SSH script

by Jeremy Wilkins

Hi, I'm trying to write a simple ssh script to scp a file onto my mac, open it in textmate, block till textmate closes, then scp the file back. I can't seem to open files with 'mate -w' via ssh though. It does work with 'open -a TextMate <myfile>' but then it doesn't block? Is there anyway to open files using 'open -a' and make it block? Thanks --- Jeremy Wilkins Ibex Internet Ltd Parkside Business Park Parkside Rd. Kendal Cumbria LA9 7EN Tel: 0845 226 8342 Fax: 08718 729374 http://www.ibexinternet.co.uk/

Highlight Parentheses Pairs

by Daniel Harple

In emacs there is an option to highlight parentheses pairs when your caret is on a parenthesis -- show-paren. Can a similar effect be achieved in TextMate? Right now when you move over a parenthesis the matching one is highlighted very quickly and then goes back to normal, I usually miss it. -- Daniel

"Go To File" window always empty

by Garrett Coakley

Hello, Up until now I've never made any use of the "Go To File" command, the amount of files I've been working with in the past hasn't warranted it, but for my current project (400+ files) it would seem to be a better way of navigating through the source tree. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. When I bring up the window with Cmd-T and start to type the name of a file I know exists within the project I'm not getting anything returned at all, the window is empty. The draw at the bottom of the window has "*" in the Show field and "dict, plist, strings" in the Hide field, which should be the default values as far as I remember. No errors are being logged by the console and I'm not finding any pointers for a Google search on 'textmate "go to file" problem'. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to diagnose or fix this?

Keyboard shortcuts / Services

by Daniel Käsmayr

Dear folks, I have just found the following commands in the "Text" menu: "shift left" apple-[ "indent line" apple-opt-[ I am wondering how I can get to these commands on my german keyboard i.e. I already need to press alt-5 to get [ -- hence no chance to additionally modify any of those commands with alt. Is there any way to change the shortcuts? Also for some reason I cannot use apple-{ (nothing happens, even though I should at least get a service to enter the current date). Apple-} works as intended (i.e. as a shortcut for a LaTeX command and when I am not in a LaTeX-file it just enters the current date [from WordService.service]). Is there a way to enable/disable certain Services in special apps only? (What is the keyboard shortcut preference / domination order?) Daniel

Folding in LaTeX

by Daniel Käsmayr

Dear fellow LaTextmaters, I am (again) fiddling with the LaTeX bundle (seem to do that too much and write my thesis too little --- ah well). and am trying to find some way to add better folding recognition. However, I would like things to be a bit easier, maybe I am just a bit slow-minded today: Right now I am trying something similar to the HTML.bundle: foldingStartMarker = '(?x) (\\chapter\{.*\} |\\begin\{.*\} )'; foldingStopMarker = '(?x) (\%endchapter\{.*\} |\\end\{.*\} )'; Which will add folding marks to chapter headlines and custom comments that show the end of a chapter (or section, subsection etc.). Which works fine, but instead of having to type out every possibility I was hoping to do this: foldingStartMarker = '(?x) (\\(chapter|section)\{.*\} |\\begin\{.*\} )'; foldingStopMarker = '(?x) (\%end(chapter|section)\{.*\} |\\end\{.*\} )'; Works only if the indentation is correct. (Which might get annoyingly deep if this is done in depth). \chapter{chapter} \section{section} %endsection{} %endchapter{} Is there a way to get folding to recognize the foldingStopMarker as "the line before it hits a certain pattern"? So I can fold (marked with *) * \section … * \section thx, Daniel PS: btw, when editing this email in Txtmate and returning to Mail.app the indentations were all gone.

ActionScript function signature

by Dru Kepple

Hello. I'm relatively new to TextMate and new to this list. So, sorry if what I'm asking is dumb and has been covered before. I've checked the manaul macromates site, but couldn't find the answer. Hopefully this is something easy to remedy. I recently discovered the commands feature, and was playing with the ActionScript commands that ship with TextMate. I got Find in ActionScript Dictionary set up just fine; that was as easy and determing the path to the help_toc.xml and plugging it in to my shell variables (I have a vague understanding of what I did, but I'm no shell variable expert). But I can't get Show AS Function Signtare to work properly. When I try it, my cursor is in between the parentheses of the function, and I hit the key command, and tool tip appears, but the contents of the tool tip is an HTML file. It looks like it's the HTML file that would be returned from the Find in ActionScript Dictionary command, just displayed in a tool tip. In fact, if i change output to Show as HTML, I get a search results page just like Find in ActionScript Dictionary. the command is: "$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/Tools/asd.pl" It saves nothing, has no input, and outputs as show as tool tip. Scope is source.actionscript Thanks, Dru

Using QuickSilver to access TextMate's bundle menu

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, Recently I learned about QS being able to access Application Menus. This rocks when combined with the huge bundle menu that TextMate has, making it a breeze to find things you use sometimes, but keep forgetting the shortcut of. Here's how to set it up: - Launch Quicksilver, edit preferences - In the Application tab, tick "Enable advanced features" and select "Beta". - In the Catalog tab, open the Quicksilver entry and tick "Proxy Objects". - In the Triggers menu, create a new hotkey trigger for the QS command "Current Application" with the action "Show Menu Items". I use ctrl-space as hotkey for it. Now open up TextMate, open a new document, press ctrl-space and type "lor" for example, this will give you the "lorem ipsum" command. Have fun, Jeroen.

Managing change in default bundles

by Trevor Harmon

I like how TextMate seamlessly merges user bundles with the default bundles. I can add new snippets, for example, and they'll be stored (transparently) in my ~/Library folder, so that when I upgrade to a new version of TextMate, my custom snippets won't get blown away. This works great for adding things to the default bundles, but what about changing them? I know any changes I make to a default bundle will override the original, but that works well only until the next TextMate release comes out. Consider the release notes from the recent update: "Lots and lots of changes, fixes, and additions to the bundles." That means wherever I've made a change to a bundle, even small tweaks, I'll be losing all these bug fixes and enhancements that have been made in the new version. For this reason, I've been avoiding making any changes to the default bundles, but of course this prevents me from tweaking the bundles to suit my particular needs and workflow. I'm wondering how other TextMate users handle this problem. Do people track the bundle repository, merging upstream changes (and fixing conflicts) as they occur? Or is it more common simply to avoid making any changes at all, as I've been doing (reluctantly)? Trevor

Lost Command-S for Saves

by J. De Salvo

Hi, Don't know what I've done or how it happenend, but I have inexplicably lost the ability to save a file using Command-S on the keyboard. Saving a file from the menu works fine. I've tested the Command-S in other applications, and it works as expected so I'm reasonably sure it's not a dead or malfunctioning key on my keyboard. I had hoped the recent update might restore the Command-S function, but no joy. Suggestions for how to get the Command-S function back? Thanks Joe

Line wrap per bundle?

by Eric Coleman

Is it possible to have "Soft Wrap" enabled for only a specific bundle? I want to wrap text documents at 78/80 chars, and I know TxtMate doesn't have "Hard Wrap" yet (hope it gets it some day ;))... however, when I turn softwrap on, it seems to be on again until I turn it off. Anyway to avoid this? Eric Coleman

Scoping snippets for XML

by Trevor Harmon

I was wondering how to handle snippets for various XML types. For example, I'm developing some snippets for the Quotation Exchange Language [1]. Although QEL is just XML with a specific schema, its snippets are totally unique and would be useless in any other XML file. That makes me inclined to give the QEL snippets their own scope (to avoid potential naming conflicts between tag triggers). But how can this be done? It seems like I'd have to create a new language type for QEL, but I'd simply be duplicating the XML bundle -- not just for QEL but for all the XML file types I'm writing snippets for. The thought of all that redundancy bothers me; perhaps there's some way of "subclassing" the XML language type? Or is there an entirely different way to handle this kind of thing?

