Hello all,
I've been slowly (and I do mean slowly) putting together an ExpressionEngine
bundle over the last several months. It's mainly snippets, but it also can look
up a selected EE tag in the user manual and display it in a small TextMate
window. It has code highlighting, but I'm not sure I've set it up correctly. I
also don't have all the EE tags implemented.
Which leads me to the reason I'm writing this. I've had several people tell me
they'd love to try out the bundle, but I just don't have the time to make this
bundle work perfectly. What I'd like to do is add it to the list of available
bundles and let anyone who wants to make it better. The more people contributing
to it the better it will be.
Again, I'm not sure I've set up code highlighting correctly, so that should be
one of the first things people check out.
One note, EE tags can be used inside of other code (XHTML, XML, CSS, etc). In
order for highlighting to work correctly, I had to add an extra language inside
of the HTML and XHTML bundles called HTML (EE) and XHTML (EE). Is that the
correct way to do it or what?
Anyway, enough rambling. I'm not sure how people feel about attachments in this
list, so I didn't attach the bundle to this message. If someone could tell me
how to add it to the bundles list on the TextMate site or do it for me, that'd
be great. I'm looking forward to seeing how others improve the bundle.

Thank you Thank you Thank you for the effort Chris I've been waiting for something like this. :)

Here is a useful bundle for testing out ruby snippets. It includes a
script from eigenclass.org[1].
⌘= insert/remove an eval marker for the current line
⌘E evaluates and annotate the file according to the markers
If there are errors they are placed at the end of the file.
Examples (after eval):
(1..10).each do |i|
i ** i # => 1, 4, 27, 256, 3125, 46656, 823543, 16777216,

Hi there.
When you preview web pages containing iframes that drag in
information from the web, the frame displays as filled with unicode
characters (instead of the programmed content).
You can see this by viewing this email in textmate (cntrl-cmd-E).
Compare that to what you get if you view the email in safari (you
can't just view, as it will have a .mail extension - reveal in finder
and toggle this to html then double click.

Last week I posted about a little tool I made to allow editing of SQL
data within textmate.
I've turned this program into a bundle, which you can download here:
http://vivified.net/files/downloads/SQLEdit-bundle-09.zip
See the help command for more information.
It seems to require Ruby 1.8.4, why this is I'm not sure yet. I'm
very much a ruby newbie.
Also, I can't seem to get rid of the HTML output window as I need the
edit process to be run in a separate
window from the main textmate window (otherwise it freezes and I
can't load anything into it). Is there a
way to spawn a new background process, and then end my initial
textmate command process?
Anyway, I'd love to hear if anyone finds this useful. I myself use it
to edit my Textpattern site's templates,
as they are all stored inside the database.
Cheers,
Bastiaan
Just to give back a little, I made a change to the Tidy command in the
HTML bundle (actually, made a new bundle and copied code and changed
it.)
When running the stock Tidy HTML command on an HTML document that was
created by saving a Microsoft Word document as HTML, it completely
deletes the contents document! In my duplicate of the Tidy command, I
added an option for Tidy to know it's dealing with a Word document.
I added: --word-2000 yes to the tidy command in the bundle. The
first few lines now are:
"${TM_TIDY:-tidy}" -f /dev/null -iq -utf8 -asxhtml -wrap 0 --tab-size
$TM_TAB_SIZE --word-2000 yes --indent-spaces $TM_TAB_SIZE
${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:+--show-body-only yes}|\
Now it cleans all of the extra MS junk that's added to a document.
There's still a little clean up to do (it doesn't delete the
<o:p></o:p> useless tags, but that's easy to do.)
Hope this helps someone!

Hi,
I have created a few commands that are analogous to the Subversion
commands which diff against a revision, but instead of generating a
diff output, the result is sent to FileMerge for viewing, which IMHO
is a whole lot easier to read.
The commands look like this:
-------------
require_cmd "${TM_SVN:=svn}" "If you have installed svn, then you
need to either update your <tt>PATH</tt> or set the <tt>TM_SVN</tt>
shell variable (e.g. in Preferences / Advanced)"
require_cmd opendiff "You must install the Apple developer tools to
run FileMerge."
"$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/bin/filemerge.sh" BASE "$TM_FILEPATH"
-------------
filemerge.sh looks like this:
-------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# $1 = svn revision
# $2 = full path to file ($TM_FILEPATH)
# First see if the file is under svn control
FILE=`basename "$2"`
INFO_LINES=`svn info 2>&1 > /dev/null | wc -l`
if [ $INFO_LINES -eq 2 ]; then
echo "The current file is not under subversion control"
exit 206
fi
SIZE=`svn diff -r $1 "$2" | wc -m`
if [ $SIZE -eq 0 ]; then
echo "No difference"
exit 206
fi
INODE=`stat -f "%i" "$2"`
TMPPATH="/tmp/tm-opendiff-$INODE.tmp"
svn cat -r $1 "$2" > "$TMPPATH"
opendiff "$TMPPATH" "$2"
-----------
To create a command for a different revision, change BASE in the
command to something else (e.g. HEAD or PREV).

