Create project from terminal ?

by Paul Burgess

Hi all, This may have been mentioned before somewhere, but before you tell me to RTFM or look at the Wiki let me say that: I have, and I couldn't find what i was looking for. So, here goes.... In his Ruby on Rails demonstration video clip, David Heinemeier Hansson launches TextMate into a kind of "new project" mode automatically by typing "e /folder/path" in the terminal. Genius ! But... how do I do this ? Is this a feature of TextMate available to the application itself ? For clarification of what I'm rambling on about, the Quicktime clip is here: http://media.nextangle.com/rails/rails_setup.mov ( 2mins 18 seconds in ). I wanted to ask this question here so others could benefit from the answer before I go pester David for the answer ! Thanks in advance, Paul Burgess.

Italic in syntax definitions

by Chris Jenkins

This is an issue I encountered using the built in syntax definition for Python - I don't like antialiasing so I have it switched off, unfortunately the Python syntax uses italic format in comments, which looks appalling without AA. I don't really want to switch AA on as that affects every language, and I don't want to have to edit the Python bundle to remove the italics. Is there a proposed solution to this? Would the style sheet approach to syntax files help?

anyone written a code beautifier script for ruby?

by Lang Riley

One of the few things that I had in vim that I don't in tm, and that I miss, is a code beautifier. I would like one for Ruby. Does anyone have some solution for this (like a command or something)? It would be nice to be able to configure it too, like number of spaces for indents, stuff like that. Undoubtedly, some Ruby guru has probably written a Ruby beautifier in Ruby : ) -- Best regards, Lang Riley

unable to add dot-files to project

by Brian Lalor

TM 1.1b5 I'm trying to create a project containing the .files from my home directory (.profile, .bashrc, &c.). When I explicitly add a .file to the project, either by dragging a proxy icon from an existing TM document, using the "tm" command line program (with multiple files), or using "add existing files..." from the project drawer, the files just disappear from the project. There used to be a per-project file/folder pattern setting accessible from the info window, but that's gone, with only the ability to edit per-project variables. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

Web preview is a cool idea but useless?

by Bruno Bronosky

I think that might have been a little harsh. What I mean is this: The web preview works awesome for real time viewing of html code. I am amazed. Really. But, I don't know anyone who write HTML anymore. Sometimes to make a Smarty Template, I'll write HTML and then retrofit it, but usually not. The web preview needs to be able to read from a valid URI, like http://127.0.0.1/projects/clientX/index.php I would at least like to find a solution to get Safari and/or Firefox to refresh on save. But I think the built in tool using webkit would be coolest. Has anyone figured this out? Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

Req: Compare docs-Diff

by Fred B.

After the small features request, here is a big one ;) I'm sure we talked about it here, but I don't remember if this is planned or not. Actually, I use TextMate for everything text-related except one thing: comparing two document(Diff). Unfortunately I need this feature a lot. For me, this is "The Last Big Thing" that TM misses. The best solution I found so far is to have a command launching TextWrangler to compare the active one and one I have to choose(w/Cocoa Dialog). 1) The way to launch this is a bit clumsy. (Having to navigate thru an "open" dialog) 2) Having TextWrangler opened just for that sucks a bit. 3) Having to edit the files in TW really sucks. I miss all the TM goodness and It makes me feels I'm back in time. ;) (And worst of all, I use TM shortcuts all the time and wonder why my commands, snippets, etc. don't work 8-| ) 4) This doesn't work with remote files, or I have to open them in TW. Meaning changing the prefs of my SFTP client. What I like in the "Compare two front documents" feature of TW: -The full screen is shared by the two docs with the Differences window under. -You can navigate easily thru the diffs. -Closing the Differences window brings the docs back where they were. -It exists. ;) You can even check differences of folders and batch files. So, my question is: Do you plan to implement this in TM, Allan? If the answer is yes, any idea when we might expect this? Meanwhile, does anybody have a better solution? -- Thanks

New TM Doc in Finder Contextal Menu. Any ideas ??