Selecting text until next found occurrence

by Shiran Pasternak

How could I go use keystrokes to select text from the cursor to the next (or previous) occurrence of a searched term? This would be really helpful for automating tasks, for example, in quickly hacking out macros that can operate on variable-length text fields (where a "select until next tab" would be useful -- using ^W doesn't help with URLs). I'm aware that I can get around this using find-and-replace of an entire block of text via regular expressions, but was wondering if there's something more procedural. Thanks, Shiran

Printing in textmate - hack solution

by Jeremy Wilkins

Hi All, I'm sure the printing will get improved in the future but for the minute I find it a bit limited (font size too big etc). I've setup a command in the text bundle using a2ps (you can get this from darwin ports, probably fink and other places as well). Save: Nothing Command(s): a2ps --center-title=`basename "$TM_FILEPATH"` --font-size 8 --pretty-print --columns 1 -M A4 -R --line-numbers 5 -o - - | ps2pdf14 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 - /tmp/textmate_print.pdf && open /tmp/ textmate_print.pdf Input: "Selected Text" or "Document" Output: Discard Activation: Key Equivalent - "Command P" This will create a pdf called /tmp/textmate_print.pdf, and opens it in Preview (or acroread, or whatever your default pdf viewer is). If your happy with it you can just hit Command P to print it. At the minute this prints in font size 8, but thats easy to change, it also prints in A4, if you change this you'll need to change both - M option to a2ps and the -sPAPERSIZE option to ps2pdf jebw

Help finishing Bundle command

by Ken Scott

I'm trying to add a Delete command to the Subversion bundle. I've got the basics working, but now I'm trying to make it look nice. Here's the command as it is now: require_cmd "${TM_SVN:=svn}" "If you have installed svn, then you need to either update your <tt>PATH</tt> or set the <tt>TM_SVN</tt> shell variable (e.g. in Preferences / Advanced)" rv=`CocoaDialog textbox --title "Delete from Repository" --string- output --no-newline \ --informative-text "These files will be scheduled for deletion during the next commit." \ --text "${TM_SELECTED_FILES:-$TM_FILEPATH}" --button1 "Delete" -- button2 "Cancel"` if [ "$rv" == "Delete" ]; then eval "$TM_SVN" del "${TM_SELECTED_FILES:-$TM_FILEPATH}" elif [ "$rv" == "No" ]; then exit elif [ "$rv" == "Cancel" ]; then exit fi What I want is the list of files in the CocoaDialog textbox to be newline-separated, and have the enclosing quotes removed (ideally, the project base path as well). I don't have any bash-fu to figure this out. Help please? Thanks, Ken Scott

scroll using keys

by David Eriksson

Hi, I like using key commands for scrolling / reading. That is, not just moving one line up/down, more like continuous movement vertically. Navigation -> Scroll -> Line Up/Down Question, Using this command (while holding down / key repeat), firing a shortcut makes the top-menu blink. So, when using it for continuos scrolling it feels a bit sluggish due to this. Also, when I've scrolled say 1 1/2 page, how do I center the cursor on the visible area!? Why, I'm used to this from bbedit where you have ctrl alt and command + arrows for scrolling in different speeds. Say ctrl-down = one line, ctrl-alt-down = three lines, etc. Then when you see that line you wanna edit, I use command-shift-J for moving the cursor -> "Go to center line". In bb I don't think the shortcuts for this is available in the main menu, which makes them run without the menu-blink for each key repeat. best /David

Re: latexmk options

by Daniel K�smayr

Mark, just open the LaTeX Bundle and edit the "Typeset & View" command, everything needed is there. e.g. you could include a new variable for your projects that gets used in this case and allows for more flexibility than "hard-coding" it in the bundle itself. If you think these may be useful additions to us Latextmaters, send 'em to this list as well! Dan

Enhancing the Ruby Bundle

by Sebastian Friedrich

I'd personally be very interested. I just started doing a few simple but much needed additions to the bundle as well (like folding blocks for conditionals, do's etc.), but i'd rather save the time if somebody already added the things that are needed. I think the current bundle is great in terms of lowest-common denominator, and as such it may be that people are opposed to expanding it to the point where it becomes a matter of taste and style. But i guess you could talk to the maintainer (who?) and see if he might be open to any of your additions. In any case, I (and surely others) would love to take a look at your enhanced bundle. @everybody, Is there a place where to upload alternative bundles?

Enhancing the Ruby Bundle

by James Edward Gray II

Hi all. I use TextMate for Ruby programming all day everyday (professionally). I just recently bought a new computer and am slowly migrating everything over. I wanted to rebuild my TextMate snippets and commands in the process, so I could reevaluate what I've created, fix minor annoyances I have found in usage, and improve on what I have created. I have a pretty large set of additions in my old Ruby bundle. I have tons of snippets for iterators, testing and common language constructs, a few handy commands (like switching { ... } to do ... end), and even snippets for many standard libraries (like YAML::dump/ load and an OptionParser skeleton). My questions are: 1. Is there any interest in me providing these additions publicly? 2. Would if be allowed for me to add some or all of this to the default Ruby bundle? I figure I'm going to be entering all this again anyway. It doesn't matter to me if it's just for me or for all of us. I didn't know if there is some desire to keep the default bundles pretty small or anything though. Let me know if there's interest and, if so, how best to provide it. Thanks. James Edward Gray II

Backreferences in regexp search/replace

quick redo last action

by thomas Aylott

feature request: redo last action redoes the last snippet, macro or command that you just did. I have a lot of commands and snippets and things that i only use once every so often. So I don't give them a tab completion or shortcut. Many of them I would like to use multiple times in a row. Currently, i could record a temporary macro, run the command and then rerun the temp macro. But I never remember to do that. It would be way handier to have this extra function, too. Thankyou, and goodnight everybody!

how to use unIndentedLinePattern?

The bundle is listed on the old wiki page http://wiki.macromates.com/textmate/show/Bundles102.html ,but unfortunately its link http://ianp.org/articles/textmate/OCaml.tmbundle.zip is broken. Does anybody know where I can download this package or maybe point me to another OCaml bundle with syntax highlighting? THX and sorry for my bad english, Andreas

New Beta coming soon!