Hi all,
Sorry for this - it's probably something very obvious that I'm
missing - it might be a default Mac feature that I'm not aware of.
Here's the situation...
I want to check a file into subversion. I hit Shift+Control+a and
select Commit. I enter my comment in the Summary of changes panel.
Now I want to 'hit' the Commit button without my hands leaving the
keyboard (i.e. not using the mouse). I've tried every key combo I can
think of, but I couldn't find one. Anyone?
P.S. Allan, I absolutely _love_ TextMate. I would buy a Mac just to
use this program.
Carpe viam,
Mike

I would be very very very very happy if there was a way to have a
TextMate textview totally replace the Xcode editor. I'm sure others
have asked for this, but searching through the list was painful on my
slow-ass internet connection, so I make the request here.
The idea is that you could write a SIMBL wrapper or an Xcode plugin
wrapper (the API, though private, has been documented) around a
subclass of the Xcode TextView (a dump of the framework - used to be
called PBX.framework or some such would garner the class) and then
basically do a poseAs.
I, for one, would certainly be willing to pay for this feature. That
is, I already own TM, and I would happily buy another license for
this product for $40. What are the odds, difficulties, etc of this?

When I try to execute a SVN command I get this error:
/bin/bash: line 1: require_cmd: command not found
Then most of the commands work fine except for svn status that gives no output.
Any clue? I already checked the various enviroment variables but
everything seems ok.
(I am using TextMate 1.5.1 (961) on Mac OS X 10.4.6.)
I see in the archives that Ke Han asked for a "bracket matching
feature" on 8th March (http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/
2006-March/008927.html) wherein a user could double-click on a
bracket to select the enclosing content (ala BBEdit) but that the
only way to reproduce this behaviour is via the shift-cmd B "Select
Enclosing Brackets" command.
Is there any way for me to implement this behaviour as I would
greatly appreciate being able to select the contents of an entire
bracket so easily? If not, is there any chance of it appearing in a
future release of TextMate? My main use would be to quickly identify
where the closing (or opening) bracket for some code lies.
On another note, I have noticed what I believe is a bug when shifting
lines left and right:
Shifting a line to the left moves the cursor one character to the
right and shifting a line to the right shifts the cursor one
character to the left when I expected the cursor to remain relatively
stationary. More noticeably, this means that if the cursor was at the
end of the line and the user shifts left, the cursor goes to the next
line.
Thanks in advance,

How does one find the key string value for a key? For instance F3. I
found some unicode codes here:
http://hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/Cocoa%20Text%20System.html
and also this little app that tells you various codes here:
http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=keycodes
This program, for ctrl-escape, gave me:
Unicode: 27 / 0x1b
Keys: ^Escape
Key Code: 53 / 0x35
Modifiers: 262401 / 0x40101
And for F3 gave me:
Unicode: 63238 / 0xf706
Keys: F3
Key Code: 99 / 0x63
Modifiers: 8388864 / 0x800100
Are any of these numbers the right thing? I'm worried because I am
not seeing \033 in either of these entries.

Hi,
A newbie question. Is there any way to choose from keyboards without
arrow keys when I see multiple options.
For example, as in the Manual "5.1.2 Tab Trriggers", in CSS if I type
list and hit tab, I see 8 options. I wanna pick one up without using
arrow keys and a mouse.
Sorry if this is documented in the manual. Thanks for your attention.
Once I found in the Wiki a tip to let TextMate auto add * in C
comments. That is to say when I press return
it goes from
/*
* this is a comment...
ro
/*
* this is a comment...
*
Unfortunately I'm not able to find it anymore.
This was just a "basic" question, since manually adding * and
spaces (tab is "rigid" it adds a fixed number of spaces, it does not
seem to put the "right" number, that is to say the number that is
needed to align with the above content).
A more advanced question is: could a "Doxygen" mode be done?
Is someone doing it?
I suppose it is possible, since it should behave quite like the css
mode inside the HTML mode or something like that?

... how I stopped worrying and learned to love absolute paths.
Hey all, new (<24hrs) TextMate user, and as a recovering emacs/Alpha
user, I am *LOVING* this thing. I have hopes for one use of the
Projects that I can't seem to get working, and my investigations make
me think that I'm just trying to abuse the poor things more than
they're intended to be.
Scenario:
I have a large (stable) code base that I'm working with, and am
doing a number of investigations into the code to figure out how the
bloody thing works. It occurred to me that I might be able to use
Projects as a way of tracking these investigations:
1) Drop top folder of source repository on TextMate.
2) Start digging through code, leaving windows open as tabs.
3) When I'm done, I have a list from left to right of the files I
ended up looking at, and the last place I looked in them.
4) Save the project with an appropriate name related to the *topic*
"DataFileSearching.tmproj" for example.
5) At later date, when I need to revisit the investigation, I have
breadcrumbs of where I went, what I looked at, etc. I also have a
timestamp on the Project file of the last time it was worked on. (I
considered using Groups in a Project, but that doesn't give me a
workset, or a timestamp.)
Now the problem... if I move the Project file, it breaks all the
folder references. My first thought was that after step 1, but
before I open any files, I just needed to select the top level in the
Project, Get Info, and then check Save as Absolute Path. I peeked
into the .tmproj file, and yup, a nice absolute path was created for
me. Moving the Project file resulted in it still being able to find
the root of the source tree. Problem one down.
Now for the second problem... if any files are open, and I save the
Project, *those* paths are *NOT* saved as absolute, and instead are
relative to where the .tmproj file resides. If I move the file, I
lose all my breadcrumbs. Bummer.
So this boils down to: am I missing something, or is this a bug to
file?