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 5, Issue 56

by max＠machinate.org

Hi Mats, I have already got skEdit and really like its implementation of the file chooser thing I was proposing, its pretty much what I was trying to emulate in TM ;). However I have to agree that although it is a very good editor it can't match TM's flexibility, and I thought Texmate could offer the best of both. I have put together a command that outputs filenames matching the first few letters but need a way of selecting options when there are multiple results. We'll have to wait for commands to output to a contextual menu to fully realise some of the potential of these ideas, but when it is supported I think there will be a lot of great tools available to us. Max > OK, not wishing to detract, offend or anything else here other than > being helpfull. Max, you can find a really nice implementation of this > type of functionality is in skEdit when dealing with <img> or <a> > tags. skEdit is $20 and beats both DW & BBEdit, but struggles a bit to > compare with TM in some areas :)

Re: req: command output to contextual menu

by max＠machinate.org

Maybe it would be a bit harder than I thought to make it backwards compatible. Keep thinking about it though. The reason I asked for it in the first place is that I was making a script to insert filenames into textmate, a bit like pressing tab in terminal. Sometimes I would get more than one result, and I wanted those to appear in a list. Now I've been thinking about it though, it might be a nice thing to have this behaviour built into Textmate. An example would be that if you typed in an html document: "href='i" and then pressed tab, you could invoke a menu which showed files matching 'i.*'. It could even be multi-dimensional as in my included mock-up. Thamks Max

Re: [TxMt] Req: Compare docs-Diff

by max＠machinate.org

I hadn't really thought of the possibilities for the contextual menu, I really thought of it for choosing a list of snippets to insert after a selection. If it could run commands as well, that would be very cool. XML sounds like a good way of generating the list, I don't use it that much, but couldn't each 'menu item' have 'input', 'output' and 'action' children to define what it should do? Would it be possible for you to make a menu that just had a list of snippets at the moment, which could be further expanded in the future? I look forward to any progress in this regard. Keep up the great work, Max

Text zooming key combos

by Rich Barton

The new text zoom feature is great, except that zooming in is literally bound to Command+`+` (that's command and the plus key). On PowerBooks and iBooks, `+` requires an extra modifier (shift), whereas `-` doesn't. Ideally, both would be consistent with one another. Could zooming in be bound to Command-= (as well as Command-+)? From my quick tests, Safari and Proteus similarly support both, but Mail, Terminal and TextEdit don't (go figure). Any opinions on this?

Automating { ... } to do ... end

I want to build a command, macro or whatever to have TextMate do a chore for me. I've taken a couple of passes at it, but I'm not having much luck yet and could use a little help. I have many snippets that help me quickly build Ruby iterators. Here's the one for each(): .each { |${1:e}| ${1:e}.$0 } So when I run that I get: .each { |e| e.<cursor here> } When those are getting longish, I break them up over multiple lines, but I switch { ... } to do ... end. So I want to change the above to: .each do |e| e.<cursor here> end I was trying to do this with a command, but it proved harder than I expected. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Command Help for templates

by Ketan Anjaria

I have a variable "myPackage" in my template. I would like to replace that with the directory of the template. For example if I created a file at /project/include/com/kidbombay/Myfile.as I would like to replace all instances of myPackage in my template with "com.kidbombay" Basically the steps are 1. Is the file located inside a "include" directory? If yes continue. 2. Parse all folders down from the include level. "include/com/client/project" would return "com/client/project" 3. Replace the slashes with dots. "com/client/project" becomes com.client.project. 4. Replaces all instances of myPackage in my template with "com.client.project" How would I do this? I am not very familiar with perl. Thanks!