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hello all, As you may have noticed, the cycle of TextMate betas has slowed down recently. When talking to Allan yesterday, I asked him about the progress of reworking TextMate's innards. He confided me that during the recent months MacroMates has been cooperating with TheCodingMonkeys working hard to exchange experiences and to merge their editors. Later today a new beta of SubEthaMate will be released, as a combined effort between TheCodingMonkeys and MacroMates. This new beta will feature preliminary support for both of SubEthaEdit and TextMate strongpoints, collaboration features, access to the Unix shell, and remote editing over (S)FTP. The beta will of course be very rough around the edges, and it will require extensive testing and feedback to get all this right. Allan told me that the new beta will be released only to the TextMate community later today. The public announcement will follow when SubEthaMate is more stable. To be certain, I contacted one of TheCodingMonkeys, Martin Pittenauer. He confirmed that they are working with Allan to create a stronger editor. "TextMate and SubEthaEdit both have the same philosophy, selling their editor at a low price and placing high value on usability. It is time we combined our effort and knock BareBones off their throne.", he commented. He also told me that they are waiting for SubEthaMate to become reasonably stable, before releasing it to their community. I can't wait to get my hands on the new beta! Jeroen.

Java language grammar problems

by Steve Lianoglou

Hey folks, To the maintainer of the Java language bundle, I just pulled the latest from svn. I didn't realize if the Java.tmbundle was update, but there are (IMHO) some bugs in the language grammar that I'm running accross that I don't think I've seen before but it's possible I just wasn't looking: FIRST: When the cursor is immediately outside of a block comment, the scope still shows "comment.documentation.java" or "comment.block.java" when I don't think it should be (imagine the ^ character to be the cursor): Example: /* some comment here */^ -- or -- /** * My method does this */^ the scope on the outside of the closed comment is being recognized as comment.block.java and comment.documentation.java respectively when really I'm out of the comment blocks. SECOND: All the code after an abstract method is scoped to meta.definition.method.java, like for Example: public abstract void doSomething(); // all code in the file below this is scoped to the meta.definition.method.java if I add a {} at the end of the abstract method signature the scope gets fixed -- but, y'know ... then the compiler complains :-) Thanks, -steve

Nested comments for a Coldfusion language bundle

by Tim Lucas

A month or two ago I started making a Coldfusion bundle and haven't look at it since... and now I'm back doing some CF work again the highlighting is starting to piss me off, so I thought I'd ask you guys: how do I do a bundle pattern that matches nested comments? In CFML you can have  </cfif> ---> and the whole thing should be syntax coloured as a comment. The basic pattern at the moment is: { name = 'comment.block.html'; begin = ''; } any ideas how to get nesting working? -- Tim

Re: InputManager on german OSX & PropertyList Bundle

by Daniel K�smayr

Dear Allan, I compiled the InputManager from svn and installed it similar to what I found here on this list's archive (i.e. put both the .bundle and Info into ~/Library/InputManagers/Edit in TextMate --- this works! Great, now I can write my emails in TextMate (which is sooooo much better than Mail.app) using Markdown etc. Also the problem with the PropertyList bundle was odd. I deleted the bundle from Disk and re-imported it from the svsn and now it is available (again?). And as a side note and feature request: Would it not be really great if TextMate would take over in ALL Cocoa Apps? ;) Not just as an InputManager, but as default editing view ;) Ahh, just dreaming again.

tmCodeBrowser-Plugin problems

by Daniel K�smayr

Dear folks, Is it just me, or does the CodeBrowser not work when TextMate is run in Intel-Mode? When I start it in Rosetta everything is fine, in intel-mode I have no CodeBrwoser, but instead a: 2006-03-22 01:00:00.774 TextMate[5326] *** -[NSBundle load]: Error loading code /Users/dekay/Library/Application Support/TextMate/ PlugIns/TmCodeBrowser.tmplugin/Contents/MacOS/TmCodeBrowser for bundle /Users/dekay/Library/Application Support/TextMate/PlugIns/ TmCodeBrowser.tmplugin, error code 2 (link edit error code 0, error number 0 ()) 2006-03-22 01:00:00.775 TextMate[5326] instance TmCodeBrowser plugin doesn't have proper initializer on my console… too bad, Daniel

CocoaDialog stalls with stdin

by Quinn Comendant

I've written a little command to help me grep the current file and copy matching lines to a new document. I've copied the example of "Search the TextMate Mailing List" for the CocaoDialog. However my implementation is stalling and I need to killall CocaoDialog to free it up. Save: Nothing Input: Selection Output: Create new document --- res=$(CocoaDialog inputbox \ --title "Find matching lines" \ --informative-text "Regular expression to match lines:" \ --button1 "Find" --button2 "Cancel") [[ $(head -n1 <<<"$res") == "2" ]] && exit_discard pattern=$(tail -n1 <<<"$res") perl -ne "print if /$pattern/"; The only thing much different here from the "Search mailing list" code is the use of stdin. Hmmmm? Q

Better Code Completition / Automatic Function Prototypes

by Eric Coleman

Hi everyone, Not sure if this is possible. Anyone ever use Zend Studio? The auto competition and function prototypes are simply amazing. Basically, completion happens automatically, and gives a nice drop down with prototype information in it. Also, if you are inside a functions brackets, it will show a prototype of the function, based on the PHPDoc comments (if it's available). Is this possible in the current version of textmate? I imagine it would have to index the project to get this going. If it's not possible, is it every planned? I immagine it would be useful for ruby, javascript, and anything else really provided it had a method to parse the source code in the project. Regards, Eric

Smartypants

by Oliver Taylor

Since TextMate already has such great support for Markdown I'm wondering why Smartypants has been left in the dark. I was reading this: http://rentzsch.com/notes/contemporaryQuill ...and wondering why a solution like this has not already been implemented. The only reason I don't want to use this is because it will break when TextMate has been updated. Is there an implementation like this already out there?

subversion question

by Oliver Taylor

So, in the process of writing the screenwriting bundle I'm working (and using every day) I've come to the conclusion that it might be cool to look into subversion for working with screenwriting projects. Obviously I know nothing about subversion, so my question is: Is this stupid? Do you guys have any good resources for getting started with subversion? Is there a better solution (since I'm just using text-documents)? I can't seem to find a really good intro on how to use TextMate with Subversion, did I miss it somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 18, Issue 62

by Ryan J. Bonnell

>> [...] TextMate seems to show tabs and line endings but not any more of >> the non-printing characters that BBEdit shows > > It does show unprintable characters, but not spaces. It's good to know I wasn't doing something wrong. However, if the functionality exists [and has already been written/tested] why keep it out of a release? Trust me, I want to fall in love with TextMate, but there's some things that can't yet be done in TextMate -- I find myself jumping back to BBEdit in order to accomplish these tasks. > I found that to look too busy and the spaces should be indicated by where > there are no other ,,invisibles% shown I respect the consideration to keep the application lean and fast, but when should a developer's personal preference get in the way of what his/her end user's want out of a product? > (I know there are requests for configuration here). A simple option or preference would be a welcome addition and wouldn't require people to use it. BBEdit conditionally allows one to show invisibles and then selectively choose whether or not spaces are shown. >> I was able to find the ShowInvisibles Bundle for TextMate that aims >> to highlight tabs and spaces in different colors but it doesn't >> appear to work with my setup and/or preferences. > > It was created prior to the theme system.