There is not, no. But a solution will appear, and is conceptually
rather simple IMO.
Currently the scope selector is disabled for language grammars, now
imagine it wasn’t, and that selector decided where to inject the
grammar!
That would allow to tear out the PHP, Ruby, and Smarty handling of
the HTML grammar, and instead have that with the language. Likewise
it allows the mentioned FIXME/TODO grammar to be in the TODO bundle,
and be injected based on a scope selector -- disabling the TODO
bundle would then disable this injection automatically.
There is a scope addition which will make this more powerful, namely
exposing arbitrary file attributes in the scope (which scope
selectors can then target), that way, the Java bundle can inject <%
java %> support to HTML files only when the file type attribute is
‘jsp’, and the Subversion bundle can inject the various svn keywords
only when the SCM attribute is ‘svn’.
> Probably I should ask this question on the mailing list, should I?
I cc’ed the mailing list, seeing how others probably would enjoy
reading my reply to this (though I think I have hinted at this
earlier, maybe only on IRC).
I hope to have the file attributes exposed in the scope already in
2.0 (this will then also allow all SCM bundles to use the same key
equivalents), but grammar injection is probably at earlist 2.1 or so…
the technical challenge isn’t that big, but I would also need to
extend scope selectors to allow an injection to stop after a given
depth, so to speak -- and I also need to only focus on one thing at a
time, to actually get anything done :)

Is the functionality of Reformat Paragraph controlled by a bundle?
Specifically, the way it autoindents lines after a * 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
I'd like this auto-indenting to occur after a - too.
Q
Hi.
My first post. Since I haven't received any messages from the list yet
(just signed up), I didn't know whether I had to prepend something
like [Textmate] to the Subject line, so I didn't.
I would like to to the delete the current line using Shift + Delete
First Attempt... Macro
Jump to beginning of current line, hit CTRL+K, hit back-delete, press down
This worked OK for a while, but I ran into probems when trying to
delete blank lines, and the carat position is in a less than desirable
place
2nd Attempt... Command
Got pretty far with this one. I read in the entire document into an
array, sliced the line, and set the output to replace the document.
However, couldn't place the carat position anywhere. I believe you can
only define the carat position when inserting as a snippet, not
replacing the document.
Of course, there may be an even easier way to do this, but I don't know it.
Hi,
I don't like pyunit, so use py.test instead. It was really simple to
wire py.test into the Python bundle, but it was also really ugly
using the "Text Window."
Based on some feedback from the IRC channel, and the excellent
example of PyMate, I cobbled together PyTestMate which allows you to
run py.test unit tests directly from within TextMate, and get lovely
formated results from those tests.
It's still a work in progress, but it does work quite well, in fact,
the unit tests for PyTestMate were all written using PyTestMate.
If you'd be interested in taking a look at it please let me know and
I'll forward you the code.

I'm new to TextMate and can't figure out how to change the width of indentation.
It's currently 4 and I'd like it to be 2. How's it done?
Also, how can I get TM to insert spaces rather than tabs?
Thanks,
Joe
So I bounced this idea off of Soryu and it seems this hasn't been
discussed much. What if you could add multiple carets to the current
document by command-clicking? I imaging this to work in a way almost
identical to that of the current snippet mechanism. For example:
choose three caret locations, start typing, and in each location your
text will show up. Press tab and the caret will focus in on the
second of the two locations, highlighting the newly typed text (if
any). Tab again and it moves to the third.
It would also be ideal to be able to highlight multiple selections in
the same way--kind of like a powerful replace mechanism. Command-
click and select three words in the document, then type one new word,
and incrementally, all three words change to the new one.
Has this been discussed before? It seems plausible given the
powerful way we can already "insert as snippet" to the document.
Hi,
In my FileMerge bundle support script (Support/bin/filemerge.sh) I
call opendiff. If FileMerge is not already open, 2 seconds after it
launches TextMate displays the spinning beachball. Quitting FileMerge
makes the beachball go away.
I have tried using & to execute opendiff as a background process, but
that didn't help. Any ideas?

Hi,
I've been using the bundles from SVN for some time, but have only
just noticed the snippets for django (slow, I know). I've noticed
that the django bundle seems to have syntax for the magic-removal
branch of django. Do the creators of this bundle (Wilson Miner and
Paul Bissex, I believe), have an older bundle which is relevant for
django 0.91? It would be very useful for me (and perhaps others) to
have this.

My switch/case blocks (in Java, for example) normally look something
like this:
switch (foo)
{
case A:
bar();
break;
default:
baz();
}
Note how the lines after "case" and "default" are indented. (They're
not flush with the line above.) I believe this is a pretty standard
formatting convention.
However, it seems that TextMate doesn't know about this convention.
If, for example, you were to type the above snippet, typing "case A:"
and then hitting Return puts the cursor flush with the line above,
rather than indented. Likewise, if you were to take the above
snippet, copy some random text (that has a different indentation),
then paste it between the "case A" and "bar" lines, TextMate's smart-
indent feature makes the pasted text flush with "case A", rather than
indented.
Considering that TextMate is smart about indentation in many other
ways (such as when you type "{" and then hit Return), I was hoping it
could be smart about indenting switch/case blocks, too. Is that
possible? Perhaps there is something I could add to the language
definition? Thanks,
Trevor
Hello,
I've written a small tool that allows you to edit a specific cell (field of a row) in Textmate.
When you save the changed document in Textmate, the database is updated.
For a short clip showing it in action, and the download: http://vivified.net/journal/sqledit/
I've briefly looked into making it into a bundle, after discovering the SQL table browser,
but that has not really materialized yet. Shouldn't be that hard though.
Would anyone be interested in this as a bundle? Rather keep it separate?
Anyone think this is useful at all? :)

Hi, I have done a macro which uses a snippet and a command. The
snippet adds the line:
std::cout << "" << std::endl;
And the command checks if iostream is included (using scopeHandler)
and if not it includes it.
For this to work I have to first run the command and after that
insert the snippet. The problem is that if the command inserts the
#include <iostream> , the caret moves to the previous line, inserting
the snippet there.
I have tried with this line at the end of the command (which is in
Ruby):
`/usr/local/bin/mate "$TM_FILEPATH" -l $CARET'`
but it makes TextMate freeze.
Anyone knows how to do this?

