howto help: new user can't figure out HTML completion

by Textmate List User Ivy

Folks, I'm watching Putting Flickr on Rails (http://www.rubyonrails.com/screencasts) and see the presenter using TextMate with completion for a new HTML file. Great! How do I "turn it on"? Just want to set it and use it. I open a new doc, "application.rhml" in my rails tree in folder, "layout" and type "doctype" and hit "esc"...nothing happens - no, I take that back. Textmate beeps at me. I don't want to become a textmate expert or wade through a lot of documentation. Is it a bundle setting? A keystroke sequence? Bad karma? I've gotten pretty good at BBedit in my day, so I'm not daunted by configuration, but I don't want to (re-)learn unix or vm or whatever to understand this. And searching the list archine (http://macromates.com/community) isn't quickly, concisely yeilding the answer (in the first two pages of results for "how to use completion". Please answer this probably incredibly simple question, or point me to the tutuorial, thread, post or URL where the answer is found. Thanks, Ivy

Re: [TxMt] LaTeX: Bibliography-Autocompletion stopped to work?

by Max Lein

Since I have never used BibDesk in conjunction with TextMate before, we can rule out #3 and I use option #2 only if #1 doesn't work or turn up the option I like. I'm definitely talking about #1, although I was a bit confused myself, to be honest. So here are some more details: (1) I have set the variable TM_LATEX_BIB (there are spaces in the path, not sure whether that is important). (2) I type \cite{ and start with the first few letters of a citation (e. g. King for KingSmithVanderbilt:blablabla). The scope is text.tex.latex, meta.citation.latex and constant.other.reference.citation.latex. Sounds alright to me, although you are clearly the expert here. (3) I hit escape and nothing happens, no autocompletion or toggling through my options. Instead, I get OS X' alarm bell. (4) I hit option + escape and everything works just fine. So TextMate definitely finds my bibliography file … If there is anything I can do for regression, just let me know. Max PS I will be on a conference Monday through Thursday, so I won't reply as quickly as I usually do.

CSS bundle - property name pair matching weirdness

by minimal design

Until yesterday, when I entered ":" after a class/id property name like: .class { property_name: As soon as I hit the ":" I'd get ": ;" with a space after the ":" ready to type the value. Now, suddenly I get no space anymore... Which is prety annoying because I finally got used to the space being there automatically... Worse even: when I go to work tomorrow, my version of TM there is probably going to insert that space and I'm going to go nuts switching between the 2 versions everyday... :'( I looked at CSS bundle prefs for PropertyName: { smartTypingPairs = ( ( ':', ';' ) ); } but I don't see where the space came from before and I didn't change anything there anyway... I don't really care either if I get the space automatically or not, but it took me a while to get used to it when TM first started to do that (I kept on inserting an extra space for like 2 weeks...) so what bothers me is that behavior changed... again... and I have no idea why. Happened to anyone else before? I did remove all the customized bundles and restarted TM fresh, but the auto insertion of the space is still gone... Thanks for any help!

R console mode difficulties

by Peter Cowan

Haris, What a great idea, I saw the commit and thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately I didn't have much success. I have R.app (1.16, R version 2.31) open and running. In the latest cutting edge I create a new document, choose the R console language and get the following errors: > print("hello world") 294:299: syntax error: Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier. (-2741) > x <- 7 152:163: execution error: System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1) Thanks for all your efforts! Peter

LaTeX: Bibliography-Autocompletion stopped to work?

by Niels Kobschaetzki

Hi! Right now I'm writing on the concept for a thesis and it seems that the bibliography-autocompletion stopped to work. I openend the bundle-editor and saw that there was no key assigned it. When I assign Escape I get text-autocompletion, if I assign alt +esc I get the same, if I assign anything else nothing happens. Can anyone verify that? I use built 1258 with an actual SVN-checkout and Bibdesk 1.2.9 for my bibliographies (but the last one shouldn't be important, should it?)

LaTeX: Bibliography-Autocompletion stopped to work?

by Max Lein

Same here, I was wondering why that function doesn't work anymore. I don't use BibTeX (it effed up the special characters in my bibliography, e. g. umlaute and it took me an hour to clean up my bib file). Instead, I have set the proper TextMate project variable and it did work before with the same project. But until recently, I could use only escape to shuffle through suitable entries of the bibliography without using BibDesk at all. I definitely prefer using escape over alt + escape, so if there is any way to get the old functionality back? Here's another vote against removing the old escape-only command ;-) Max

Django Templates Grammar Included in HTML Grammar?

by Brad Fults

I downloaded the Django Templates bundle and it works fine, but I have to select it as the active language on all of my template files. I would rather just select "HTML" as the language and have the Django Template stuff be included within HTML, just like PHP, Ruby, and Smarty are. I took a look at the grammar and tried a few things, but was unsuccessful at integrating them. Could anyone give pointers on how that integration should work or, better yet, a working HTML grammar that includes this change? Thanks. -- Brad Fults

a better label completion techique

by Piero D\\\\\\\'Ancona

Hi, this is a followup to the thread with a similar name, but I thought it deserved a new thread since I'm posting a complete solution (hehe - I'm trapped in a hotel room in Paris, it's raining here...) So: 1) create a new command "Lable Table" with input= entire document output=Show as HTML 2) the command is the following. (I know, I should post a .tmCommand file, but I do not know how so bear with me). GMane requested me to split the commands, but we have here 6 commands (5 sed and 1 tr) which should be on one line each. When joining back the last sed command do not introduce spaces. sed -n -e "/\\label/{=;N;N;G;p;}" | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/^$[0-9]*$$/\<p\>\<\/p\>\1/' | sed 's/$.$$/\1\<br\>/' | sed 's/\\label{$.*$}/\<a href=\"javascript:TextMate.system (\"\/usr\/bin\/osascript \&\>\/dev\/null -e %tell app \\\ "TextMate\\\" to insert \\\"\1\\\"% \& amp;\&quot, null);\"\>\\label{\1}\<\/a>/' | tr "%" "'" 3) open a .tex file and experiment. When you click on a label the argument is inserted. The command and the text insertion is very fast, and as to usability it's already better than the standard Label completion (my taste). Please, some real coder take this stuff and make it into some serious code, I think the result is pretty amazing compared with the simplicity. I am not able to extend the script for multiple files (i.e. one master file and the \includes), any help? Ciao, Piero