Exploring Snippets

HumaneText.service

by Jonathon Delacour

Those who use TextMate together with John Gruber's Markdown to write for the web might be interested in HumaneText.service, which I discovered via Merlin Mann's 43 Folders site. HumaneText is an easy-to-use OS X service that, by combining Markdown, SmartyPants, and html2text, enables you to convert Markdown-formatted text to XHTML and vice versa. You can download HumaneText Service No. 4 here: http://gu.st/proj/HumaneText.service/ I've found that TextMate combined with Markdown is a marvellous web writing environment and HumaneText makes it nearly perfect.

HTML output ideas

by Eric Hsu

Boy, you give us a little HTML and some of us want more. Here are two ideas for the HTML Output. Version 3.0? anyway, here they are... 1. Let txmt:// handle commands/snippets/etc and send them to existing windows. I don't know how hard that would be. 2. Somehow let commands process the results of an HTML form. Not 100% sure how this could work, but I'm imagining being able to set form action=txmt://... The upshot of #1 is that you would have a mini-Dashboard in TM. People could hack out command palettes of all kinds. #2 would add even more flexibility. These brainstorms are the result of me wanting floating command palettes and trying to think of a good interface for my 'Edit Filenames in TM' contextual menu... - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Newbie folding property list q's

by Experiments

Just downloaded TextMate today after searching high and low for a text editor for OS X that has folding. I didn't realize it was a such a sought-after but generally unavailable feature. I've been hand-coding in Dreamweaver, which i like for its auto-complete and hints, but beyond that I haven't really had much luck marrying HTML and PHP in its framework. Anyway, to my questions, and thanks for bearing with me as I explore Text Mate, which looks great. If it's as good as I think it's going to be, I'll gladly pony up cash for TM. As far as I can tell, Text Mate won't "remember" code blocks that you've marked for folding unless you change something in the plist files with the respective syntax bundles. Yes? (I was surprised that I could fold up lots of code, save the file, and then lose all of my foldings when I reoped the file. At first I thought this was because I hadn't put the file into a project and saved the whole project.) Anyway, I basically have no idea what I'm doing. Is there some easy way of specifying the the opening and closing expressions for folding? Does this require that you have a good understanding of regular expressions? I started out viewing my code with HTML (PHP) syntax, which automatically recognizes some tag structures. When I switched to PHP syntax, which I like better, it doesn't seem to recognize anything at all. How does one add or modify the plist information so that TM will "remember" that I folded blocks such as: <?php ... ?> or even <form> ... </form> ? Thanks for any help you can provide. Sorry to be so verbose. Chas

Latex in Beta 5

If a Latex document is split into multiple files, the "to PDF" command (as advertised on the blog), generates an error. It worked beautifully previously (B4) - please could this be fixed in the next beta. Also, there are now two latex bundles (LaTeX and Latex), which is the most up-to-date? Thanks, Tim

A few problems with inserting text via a Command ???

by Mats Persson

I have a number of Commands to insert some text into the document, but all of them have a couple of 'side-effects' that I don't want. 1. The inserted text is always selected, and I would prefer it to not be selected. 2. There is always a New line character behind the input, whereas I would just want the cursor to remain immediately behind the inserted text on the same line. What is it that I'm missing or doing wrong ?? Any help would be gratefully received. Command Examples: INSERT DATE: Save: Nothing Command: echo `date +%Y-%m-%d` Input: None Output: Tried all versions ( Insert as Snippet / Replace Selected text / etc ) INSERT PATH2FILE: Save: Nothing Command: echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed "s|^$TM_USER_ROOT_DIRECTORY$.*$\$|\1|" Input: None Output: Tried all versions ( Insert as Snippet / Replace Selected text / etc ) Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

Option to disable automatic tab creation

by Edmundo Ortega

We've talked about this before, but I don't think anything became of it. Here's the idea: Create a preference so that new tabs are not created for every item clicked in the project drawer. To create a tab you would have to shift-command-click or something like that. Without the modified click, the current file would open either in a special "current item" tab on the left, that would simply be replaced by whichever item is clicked on next. This is similar to Safari's tabbed page behavior. For super-organized people that remember to close all the tabs they don't really need, they can choose not use the preference and retain the current behavior. For people like me that quickly reference other files and then forget to close them, this would be a nice way to avoid unnecessary tab clutter. Ed