How does TextMate determine if a particular bundle is applicable to the

Hi,
I've noticed that the TextMate Ruby bundle doesn't recognize .rjs file
as Ruby(/Rails), and chooses Plain Text.
I found directions here:
<http://www.memerocket.com/2006/02/10/tell-textmate-about-your-rjs-templates/>
that tell how to modify the bundle to add .rjs. But I'm concerned that
doing so will interfere with doing svn updates to get the latest and
greatest bundle updates.
Is there any plan on adding this to the official Ruby bundle?
Thanks!

I was just watching Allan's latest screencast and wanted to add
support for some of the techniques used in block comments. However,
I noticed that the Javadoc blocks are scoped with
comment.documentation.java. I probably created it that way, but it
seems like it should really be "comment.block.documentation.java".
/*
* this is a block comment
*/
/**
* this is a javadoc block comment
*/
I could scope the snippets for comment.block and
comment.documentation, but I still think the latter should extend
from the former. Is this the desired scope for those types of doc
comments, or was this overlooked?

>[CHANGED] The scope of the caret is now that of the character to the

I have a snippet that inserts a '_' in 'variable.other.php' scopes with
the spacebar. However, now that the scope is that which is to the right
of the caret, it doesn't work!
Shouldn't the current scope be set to "that text which is currently
being typed?" Either way, maybe you setup a pseudo selector to specify
which side of the caret to use, for example:
variable.other.php<
-variable.other.php
variable.other.php[left]
... for left side of caret, and ...
variable.other.php>
+variable.other.php
variable.other.php[right]
...for the right side?

Dear all,
I've recently switched to using mutt to handle my mail, which was getting a
bit out of hand.
As a result, I now use TextMate when writing emails and it occurred to me
that it would be lovely if TM supported format=flowed text.
The basic idea is this: instead of the horrible quoted mess that often
results in long threads, where some lines miss the quoting etc etc.
A full description can be found at http://joeclark.org/ffaq.html, and
technical details at http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1625hq.html and
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt
My question is this: would it be feasible to implement this in TM, either in
the core or as a plugin, so that f=f text can be displayed, rewrapped and
reflowed? I suppose since the format=flowed headers come within the text of
the document, it would make more sense if it were a plugin, to be switched
on and off at will.
Anyone have any comments/suggestions?
Regards,
Nick
i am a relatively new user of Textmate, and have it installed on 2
machines...for some reason, i can use 'command+/' to toggle comments on one
machine, and not the other...i suspect i may have messed it up with an edit
or addition i made in the bundle editor...how can i add this functionality
back?..thanks for any help....
Hi
I searched the archives but didn't see a good answer to this. Is
there a way to map auto-completion from ESC to something a bit more
ergonomically friendly?
thanks,

I code in the K&R style. "the first opening brace on the same line as
control statement"
codeCodeCode {
Code...
}
My co-worker uses BSD/Allman style "the brace associated with a
control statement on the next line, indented to the same level as the
control statement"
codeCodeCode
{
Code...
}
We both have extremely strong feelings about our style. I have
decided to be diplomatic and use his style.
I want to be able to fold on the line before the opening brace "{" .
But I haven't been able to come up with a foldingStartMarker that
works for it.
My guess is that the foldingMarkers are stuck on single line mode.
Can anyone help? This is really starting to annoy me.

Hi,
I have the following rule for a block comment:
{ name = 'comment.block.active4d';
begin = '/\*';
end = '\*/';
patterns = ( { include = '#fusedoc'; } );
}
Within a block comment, the fusedoc rule looks for some xml:
fusedoc =
{ begin = '^\s*<fusedoc ';
end = '^\s*</fusedoc>';
patterns = ( { include = 'text.xml'; } );
}
The problem is that I want the text.xml language parser to parse the
line on which '<fusedoc ' is found. However, it seems that it will
only parse the lines between the begin and end lines.
Is there any way to have the first and last lines of the fusedoc rule
be parsed by text.xml?

I'm using TextMate to keep my daily log book - I have a
'Journal' template, language and snippets and it all works
very nicely.
What I'd really like is that when I create a new file from
the template, it immediately gets a filename based on
the date - eg. 060418.txt - so I don't have to enter that
manually when I go to save it.
The template creates the new file in the usual way, by
copying some standard contents to $TM_NEW_FILE.
I was hoping that I might then be able to call osascript
and do something like
tell application "TextMate" to save the document
of front window in "060418.txt"
but it doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions most welcome!
Hello everyone. I'm trying TextMate out and so far I'm very impressed.
But today I noticed this problem. Apologies if it's well known already:
When I am in overwrite mode (Cmd-Opt-O) and press an opening bracket,
TextMate avoids adding the closing bracket if it would overwrite a non-space
character. This is rather clever. However, when it decides there _is_ space
to add the closing bracket, it mistakenly *inserts* it rather than
overwriting. It kind of defeats the point of overwrite mode, and it's extra
annoying because you have to leave overwrite mode to delete the extra
character again!
Actually adding closing backets in overwrite mode is hardly ever useful,
because if you keep typing you immediately overwrite the closing bracket. My
suggestion would be for TextMate generated the closing bracket but allowed
you to keep typing and "pushed" the bracket to the right (until it reached a
non-space character or you typed the matching bracket). Of course the
pushing behaviour would only be right when you have just typed the opening
bracket.