This information is encouraging, but the bundle doesn't come with any documentation or configuration instructions, only to edit the Invisibles.plist to suit ones' needs. Could you put together an example of a theme rule that would highlight the spaces in a document using this bundle?

PropertyList Bundle keeps getting lost

by Daniel K�smayr

Allan, I am curious: the PropertyList bundle keeps getting lost on my system. No apparent reason why. A svn update does not tell me about any changes; it is still installed - yet the bundle editor does not list it in its filters list. I have to install it into ~/Library/ Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ else it will not be listed at all?! odd. Daniel

Edit in TextMate - Encoding

by Geir-Tore Lindsve

Hi all, I'm currently working on a website where I'm going to add text through html forms. I have tried the Edit in Textmate option, but it seems to be an issue with the encoding. The site I'm working on uses iso-8859-1 as encoding, and when I get the text in Textmate all Norwegian characters are not represented correct. I guess this is because Textmate uses unicode in its internal representation of the text. Are there any workarounds for this? -- Mvh/Regards Geir-Tore Lindsve lindsve(a)bluezone.no http://www.lindsve.net

Split the project drawer?

by Russell E. Owen

I have a project with about 500 files that split neatly into a few categories. Is there some way to split the project drawer or otherwise get two separate scrolling views of different subsections of the project? And/or can one get a multi-pane hierarchical view (like one of the Finder views)? It looks like Go to File... will often be the quickest way to open a file, but sometimes I'll have to manually hunt through the hierarchy and some hints on how best to wade through it would be much appreciated. -- Russell

Ryan, > Could you put together an example of a theme rule that would > highlight the > spaces in a document using this bundle? Just add a new line to whatever theme you are using (in prefs, fonts&colors, click the plus button), select that line, enter the scope selector that the Invisibles.bundle assigns to invisibles - et voilá! hth, Daniel PS: I don't have access to the bunlde -- thus you will need to figure out the scope yourself from the bundle editor.

command with osascript stalls

by Quinn Comendant

This is either a bug or I'm doing something wrong. I've created a bundle command with the following line: osascript -e 'tell application "TextMate"' -e 'set bounds of window 1 to {640, 1, 1279, 832}' -e 'set bounds of window 2 to {1, 1, 640, 832}' -e 'end tell'; TextMate beachballs until I run 'killall osascript' in the terminal. If I run the above line in the terminal directly, it works as expected. Is there some kind of break in the chain of Command -> Shell -> Applescript -> TextMate? Can anybody think of a better way to emulate BBEdit's "Arrange Windows" command? Thanks, Quinn

Java language grammar problems

by Steve Lianoglou

Hi folks, Don't know what happened to my original email, but it seems it got gobbled up before it even reached the mailing list, so here goes again: I'm not sure if this is a bug in TM or the java grammar since upon reviewing the Java Lang definition itself, it seemed to be correct in the "hey-that-looks-right" sense .. not the "oh-yeah-I-know-what-I'm- talking-about-and-that's-definitely-right" sense. I just pulled the latest (everything) from svn. I didn't realize if the Java.tmbundle was updated, but there are some things going on which look a bit buggy. FIRST: When the cursor is immediately outside of a block comment, the scope still shows "comment.documentation.java" or "comment.block.java" when I don't think it should be (imagine the ^ character to be the cursor): Example: /* some comment here */^ -- or -- /** * My method does this */^ the scope on the outside of the closed comment is being recognized as comment.block.java and comment.documentation.java respectively when really I'm out of the comment blocks. SECOND: All the code after an abstract method is scoped to meta.definition.method.java, like for Example: public abstract void doSomething(); // all code in the file below this is scoped to the meta.definition.method.java if I add a {} at the end of the abstract method signature the scope gets fixed -- but, y'know ... then the compiler complains :-) Thanks, -steve

Huge files in Textmate ( ***long*** )

by Richard Vile

Hi, I'm new to Textmate and enjoying it a lot. This weekend, I was playing around with the good old Sieve of Eratosthenes. That was the very first computer program I ever wrote (way back in 1970 in Fortran IV - ran it on an IBM1130 with 8K - yes that's K! of core memory). It computed all the primes less than 10,000 and its runtime (determined by using my wristwatch while looking through the window into the computer room - timed from when the operator loaded the cards into the reader until the output started on the line printer) was about 90 seconds, not counting the printout which probably took longer than the compute time. Just out of curiosity, I wrote a cheesy, q&d little python script to do the sieve: #!/usr/local/env python import sys, os """ The sieve of Eratosthenes. Compute all primes less than some integer (given here by 'bound') """ def printem(sieve): # Any sieve entries still not 0 must be primes # (Eratosthenes - antiquity) px = 0 for p in range(0, len(sieve[2:])): if sieve[p] != 0: print sieve[p], px += 1 if (px % 10) == 0: print def sievem(bound=0): if bound == 0: sys.stdout.write('How many integers should I sieve? ') bound = int(sys.stdin.readline()[:-1]) sieve = range(0, bound+1) remove = 2 while remove * remove < bound+1: for pm in range(remove*remove, bound+1, remove): if pm < bound + 1: sieve[pm] = 0 # Find "next" prime from the remaining sieve elements for np in range(remove+1, bound+1): if sieve[np] != 0: remove = np break printem (sieve) print if __name__ == '__main__': sievem(10000) I ran 'time python sieve.py' and got: real 0m0.816s user 0m0.127s sys 0m0.215s This on my dual 867mhz Mac G4 with 2Gb RAM. Not surprising that it's faster. But comparing python to compiled Fortran seems a little unfair, so I ginned up a little C program and compiled that for N=10000 and timed it: (list of primes < 10000) ... found 1229 primes real 0m0.331s user 0m0.005s sys 0m0.022s That's about 272 times as fast as the old IBM machine, but that's not the point of this story. I decided to see how far I could push the calculations on my machine without tying it up for a week and without spending a lot of time fiddling with the algorithm. I finally wound up computing all the primes less than 1 billion and redirecting the output to a file. (Googling confirmed that the number of primes computed by my code was correct). The resulting file is fairly large: -rw-rw-r-- 1 dick staff 507044566 Mar 27 17:54 primes_upto_a_billion.txt So, I decided to see how various programs would handle loading, displaying and (shudder) manipulating this file. First, I burned it to a CD using Toast with little or no difficulty. Then I experimented with BBEdit (Lite), irEdit, Eclipse3.1, SeaMonkey (Mozilla browser), Alpha, etc. etc. with very mixed results. Most of them either loaded the file (and then were very sluggish about navigating it), had to be force killed, or cleanly gave up. The latter was the case for most of the Java based apps, since they probably defaulted to starting the JavaVM with too little heap: it's obviously gonna take at least 600mb or more. The programs that succeeded usually showed both Real and Virtual memory sizes in the range of 900+ Mb. Finally, I got around to trying TextMate. Well, the results were disappointing. It crashed before finishing its load: TextMate(21976,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1073741824) failed (error code=3) TextMate(21976,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region TextMate(21976,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc My interpretation of this console output is that TextMate was trying to acquire over a gigabyte of memory with a single request. Not clear (a) why this much would be needed for a slightly over 500mb file and (b) why my machine couldn't respond, since I regularly have Inactive size at or near 1Gb and lots more available from programs that at idle could be forced to page out their real memory to disk. Anyway, I thought it was all interesting and I would like to hear people's reactions about the whole topic of editor scalability and editing huge files. This does have real-world ramifications. E.g. the product I work on is a large Financial Analysis programming language written in C and bits of C++, which implements a proprietary database format for time-series data storage. When there are problems in debugging, we generate "slog" files (selective logs) which routinely in the worse cases can approach 1Gb in size. We've never really found a reasonably way to deal with the largest of these and usually resort to other methods, but it would be nice some day to be able to actually edit them with some measure of efficiency. I'm sure most readers of this list have had similar experiences. In addition, when I had finished experimenting with the other editors / browsers / IDEs, and went to quit my existing TextMate session, it took quite some time. I got several spinning beachballs in the process. My take on this is that my experimenting caused lots of TextMates working storage to be paged out and that it had to fault all that stuff back into it's working set. That kind of thing seems to happen with TextMate in general: e.g. when I accidentally hover too long in the File menu on Open Recent... TextMate spins that beachball for all it's worth - often taking 10 or 15 seconds to come back to life. What's up with that? Does it try to generate this from project files and have to read through the equivalent of 1000's of status entries, many perhaps out on disk? Whatever - it's quite annoying and I've tried to force myself to use Cmd-O whenever possible. Sorry for the length of this, I just couldn't resist.