idea: a better label completion technique

by Piero D\'Ancona

Hi list I am using TextMate full time to write Latex and it's great, and improving. One thing I do not like is the CocoaDialog interface to insert \refs: too slow and clumsy. I (almost) can stand it for bibliography completion but \refs are too many, too similar to each other, and too frequently needed, so the dialog interrupts my workflow. So I started thinking and tinkering, but my coding skills are too poor (I also sent a msg to this list asking for help). Finally I think it is better to publish the idea and let the code wizards code it, if they like it. My feeling is that this could be the optimal way to insert references, even better than auctex's. The idea is very simple: parse the tex file, write all labels (plus some surrounding text) into an auxiliary .lbl file, convert this into html, and replace each \label{...} command with an "a href" to a tiny javascript command that tells TextMate to insert the label's name into the source file. Finally, output to HTML. (Improvement: just search the labels matching a few characters, as it is now). Do you see it? This produces an HTML window, with a list of all my labels, followed by the beginning lines of the equations (or section titles). More important, each label is clickable, and when I click on it, the reference gets inserted into the source file. I can keep the label window open, so no need to invoke the command over and over. When I add more equations, I just refresh the window as necessary. But I got stuck with some stupid coding problems. 1- Easy to grep the tex file for lines containing a \label command plus some context. E.g. the following command outputs line number, plus the \label line, plus two nonempty lines following it: sed -n -e "/\\label/{=;N;N;G;p;}" | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/^$[0-9]+$$/\n\1/' 2- Easy to save all this info into a file fileName.lbl and do some rudimentary html-ization (just add <p></p>'s to separate the labels from each other- you can do much better I know, but this is fast) 3- Not so difficult to replace each "\label{...}" with the javascript link. But I got stuck when writing the osascript. Let me explain. Is is easy to create a link such that, when I click on it, TeXniscope is activated (e.g.): <a href="javascript:TextMate.system('open -a TeXniscope', null);"> TeXniscope</a> Nice! So I said, I'll just insert an osascript telling TextMate to insert the label reference: <a href="javascript:TextMate.system("/ust/bin/osascript -e 'tell app \"TextMate\" to insert .......'", null);">\labe{...}</a> (of course, "....." must be replaced in both places with the \label's name, using some bash, and some string must be joined etc etc) This doesn't work. Why?? even the simple <a href="javascript:TextMate.system("/ust/bin/osascript -e 'tell app \"Finder\" to activate'", null);">Finder</a> does not work. This must be some escaping trickery. Could some pious wizard explain what's wrong? and even better, like the idea so much to code it? I do not think it should be hard (for you :). Regards, Piero

help: shell commands in HTML

by Piero D'Ancona

Hi, somebody help me, I guess it takes just a look at this code to spot what's wrong (for you): --------------------------------------- <html> <head> <script> function letsTry () { TextMate.system("/usr/bin/open -a /Applications/TeXniscope", null); }; } </script> </head> <body> <span id="letsTry"> <a onClick="letsTry()" href="#">Let's Try</a></span> </body> </html> --------------------------------------- I put this in a p.html file. I then create a command in TextMate that does " cat p.html " and outputs to HTML. The HTML appears, but of course clicking on the link does nothing, not certainly opening TeXniscope as hoped. Documentation(s) perused, sleep hours lost. Any idea? Piero

List of files when a folder in drawer selected?

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, It would be cool if I could see the list of the files contained in the folders on the main window when folders in project drower are highlighted. Currently, when the folder is selected, the main window continues showing the file I'm currently editing. Even when no files are open, which means that the drawer and the main window, the window shows nothing but the large TextMate icon. It would be great if we could get a list of the names of the files containted in the folder. Additional information such as the date created and the date last modified would be nice. This, I belive, helps those who use long file names as well as people who use similar prefix for file names. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

Another Subversion Commit Broken

by Ryan Powell

My subversion bundle "Commit" command stopped working - I get the following message: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Subversion.tmbundle/Support/svn_commit.rb:12:in `require': no such file to load -- /Users/ryan/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/bin/shelltokenize.rb (LoadError) from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Subversion.tmbundle/Support/svn_commit.rb:12 I've searched the archive and I've seen a couple of similar threads, and like some of them, this also only seems to apply to commit (I can still use the diff commands). Maybe I'm missing something, because the recommendations I found didn't work or didn't apply. I've added TM_SVN (/usr/local/bin/svn) to my TextMate shell variables, and I tried adding it to my .bash_profile and changing BASH_ENV in the preferences. The other recommendations centered around the version of Ruby, and I'm running Tiger and have version 1.8.2 already installed. I'm running TextMate version 1.5.3 (1258), and have the latest subversion bundle installed. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Ryan

Lucky Linking Trio

by Brett Terpstra

These are my three variations of the "Lucky Linking" idea, where the command searches Google with the selected text and returns the "I'm feeling lucky" result as a link. I have modified all three commands so that they require no extra support files, but they do require some standard libraries that I made assumptions that everyone would have. If I'm wrong, let me know. The Get Title from URL variation is just an improvement on iamrice.org's version. The regex is a little more flexible, and it returns a link with a title attribute. The Google modification incorporates the Get Title command and grabs the title from the "Lucky Link", using the updated regex, and inserts it as a title attribute in the link. The Wikipedia version goes a few steps further and scrapes the pages with a quick regex to determine if it's a final destination or another search page (or disambiguation page). It provides a dropdown menu when there are multiple results. It will also detect if there is a redirect and put the correct link and title into the link while leaving your original text alone. This should allow you to quickly see if it got off on the wrong track. I am no good at either programming or regular expressions ;-). I do my best to fool people. But I am eager to learn from my mistakes, so if you do take the time to look at these, please give me as much feedback as you can. I'll lap it up like a puppy. Cheers! Brett