I promised I'd be back!
I'm working on a bundle for Erlang [1], a nice functional language
that focuses on multithreading and distributed programming. It's
mainly used in embedded programming of telephony equipment, but you
might have heard of ejabberd (a Jabber server written in — guess what
— Erlang). this is a first rough draft -- there's only a basic syntax
description. when it gets good enough I'll add it to the repository,
if you wish.
in order to improve it, I need some help on automated indentation.
this is a typical (small) Erlang module:
> -module(sample).
> -export([fact/1]).
>
> fact(0) ->
> 1;
> fact(N) ->
> N * fact(N - 1).
I'd like to increase indentation of the next line if the current line
ends with -> and decrease indentation of the next line if the line
ends with "." or ";". still, I wasn't able to tweak the prefs in
order to achieve this... (I tried and I tried, man, but I just wasn't
up to the task.) help? help?!? HEEEEEELP! ;)
ciao,
Domenico

Hi,
If I'm not mistaken the pattern match for the second meta.tag.xml
rule is missing _ as a valid character for the attribute name. The
correct match should be:
match = ' (?:([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+):)?([_a-zA-Z-]+)'

How does TextMate determine if a particular bundle is applicable to the
files I'm editing? I can insert snippets that are in the Ruby bundle, but
the Rails bundle snippets never expand when I hit tab.
Thanks,
Justin
I'm using TextMate a lot these days to write code for R and I'd like
to see if there's a way to make an improvement.
The existing command in the R bundle works fine as long as I'm
sending just a handful of lines to the R application, but TextMate
gives me the beach ball for as much as a minute when I send lots of
code over, and then suddenly dumps all the code into R. For
reference, here's the short R command:
osascript -e 'tell application "R" to activate' -e "tell application
\"R\" to cmd \"${TM_SELECTED_TEXT//\"/\\\"}\""
I'm guessing that TM itself doesn't have a problem with the amount of
text, and that the bottleneck is in the applescript. Is there any way
to speed up how this is done in the event of a large set of commands?
For example, could the command be split into an array and run line-by-
line? (Would this result in an increase in speed? I have no idea --
just thinking out loud.)
Thanks for suggestions. Cheers-
-Alan
Hi All
Version 1.5.1 (948) has been crashing for the past few days. i'm not
sure if its textmate or OS X as i updated both sometime during the week.
the crash seems to happen when i press "tab" in the find&replace window,
but not all the time.

Apologies in advance if the answer to my query is blindingly
obvious---I am a UNIX newbie.
I am trying to implement Fletcher Penney's variant of Markdown,
MultiMarkdown (http://fletcher.freeshell.org/wiki/MultiMarkdown), as
a TextMate bundle. The basic idea is to convert a Markdown document
into a full xhtml document and then to use xslt to convert it into
different formats such as LaTeX.
I have written TextMate commands for each step of the process, and it
all works fine, but I would also like to add commands that string
these steps together. But there is a problem. For example, while the
following two TextMate commands work:
Save: Nothing
Command(s): #!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/MultiMarkdown.pl "$TM_FILEPATH"
Input: None
Output: Create New Document
Save: Nothing
Command(s): #!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/xsltproc -nonet -novalid /usr/local/bin/xhtml2article.xslt
"$TM_FILEPATH"
Input: None
Output: Create New Document
the following fails---it generates an empty file:
Save: Nothing
Command(s): #!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/MultiMarkdown.pl "$TM_FILEPATH" | /usr/bin/xsltproc -
nonet -novalid /usr/local/bin/xhtml2article.xslt
Input: None
Output: Create New Document
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
All the best, Mark

Hi there!,
I have some automatically generated text files with very loooong lines (+4000
characters). When editing those files in TextMate the horizontal scrolling
stops at column 625.
Is this a bug? a feature? a customizable setting?
Thanks!,

No no no no, no background on the tags like that!
(which in "let's not make enemies"-speak translates to, I don't
exactly fancy the new background colour on the html-tags)

I thought I'd share this useful transformation. It replaces all - or _
with a space and makes the first character uppercase.
<label for="${1:some_field}"><?php echo _("${3:${1/(^[^-_]+)?([-_]+)?/(?
1:\u$1)(?2: )/g}}"); ?></label>
...would generate something like...
<label for="funky_monkey"><?php echo _("Funky monkey"); ?></label>
Q
Sweet. I couldn't get it to work exactly as described (I had lots of
problems with getting the scope of the caret right), but with some wrangling
- and making sure that certain rules came in the right order - it seems to
be working. I was even able to get "smart deletion" (where backspace deletes
both your smart quotes) with a similar trick.
rock!

Yeah, but that's a bit too roundabout for my taste ;)
Seriously, I could in theory do this, but to get the same effect I'd
have to copy the text to the clipboard, then select all, then run the
command, and I'd have to change the command to use TM_CLIPBOARD_TEXT
instead of TM_SELECTED_TEXT. I may get around to it at some point,
but unless this feature gets pushed to 2.0, I can wait for a more
elegant solution.
Don't want to sound like a whiner, but that's my excuse FWIW.

I recently purchased Circus Ponies Notebook software to help me stay
more organized (it rocks by the way). I want to be able to keep a
'notebook' in each of my project directories. The problem is that a
'notebook' doesn't appear as a regular file in the TM drawer -- it
appears as a directory full of my notebook contents. The reason why
that's a problem is because it means I can't just double-click the
notebook to open it in circus ponies software. Instead I have to go
find it in the Finder, and launch it from there.
Anyway to fix this?
Also, is anyone else using CP Notebook for project documentation?

