the plugin's author
about the dead link...).
Anyhow, my own take on "Ack in project" can be found at:
http://github.com/protocool/ack-tmbundle/tree/master
It does nifty stuff like remember your last 10 searches, allows you to
choose word, literal or case insensitive search as well as configure
options like whether you want to show context lines, follow symlinks
and ignore .ackrc (you can define a .ackrc in your project directory
too).
I've still got a few things I'd like to improve with it but it's in
daily use (on Tiger, will test Leopard shortly).

Trevor

Hi,
I often have some Project Folders with multiple HTML files.
I need a Shell Script to concatenate them all together into one single

Possibly to strip also Header and Body Tags.

Any Ideas ?

Dear all,
there's a new bundle called "Unicode" in the review trunk. It is meant
to be a place where we can gather any kind of scripts, commands, etc.
which are related to general Unicode issue, meaning non-ASCII. This
should also a place where we can gather scripts related to specific
languages like Japanese, Chinese, Greek etc.
This bundle is the first stage. How do we separate this bundle is a
future task.
Thus, if there is someone who already has such scripts or is willing
to support, please let us/me know.
Up to now there are the following stuff in:
- Normalize according canonical (de)composition of accented characters
- Delete Diacritics: façadë έ だ => facade ε た
- Convert to a similar Unicode Character: type the letter 'c' to get a
list of "cçćĉċčƈ¢ɕʗḉ⒞ⓒc¢"
- Convert to Greek Character: type 'n' to get "ν"
- Show Unicode Name: select some letters to get a list of the Unicode
names like LATIN SMALL LETTER A
I have many other scripts, but I need some time to polish them up.
To get this bundle, simply use the Subversion Bundle's checkout
http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/Unicode.tmbundle
save this to the Desktop or whatever.
I know, to deal with non-ASCII scripts in TM 1.x is a bit tricky, but
TM 2.0 will come ;)
Cheers,

Im trying to write a document where I use eps images for
illustrations, this works fine with the usual command + r function,
but does not work with the watch document(I get an error about
unsupported image files). Is there an easy way to fix this?
I know that autocompletion exists in many bundles but requires you to
push ecsape to get it up, is there a way to do the following with a
bundle?
Lets assume I am editing a PHP document and type "s", the bundle (or
even better, TM2 ;)) looks up a list of function names and then
outputs after the s, the first keyword in the list that starts with
"s". However, that extra text is left as selected, if the user
continues to type then they will overwrite the text (and it will alter
it's guess accordingly) but if the user hits the relevant key, it
leaves the selected text in place and puts the caret (I think that's
the name) at the end of the word.
If it's not possible in a bundle, is there any chance of seeing
something like it in TM2?
Thanks
Teifion

Hello,
I would like to implement auto-completion with alt-esc, in the same
way as it works with HTML.
<a n[ALT+ESC]> --->generates---> <a name="">
but having a slightly different syntax:
\commandname[options1][options2]
where I would like to be able to type
\commandname
[{here's the caret, I press ALT-ESC}]
[]
and then I would get a list of options, specific for the first
argument after \commandname and specific for the first bracket (second
bracket has a different set of commands).
A sample usage:
\definecolor[orangered][r=.9,g=.5,b=0]
or
\setupcolors[state=start] % could be state=stop
In the first case, I want to hit alt-esc in the second pair of
bracket, and I want TextMate to offer me the options "r=", "g=", "b=",
"c=", "m=", "y=", "k=" (and maybe to give me hint that a number
between 0 and 1 has to follow).
In the second case I want to hit alt-esc in the first pair of brackets
and I want TextMate to offer me a list of options "state=" and
"conversion=", and if I choose state=, I want to hit alt-esc again and
TextMate should offer me a list of two options "start" and "stop".
I know how to write a ruby script that would get command name or
current line as the argument, and would return a list of available
options, but I don't know what exactly my script needs to return, and
I don't know how & where to plug it in.
I've seen this in html:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/codecompletion"
print TextmateCodeCompletion.new(
#[%{class=""}, %{id=""}, %{style=""}, %{<img src="/images/"}, %{<img
border="0"}, ],
TextmateCompletionsText.new(ENV['TM_COMPLETIONS'],{:split=>','}).to_ary,
STDIN.read,
{:scope=>:html_attributes}
).to_snippet
but it's not really clear to me how to experiment with it outside of
html. Moreover, the library codecompletion might not be able to handle
too complex cases. (I don't really know, I only fear that.)
I'm willing to do it for plain TeX + LaTeX + ConTeXt (I'm currently
extracting TeX primitives & ConTeXt commands with options, for LaTeX
it would work the same way once I get some list of commands), but I
need some pointers where to start first.
Thanks a lot,
Mojca