Re: [TxMt] Split the project drawer?

by David Rogers

Mark, Thanks for the advice. I rarely use the drawer buttons due to the Ctrl-Click functionality; everything is duplicated in the pop-up menu anyway. The problem I've been experiencing originated from trying to create a group from files and folders within a top-level folder reference, which probably conflicts with the 'Groups can't exist in Folder Reference' rule; Textmate doesn't make the logical jump to create a top-level group. This does represent desirable behavior, however, as it would be conducive to one's workflow to have both folder refs _and_ groups, just not intermixed. I'm not sure how Allan has implemented the data structures for Groups and Folders in the Project Drawer, but they're probably the same base type and TM does a quick type/class check to ensure Groups don't get mixed in with Folders. While I can definitely see the use of both, I haven't quite gotten a grip on how Groups are created, I think. I can't find anything in the GUI that allows me to create an empty Group, although the GUI supports creating an empty Folder. Of course, this has to do with the tie that Folders have to the filesystem, but the ability to create an empty top-level Group and populate it with file references would be nice. Then again, I haven't really found a way to duplicate file / folder references, either, once the groups have been established. That stuff might just still be on the drawing board.

Submission question: Wikipedia Code

I have a small bundle with some Wikipedia "Lucky Linking" code that I'd like to submit for people to play with. What's the proper way to do that? The bundle includes one support file (stolen from the blogging bundle) and 4 commands: Search Wikipedia and Create Link Basic version of Wikipedia Link Updated Google Link Updated Get Title of URL I also have a collection of HTML snippets, commands and macros that I think might be worth sharing. I've posted some to my blog, but thought this might be a far more direct way to get them to people who might care... Thanks, Brett

Thanks, Allan. Any reason, programmatically speaking, that Textmate couldn't handle both file/folder references _and_ groupings? I've encountered quite a few instances in my most recent projects where this feature would be more than a little handy. Certainly one can work around it, though.

Split the project drawer?

by David Rogers

Hi, I'm another (mostly) happy (more like nigh-elated) textmate user. Does anyone recall this thread? How about this comment regarding multiple panes in the Project drawer: > You can't currently do anything nearly so complex. > You CAN make groups of files, however. > > Just select a few files and the "group this stuff" command is it the > little widget menu at the bottom of the drawer. > > This can actually speed textmate up quite a bit if you're working on > a remote volume. Does anyone know of any conditions that would prevent files from being grouped? I've been trying to select a number of files for grouping, and encountered no success. I've selected files in the same folder reference, different folder references, files and folders in the same and different folder references, everything I can think of. The "Group Selected Files..." option in the widget / ctrl-click menu, however, is always grayed out (disabled). Any suggestions? David

Filtering request for "Wrap Selection as Link" HTML command

by Glenn Batuyong

When creating documents to validate with the XHTML doctype, the ampersand character in any URL needs to be escaped as an HTML entity & ...TextMate will perform this automatic transformation on copied items when you select text and use the "Wrap Selection as Link" command. It takes the clipboard contents, filters it, and uses the result as the default URL in the link. However, if the URL from the clipboard already has escaped ampersands, TextMate will transform the entity as &amp; Clipboard Example: /some.php?option1=foo&option2=bar When the Wrap Selection as Link command is issued wtih this URL stored in memory, you get something like the following: <a href="/some.php?option1=foo&amp;option2=bar" target="_blank">some link</a> TextMate's default behavior may need to be adjusted so it checks for escaped ampersands in a URL before attempting to transform it.

The file association war

by Trevor Harmon

I've installed TextMate, BBEdit, and XCode, and I seem to be caught in the crossfire of a file association war. Example: TextMate wants to be the editor for Fortran 90 files (.f90), but BBEdit wants to be the editor for Fortran 77 (.f77) files, and XCode wants to be the editor for plain old Fortran (.for) files. Does that make sense to anyone? What I'd like to do is remove all of BBEdit's and XCode's associations, thus leaving TextMate as the editor for just about everything (because it's set up to open unassociated files). Is there an easy way to do that? I know of a program called RCDefaultApp that can show the associations for a given app, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do a "bulk unassociation," just one by one. Is there a better way?

EOL shortcut

by Dave Winzler

Up until a few days ago I've used ctl-rightArrow to move to the end of the current line in TextMate, and shift-ctl-rightArrow to extend the selection to the end of line. Now it seems those commands move to/ select the next word, and are the same as opt-rightArrow and shift- opt-rightArrow respectively. It's entirely possible that I changed something on my end, but I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this? I'm using TextMate 1.5.3 (1258), and this started happening about two cutting-edge versions ago. FWIW, ctl-rightArrow (and shift version) still work the way they should in my other programs like Mail.app and TextEdit. It's only in TextMate that they act weird. - Dave

Remind Bundle

by Mark Eli Kalderon

I am very happy to see remind being supported. (Thanks, Haris!) I have two comments/observations, though. First, though it is good practice to scope commands, there is a reason to leave the display of your calendar unscoped. As it stands, these receive the scope of source.remind. That means in order to view your calendar, you need to navigate to your remind file(s). If they are unscoped, you can view your calendar on the fly while working on unrelated files. Second, about the Remind-->Show-->This Month command. Why not use the rem2html command? The output is more readable, and anyway it seems odd to have html output of text---all that is being added is the nice header. A screenshot for comparison and an alternative monthly command can be found at: http://www.kalderon.demon.co.uk/Remind.html (As anyone may gather from the screenshot, term here in London begins in October.) All the best, Mark _________________ Mark Eli Kalderon Department of Philosophy University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT Dept webpage: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/philosophy Personal wepage: http://www.kalderon.demon.co.uk