Hi all,
Watch out if you update to the latest TextMate bundles and themes (via svn)
- revision 3030. The Eiffel bundle includes a theme that has the same UUID
in it as the MacClassic theme (most likely the author copied the theme and
changed the elements, but didn't change the UUID.)
This results in the Mac Classic theme not appearing in the Theme menu in the
preferences. I went into the file itself and changed one digit of the UUID,
and now both appear in the menu.
Just a heads up! Hopefully the author is on this list and will see and
correct it.

I'm trying to create a snippet that will create the following:
list: foo / bar / foo
foo does:
foo does not:
bar does:
bar does not:
foo does:
foo does not:
that automatically builds itself based on the number of items in the
slash-separated list ...with tab-stops after all the items.
What I've come up with is:
$1
${1/\/\s*/\n/g}
Which can do this:
foo / bar / foo
foo
bar
foo
but not much else. So I ask you, whose kung-fu is much better than mine.
P.S. - Can you have a transforming snippet that inserts tab-stops for
you? I don't think I've seen that anywhere. That would be awesome.
Yeah I have little idea of how the syntax works - I just tried to make it
look decent and I wasn't sure how important it would be to separate scopes
out for such a little language. Thanks for your bundle - I added some stuff
and made a bunch of changes to mine on the strength and maybe it's a little
better now. I imagine it's still pretty off though - I'd welcome some input
from someone that knows their languagey stuff.
I need to figure out how to scope functions() that have other functions
inside them, my first regex was not good at all. And I wish I could get %"
to be completed as Smart Typing Pairs, but it seems you can only have one
character in them :(
Thanks for that. It's good to see that others use TextMate and remind.

I know some form of chunky undo (as opposed to the current char-by-char
undo) is on the to-do list (yaay) and and I had a thought about it:
Might it makes sense to offer both, in an attempt to get the best of
both worlds? For instance one could type cmd-Z to get chunky undo, then
cmd-option-Z to get char-by-char. Basically this lets one make big jumps
to get to approximately the right spot, then inch along to get to the
precise spot.
An undo history could be even faster to navigate, but that sounds like a
much more complicated programming problem. I've seen a history in at
least one CAD program, but never a text editor.

Hi,
I'm currently extending the JavaScript and the "Prototype &
Scriptaculous" bundles [1] but noticed one thing. When a language has
a "sub scope" like in this case (since prototype is a JavaScript
framework, the parent scope is JavaScript") shouldn't the scopeName
be 'source.js.prototype' instead of 'source.prototype.js'?
Otherwise the reglar JavaScript bundle items wouldn't work, would
they? See the attached plist file,
Ciao

As some of you probably know, since revision 948, TextMate supports
the ability to have the entire document together with all the scope
information as input for command. This is done by setting a key
"inputFormat" with value "xml" into the plist file for the command,
and setting the input to the command to be the entire document. This
will input the document in a "pseudo-xml" format, of the type:
<scopename>text</scopename>, with nestings etc.
The ScopeHandler class is a Ruby class I just put together that
offers you an easy interface to this “xml”-style input. I've set up a
home page for this class with a couple of descriptions and examples
here:
http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/afterthought/the-scopehandler-class/
The actual file can be found here:
http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/uploads/scopeHandler.rb
Use at your own risk. Let me know if you do. Feel free to suggest
additions/corrections/more examples/ideas for use.

I'm not groking the current implementation of stracc in the objc bundle.
- (NSString *)${1:thing}
{
return ${2:f${1/(.)(.*)/\U$1\E$2/}};
}
- (void)set${3:${1/(.)(.*)/\U$1\E$2/}}:(NSString *) $1
{
NSString * old${3:Thing} = ${2:fThing};
$2 = [${1:thing} copy];
[old${3:Thing} release];
}
Clearly fThing is not defined so return fThing makes no sense in a
getter accessor method. Nor does instantiating another string object
in the setter method.
A "working" objc stracc:
- (NSString *)${1:thing}
{
return ${2:${1/(.)(.*)/$1\E$2/}};
}
- (void)set${3:${1/(.)(.*)/\U$1\E$2/}}:(NSString *)${4:a$3}
{
$4 = [$4 copy];
[$1 release];
$1 = $4;
}
[This models the string accessor implementation defined in
Hillegass ... if it's not correct, maybe someone should tell Aaron.]
Refactoring and/or explanation as to the current defined stracc is
welcome/encouraged.

Makes perfect sense.
By default XSL bundle doesn't threat "-" as word character, which impairs
auto-complete feature (instead of getting "apply-tempaltes" I have to
autocomplete "apply", add hyphen and choose between "template" and
"templates").
Is it possible to have "-" as word character for XSL only? I'm using other
languages at the same time, so I don't want to change prefs back and forth.