Show Invisibles (Spaces) in TextMate?

by Ryan J. Bonnell

I'm a long-time web developer and BBEdit user wanting to learn TextMate for a Ruby on Rails project. I've grown used to relying on BBEdit's show invisibles command as meaning "show me tabs, spaces, line-endings, and other non-printing characters (gremlins)" as symbols. I was expecting the same behavior out of TextMate as BBEdit or SubEthaEdit, but it doesn't seem to work the same. I've searched the TextMate documentation and the mailing list archive for any mention of "showing spaces", (i.e. the ability to show spaces, a la BBEdit's "Show Invisibles" command) but I've been unable to find any results that address my problem. However, TextMate seems to show tabs and line endings but not any more of the non-printing characters that BBEdit shows. I was able to find the ShowInvisibles Bundle for TexMate that aims to highlight tabs and spaces in different colors but it doesn't appear to work with my setup and/or preferences. ShowInvisibles Bundle (11-27-04) http://macromates.com/wiki/pmwiki?n=Bundles.ShowInvisibles Has anyone had any success in configuring TextMate to "Show Invisibles" or "Show Spaces" like BBEdit or SubEthaEdit allow? If there's a a build of TextMate that already does is, I can't find it and in that case would appreciate a hint or help getting it working. Thanks! - Ryan J.

Bundle Language "Language Definition"

Dear TMaters, I am just editing some language grammar (again) and -- since this is about the best idea ever -- am doing this in a regular textmate window (not the bundle editor). And voila, I can select a new language, one for which I cannot find a bundle, called "Language Definition." Neat. But it beeps. When I select the language, when I add new lines etc. From console.log 2006-03-26 14:05:08.905 TextMate[455] didn't find rule named source.plist 2006-03-26 14:05:08.906 TextMate[455] didn't find rule source.plist Anything I should/can do about this? thx, Dan PS: If I am clogging the list, tell me :)

Text width control

by Afternoon

Hi, I'm new to TextMate, coming from Vim. Is there an equivalent to Vim's textwidth setting, which automatically wraps a line as you type past the nth character? The new line is indented two extra tab stops generally. If not, is this something which would be possible with a plug-in (when the API is ready)?

Current scope for themes

by Andreas Wahlin

I tried to google but didn't really find anything in my oh so short overview. It would be great to have a meta-selector of sorts for the scope, so you can "highlight" the current element when editing or something. I'm actually beginning to really like the Brilliance Dull Beta theme (!) and that html-tags are almost "invisible". However, it would be really cool if it could light up when the caret is over it, or light up an attribute with the caret on and so forth. This must have been mentioned before, but as I said, I did google ... a bit :) Andreas

automated RSS feeds with TextMate

by Oliver Taylor

I use this to create the feeds for ollieman.net. I thought you guys might like this... You'll want to start out with a valid RSS2 feed like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"> <channel> <title></title> <link></link> <language>en-us</language> <description></description> </channel> </rss> Now to the real fun; it's just a snippet but it makes hand-coding RSS feeds a breeze. Here it is: <item> <title>$1</title> <description><![CDATA[ $2 <a href="$5">Read more</a> ]]></description> <pubDate>${3:`date +%a,\ %d\ %b\ %Y\ %H:%M:%S\ %Z`}</pubDate> <author>${4:Oliver Taylor} nospam(a)example.com</author> <guid isPermaLink="true">${5:http://ollieman.net/$6}</guid> <link>$5</link> <category>$7</category> </item> The only thing of real note here is getting the pubDate correct. If you want it to insert GMT instead of your local time you'll have to tweak that. Lastly, make sure to set the scope to text.xml and you're all set. That's it! 1,2,3-easy RSS feed.

Help: Keyboard shortcuts & "Edit In TextMate"

by Daniel K�smayr

Dear TMaters, I am experiencing weird problems with TextMate not recognizing some keyboard shortcuts from bundles (i.e. the LaTeX bundle) containing the escape-key. I can get the completion when pressing esc - but all the other commands working with esc and a modifier key do not work at all. If I am lucky I get a beep; selecting the macros I need by hand from the bundle-macro-menu works as intended… any ideas? Also I cannot get the "Edit in Textmate"-InputManager to work in Mail.app - it works e.g. in TextMate's Bundle-Editor (very useful), but Mail.app would be even more so. ;( Any idea where I might look for causes to this problem? * there are no other InputManagers installed * my .services are rather trimmed by using ServiceScrubber - and as far as I can tell none are colliding on the shortcuts… Thanx again, Daniel