I think there must be a parser in TextMate that detects quotes, which sets off some flag indicating that we're within quotes, which then causes that text to be displayed as green. However, I think instead of detecting all quotes to set off the flag, Allan should detect non-escaped quotes. For example, open("http://www.myspace.com/").read.match /<form action=\"(.*?)\"/ # Code from here on down appears green as though it were still within quotes even though it was an escaped quote inside of a regular expression context. Okay, that's my two-cent contribution to the world. I hope it really is worth at least two cents. Great program! Keep up the great work! David :) http://www.dbitsolutions.com/

bug? pasting in overwrite mode

by Michael Reece

intuitively, i would expect pasting in overwrite mode (⌥⌘O) to overwrite instead of insert. doing an insert in this mode is especially annoying since delete (⌦) cannot delete the text that was shoved right. --- michael reece :: software engineer :: mreece(a)vinq.com

Oniguruma question.

I have a .h file written by a programmer of the school that believes Whitespace Causes Cancer: ============== - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)notification; - (void)applicationWillTerminate:(NSNotification *)notification; ============== I am trying to automate putting spaces after the )s with the search RE /\)(?=\S)/, to be replaced with ') ' -- that's close-parenthesis, space.

writing man pages

by Lewis Overton

I've been working on man pages for a bash script. It's been kind of a pain, mostly because I don't know the formatting commands well enough. TM has made so many other tasks easier, so I've wondered about using it for man page writing. Or ... what are other people doing so write these pages. I know there are dedicated editors, but learning another editor isn't where I want to spend my time. Maybe that's the best answer. That's why I'm asking this obviously knowledgeable group. A man writing bundle? A different editor? Suffer? Give it up and switch to ... no, I can't go on. ;) Lewy

Sorry, Allan, the new functionality doesn't buy me anything and it took away something I've being using since I switched to TextMate a year ago. There are probably people that benefit from the sub-word jumps, but I select to EOL/BOL way too often to want to give up the shortcut.

Consistency between apps is really important to me, and TextMate does different things with shift-ctl-arrows than the other apps I live in (like Mail, textarea boxes in Safari, and TextEdit). So I either have to live with TextMate's inconsistency or keep modifying TextMate's KeyBindings file or messing with iKey to map my keypresses into something that works with TextMate. BTW, what is TextMate's official "select to EOL" shortcut anyway? - Dave

Feature request for "Convert Selection to Entities" command

by Glenn Batuyong

Even with the pervasiveness of XHTML, some web developers forget that the XML specification only defines five built-in character entities and most of the converted named entities that TextMate produces actually break some apps that rely on this strict interpretation. It would be convenient if there was another conversion command that would use the numeric ISO character in place of the named entity. For example, instead of of converting a ' character to ' the proposed command would output ’ ...and – would instead be – I would assume that TextMate would need to store an updated HTML -> XML lookup table to do this, similar to the old command.

GTD Bundle Commands not working

by Adam Potthast

Has anyone else had problems with "Active GTD List View" and "Export to Geektool" in the GTD bundle following the last couple of Textmate updates? When I run Active GTD List view I get the following error: /tmp/temp_textmate.H0K13x:78: undefined method `pre_match' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /tmp/temp_textmate.H0K13x:74:in `each' from /tmp/temp_textmate.H0K13x:74 from /tmp/ temp_textmate.H0K13x:70:in `each' from /tmp/temp_textmate.H0K13x:70 from /tmp/temp_textmate.H0K13x:67:in `each' from /tmp/ temp_textmate.H0K13x:67 Export to Geektool throws up a different error that I can't copy and paste, but it appears to be missing the 'pre_match' method as well. Regular GTD List view still seems to work fine. Thanks, Adam

Latex bundle problem

Committing with SVN Bundle

by Bryan Liles

When committing with the SVN bundle, you have to manually deselect any file that you don't want to commit. This is fine if the list of files that has been updated is small, but when dealing with a list of over 30 updated files, deselecting 29 files is a bit tedious when you only want to commit one file. I'm asking the SVN Bundle maintainer to add a button (or two) at the top of the commit dialog to allow the ability for "Select All/Deselect All" thanks.

various little ruby indentation/folding annoyances

by Patrick Gundlach

Hello all, I am using the ruby bundle a lot, and I like it so much! But there are some annoyances where I have to decide between using TM/folding or rewriting my code. IMO the editor/grammar should not be confused by correct ruby syntax. I am using the latest textmate (downloaded today, 1258) and don't have any changes to the ruby bundle. I know, I could fix these in my copy of the ruby bundle, but I'd like to see the fixes in the distribution. Thanks in advance, Patrick -------------------------------------------------- lines=%{a b # <--- I'd like to have no indentation here on 'reindent' c} # missing folding marker lines.collect do |line| line end.class # missing folding marker tmp = lines.somemeth { |l| l.upcase }.foo # missing folding marker, wrong indentation a = myvar.each do |x| x.foo end def baz a=case foo # missing folding marker (or the one at the end is one too many) when :b # and incorrect indentation c when :d e end end --------------------------------------------------

XCode bundle command to share.

by Scott Andrew

Here is a command that i added to my XCode bundle to set a breakpoint in the front most file. Note that this assumes that the project is open in XCode. Thanks for the help on this list to make this work. In case you are wondering why the name of the file and not the path name.. The file reference type for XCode uses the name of the source file only. #!/usr/bin/env ruby # import the frontmost opened project window in Xcode proect = %x{"#{ENV['TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT']}/bin/find_xcode_project.rb"} named = File.basename(proect) xCodeProject = named.sub(/\.(xcodeproj|xcode|pbproj)\/?$/, "").chomp %x{osascript -e 'tell application "TextMate" set myName to name of front document end tell tell application "Xcode" tell project named "#{xCodeProject}" set bp to make new file breakpoint with properties {line number:#{ENV['TM_LINE_NUMBER']}} set file reference of bp to file reference named myName set enabled of bp to true end tell end tell'}

TODO bundle running slow

by Dave Baldwin

Tried to use the TODO bundle and it was taking an age (10s of seconds) to give me a result. Some puts in the command code showed it was parsing all the text files in the directory and sub directories that the project file resided in. These files are a super set of the ones in the project draw - I only expected it to search in the project specific files. As a contrast using the 'find in project command' to search for TODO returns instantly. Dave.