It's funny how just a one line comment about a new version of the app
can break almost every scope you've got....
> [CHANGED] The scope of the caret is now that of the
> character to the right of the caret, rather than that on
> the left side.
Just a heads up to all you bundle developers, check your scopes to
make sure this doesn't effect you. Particularly if you have macros or
snippets that only take effect at the end of a line.
^[a-z\s\.]{,15}$ ...will no longer work. Removing the "$" will fix
it (in this case).
I haven't seen anyone talking about this, but it strikes me that it
could adversely effect many people. Why has this change been enacted
(yes, I realize it's "nightly-build" only at this point. Is this a
good thing? Does this force our scope selectors to be more precise?
Am I wrong?
Here's a strange thing. I'm using ProFont, unaliased, and the tool tips
look weird. Attached is a screen capture showing the same output as
normal window text and tool tip text. Notice spacing issues and some
characters running together ("fi" of file), neither of which are a
problem under monaco.
I understand this probably because ProFont is just a somewhat roughly
built font, but weird and relevant enough I should share.
Q
This is a more detailed explanation of how the scope selector change
in rev961 has effected me, and how it will effect you.
say you have this example:
name = 'meta.test.comment';
match = '^\s\*\s.*';
and when you press return you want to insert a newline, space, and
asterisk to continue the comment (or whatever). A common snippet.
With the change in rev961 it is now necessary for the match string to be:
name = 'meta.test.comment';
match = '^\s\*\s.*\s*';
notice the "white-space character any number of times". This may be
obvious to more experienced programmers but to someone like me I had
forgotten that the '.*' search doesn't include newline characters. And
the previous version of TextMate was forgiving in this regard.
So I guess the change is a good thing. But I foresee lots of snippets
and macros breaking in not-so-great-coded languages because of this.
Just a heads up to you guys, check your code.
Good to see Allan and others checking in lots of changes to the Ruby
bundle lately. Is there any popular support to extending folding
markers to do/end, if/else, while loops etc. like we have in most
other language bundles?

Hello list,
I thought it was annoying to edit the Lighttpd configuraton file
using the Apache syntax, so I've made a small bundle for Lighttpd.
It's available at <http://amonre.org/pub/textmate/bundles/>.
This is my first attempt at a bundle, so don't expect much. It
contains nothing more than a syntax definition so far. No macros, no
snippets, etc yet.
Let me know what you think.

copied my project files over from another computer and the project opens
fine except the bookmarks are no longer there. where is the bookmark info
stored?
thanx....
Using TextMate 1.5.1 (948), I've observed some behavior that I wasn't
expecting. Specifically, when I set the command's input to Entire
Document, my command seems to get less than the entire document on
its stdin.
I'm curious whether anyone else is seeing the same thing. Here's an
easy way to test.
Create a new command (MyCommand) with the following settings:
Save: Nothing
Command(s): cat
Input: Entire Document
Output: Create New Document.
Unless I'm missing something, this command should simply copy the
command's input, the entire document, to a new document, using the
shell "cat" command. However, the command's input seems to begin at
the character immediately following the first ) character in the
document. If there is no ) in the document, nothing is copied.
I don't know if there is something specific to my environment that
may be causing it, or if it's a bug, but this behavior wreaks havoc
with the built-in Ruby "Run Script" command (which uses cat), causing
it to overwrite saved Ruby source files with less than their full
content.

Hi all,
FWIW, I put together a bundle for remind - it's probably pretty terrible
(I'm not to clear on language.element.naming) but since no one's done it yet
I thought I'd let you guys know. It seems to work ok, I'd welcome any input
and I can throw it in your svn if you like it.

Hello all, this is my first post here, feel free to point any mistake.
So… I installed Allan's Theme Builder bundle but it always spit the
same error message :
/tmp/temp_textmate.Z1KGTa:3:in `require': No such file to load -- set
(LoadError)
from /tmp/temp_textmate.Z1KGTa:3
Any idea what's causing this problem? Is it in TM or in Ruby?
My specs:
PM G5 2x1.8GHz
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Textmate 1.5.1 (v948)
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin7.8.0]
Thanks, Romain.
I am using TextMate Version 1.5.1 (961). Just noticed that a number
of built in keybindings no longer work. None of keybindings for
Text:Convert:to Uppercase, to Lowercase, etc. work (though selecting
the commands from the menu does). Autocompletion doesn't work either. :(
Any ideas about how to diagnose what is going on?
Thanks in advance. All the best, Mark

As far as I'm aware there isn't any way of optionally ignoring the
additional word characters specified in
Preferences when trying to select words.
I'm often wanting to copy, change or set search selection, part of a
variable name which doesn't include a dash, underscore, etc., though
most of the time I do want it to include those elements as part of a
single word.
One solution would be to use a modifier key: So, in my world, Cmd-Opt-
Shift + Right or Left arrow would ignore the additional word
characters and Cmd-Opt double-click and Cmd-Ctrl W would also work
the same way (there may be better modifiers!)
The alternative would be to toggle the additional word characters
option in the Edit menu, which would have the downside of not
allowing you to dynamically change your specification in mid-
selection, but may be simpler to implement.
I've wanted this for a long time and am surprised it hasn't been
suggested before (as far as I can remember) which probably means a)
that the functionality is there and I just haven't figured out how to
open my eyes yet, or b) it's a really crap idea.
Any thoughts?

I always download themes with safari, holding down option and
clicking, and it saves it with an appended .txt extension. Sure, I
can go in and rename it, but it's frustrating :)
Any thoughts.

Duane,
since most people prolly manage their rails projects with subversion,
do you think you could add an --svn option for the Rails generators?
I guess, this little edit in generator.rb should do the job by simply
applying the --svn flag for all projects under subversion (testing
for .svn folder in the app root):
svn_option = File.exist?("#{rails_root}/.svn") ? "--svn" : ""
command = "\"script/generate\" #{generators[choice].name} #
{svn_option} #{name} #{options}"
Thanks,
Sebastian
Hi all,
Is anyone else seeing this?
$ pwd
/Library/Application Support/TextMate
$ svn update
svn: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:
svn: Bundles/CAKE.tmbundle/Commands/Paste Line : Selection to IRC?
\226?\128?\166 (CakePHP Paste).plist
$
Any idea what's causing this?
Carpe viam,

Hi,
In html preview mode, how do you force the preview window to update elements
called by the document? (images .css files etc.)
In Safari, I would use cmd-R to refresh the window.
It would be nice if Textmate asked webkit to do a deep flush when you
clicked the refresh icon with a modifier key down.