Getting Into Templates

by James Edward Gray II

I'm starting to dig a little deeper and let TextMate do more for me. Next stop, templates. While we're there, here are my questions about them: 1. Can I control where my cursor appears after the template is filled in? and 2. In the project's New File dialog, the template list is in a predefined order and the top ten items have key shortcuts. How can I affect this listing, to get my templates were I want them? Thanks. James Edward Gray II

subversion bundle

by Eric Hsu

The bundle is just gorgeous, especially for things like "svn blame". It really shows the potential of the HTML output. However. svn is extremely slow on my computer (and perhaps on yours). Is there any way to either (1) put up a status bar (cocoadialog will do it) and/or (2) make the thing run in the background or otherwise not block TM from running? I'm thinking (2) is impossible unless Allan reworks how commands are called. -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Brainstorming Icons

by James Edward Gray II

I took my own stab at an icon this morning, after reading Apple's Guidelines. It didn't turn out at nice as anything that's been presented here already, but I decided to post it anyway in case it gives someone with more talent than me any ideas. http://www.grayproductions.net/ruby/images/TextMate_Icon.png In my defense, it looked a lot better when I was still playing with it at large sizes in the ray tracer. :) You could almost read the code and you could see the brushed metals. Ah well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. James Edward Gray II

TM Icon Poll [Bartelme vs Ethan v3]

by Mats Persson

Wow, this icon quest is getting really exciting, but ever more confusing, so I thought a simple poll between the two (???) top contenders could be of general interest, and a lot less confusing as to which one anyone is commenting on. Yeah, I know I'm being a bit of an anorak, but can't help it, and I am taking my medication daily ;-) To register your vote, please do a reply with the name of your preferred icon selected, and if you so wish add your reasons to why you like it below the quoted text. Any other comment belongs in a completely new thread. Please try to keep it on point here. Thank you! ;-) Icon A by Bartelme. Icon B by Ethan. My vote: Icon A by Bartelme Reason: I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm guessing it's something to do with Bartelme's icon following the general "text editor" icon look, and it is more in line with the 3D feel of the other Apple app icons in the dock which I think is more appropriate and professional.

Inserting a File Path

by Paul McCann

Greetings all (from a relatively new BBEdit->TextMate convert) Is there an easy way to insert a file/directory path into a TextMate window? I can do it using the slightly ugly applescript hack below, "Insert Finder Selection", but it'd be nice to drag-then-hit-command-while-dragging or some such. Just for fun I've included a couple of Perl commands for reading in a file "Perl Infile" (it's up to you what you do with it!) and for writing to a file "Perl Outfile". They try to be a little bit helpful: if you've selected text in TextMate the commands assume it's a filename and wrap around it, otherwise CocoaDialog is pulled up and you must select a file. in "Outfile" you can also select a directory: in this case it prompts for a filename to write to. See Eric's earlier post about CocoaDialog (http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/) You will need to change the $CD variable used in these scripts if you choose to install it somewhere other than /Applications . Regards, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Insert Finder Selection: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Save: Nothing Command: osascript<<END set linefeed to " " tell application "Finder" set x to the selection if the length of x is 0 then return "" end if set mylist to {} repeat with i from 1 to the number of items in x set y to item i of x as alias set mylist to mylist & (POSIX path of y) end repeat end tell END Input: None Output: Insert after selected text Key Equivalent: command-option-ctrl F ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Perl Infile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Save: Nothing Command: perl -e ' my $CD="/Applications/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog"; my $TMD=$ENV{'TM_DIRECTORY'}; my $selection=$ENV{'TM_SELECTED_TEXT'}; my $file; if ($selection){ ($file=$selection)=~s/\s+$//; # kill any trailing space }else{ my $rv=`$CD fileselect --text "Select a file" --no-newline --with-directory "$TMD"`; chomp($file = $rv); } exit unless $file; # user cancelled print <<HERE my \$infile = "$file"; open IN , "\$infile" or die "Input error: \$infile\\n\$!"; while ( <IN> ) { } HERE ' Input: None Output: Replace selected text Key Equivalent: command-option-ctrl I ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Perl Outfile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Save: nothing Command: perl -e ' my $CD="/Applications/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog"; my $TMD=$ENV{'TM_DIRECTORY'}; chomp(my $rv=`$CD fileselect --text "Select a file" --no-newline --select-directories --with-directory "$TMD"`); if (-d $rv){ # dir selected: need to append name my $out=`$CD standard-inputbox --text "$TMD" --informative-text "Enter the name of the file" --no-cancel`; my ($name)=($out=~m/.*\n(.*)/m); $rv.="/$name"; } chomp(my $file = $rv); exit unless $file; # user cancelled print <<HERE my \$outfile = "$file"; open OUT , ">\$outfile" or die "Outfile: \$outfile\\n\$!"; select OUT; # print to OUT filehandle by default HERE ' Input: None Output: Replace selected text Key Equivalent: command-option-ctrl O ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bundle Documentation