Find in Bundle Editor

by Jeremy Bernstein

There seems to be a bug in the Find function within the Bundle Editor. 1. Launch TextMate 2. Open the Bundle Editor 3. Navigate to, for instance, the C Grammar 4. Perform a Find for "function.c" 5. Perform a Find for "prototype" 6. Close the Bundle Editor and/or the Find window, reopen and try again. 7. Make a sad face Sometimes, if I close both the Bundle Editor and Find windows, it works, but usually not. Oh, I just did an archive search and see that this was reported in January. Well, maybe it was forgotten? *bump* Cheers & thanks - this software is really great. jb

Conditional insertion help

by guerom00

Hi all, I made some snippets using conditional insertions for my declarations in Fortran. For example, I have this one : real*${1:8}${2: a/d}${2/(,a)|(,d)/(?1:llocatable) (?2:imension)/}${2/,a|(,d)/(?1:)/} :: ${3:name}${2/,d|(,a)/(?1:)/} $0 which does that : http://guerom00.free.fr/clutter/Cond_insert.mov What I would like to do is, in the “allocatable” or “dimension” case, that the caret goes between the braces after I type in the name. In the snippet definition, that would be to somehow define a $4 key but I really don't know how to do this... Any help is much appreciated :-) PS : Once again, due to my poor knowledge of RegExp, if anyone has some suggestions/improvements for this snippet, he is quite welcome :-D

What for: Sound Files in TextMate

Navigating Documentation

Hi, I really appreciate TextMate's implementation of Documentation. If I'm correct, most of them are just webpages created by searching on- line and/or creating HTML on the fly.

Applescript - Getting content of frontmost document

TextMate on OS X 10.3.9

I recently acquired TextMate 1.5.3, and am overall very pleased with it. However, I am running OS X 10.3.9, and several bundles do not work correctly. In particular, several commands in the Latex and TODO bundles do not work. Some of the problems were fixed by installing Ruby 1.8 from Fink, but many others remain. Any help would be appreciated.

Avoiding hidden menu items and buttons

by Michael Henry

Hi, As I've been using TextMate, I've noticed that some of the features are, in my opinion, unnecessarily hard to discover. Certain menu items are hidden from the user unless the user presses the option modifier key while holding the menu open. Pressing option causes one of the existing menu items to change meaning. For example, the Edit menu of TextMate has a "Paste Previous" command that converts to "Paste Next" when option is pressed. The Text menu has the command "Execute Line Inserting Result" that converts to "Execute Line and Replace With Result" when option is pressed. This makes it harder to discover the available commands in TextMate because the user must know to press option in order to see these hidden menu items. As a recent Mac switcher, it was a couple of months before I realized OS X menus had this hidden capability. Besides making features harder to discover, hidden menus are harder to select with only the mouse because the user must press "option" to have the items available for clicking. Also, IIRC, there is additional difficulty assigning keyboard shortcuts to these menu items (I don't remember the details, but I thought there was something about this on the TextMate mailing list). On a related note, certain buttons on dialog boxes are hidden in a similar way (for instance, the Find dialog's "Replace" button converts to "Replace in Selection" when option is pressed). There are no visible indications that the buttons are dual-purpose; indeed, the user may never know they are there unless he stumbles over them (as I did) by accidentally pressing option while the dialog box is open. Would it be possible to avoid using hidden menus and buttons in TextMate? Other than trying to keep the menu length a little shorter or the dialog box a bit smaller, I've not come up with a benefit to hiding these items from the user, and in my opinion there are several benefits to making them visible all the time. Thanks for your consideration, Michael Henry

Yes I have tried TeXniscope several times. 2 problems: - there is no search facility and this is important often to find unresolved bibliography entries etc. - it crashes frequently This is why I have repeated returned to Preview.app. I have not tried the TeXShop previewer.

Yes, it is immediately possible. I've just added marginpar to the footnote environment (so its scope is now both footnotes and marginpars alike), took about 10 seconds :-) I already figured folding would be a more intricate matter. > Update: marginpars are now matched with scope > meta.paragraph.marginpar.latex, so you can color them as you like. > > > (iv) Use input instead of include when dragging a .tex document > > into another: afaik include is deprecated and input is preferred > > instead.

If they are hidden in section 5.2, fewer people will actually use them -- which is a pity. I have given the help some more thought and I think that also one chapter about customizing the LaTeX bundle is missing. Somehow I haven't come across a good documentation on how to edit bundles, something like a HowTo is definitely missing. For me, the most helpful kind of documentation is one that explains by example (e. g. Samba by Example). So I would suggest to write HowTo sections on `Getting Started', `Big LaTeX Projects', `Customizing The LaTeX Bundle'. I would be willing to make additions of my own. Ok, that's all for now. Max