Textmate hint of the day: cntrl-S gives you an incremental search (like / in
Firefox, or Safari if you install acid-search)
Hi,
After a lot of reading the documentation on textmate language
bundles, grammar and scopes and regular expressions, I (just|finally)
began making my own bundle for the cheetah templating language. My
first post on this list is the following question:
How can I name the scope from when I include an other language in my
language bundle?
To explain this a bit:
My quest comes forth out of an esthetic desire to color the
background of embedded html in the cheetah template, just like the
"Embedded source" scope 'text source, string.unquoted' can colorize
the embedded javascript or css in a html document.
In my cheetah language grammar I have a pattern:
{ name = 'source.embedded.html';
include = 'text.html.basic';
},
But in the document, the scope (ctrl shft P) just says
"source.cheetah", or "source.cheetah meta.tag.structure.any.html"
when my caret is within a html tag. I don't see anything of that name
'source.embedded.html' reflected in the scope.
Is it possible to give an embedded (or included) language an extra
scope layer name, so I can use that in a theme?
I tried 'source.cheetah source.embedded.html' but that didn't do
anything. For now I use 'source.cheetah meta', but that means I am
missing a lot of non-cheetah-html stuff, like html comments, or (in
html) embedded css or javascript.
I hope that my question is somewhat clear.
thnx
dirk

Enrico, if you want to look at adding or updating the doxgen bundle let me
know. I added it as a starting point, but have no feeling of ownership if
you want to take it over or extend it together let me know.
I use it very lightly and would love to see it get better.

Uh-oh!
As recommended, I've svn co'ed the bundles into my ~/Library TM
directory in anticipation of using svn to merge updates into my custom
stuff (bundle items).
However, I already *have* tons of custom stuff, so I tried merging my
old stuff into the svn working directory using rsync -au. I followed
this with some diff-ing to merge the language files and other conflicts.
The only stuff I didn't merge were all the UUIDs.
And as you can guess, some of my old stuff has reverted back to the
originals. Some stuff isn't showing up in the bundle editor (for
example, both files exist: "PHP if( ).plist" and "if .. (if).plist", but
the latter file is not available.
Any suggestions how to cleanly merge my old stuff into the svn co? Any
way to completely reset all UUIDs? (I've already tried deleting the
bundle Info.plist files, but the missing stuff doesn't appear...just
everything goes out of order.)

Allan,
I am using "Edit in Textmate" for most of my emails now, but I am
finding out that there are some caveats that will kill your email
message; namely switching between windows and/or applications too
often results in your text being lost and not placed back into the
email when you close the TxtMte-Window. Right now I am placing the
email message into the clipboard as a backup, but clearly there is
something odd here ;)

#Wishlist
I would love to have a workflow like this:
* extract a listing of scopes from a bundle
* create a set of styles
* and then have a listing with styles on the left, scopes on the
right with some form of connectors between them to assogn styles OR
definitely some way to see which scopes have which styles applied
* (and possibly some way to easily change a *whole theme's colors*:
like convert all R values to G values… ;))
A thing I have noticed during my attempts to get some more specific
styling for my LaTeX stuff is that there are so many themes out now,
and so many bundles it is almost impossible to create a theme that
*really* applies to all languages. What would be very useful to try
and play with themes would be some way to assign relationships
between scope selectors for themes to substitute missing elements.
This would look like some list that a user or a bundle could provide
which says:
“if your theme does NOT know about meta.scope.obscure then please
have it handled like meta.scope.common, as these are related or at
least the style markup would indicate a similar importance.”
Possibly add some way of indicating those *placeholder* assignments
in the theme editor by creating blanks that could be filled in or so.
(This would in a way be similar to a situation where bundles do not
use their own but a limited namespace. But would also allow for a
much more sophisticated access for styling as well as for mixed
language situations or for purely aesthetic reasons [like in
Brilliance Black where you have different color “mini-themes” for
different bundles/languages]).
Am I still making sense?
Dan
PS: I do realize this will end up very low on the “wishlist” ;)
From one of today's TextMate Blog entries:
"By default, pressing ⌃H on a tag name will show the W3C
documentation for that tag, this also works for CSS selectors, PHP/
Ruby functions, Cocoa stuff, and outside of HTML, things for which
there is a manual page, etc.)"
Until today, I somehow never realized TextMate had this feature, and
I was happy to see it works for Java, too. At least, it's supposed
to. I can't get it to work. It seems that the command requires an
index.html file in the Java API docs directory, but on my Tiger
installation of Tiger (that is, Mac OS X 10.4 and Java 1.5/5.0),
there doesn't seem to be any index.html in that directory. There's an
index-files subdirectory, but no root index.html file. Is there
something wrong with my installation of Java?
Trevor
This Java program prints nothing when run using Compile & Run Single
File.
public class test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("<hello>");
}
}
Apparently the output is being squelched because it looks like
markup. Is there a way around this? Or is it just a bug?
Trevor
This seems like it should be obvious, but I can't work it out.
What do I set the Scope Selector to on a command I want to be available
everywhere? My first intuition is just to leave the Scope Selector field
blank, but it's not working.
I have several commands in the text bundle using apple-shift-option-P,
and one in the HTML bundle. While editing a HTML document when I hit
this key combo I only get the HTML command, not the others in the text bundle.
Hmmmm?