I do not know whether this helps to solve the problem, but I just
figured out that 'print' is the problem. If I'm using
'sys.__stdout__.write' instead it works.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# encoding: utf-8

a = u"æble"
sys.__stdout__.write( a.encode("raw_unicode_escape") )

Hi there, thanks to the list I've managed to get my AS2 projects
publishing out of textmate great using MTASC, now I'm trying to do
the same with my AS3 projects.
I would like to compile my AS3 SWFs direct from Textmate. At the
moment I am only building a single SWF as you would get if you
published from Flash.
I would like to be able to build my graphic assets in Flash then
write my code in Textmate and compile from Textmate and view my SWF
and trace using Xtrace.
Could someone give me some pointers on how to do this, all of the
AS3 / Flex bundles seem to want to create a whole Flex application
not just the single SWF.
If someone could also point me in the direction of a step-by step
tutorial for creating Flex Apps in textmate that would be super-handy
too as I would also like to learn this at some point.
Thanks guys :)

I'd like to set-up a command to import text from an external txt/html/

to go about this. Is it possible?
I think it would be really handy to have for example a command that
pulled in the latest swfobject.js from my SVN repositories. I'm sure
this could be useful for lots of other workflow timesavers too.
Hello,
I've always dreamed about a text editor that will show unicode to me
in a slightly more suitable form than what I'm used to. Like a double-
width em-dash (assuming fixed width fonts are being used) -- or even a
double-width en-dash and a triple-width em-dash -- and visual
differentiation between the various invisible characters like no-break
space, zero-width joiner, and the half dozen or so extra unicode
glyphs that aren't displayed very well in code.
While TextMate's "Show Invisibles" does indeed show no-break space,
(most of?) the others remain invisible. And em-dash is rather hard to
distinguish from en-dash :)
Has anyone else ever thought such things before? Certainly I think
greater editing support for such unicode glyphs would encourage their
use (which, at present, seems rather uncommon).

hi all,
i'm a long time textmate fan and want to start using it with the
openframeworks c++ lib (http://www.openframeworks.cc)
the xcode plugin compiles the example projects fine, but at the end gives me
this error:
Executable doesn't exist:
/Users/nay/Documents/openframeworks_05/apps/sketches/moviePlayerExample/build/Release/./openFrameworks.app/Contents/MacOS/openFrameworks
it runs fine in xcode, but the path here should actually be:
/Users/nay/Documents/openframeworks_05/apps/sketches/moviePlayerExample/./openFrameworks.app/Contents/MacOS/openFrameworks
the directory seems to be correctly set in xcode under executables as
/Users/nay/Documents/openframeworks_05/apps/sketches/moviePlayerExample
which is where the app gets put
it looks like it has something to do with the 'active build config' being
misread, which is 'Release' in this case.
any help hugely appreciated.
cheers,

Dear dialog.py developer,
I'm not a python programmer but I'm just learning ;)
I believe that dialog.py's method "menu" fails if I call it with a
list of strings which is encode in UTF-8 (i.e. the string contains
non-ASCII characters)
What I did:
...
suggestions = list(list(unicode(grepout.read(), "UTF-8"))[2:])
...
suggestions contains a list of Unicode characters. Fine.
suggestions[3] etc. can I insert in TM's document perfectly.
But:
result = dialog.menu(suggestions)
fails.
Did I something wrong or is this an issue of dialog.py?
Many thanks in advance,

Greetings -- when looking around to assemble a transcribing system for
Mac, I've found a very cool solution at O'Reilly's Digital Media, by
David Battino:
http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/03/09/transcriber.html
It consists of AppleScripts for Tex-Edit Plus, a speech-capable editor
also supporting AppleScript. The scripts to rewind and replay are
provided in the article, names ending in function keys like _F10 --
that's how Tex-Edit assigns keys to them.
What does it take to adapt them to TextMate -- where's I put them, etc.?

is there a way in Textmate during editing a file to open a "helper"
window (something like in the subversion bundle when i hit
shift+ctrl+a) where the exact menu entries

I mean to display the same menu which appears when I go to Bundles >

I recall this being discussed before but searching for the phrase
"comments" on Google matches pretty much every blog out there, so no
joy.
I wish to modify the commenting style in the AS3 bundle from this:
/*
* Comment in here, everything left aligned, huge tab in there!
*/
To this:
/*
* Comment in here, one space before, not a tab after
* Final line leaves all *'s nicely lined up
*/
I have tried searching through the AS3 bundle for anything relating to
comments but I must be looking in the wrong places. It'll be some
tiny tweak to a regex, I hope. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?
Many thanks!