How to match recursive blocks when begin goes over two lines

by Andreas Pardeike

Hi, I am slowly adapting to the language defs. Great. Now, I am having difficulties to specify recursive blocks for a language. So far, I got it working pretty good for things like ----------------- %function foo() { %{ %} %} ----------------- as I created a matcher for {%..%} that calls itself and thus the matcher for the function which for simplicity I state here as begin = '%function .* \{' end = '%}' will match the last %} and not the previous one. Cool. Now, how do I allow for this case: --------------- %function foo() { %{ %} %} --------------- I can't get it to work even though I know that the matcher only matches whole lines. The language I try to define is an obsolete old IBM mainframe macro language called Net.DATA (please, don't ask why). So a block starts either as '%keyword_and_more {' or as '% keyword_and_more\n{' and always ends in '%}'. Is it possible to define this? I assume that I need to define two rule sets to simulate the two states and then either start in state A or B and do the recursion within each set. Right? Andreas Pardeike PS: If you like, you can see my current definition: { scopeName = 'source.netdata'; fileTypes = ( '' ); foldingStartMarker = '%.*\{|%(?i:if)'; foldingStopMarker = '%\}|%(?i:endif)'; patterns = ( { include = '#embeddedstuff'; }, { name = 'source.netdata.comment'; match = '^%\{.*?%\}'; }, ); repository = { embeddedstuff = { patterns = ( { include = '#shtml'; }, { include = '#netdata'; }, ); }; netdata = { patterns = ( { name = 'keyword.control.netdata.conditional'; match = '%(?i:if|else|endif)'; }, { name = 'keyword.control.netdata.include'; match = '%(?i:include).*'; }, { name = 'keyword.control.shtml.include'; match = ''; }, { name = 'source.netdata.block'; begin = '(%\{(?i:macro)?)'; end = '(%\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.netdata'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '#embeddedstuff'; } ); }, { name = 'source.netdata.function'; begin = '(%function\s*$([^)]*)$)\s+(\w+$.*$)\s*(\{)'; end = '(%\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.netdata'; }; 2 = { name = 'source.netdata.function.type'; }; 3 = { name = 'source.netdata.function.name'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '#embeddedstuff'; } ); }, { name = 'source.netdata.block'; begin = '(%.*?)\s*$.*$\s*(\{)'; end = '(%\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.netdata'; }; 2 = { name = 'keyword.control.netdata'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '#embeddedstuff'; } ); }, { name = 'source.netdata.block'; begin = '(%.*)\s?(\{)'; end = '(%\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.netdata'; }; 2 = { name = 'keyword.control.netdata'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '#embeddedstuff'; } ); }, ); }; shtml = { name = 'source.netdata.embedded.shtml'; begin = '(?='; patterns = ( { name = 'keyword.control.shtml.include'; match = '(?i:include.*?=".*?")'; } ); }; }; }

Blue screen?

by Bob Sidebotham

When doing multiple finds, the textmate window goes a light shade of blue, and then stays that way unless I search backwards. How do I turn this off, and what is it supposed to mean? I've looked in the manual, and don't see anything about this (not under Find). Thanks, Bob Sidebotham

Missing "require" in ruby web preview

by Paul McCann

Hi, my glacial migration to ruby continues: I've been dipping into the TextMate book and noticed that ^H should bring up doc refs for ruby keywords. Unfortunately using the command (in build 1252) just threw up a tooltip complaining about "url_encode" being an undefined method. I think that the file web_preview.rb in TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib needs to have the following pasted in after "require erb" : include ERB::Util Well, that fixed the problem for me. Cheers, Paul

OCaml Syntax Highlighting

by Jeremy Cowgar

Greetings, I believe there is a problem in the OCaml syntax highlighting. It has to do with: let xxx = 10 and yyy = 20 If you want it to color that correctly, you have to: let xxx = 10 and yyy = 20 Can someone verify? I have posted two screen shots: http://lifewithchrist.org/OCaml_tm.png <- wrong way http://lifewithchrist.org/OCaml_tm_correct.png <- right way Notice on the first image, how the vars turn italic and purple. But also notice how the try statement below does the exact same thing. Jeremy

Collaborative Editing

by Derek Belrose

I was at a local Mac Users Group meeting last night and during the Q&A session, they were writing down all Q&A's using SubEthaEdit. The one cool thing was there was 2-3 people writing this stuff down, populating URLs, etc. I read Allan's "Future" posting, but I saw nothing about it and was wondering if TextMate would ever get this cool feature? It's probably the only thing I'm left wanting at the end of the day. Thanks! Derek

Large projects?

by Bob Sidebotham

I would like to be able to use Textmate with very large directory trees. I have a tree that has well over 100,000 files in it, and when I try to open the top-level directory, I get the spinning beach ball. I end up having to terminate Textmate, losing any other open sessions. The behavior I'd like is for Textmate to only look at the top level directory, and to browse into lower level directories as I open them. I *think* that it is actually trying to read in the entire directory tree, but this is not a good idea in this case (my file system also happens to be NFS mounted). Any chance of supporting this in the future? Has anyone else run into this? Thanks, Bob

help with perl search/replace for paragraphs

by Oliver Taylor

I'm using a perl search/replace string to re-format documents into HTML. I'm using the following for regular paragraphs: s/^[^\n\t\<].*/<p>$&<\/p>/g; That takes care of single-line paragraphs like this: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. This is just like what you'd get from Markdown, paragraphs separated by a blank line are wrapped in a paragraph tag. But I'd like to add a rule that looks for paragraphs that have hard-breaks in them, like this: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. and wrap them in markup like this: <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, <br /> consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do <br /> eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore <br /> et dolore magna aliqua.</p> The key is finding lines that end only to be followed by more lines in the same paragraph. My RegEx-fu is okay, but not great, so I've come close, but I can't get it right. Thanks in advance.