Re: Re: Pimping the LaTeX grammar - trying to, at least

by Daniel K�smayr

Haris, As you are the "local LaTeX bundle god." Do you think functionality like what I am trying to do would be useful in the main bundle? I have been thinking about doing some bundle or snippets for language grammar extension specifically targeted to LaTeX, as this is my main concern these days (or better call it major distraction from actually *writing* my thesis). What I am trying o accomplish is a much more detailed markup/ assignemnt of scopes for possible theme development. I believe it would be very useful to have that much more markup available, especially since I am using many packages, environments -- just getting some visual feedback would be nice. Or something where you are editing some lines somewhere and you are wondering which environment you are currently in, just press ctrl-shift-P and it prints "meta.environment.myverycoolenv" -- much better would be a very light color change in that environment. (I like to have my list environments colored… and possibly with different colors for itemize, enumerate etc.) And these thoughts brought me to the point where I figured I could create that "detour" to include my custom language grammar before the LaTeX language grammar was read. Examples for my changes are: - recognize \vref and \prettyref as meta.label.reference - markup the different \headings with support.function.section.XXX.latex with XXX being part, chapter, section etc. - markup the acronym package - markup the fixme package so the \fixme{} is easy to spot. Many of these changes are not essential and mostly eye candy. But then: I like eye candy ;) Marking up commands that are not standard TeX or LaTeX does have other benefits - if you have a different color for recognized commands vs. words that start with \ - you kind of get spell checking built in for commands ;) i.e. "no special color? Not spelled correctly" I am still not very comfortable with the whole language grammar setup, but I am learning… a bit awkward is also the naming convention - as I need a better understanding of the underlying logic in order to apply stuff to latex. But in the end - it is just markup and as long as there is some convention you can easily use the markup - but names are names and if i call something text.latex or humftibunm makes no difference to the machine -- just convenience for us users. ;) A couple questions still bog my mind, though: - Am I correct assuming that I can use a certain pattern just once? When I copy a rule from Latex.plist to my custom.plist - only the one encountered first gets to markup the text. - Is there a way to markup a pattern with more than just one scopes? Like for \begin{mycustomlist} set something like meta.environment.list *and* meta.package.custom Good night ;) Dan

Language Grammer, parsing en external file - LaTeX; extending "standard bundles"

by Daniel K�smayr

Dear TMaters, Is there a way to parse an external file, say within my project, and possibly defined by a project environment variable - to add certain terms to my Language Grammar? This would be very useful for LaTeX projects where you have different custom macros and/or different used packages where you want some hi-lighting in your theme and thus have to change the grammar file for all those changes. Better would be a macro/script/whatever that would just scan the preamble.tex or so for all my \newcommands and add them to the recognized scopes... Or, less fun but still useful: one could write a file with certain terms that need a new scope - and parse that from within the bundle. I guess maybe this is overkill, but it seems to me that LaTeX is one of the more customizable languages out there - and I at least would love some more power-tools and flexibility on my fingertips *without* running to write new regexp's every time (but then I am not familiar enough with regexps to do so easily - maybe that will need to change). What exactly IS the most useful way and best way in regards to updating "official" bundles via svn to make customized bundles? How can I make sure that I can still take advantages of "official" changes that come via svn but still retain my customizations? (And possibly be informed if there are conflicts - i.e. if there are changes in a bundle where I have changes as well…?). …Dan

Python + Regular Expressions Bundle?

by Ryan Wilcox

Hi all, Using TextMate and love using it in my current (Python) project. I have a question though. I svn co-ed the RegularExpressions.tmbundle, and installed it. Now is there a way to get this to play nicely with Python? Let me explain: In Python most regular expressions are defined as follows: blah = re.compile(r'...') would compile the regular expression ... into blah object. Now I would like the (regular expression code) inside the r'...' to be colored with RegularExpressions.tmbundle. I think I can do this somehow with scopes, but this is still my first week with TextMate, and I don't know what I'm doing with it yet. Thanks for the help!, _Ryan Wilcox

Re: Pimping the LaTeX grammar - trying to, at least

by Daniel K�smayr

Dear folks, I have succeeded, a bit at least. I have been looking for a way to do two things: 1. create markup for the different heading types 2. create some kind of mechanism that lets me extend the latex grammar without the need to fiddle with the main latex grammar file (as I would like to keep my edits separate from those within the svn/ official version). The following is just quick description, I will clarify later if there are questions… for now. And I will post some samples somewhere if anyone cares. solution for #2: start the LaTeX language grammar with: patterns = ( { include = 'text.latex.user'; }, and define overriding patterns as well as new, custom patterns such as stuff you would like for packages you use or macros you defined yourself (useful since right now everything starting with \ is colored, but in order to catch typos or whatever I like to have my custom commands colored in a certain way - thus recognizing them easier.) solution for #1: add those lines (adapted to each heading that should be styled separately) before the main section recognition pattern: { name = 'meta.section.latex'; begin = '((\\(?:chapter))(\*?)(?:(\[)[^\[]*?(\]))??(\{))'; end = '(\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'support.function.section.chapter.latex'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = 'source.tex'; } ); contentName = 'entity.name.section'; }, further notes: the includes may need to be adapted in the examples in order to correctly parse things in bracket within your custom definitions. Lessons learned: * You should not create a circular include structure. This will crash TextMate * and thus: save early and save often. Just when does TextMate save edited bundles? (I just quit TM, this does the job, but else? i.e. after that crash I lost the work of about 2h ;)) Dan

Pimping the LaTeX grammar - trying to, at least

by Daniel K�smayr

Dear folks, I would like to get some language grammar markup to the different levels of headings in my Latex stuff - and thus I am trying to mess with the grammar file. I have added rules like: { name = 'meta.section.level0.latex'; begin = '((\\(?:part))(\*?)(?:(\[)[^\[]*?(\]))??(\{))'; end = '(\})'; }, which seem to work - but I am losing the functionality of the "regular" Latex grammar. So I am trying to nest the recognition somehow, resulting in: { name = 'meta.section.latex'; comment = 'this works OK with all kinds of crazy stuff as long as section is one line'; begin = '((\\(?:(?:sub)*section|chapter|paragraph|part|addpart| addchap|addsec|minisec))(\*?)(?:(\[)[^\[]*?(\]))??(\{))'; end = '(\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'support.function.section.latex'; patterns = ( { include = '#levelA'; }, ); }; }; patterns = ( { include = 'source.tex'; } ); contentName = 'entity.name.section'; repository = { levelA = { name = 'meta.section.level0.latex'; match = '((\\(section))(\*?)(?:(\[)[^\[]*?(\]))??(\{))'; }; }; }, but somehow this does not work. Any ideas what needs to be changed? thanx, Daniel

Bulletin Board bundle

by Jacob Rus

Hi TextMate list, I just made, and uploaded to the svn repository, a bulletin board bundle (BBCode). Let me know what you think. Specifically, does it match the syntaxes of web fora other than Ars Technica, which I designed it for? Ars's smileys are probably unique. Then again, I don't really know the ins and outs of BBCode. -Jacob

latex theme support

by thomas Aylott

howdy. I just spend a couple hours making the Brilliance Black BETA theme[1] work with LaTeX. It looks a lot better than it did. It all does seem a bit too purple since a lot of the language is functions. There are some subtle things you might love to hate. Nested lists get slightly darker text for each level of depth. Thanks to David Levy for sending be a bunch of sample LaTeX files to test with. It helped a lot! Thanks also to Michael Sheets who sent me sample source files for a whole slew of languages. I wouldn't have bothered collecting and testing my stuff with all these languages if it had not been for these guys. [1] http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/Themes/Brilliance%20Black% 20BETA.tmTheme I have only updated Brilliance Black. I'm not going to get around to updating brilliance dull for a little while. I'm still planning on a Brilliance White, too. How interested are people in the alternate versions? thomas Aylott subtleGradient oblivious(a)subtleGradient.com

binding f3 to close window...

by Fons Rademakers

For historical reasons I would like to bind f3 to "close window" command. I tried to record a macro, but as soon as I hit apple-w, the window obviously closes but also the macro recording does abort. It would be simple if I could just add in the bundle editor a macro doing "closeWindow" (I assume that is the name of the command).