For editing xml, I'm really missing a clickable outliner of the xml document
that lets me easily jump to different nodes. I know TextMate isn't an IDE
but I would love this functionality (it's in jedit as well as part of the
sidekick plugin.) Here's a screen shot of Eclipse's outline view of an xml
document http://img.skitch.com/20080528-f34dyh22e7sm7j7h218ymaqtxm.jpg
It doesn't look like xmlMate bundle has this kind of functionality. Does it
exist in some other bundle out there?
Thanks

Hi,
I do not know if this request is a general one, but in the past it
often happens to me that I want to get the content of a tooltip in
order to do something with it. A simple example is the output of
"Statistics of Doc/Sel". Sometimes I want to insert that info into my
document.
[The same for the HTML tooltip (?)]
Is there a way to provide such a functionality? Now I do the
following: Change the command's output behaviour to "Create New Doc",
invoke the command again, and reset the command's output behaviour.
But this is a bit annoying.
Of course, to find a proper key/mouse event could be a bit tricky. All
key events are bound to text document except for ESC. Thus my question
is: Does anyone have an idea?
Cheers,

I have a page of text edited in Text Mate. I want to know the number of
characters in a specific paragraph (by highlighting that paragraph). Is this
possible in Text Mate and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
Hiya, I've started compiling using MTASC from Textmate using the
'Build with MTASC' option. I'm using the XTraceTest.as file (at the
bottom) and it compiles great.
What I can't figure out is how to target the Stage from my class, if
I have movieclips on there that I want to target for example. I can
target the _root but this isn't ideal.
Any suggestions much appreciated
Cheers :)

Hi,
I've been playing around recently with developing a different
technique for sectioning in LaTeX; put simply, instead of writing
\section{}
...
\subsection{}
...
\subsection{}
...
\subsubsection{}
...
you write
\begin{sect}{}
...
\begin{sect}{}
...
\end{sect}
\begin{sect}{}
...
\begin{sect}{}
...
\end{sect}
\end{sect}
\end{sect}
I'm not 100% convinced that this is an easier way to write than
LaTeX's absolute method as opposed to this sort of relative one, but
I'm willing to give it a try for my thesis to see how it works out.
The advantages are that folding is more easily supported :) and that
it's much easier to move sections around without having to search/
replace all of the \\(sub){0,2}section commands.
But here's the thing...I know it would take you guys orders of
magnitude less time than it would take me to adjust the LaTeX bundle
to integrate this structure into it. (Starred sections look like
\begin{sect*}{} and optional ToC section titles are with \begin{sect}
[toctitle]{...}.)
All I'm really missing is the nice outlining features. Is this an easy
change to make to the bundle?
Many thanks,
Will Robertson
Hi
I'm just starting using TextMate and at the same time starting to learn
Flex/ActionScript 3. I've got a project that I was previously working on in
FlexBuilder, and I have managed to get that to build and run through
TextMate. I can open mxml files and make changes absolutely fine there, but
if I go into a .as file and try to make any sort of alteration then TextMate
hangs and I have to Force Quit.
Anyone seen this before, or have an idea?
Cheers

Hi list,
I have just installed the Mercurial Bundle, and I have a little
problem. Let's say I have a project, and 2 files have been edited
since the last commit. When I check it at the command line, I see the
two "M" markers for the 2 files.
But inside textmate, it is like the "hg status" command only applies
to the file I am currently viewing, so I only get the "M" for the file
I am viewing. And if I am viewing a file that hasn't ben changed, I
don't see anything at all.
Is there some special setup that I might have missed?
I have saved my project as "a project" in textmate. I open it using
project.tmproj file. I saw from the help, that if the file doesn't
belong to a project, it is checked alone. Is it a problem if my
project files are actually a symlink to a another repository that
lives in /var/www?
Best regards,
Hi,
The syntax coloring in phpmate when I use it to look up PHP documentation is
very hard to read for me (bright red on black, etc) and I was wondering if
there's a way to change it (it'd be great if it could match my syntax
coloring) or at least remove it
Thanks,
Nick
Hi textmates,
A while ago I was asking about mixing R and markdown in a similar way Sweave uses LaTeX to document R codes. It turns out the "brew" package (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-packages/2007/000327.html) can make this very easy: any text outside markers in the document is unprocessed by R and returned unchanged, while R code chunks inside some special tags is run by R (creating graphics, etc...). This combined with Multimarkdown provides a very powerful workflow (by-passing the latex syntax and long compilation time I find overly intruding in Sweave).
Obviously, I'd love to have a custom syntax highlighting to go with this new approach. It would be heavily based on Sweave's bundle, with only a few differences:
1) Multimarkdown is to be used as the normal text syntax (conditional syntax highlighting and commands)
2) the "@" and "<< >>" delimiters are now replaced by "<%"
( 3) instead of calling latex, the perl script for multimardown could be used )
I've tried to tweak the Sweave bundle, but I don't really understand the code to be honest: i think i was too naive in thinking that changing sweave to "breweave" and text.tex.latex to text.html.markdown.multimarkdown everywhere could work.
Is there some sort of guidelines I should follow to modify the Sweave bundle? Would this be fairly doable by a novice in Ruby and TM macros?
Best regards,
baptiste