TODO question (duplicate entries)

I tried to track down the other files. I could not find them until I read about using 'find in project'. They were inside a directory with the suffix .texp which was generated it appears by texshop. The files were in a 'soft links' subfolder. Deleting this directory (which must have been generated in the past) solved my duplicate entry problem. Thanks, Christopher Brewster

Feature Request: same behavior as Xcode + TextEdit

by Andreas Pardeike

Hi, can we get the same end-of-text-click behavior as in Xcode, TextEdit and BBedit? I am talking about this: (1) If you click in the empty area at the end of a text document, the text cursor jumps either into the last line exactly vertical to the clicked position OR (2) The cursor jumps at the very end of the text. Most apps in MacOS X do it the (2) way. TextMate does it the (1) way. It is simply annoying. Just a comment for an otherwise great app, Andreas Pardeike

script arguments/input

by eriksf＠hypersonik.net

I've been playing around with running python scripts from TextMate (PyMate) which is great. Is there a way to pass arguments or input to the script. I realize I could just as easily run this from the command line, but I figured I'd check anyway.

Switching to TextMate is slow

by Colm McMullan

Hi, I'm running build 1215 on a MacBook and whenever I switch application into TextMate it takes a few seconds before the application becomes active. For those few seconds the application is just frozen (although it buffers keypresses and executes them when it becomes active). This is very annoying :) Anyone able to help? Thanks, Colm

String Formatting and TM Snippets

by gwendy

I'm fairly new to TextMate, and completely new to Snippets, so I may be asking something overly ambitious for a newbie. If so, I beg your indulgence ;) I'm working on a snippet which will automate the creation of versioned tables, a la the acts_as_versioned plugin[1]. I've started with a tab trigger which will paste in the outer self.up and self.down definitions. Following the example in the "for ... in ... end" snippet, I've figured out how to have my specified table name repeated throughout all the appropriate places in the snippet. So all ready, what I've got is a huge key-stroke saver :) But obviously, an ideal snippet would go further yet. Here's what I've got: def self.up create_table :${1:table}s do |t| t.column :version, :int $0 end ${1/./\u$0/}.create_versioned_table do |t| t.column :${1:table}_id, :int t.column :version, :int end end def self.down drop_table :${1:table}s drop_table :${1:table}_versions end EOS As you can see, the snippet currently fills in a couple of default columns for both my main table and its versioned partner. Is it possible to then begin typing in column definitions for the primary table (where the cursor currently ends at $0), and have those columns mirrored in the versioned table below? Thanks in advance for any pointers someone can offer! Gwendy [1] http://ar-versioned.rubyforge.org/

Nested snippets

by Emmanuel Turquin

Hi, I just started creating my own snippets, and was wondering if it's possible to write 'recursive' snippets. Let me give an example: say I use the banner snippet from the source bundle: // ========== // = Banner = // ========== I'm currently in the $1 tab, and instead of 'Banner', I want to use another snippet, triggered by base<TAB> and which will extend into, say, "All your base are belong to us". // ======== // = base = // ======== <TAB> // ================================== // = All your base are belong to us = // ================================== Once this second snippet is completed, I then go back to the first one, where I left it. This far, I haven't found such a nested scopes option in the snippet syntax, but since I'm a newb I may have missed it. If this feature really isn't available, I think it'd be a valuable addition (even though the example I gave is completely phony). We could imagine a special syntax indicating wether the current tab is in protected mode - as it is now - or if it can be subject to other triggers. For example, $1 and $$1 resp. What do you think of it? Regards, Emmanuel

Minor update request to Python Bundle

by Steve Lianoglou

Hey there, Can we update the Python Language definition in order to add folding markers for python docstrings (particularly for long function docstrings)? Since there is an explicit beginning and end marker for these, I reckon this should be pretty easy, but I'm not sure how to add it in the face of that foldingStartMarker regex I see in the Python bundle (I have the latest one from SVN). So, the convention (from what I understand) is this: A long doc strings for a function looks like so: ----- python code ------- def my_function(param1, param2): """This function does xyz There is some long documentation here ... ... ... blah blah ... .... """" # real python code here ----------------------------- So, something like adding a fold start and stop marker for """ could do the trick (the indentation levels should be the same for start and stop """ when folding is necessary). Of course you can have this: ----------- def my_function(param1, param2): """Short docstring"""" # real python code here ---------- So I don't know if that will hose it any, but I'm guessing it would be ok since you can one-line { .. } code in languages that have brace begin/end block markers. Thanks, -steve

Defining own language based on php + html?

by Andreas Pardeike

Hi, I have the following meta language which uses the tags <php>...</php> and <htm>...</htm> to embed php and html. Now, I would like to write a custom language module that builds on the existing descriptions of php + html but I cannot get it to work due to the 2 level recursion that can occur. Here's an example that I would like to format: -------------------------------------- <span value="prefix"/> <php> print($foo); <htm><span value="cool"/></htm> </php> <span value="foo"/> <php> print($bar); <htm> <span value="test1"/> <php> print($test); </php> <span value="test2"/> </htm> print($extra); </php> <span value="suffix"/> -------------------------------------- The outmost context is html and everything can be embedded in each other in many levels. Is this possible? I got close but i.e. I have problems using include "source.php" because it expects <?php as a start tag. Is this *very* complicated? Andreas Pardeike

Changes: * parsing for the function statements to catch 'global proc' and 'proc' better * preference to allow function names to be put into the symbol list * moved global out of keyword.control.mel to keyword.other.mel * made all scopes point to mel Take what you want and feel free to point out where I made errors.

I don't think this is something you can keep up with the increasing complexity. Thus, I don't think it's a good idea to constrain yourself in such a way.

I would say both. Take a look what I did, I hacked your bundle to get the functionality I want -- at the expense that it might break in the future.