Re: Themes, LaTeX and such

Thomas, I really like the work you have done so far on say the iLife theme, also the Brilliance beta seems cool, although I will need to test it if it is useful for work ;) I have never had a non-white background yet. I am looking forward to your theming-howtos. Will you cover just the theme parts or will you include some stuff about the language grammar/ markup side of things as well? Daniel …who just figured out that combining two selectors in themes with transparent colors makes for very cool effects.

Half Window View - Extra Space in Text Window

by thomas Aylott

Howdy. I'd just like to revive this old feature request. I have a much large monitor than ever before. I also develop rubyonrails apps, so most of my files are rather short. I want to keep the window the full height of the screen. But when I do that the code is all stuck to the top of the screen. It's much easier to code when the code i'm editing is in the middle of the window, in the middle of the screen. Any chance of adding an extra half page of scroll space to the top and bottom of the text pane? Maybe it could be a preference for people who'd hate it.

Little bit OT: regexp and javascript

by Geir-Tore Lindsve

Hi, This is a bit off-topic for this list, I know, but since I know there are a lot of highly competent people on this I'll give it a try... I'm currently trying to figure out how to use regexp + javascript to parse the content of a web page. What I want to do is collect weather data from a Norwegian website and include it in a dashboard widget. Here is the site with an example search: http://tux.aftenposten.no/weathersearch/weathersearch.do? name=levanger&sok=limnor I tried to copy the source into TextMate and use the regexp search in TM to figure out the patterns to use, but I can't seem to solve it. Any help are appreciated. As far as I can see, the weather data for a particular day are enclosed by <tr><td class="idag" ... </tr>, but there is a lot of space around the tags, which I presume must be included in the regexp patterns. Anyone here which could kick me in the right direction when it comes to these patterns? -- Mvh/Regards Geir-Tore Lindsve lindsve(a)bluezone.no http://www.lindsve.net

Themes, LaTeX and such

by Daniel K�smayr

Dear TextMaters, I am looking for a theme that works very well with LaTeX - I don't care much about colors and such, yet. But it seems that TM provides some very detailed features for syntax coloring and I am not happy (yet) with the themes I have found so far, I would like much more… so I am looking for either a theme base for latex that at least has styles already defined for most sections, or some pointer on how to best design a theme, how to find out the scopes for sections of text… basically an in-depth-tutorial or documentation for the theme design? (Maybe I am looking at the wrong places…?) Is there an easy way to extract all possible scope selectors from a languag definition and create a blanket theme out of this? Dreaming?!, Dan

Introducing the "LaTeX experimental" bundle

by Charilaos Skiadas

Hello, those of you that use LaTeX a lot, you might be interested in checking out the LaTeX experimental bundle that i just checked into the repository. It's got a couple of commands that are still "rough" and not quite production ready, hence the title "experimental". One simulates the greek letter method of inserting letters commonly found in emacs (i.e. first press shift-ctrl-g, then the letter, then space). Another encloses the current sequence of non-space characters in dollar signs, so you could for instance type: \sin ctrl-$ and get $ \sin$. Another, given as a selection a math equation of the form $...$ or $ $...$$ or $...$ etc, it toggles the math symbols. I.e. it will take $foo$ and $foo$ to \[foo\] and vice versa. Finally, the home and end keys are bound to two macros that are inspired by Thomas Aylott's macros for moving about in HTML documents, except they try to do a descend job with LaTeX. All these are work in progress, and any ideas/contributions/ suggestions are more than welcome. Haris

Reformat paragraph inserting spaces

by Matthew Gilbert

I use reformat paragraph a lot for reStructuredText. Normally the text is not indented so reformat paragraph works well. However, for lists and other things that are indented, reformat paragraph works unexpectedly. When I reformat a paragraph that is indented by a single tab the indented text is indented with spaces. So, the first line still contains the tab I inserted, but subsequent lines are indented with spaces. This of course causes issues with the reST parser. My question, is this something I've screwed up in my settings or is this expected behavior? I expected whatever indent I started with to be copied to subsequent lines. Nothing turned up when I searched the mailing list. Any help is appreciated. Thanks _matt

Not getting all C symbols

by David Chin

Hi, I have a Python C module, and comments between the end of the arguments and the opening brace seem to screw up its ability recognize the function name: static PyObject * tableio_writeTable(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) /* args: (string) */ { / * function body */ } I'm not sure how to modify the module to get this to work. Putting that comment somewhere else makes it work fine, but I'd like to avoid having to go through the code and editing every function definition. Can someone offer a hint as to how to fix the module? TIA, Dave

new theme, Brilliance Black BETA

by thomas Aylott

Howdy. Just wanted to let you guys know about my new theme. http://macromates.com/wiki/Themes/UserSubmittedThemes http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/Themes/Brilliance%20Black% 20BETA.tmTheme I'd like you guys to test it our for me and let me know if any of it looks ugly or unusable with the code that you use. I developed primarily for xHTML, CSS, JS, RubyOnRails & Ruby. I also tested and tweaked it for: actionscript, Ada, ANTLR, asp, asp.net, C, C++, obj-C, embedded Django, java, markdown, MIPS Assembler, Perl, PHP, Python, Slate, SQL, xml XML is currently rather hard to read without a bright monitor. PHP could use some color tweaks to look less ugly. (even though php doesn't deserve to look pretty ;) ) I haven't tested it with LaTeX, yet. I got some great code samples from <insert name here, because I forgot it> If anyone uses a language where this theme looks ugly, please let me know. The idea of this theme is to be the ultimate theme prototype that all themes are based on. I, personally, will use this theme as the template that all my new themes are based on. So I really want to get the scopes as perfect and all-encompassing as possible. Thanks! Enjoy ;) PS: no screenshots of it yet. thomas Aylott subtleGradient oblivious(a)subtleGradient.com

Poll: Which Langage Do You Use With Textmate?

by Allan Odgaard

I created a poll on the wiki to get a feel for which languages TextMate is primarily used with: http://macromates.com/wiki/Polls/WhichLanguageDoYouUse Cast as few votes as possible, i.e. do not add points to languages you rarely use (it is not a poll about how many languages people know, but which they actually use regularly). Be vary of edit conflicts on the wiki page. These will be detected automatically, but needs manual resolving -- it is probably easier to just start over, if one happens (the wiki presents the diff when committing the edit when there is a conflict). I think queuing theory dictates that some edit conflicts are bound to happen, given the number of subscribers to this list, but I am not writing specific polling functionality just for this :)