I am a new registered user to textmate.
I realize that textmate implements automatic pairing of delimiters such as
parentheses. However, this does not prevent you from removing one of the
paired parentheses etc during the editing process. In vi, I would use ³%²
to toggle between open and close delimiters to debug syntax. I can¹t find a
similar feature in textmate.
I wonder if someone has written a macro to implement this. or am I missing a
feature? Is this specific to a bundle? I am using the R and C bundles.
thanks!

Hi,
I run TM 1.5.7 (1464) on 10.5.2 ppc.
I'm a keyboard person. If I open the standard Find Dialog and I would
like to choose a previous used Find pattern, I press ARROW-DOWN to
open the history list; then I go to my desired pattern; and finally to
select it I press ENTER or RETURN. But pressing ENTER/RETURN not only
selects my pattern but also starts the Find/Replace process, which can
be a bit annoying caused by the issue that I didn't choose my replace
pattern yet.
Is there a way in TM 1 or TM 2 to get rid of the "tiny problem"?
Meaning, if the history list is open ENTER/RETURN _only_ selects the
list item?
Many thanks,
Hans
Hi!
I have a strange problem lately when I compile tex-files (actually I
can't say how "new" the problem is because I didn't compile a tex-file
for a longer time now):
When I compile a file with a bibliograpy the cite-fields won't get
filled out. Let's say I have a bib-item with the bibkey test:2007sf
(authors last name test, year 2007) and I write for example \cite[p.
45]{test:2007sf} it will compile to (?, p. 45). In the log-file stands
that the item cannot be found in the bbl-file. Looking into the
bbl-file the item is there. Even several recompiles won't work.
But if I compile the file with TeXShop everything works as expected. A
re-compile with TextMate will then also compile as expected. If I
introduce new items via \cite the same problem as before occurs.
I use TM 1.5.7 (1464) and update my bundles regularly via svn. The
TeX-distributions I am using are gwTeX and TeXLive 2007 and I use
Latexmk.pl for compiling my files with TM which uses pdflatex (but
with latex the same problem occurs).
Any ideas what's happening here?

The "Change Current" command in the LaTeX Bundle seems to always select the
outermost environment rather than the innermost. For example, if the caret is
on the line with the equation in the following:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\begin{equation}
f(x) = x
\end{equation}
\end{enumerate}
I would expect that hitting Control-Option-E would let me change the equation
environment to something else, but instead it selects the enumerate
environment. Is there a way to change this? Thanks for any help!
-Daniel
I am new to TextMate, and am using it for LaTeX, and finding it loads of fun. I
can't seem to get cite completion to work, however. If I put the caret inside a
\cite{} command, along with some text, and press escape, it does complete the
citation and cycle through my bibtex database. But if I press option-esc, it
gives me an error message in a tooltip. (The error declares that it cannot find
my bibtex database.) I'm expecting it to give me a menu of citation choices.
I have a standard MacTeX setup, running on a MacBook under OS 10.5.2. My bibtex
database is found in ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have to develop with someone else's styleguide and it requires to
break every line at 80 characters.
Is it possible to get any visual clue where r.g. 80 columns are?(I
mean a vertical line like most texteditors have... not the column
number on the bottom)
Would be nice to have that feature, since the "right margin indicator"
as is present in textmate is pretty useless I think.
It only shows where the window is larger than the rightmost column
fully visible?(What is it for anyway?)
Maybe I am just missing something...