LaTeX bundle: all references included in drop-down menu in the bottom

by Max Lein

After installing the latest LaTeX bundle, I have noticed that *all* labels are now included in the drop-down menu in the bottom instead of just the section labels. Since I usually have 40+ citations in my papers and notes, the drop-down menu has been rendered unusable. Is there any way to fix this? Max

Ctrl-S wrapping warning

by guerom00

OK. The title is terrible... Sorry... This is a feature request. When I search a word in a file with ⌃S, I would like some warning (either a sound, or so...) when the search starts again from the beginning of the file I hope I make myself clear... :D Thanks in advance :)

repeat scratch macro

by Andreas Wahlin

I sometimes find myself reformating big chunks of code (html) and then i usually build a little scratch macro, and then i just hit shift +command+m lots of times to go through the code. while this works, is there an easy way to say something like "do this until end of file" or simmilar? perhaps make the macro dependant on finding the next text string of something until the end or something? andreas

Abysmal typing speed problems with LaTeX and spellchecking

by Christian Bogen

Hi, I've been experiencing this for quite a while now but until now had no time to dig into the matter: With "Check Spelling as You Type" I'm experiencing abysmal typing speed problems when working on LaTeX documents. It only happens when I'm working some in already existing paragraphs, *not* when typing at the end of the document. I can actually see single letters appearing one after another in slow- motion. Very annoying! Once I turn off "Check Spelling as You Type" everything's back to normal, but it lacks a lot of convenience ... It this a known problem? Does anybody else experience these problems, too? (I'm working on a 12" PB (1st gen., 867 mhz) maxed out with 1.12 GB RAM. It's plain text with a bit of markup so the machine *should* be up to it ...!) Christian

Blogging bundle: Movable Type category support?

by Andrew Jaffe

Hi All [Brad Choate in particular, I imagine], I was wondering about the status of MT Category support in the blogging bundle. Given the pedigree of the bundle's author (!) I would imagine this would be a pretty important feature... Yours, Andrew

full python folding?

by Andrew Jaffe

Hi all, I was wondering about the status of 'full' support for folding in python? The current implementation based on blank lines, spaces, etc., doesn't quite work for me. I understand that the 'folding engine' as it is can't really handle python's indentation model -- but is some support in the cards? Andrew

Bug: minor - Install 'Edit in TextMate' command fails

by Andrew Durdin

Minor bug report: In my .bash_profile I have GREP_OPTIONS=-Hn so that the output from grep always includes the file name and line number (more often than not I'm searching multiple files). However, this caused the "Install 'Edit in TextMate'" command to fail, saying: Error The input manager ((standard input):2:/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/Edit in TextMate) was not found in the TextMate application bundle. You may need a newer version of TextMate. Once I realised the source of the error, working around was straightforward; if you think it needs fixing, the simplest way is probably just to change the first line of the script in the plist from: SRC="$(ps -xwwp $PPID -o command|grep TextMate.app|perl -pe 's/(.*?.app).*/\1/')/Contents/Resources/Edit in TextMate" to: SRC="$(ps -xwwp $PPID -o command|GREP_OPTIONS= grep TextMate.app|perl -pe 's/(.*?.app).*/\1/')/Contents/Resources/Edit in TextMate" Cheers, Andrew

Folding phpDoc comment blocks

by George Crawford

Hi, I can't get folding to work for phpDoc comment blocks. The reason is that the closing marker is seen by TextMate as being indented by one extra space. phpDoc blocks start with /**, each commented line starts with a space and a *, and the final line starts with a space followed by */. Is there any way to get folding to work in this case? TIA _________________ George

Recreating bbinclude in TextMate?

by Ken Anderson

Hi, After a quick search of the TextMate Wiki and archives of this list, I am writing to ask about TextMate's ability to support a useful feature related to BBEdit's support for creating websites. In particular, BBEdit has a feature called "bbinclude" that allows one to insert statements like   into an HTML file. You can then "update" the host file and BBEdit pulls in the text from the referenced file and includes it in the host file. For instance, my footer.html file looks like this: <div id="footer"> <p>© Kenneth M. Anderson, 1998-#YEARNUM#.</p> <p>Last Updated: #SHORTDATE#; #TIME#</p> </div> and when I run the update command, it generates text like this:  <div id="footer"> <p>© Kenneth M. Anderson, 1998-2006.</p> <p>Last Updated: 08/01/06; 3:43 PM</p> </div>  I love TextMate and use it for a variety of tasks, including the creation of HTML pages, BUT, I miss BBEdit's bbinclude functionality. Is there anyway to recreate this functionality in TextMate? I'm currently using simple snippets with tab triggers to mimic a portion of this functionality but sometimes I'd like to update multiple sections of an HTML file at once and tab-triggered snippets are not sufficient to address that need. In addition, I'd love to have the ability to update all the HTML files contained within a TextMate project with one command. Possible? Suggestions / feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Remote project

by Hadrien Lanneau

Hi, I usualy work on remote files by opening them with Transmit. When I worked with BBEdit, theses files were opened as tabs in a single windows as the project windows of TextMate. But i don't think it's possible to do this directly in TM. I have to create a new Project, open my files, and them by drag'n'drop in the project. It would be nice to decide if files open in a tab window and it would be very nice if we could open directly remote files from TextMate. Merci. :) Hadrien Lanneau HomeWorks() { -> http://www.hadrien.eu; } Podcast() { -> http://www.AltI.info; } Services() { -> http://www.altnetvision.info; } Chat with me() { -> iChat/AIM/MSN : hadrienl(a)mac.com; -> Jabber { moi(a)im.hadrien.eu; hadrienl(a)gmail.com; } }

HTML and PHP Include Question

by Derek Belrose

Good evening, If I were to add an extra "tag" for foldingStartMarker and foldingStopMarker in the PHP bundle, am I under the assumption that it would be read by the HTML bundle when TextMate sees it inside the <?php ?> region? When I am editing a PHP file and set the bundle to PHP, the folding marks show up. But, when in HTML mode and use the same markers in the PHP region, the folding marks are no longer appearing. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I need to do something else? Thanks

Converting RHTML to Markaby

Does anybody have/know of a macro or other bundle that converts RHTML to Markaby templates? I created a basic macro that converts '<tr>' to 'tr do', '</tr>' to 'end', and so on.