TextMate selectively refuses to open files.

by Josh DiMauro

A search of the ML archives has come up empty, so I turn to the mothership: I have a problem. Textmate is selectively refusing to open (or, rather, display) files that it should have no problem with. Some quick and dirty testing seems to indicate that this has to do with specific file extensions. It first manifested with a problem in using the "Edit in TextMate" command, but now I fear it's more widespread than that. First, an example to show what the behavior is like. Then, how it affects the whole system. ### Illustrative Example ### At the moment I am writing this email in TextMate, via using the "Edit in TextMate" command. The file: /private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/Trouble with "Edit in Textmate".mail opens just fine in TextMate. An experiment shows that I can open it fine from the Finder by dragging it onto the TM icon. However, when I tried to write this email from gmail, and used the "Edit in TextMate" command from within Safari, it changes focus to TextMate, but no file opens. A file has been created: /private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/Loading “Gmail - Compose Mail”.safari But textmate won't open it, not via File:Open, not via a drag to the dock, and not via Get Info association of .safari files with TextMate. __However__. If I select _more than one_ .safari file in the Finder, and drag them to the TextMate, a very odd thing happens. Textmate opens a new project with the three files listed. But clicking on one of those files doesn't actually open the file: ![TextMate Project Blank Tab](http://images.metacarpal.net/blog/ textmateoddbehavior1.png) You get a blank tab. Clicking on that tab _does_ display the file: ![TextMate Project Clicked Tab](http://images.metacarpal.net/blog/ textmateoddbehavior2.png) So there's something odd going on here. Another wrinkle is that, once you've clicked the tab and closed it once, it opens properly from the Project drawer. But not from the Finder or File:Open or the "Edit in TextMate" command. (Yes, I am OCD about checking things like this out, why do you ask?) I thought this was just for items in the TemporaryItems folder. But, it seems, I was wrong about that. I dragged a .safari file to the desktop and tried to open from there. No dice. Same odd multiple-item behavior. ### The Real Problem ### The loss of "Edit in TextMate" from the browser is, for me, bad enough. I have tasted the "real text editor for the browser" crack, and I'm hooked. But what really gets me is that this started with .php files, in Transmit. And I can't open .php files at all. I first edited a .php file remotely in Transmit, off my SFTP server. Saved the contents, got a system beep, closed it. Totally normal, except that after that, .php files broke. Same behavior as above: I try double-clicking a .php file in the Finder, I get TextMate open and nothing else; no document window, nothing. Multiple .php files = a new project with multiple files in the drawer. Clicking one gets a blank tab. Clicking the tab shows the file. Now, I _can_ edit non-php files remotely in Transmit. HTML works fine. Python works fine. But no .php Naturally, I spend most of my remote time editing .php files these days. :/ I'd prefer not to have to totally nuke TextMate, but I would really dearly love to have a functional text editor. Thanks in advance. Cheers, -- Josh DiMauro josh(a)metacarpal.net http://blog.metacarpal.net

setting more-than-one name to a language pattern

by Quinn Comendant

All my troubles with TextMate seem to do with language grammars. Here's another issue I can't work out on my own... I'm trying to add " case 'something': " to the Symbol List in the PHP language grammer. I've added the following pattern: { name = 'meta.symbol-list.php'; match = "\bcase\s+[^:]+:"; }, And after also adding a showInSymbolList preference item it does place all case items into the symbol list. But the unfortunate side effect is that the text is now not in the keyword.control.php scope, so has no syntax highlighting. How to give more than one scope name to a pattern? I don't want to include ALL the matches for keyword.control.php in my symbol list. Thanks, Quinn

Problems with vb.asp.net bundle

by John Tsombakos

Hi all, Recent user of TextMate... I've downloaded the latest bundles via subversion and have noticed a problem with the vb.asp.net bundle. If I try to open an .asp file, which is not a .NET file, just plain asp, there are errors generated in the Console: TextMate: zero width match (swallow pattern) { begin = "\$"; "begin_nfa" = <058c1720 >; end = "\$"; "end_nfa" = <006192d0 >; name = "meta.round-brackets"; patterns = ({include = "source.asp.vb.net"; }); swallow = "(\$[^\$]*[^\\)]*\\)|s*\\n*s*)"; "swallow_nfa" = <04ed1cb0 >; } TextMate: zero width match (swallow pattern) { begin = "\$"; "begin_nfa" = <058c1720 >; end = "\$"; "end_nfa" = <006192d0 >; name = "meta.round-brackets"; patterns = ({include = "source.asp.vb.net"; }); swallow = "(\$[^\$]*[^\\)]*\\)|s*\\n*s*)"; "swallow_nfa" = <04ed1cb0 >; } TextMate: zero width match (swallow pattern) { begin = "\$"; "begin_nfa" = <058c1720 >; end = "\$"; "end_nfa" = <006192d0 >; name = "meta.round-brackets"; patterns = ({include = "source.asp.vb.net"; }); swallow = "(\$[^\$]*[^\\)]*\\)|s*\\n*s*)"; "swallow_nfa" = <04ed1cb0 >; } ...about 39 times. I'm not sure if it corresponds to anything in my .asp file. It's a rather simple file. Also, if I create a new HTML file using the New from Template -> HTML command, and I try to insert a <script> tag in the header, TextMate will make an error sound, and for each key I try to type within the script tags, the error "ding" sounds. In the Console, many errors like this are shown: 2006-03-18 22:00:22.896 TextMate[16514] didn't find rule named source.js.bracketed 2006-03-18 22:00:22.898 TextMate[16514] didn't find rule source.js.bracketed To get rid of the errors, I deleted the vb.net bundle (I don't do .NET, so no great loss), but I thought I'd report it. I suppose I should send this off to support too.. Thanks.

Hey all, today i've discovered may be a prob with file encoding (???) over a .txt file. my pref setup is tuned to UTF-8 and a text file edited by TextMate was MacOS Roman, something to avoid definitely... then, using another text editor i've converted this file to UTF-8 and discovered again that after having edited this file with TextMate the file becomes again in MacOS Roman... the symtom is that TextEdit (also setup default to UTF-8) is unable to open the file. did other get about the same prob ???

Customizing Default Bundles

by Ken Scott

I'm helping a group that I consult with in customizing TextMate for their PHP development. They have a library of functions within their company that they want to have syntax-highlighted, similar to the built-in PHP functions. I accomplished this by creating a custom bundle, making a scope for their functions and adding the appropriate functions to the patterns section of the new language file. My problem is this: In order to get this new scope included with PHP files, I modified the default PHP.tmbundle with { include = 'source.php.ccb'; }, This works great, everything highlights. *But*, now this is a custom PHP bundle, and any updates to the default will be masked, until the new default is manually changed. Is there any way that I can "inject" my new scope into the PHP bundle without modifying the PHP bundle itself? I tried adding another language to my custom bundle, and just putting the include line in for the source.php scope. This disabled all the other PHP functionality. Thanks for the help, Ken Scott