How can I comment out a region (selection) of code? In other words, select
several lines of code, right click (or key combo) and comment out that
section (adding the correct lang comment tag).
Thanks

As I set up Reformat Comment commands for the languages I use most
frequently (LaTeX and R), it occurred to me that maybe there's a way
to make a single call to rubywrap more generic, so that we don't need
a command per bundle. This is the result:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
$LOAD_PATH << "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib"
require "escape"
scope = ENV["TM_SCOPE"]
case scope
when /comment\.(block|line)\.number-sign\./
cstring = "# "
when /comment\.(block|line)\.percentage\./
cstring = "% "
end
flags = ""
flags += " -p \"#{cstring}\" "
flags += " --retabify" if ENV["TM_SOFT_TABS"] == "NO"
text =`echo -n "#{e_as(STDIN.read).gsub(/[$`]/, '\\\\\0')}" | ruby "#
{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/bin/rubywrap.rb" #{flags}`
print e_sn(text)
The parameters are the same as the current command, with the
exception of scope, which I set to "comment.line, comment.block".
I also added a gsub to the command because it was eating latex math
and R symbols ($). There's probably a better solution to that. This
seems to work for me, and should be extended easily by adding lines
to the case statement for other languages. One advantage is that by
specifying the comment character based on the scope, it ought to work
for anything; it catches comments for both bash and perl, for
instance, without any extra effort. I think it's kind of cool.

Hi all,
I have made some changes to the way that scripts are run. To
accommodate this I had to update the Ruby and Python bundles to be
compatible (it's a change for the better).
If you update either of these bundles, you are going to have to update
Support as well if you want the Run (⌘R) commands to work.
I do apologise for any inconvenience, but it is for the best.

Hello,
I'm relatively new to TextMate.
When I try and launch textmate from the terminal (via 'mate'), textmate
hangs.
Interestingly, if textmate is already open, this doesn't occur.
Eventually I have to force quite textmate. I am running Leopard (10.5.2) on
an Intel Core 2 Due iMac.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks.

Hello,
I just want to ask if anybody can confirm TM taking the 564MB physical
(1.3GB VM) with this simple test:
$ otool -tv /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate > /tmp/
tm.s
/tmp/tm.s is ~11MB
Close TM, and run:
$ mate /tmp/tm.s
Open Activity Monitor and check TM memory usage.
It means if I open 3 such files I'm out of my RAM. This is really
nothing good. I'd accept 1:5 filesize/mem usage ratio, but 1:50 is
kind too much.
Would it be any better in TM 2.0? I hope we can try some beta soon.
Regards,

Hi again,
I have added process.rb to Support/lib. It has a single method,
TextMate::Process.run() that can be used to gracefully handle opening
processes and capturing their output. I would encourage everyone to
use it if you are scripting processes. Especially if you want the
process to take advantage of the interactive input features which
should be released sometime in the near future. If processes are
opened with this method, then they should benefit from any other
features that are added for dealing with processes over time.
There is a blurb in the file on how to use it. Would be interested to
hear any comments you might have on it.
Just to clarify the implication of this…
In the next release of TM on (once the bundles have been updated to
use TextMate::Process.open()) whenever a process requests input, a
dialog will be presented to the user giving them a chance to enter
input. The classic use case for this is the Subversion bundle. No more
never ending commits while svn is waiting for you to enter your
credentials.
LD.
Hi
trying to have a dynamic dict inside TM, I have build the next command
dict "$TM_CURRENT_WORD" | enscript -Whtml -E -e --color -p -
with Input: sel text or word, output html
but I only get a window with the message:
enscript: malformed argument `html' for option -W, --option: no comma
found
while the same command in Terminal do fine
dict word | enscript -Whtml -E -e --color -p -
But if you put
dict "$TM_CURRENT_WORD" | enscript --language=html -E -e --color -p -
it works perfectly! I feel curious about it.

Hi,
Anyone seen Chandler McWilliams, creator of the Processing bundle?
I've a patch attached for the Run command. It basically works the way
you think it should now.

Hi, I’m trying to use ${5:helper text} variable in my regular expression
later in the code:
${5/(e)|(.*)/(?1:\te.preventDefault\(\);\n)(?2:)/}})
What I do here? I check if $5 equals "e" and if it does, I append
".preventDefault();" to my "e". But I’d like to write something like this:
${5/($5)|(.*)/(?1:\t$5.preventDefault\(\);\n)(?2:)/}})
Which simply means I’d like users to be able to change "e" into, for example
"event".
My whole snippet, for better understanding:
bind('${1:event name}'${2:, ${3:passed object}}, function(${4:e}) {
${0:$TM_SELECTED_TEXT}
${4/(e)|(.*)/(?1:\t\/$4.preventDefault\(\);\n)(?2:)/}})