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, During the last couple of weeks I have not been able to comepletely follow all the stuff going on in this mailinglist. I completely missed the introduction of the "view as HTML" feature. I noticed a couple of references to it and have seen that some people use it now in their bundles. However, when I wanted to get into it, I found that bundles are not really documented. Could people perhaps put some documentation on the wiki about their bundles? But an even better way would be to have some help/description feature for bundles within TM...Allan, what's your take on that?

Atomic save and Fugu

by Fred B.

Just so you know: Today I noticed TM didn't send the file back to Fugu anymore on save. (It can be weird when you think you saved files when, in fact, you didn't!) After reinstalling TM, rebooting, repairing permission, etc., I remembered I had enabled "atomic save" earlier. This was the problem, everything back to normal when it's unchecked. I don't know if the problem is in Fugu or TM. Shouldn't TM falls back to normal writes? Anyway, here is a log entry in case it helps: ------------- 2005-02-09 03:51:15.255 TextMate[555] initWithOptions: { auxiliaryFileInfo = { customPath = "sftp://fatal@10.0.0.115/temp/test.txt"; fsref = <NSAppleEventDescriptor: fsrf($FF9C80000013A3280013A3270000000000000000000000000000000000000000… $) 2005-02-09 03:51:19.086 Fugu[528] coerceToDescriptorType typeFileURL failed. 2005-02-09 03:51:20.822 Fugu[528] Couldn't coerce descriptor to typeFSS -------------- I know, it's late here.

"Find in Project..." problem with special characters & regular expressions

by Bryce Thornton

The "Find in Project..." feature has been acting oddly when searching for strings with "special" characters in them. I have the "Regular Expression" box unchecked and the "Ignore Case" box checked. I have a project with ~100 files in it. About 75 of those contain the variable $ROOT_DIR. When I do a "Find in Project..." and search for $ROOT_DIR I get three results back. I really can't figure out what is special about the three that are returned. Is the "$" causing a problem? I would think that if you are not using regular expressions that all special characters would be automatically escaped. That's my first problem. Here's the second: I then tried "*\$ROOT_DIR*" with the regular expression box checked just to see what would happen. I realize that this doesn't make much sense as a regular expression. I know next to nothing about them. TextMate proceeded to give me the spinning beach ball for about five minutes. My system became unresponsive. TextMate eventually bombed. I opened TextMate again and repeated the search. Same results. Should there be error checking on the regular expression before it is executed to prevent things like this? Bryce

Re: [TxMt] TextMate friendly FTP clients

by Developer Relations

Hi all, I couldn't help but chime in here. As noted, Yummy FTP supports remote editing via SFTP and FTP, and supports TextMate directly using the ODB editor suite. It will also make a transfer completion sound of your choice. Yummy FTP also allows additional editors to be defined other than the standard TexMate/ BBEdit/etc. Additional editors can be selected by using the Edit With option, so this might be what you're looking for in order to edit with jEdit, for example. We've also recently implemented the ability to specify remote editors per file name extension, but that is only in the beta we're working on right now. This will allow you to just double- click a file and edit it with the remote editor you have previously chosen. Of course, Yummy FTP isn't free but $25 isn't too painful :-) Sorry for the advertisement. I hope the information is helpful.

"Smart" Typing

by James Edward Gray II

Hello. I'm a new TextMate user, still trying to get the hang of using an automation heavy editor. I've run into a few questions as I'm getting use to the program and even managed to answer most of them myself, with a little playing around. One is still tripping me up though, so I thought I would ask. I have Smart Typing turned on and am trying to figure out if I like it. Most of the time, it's fine, but there are times when I don't want the pair, like the apostrophes in this sentence. Is there any way to get it not the add the closing marker for a single keystroke?

Command Chooser?

by Brad Miller

Allan, Here's a suggestion that came to me this morning. How about applying the wonderful logic in the file chooser to commands and macros? I was thinking of it being very much like Quicksilver for TextMate commands. I love it that the number of Bundles for TextMate is growing so quickly! What I don't like is that there is very little structure to the allocation of keyboard shortcuts. Its very quickly becoming emacs-like in the number of option-command-control-foo key-combos one must remember. I know they are all there in the menu system, but I prefer to not use the mouse very much when I'm writing and programming. One thing I always like about emacs, was that I could type Meta-x and type in the the beginning of a command, hit space for auto-complete, maybe a couple more characters, and I would have the command I was looking for. I used this technique for a whole host of commands that I used fairly often, but not often enough to remember the keyboard shortcut. I think you could easily go one better by applying your matching algorithm to macros and commands. Another thing that I liked was that emacs was self-teaching in that it would often tell me the keystroke needed to activate the command I just typed, so that after seeing it a bunch of times I would just start to remember.

Re: [TxMt] Inline PDF

by Rob Walton

Woah, quick response! Thanks. I would like to be able to preview latex equations as I'm writing. I really like writing latex, but can't wrap my mind around all the brackets in latex equations. There is a service called "equation service". In the text editor, you highlight the text you would like previewed and call the equation service. It cuts the highlighted text into the clipboard, turns it into a pdf, and then copies this into the clipboard and pastes it into your document. The result is that you see a typset equation rather than a mess of latex code. When it creates the pdf, it stores the latex code you orignially typed in the pdf. This way, equation service can be recalled on the pdf preview, this time replacing it with the orignal latex code so you can edit it. Under emacs this functionality is provided by an addon called preview-latex which is brilliant ( http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/ ). However, I'm fed up with emacs and would like to try a cocoa based editor, as they are way more easily applescripted. The webpage for equation service is http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/EquationService/ - Rob P.S. (I may have imagined PDF Replacement Services. The equation service home page talks of a program either supporing or not "text -> PDF services". I have looked on apples developer site and found no reference of this.)

Feature Request: Open Folder via Command-O

by Torsten Becker

Hi Allan, I know, you probably have to do other things concerning TM development but I have one thing which I would like to see because it now very often annoyed me: Opening a Folder via the Open-Menu. It happens very often that I want so open several files at once but the only way to do this is to mark them all in the open-dialog via Command-A, but then I can't browse the sub-folders. So my request is that I can fire up the open-dialog via Command-O (like ATM) and then also can select folders and start a new project this way. -- Torsten Becker (novaa on freenode)

Feature Request: Open Recent Files/Projects implementation idea

by Mats Persson

I know this is probably on Allan's To Do list, and was mentioned not too long ago by others, but I haven't found the actual implementation discussed anywhere. So here goes my 2 cent worth of ideas. I think the ideal implementation of this feature is just like the Apple implementation in the Apple Menu's - Recent Items. The applications (= projects) and the files (= TM single non-project files opened) are separated as sub-menus of the menu item. Nice, clean and easy to use. The settings for the number of items stored in each sub-menu should then be set in the Preferences window, something along the line of what is in System Preferences - Appearance -> Number of Recent Items: For the past month or so I've been working with 3 projects opened at all times. Then over the weekend I closed them down and looked through some new code from a friend. As a result, I now have to 'go hunting' for the .tmproj files through the Finder. I know, it doesn't stop me from working, but this is just some basic 'spit & polish' to correct a minor workflow problem in an otherwise fantastic app. Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

Export selected text to HTML?

by Chris Ruzin

Hello all, I started using TextMate 1.1b4 and really like it so far. I'm just beginning to learn about Ruby and TextMate is much better than BBEdit with it. I was looking around the Web for some example code, and saw on someone's blog that they had colorized Ruby code examples with line numbers. I emailed them to ask them how they did it, and they told me they used Vim. They said in Vim, you open the file you want colorized and type ":runtime! syntax/2html.vim". Vim will then split the window with the original in the upper half and the colorized HTML version in the bottom half. He then copies what he needs out of that and pastes it into his blog entry. He says it will work with any language Vim understands. What I'm wanting to know is if there's a way to do something like this in TextMate? Perhaps a command? I'm not familiar with the inner workings or power toys in TextMate, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris

With the recent introduction of Apple's Pages software I have been reading a slew of reviews that point out it's short-comings however this has also prompted people to write in solutions for them.

folding behaves very irregularly

by Bruno Bronosky

I have not found any documentation on how folding works. From what I can tell it is a combination of character pairs and indentation. I'm have great stress trying to make sense of a PHP class which I did not write. I cannot make sense of it in BBEdit which I have always used for code. (I stumbled on TextMate today.) TM would help greatly with it's folding feature, if I could properly fold functions. However the class author used inconsistant indentation (for which he should be tortured) which is causing folds to begin with the { of a function declaration and the } of an if clause. I have checked using BBEdit's Text>Balance feature (which is very cool and should be added to TM) and the {'s and }'s are properly balanced. But, since the indentation sucks, I can't fold. Please correct the folding behavior. Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

Please add a feature similar to BBEdit's "Balance"

by Bruno Bronosky

For those of you who have not used it, BBEdit amid all bloat actually has a few useful features. One extremely useful feature is the "Balance" command. It simple creates a selection that extends from the beginning of a markup tag (ie. "<div>"), brace (ie "{"), or bracket (ie "[") to the closing markup tag, brace, or bracket. The most important part is that it accurately accounts for nesting. This feature seems expendable on perfected code, but it is a life saver when you have several nested control structures and you have forgotten a closing brace. It is also very useful when trying to make sense of Microsoft-proofed HTML with several nested divs and no whitespace. The balance command can be call from the "Text" menu item, or by double clicking an opening or closing brace, bracket or the GT/LT of a markup tag. Please add this simple feature. Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

Help and Suggestion for Renaming

by Eric Curtis

I noticed that my hand automatically went to the enter key on the numeric key pad to start renaming a file in the drawer. I have a feeling that I could probably map that key to the function although I am not sure how to do it. Any Ideas? The suggestion would be do have the above as a default behavior if it can be done. Sincerely, Eric C

IRC channel: #textmate on freenode.net

by Sune Foldager

I have arranged for an IRC channel to be set up for TextMate discussions of any sort. I created it on freenode.net, which is usually for open-source projects, but the requirements fit the purpose I had in mind well enough. A list of IRC servers for this network can be found here: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml ..and the channel is called, of course, #textmate Hope to see some people there soon :-). -- Sune. :: the Cottage of Lost Play. :: http://cyanite.org

Newbie question about this mailing list

by Bruno Bronosky

I have been writing feature requests to the mailing list. As an application developer and project manager I have had to read, write, revise, and follow hundreds of functionality specs. I write my requests with functionality spec verbiage. Is this a proper use of this mailing list? Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

please add the ability to fold a selection

by Bruno Bronosky

When any selection is made, the left margin should gain a "begin fold" icon similar to the ones that appear next to the start of a foldable chunk of code. It would differ in appearance by replacing the dark gray color with the highlight color. Clicking this icon would fold the entire selection into a single fold. Unfolding the chunk of code would reselect that chunk of code only if another selection did not exist. Please add this feature. Thank you, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--

svnX 0.7 : fileMerge between Subversion revisions from TextMate

by Dominique PERETTI

Hi to all, I finally took 2 minutes to make the yet unreleased 0.7 version of svnX available to you (not public yet). You can download it here : http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/_files/svnX0.7.zip It has a new feature : you can invoke it from TextMate (via AppleScript) and be presented with a window with the different revisions of the edited file. Here is an excerpt from the help file (Help menu). Invoking svnX's diff window with Applescript It allows you to use svnX's diff window from another application. Usage : tell application "svnX" to diff /absolute/path/to/the/file TextMate example : osascript -e 'set TM_FILEPATH to get system attribute "TM_FILEPATH"' -e 'tell application "svnX" to diff TM_FILEPATH' You can also invoke FileMerge to compare the file with the pristine copy (without displaying svnX's diff window, actually without even opening svnX) : /usr/local/bin/svn diff --diff-cmd "/Applications/svnX.app/Contents/Resources/svndiff.sh" $TM_FILEPATH > /dev/null More info about svnX here : http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion/svnx/features/ Dominique PERETTI http://www.lachoseinteractive.net

Markdown->Markup->PDF

by Tim Martens

How can automate the process of: piping a Markdown through markdown.pl having it open in an external browser of my choice (preferably Opera 8 beta as it does the best job of honoring print related CSS) grabbing the X/HTML source putting the source into a new TM document Is that even possible. I'm open to other suggestions about going from Markdown to PDF. -t

1.1b4 File Chooser & HTML Output options

by Mats Persson

Having just tried out the new 1.1b4 version, I just have to share a few thoughts. 1. The Search field in the File Chooser window should contain a number of options a la Finder & Mail for how the search algorithm should work. Although it's cool to just type 'td' to get the 'todo.txt' file, but sometimes I want to be able to just use 'str' to find the files that have "string" in them for example. Or doing a find on 'class.' to just have my various classes show up as another example. There are many more. 2. HTML Output Options. The new Bundle Editor is really cool, especially the resizing when switching from "Show as HTML" to "Show in separate window". Although I assume Allan have already thought about this, I just have to ask. Is there any chance that we could have a few options there as well ? Such as Default Format: None - <pre> - <code> - <p> - (??) (if it's not obvious what I mean, just let me know) Default HTML File: 'Choose file field' / path If we could have a default HTML file that the command output could be replaced into. Sort of like this: <html> <stylesheet> <body> $TM_COMMAND_OUTPUT </body> </html> I know that we could create files and code in our commands to do most of this, but it won't be as elegant. Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

web preview and PHP include_paths

by max＠machinate.org

Hello, This is my first post to this list, so I hope it's ok. been using Texmate for web site development with PHP for a while now and love it. However, I always preview pages in Safari because of the limitations of the included web preview. With the new html output of the latest beta I was reminded again of it, but found the same problems. I think the issue of it closing when you change tabs has already been brought up, which is really annoying if you want to edit a css file, for example. Could its behaviour be that it always stays open. If you want to preview another page, it could then open as separate tab in the preview window. Only the selected tab need be automatically refreshed, but you could easily switch to your other previewed pages. Another thing that I'm not sure if any one has mentioned is that when you pipe it through the PHP binary, require() and include() don't work when the files have a relative path to the script. Any apache server env variables are also bypassed so you can't reference 'SCRIPT_URI' etc. I don't really want to change every script to have absolute paths, as that becomes rather inflexible. would be glad to hear any solutions anyone might have. thanks, max
