Re: GUI, Bundles & Snippets Structure Revisited [LONG-ish]

by Craig Sawyer

Maybe a 'View' option, that opens in Preview, and a 'Edit' option that opens based on creator code. (as right click/context menu items) Then just a pref, that says 'open' = View or Edit? So even if you have the default 'open'(double click) = View(which would be a good default), you can right click, and say edit if you need to. Hope this helps, -Craig On Nov 20, 2004, at 5:00 AM, textmate-request(a)lists.macromates.com wrote: > 1b) Project Drawer & Image files > > Working mainly with web development and graphics/images, I think it > would be great if you could see the image displayed in the main editor > window, or alternatively opened by Preview rather than any other app > regardless of the Creator Code of the image file when you double-click > the filename.

[Req] New File | Open File in Dock Menu

Text selection

by James Andrews

Hi Allan et al, I have a small request: Following the recent enhancement allowing you to enlarge a selection by using shift in combination with the arrow keys, it would be nice if similar behaviour was exhibited when using the mouse. To clarify, I'd like to be able to double click on a word, hold the shift key and then single click outside the selection to enlarge it. At present, when using the mouse rather than keys to enlarge the selection, it always takes the start of the selection as the insert point rather than switching the insertion point based on whether the new selection point is before or after the current selection. This means that trying to enlarge a selection by shift-clicking before a selection actually results in removing the existing selection rather than enlarging it. Thank you for your time. James

Sorting File Contents and Selections

by Stuart Wheeler

I'm still very much a TextMate (and mailing list) newbie, so haven't quite got my head around everything - apologies if this is already some built-in thing I am unaware of or if this has already been covered before. Here's something that might prove a minor challenge to my fellow list subscribers (well it does to me). I have a file which is essentially just a list of things. I haven't been overly diligent in keeping things in alphabetical order and now I want to sort the file. I know that I can use the command line and use a UNIX sort on it. In Vim I used to invoke the ! and run it through sort, outputting the results back into the buffer without having to leave Vim. So, is there a way to do it within TextMate? What if I only wanted to sort a selection and overwrite that selection with the sorted version of the selection? What about a reverse sort? Column selections? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Icons in drawer?

by Chris Jenkins

Ive noticed that icons in the drawer for files TM doesn't recognize always seem to be the generic document icon rather than the one the Finder uses, does TM need to have the icons built in or can it read them from the Finder when necessary?, I seem to remember earlier version did this, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, Id quite like my .fla and .swf files to have nice icons, Id be happy to supply the icons if they need to be built in, Allan?...

Allan, I have attached icons for .fla, .swf and image files (.jpg, .gif etc) if you need them.

Creator codes

by Allan Odgaard

How do people feel about having TextMate set the creator code for saved files? 1) should it do it only for files w/o extension? 2) for specific (user setable) extensions? 3) have a global on/off switch? 4) be setable in the save panel? The "problem" with creator codes is that they take precedence over file extension, so if for example you save a .html file with TextMate, that file will open in TextMate (if double clicked) even if you've instructed Finder to use OmniWeb to open HTML files (but you can change it pr. file though). So creator codes does IMHO break the "change all" feature of Finder. Personally I'd probably like #1 from above, maybe #2, though I generally do prefer my files to have a blank creator code.

shebang interpreters for matching syntax?

Not sure if this has come up as an issue yet ... When defining files to match a language syntax ( currently fileTypes = ( ext1, ext2 ) in plists), what about defining a file match by way of shebang/interpreter? Is there a way to do this that I just don't know about? kumar

Open in FTPeel Command

by Toby Sterrett

I'm trying to get a command set up in Textmate to open the current file in FTPeel in order to invoke the Magic Mirror command (uploads the file to the appropriate directory on the appropriate server automatically). I found this script to do it in VIM: > " FTPeel > fun! MagicMirrorIt() > let path = substitute(expand("%:p"), '/', ":", "g") > let nice_path = substitute(path, "^:", "", "") > execute('!osascript -e "tell application \"FTPeel\" to open \"' . > nice_path . '\""') > endfun > > map :call MagicMirrorIt() Basically, it's as easy as calling an Applescript with the command 'tell application "FTPeel" open $TM_FILEPATH' except FTPeel has a bug with converting the unix filepath to a "mac" filepath (users:toby:home:sites:file) because it leaves the initial / in the mac path...i guess what the VIM command above does is remove the first / (i think)...how would I go about doing this as a Textmate command? Thanks for your help! Toby

Non-project files

by Drew McLellan

From the b4 release notes: > Navigation -> Go to Header/Source now also work for non-project windows (although the plan is to remove the non-project windows). I'm understanding this to mean that in future it will be necessary to create a project for everything. Is that right? If so, the input I'd offer is that this is how Dreamweaver worked for years. You had to define a 'site' before you could make even the smallest edit to a file. It was a PITA and eventually Macromedia agreed to change the behavior. TextMate has scratch projects though, which I hope would avoid the situation whereby the user needs to jump through hoops just to make a small edit to a file they don't usually work with. drew.

Find across project file listing persistance

by Chris Messina

Character and Word Counting of Highlighted Text

by Stuart Wheeler

I've just discovered TextMate and am seriously considering buying a license. I have tried numerous text editors in the hope that I would find one that really delivered. Many seem to be ports from other platforms and haven't truly embraced the capabilities of OS X. SubEthaEdit was closest I had come to something I liked (especially the price), but it still lacks a lot and frankly I don't need the collaborative editing. People kept telling me that BBEdit was the ultimate editor but despite claims it was totally rewritten for OS X, it's still Carbon (despite BareBones' earlier claims of it being in Cocoa - the black and white spinning disk is a bit of a Carbon giveaway), and it really didn't strike me as such. It seems like a throwback to the pre-OS X era (and is therefore bound to have plenty of pre-OS X cruft). I tried it several times and just couldn't get on with it. The file drawer was klunky and on several occasions I had huge problems saving and opening files. It's visually unappealing with its stupid little buttons. It feels bloated and a little buggy. Another major downside I found was that as I had previously tried earlier versions of BBEdit, the demo period would suddenly end without warning and any work I was doing was suddenly lost. Thanks, BareBones, not the best way to woo a prospective license owner! The only thing I did like about BBEdit was its ability to tell me how many words and characters I was highlighting. Today I read the following article on MacDevCenter about text editors: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/11/05/text_editors.html? page=1 I decided to take a look at TextMate and Smultron. In Smultron I instantly liked the way I could see exactly how many words and characters I had highlighted. This is important to me as I have a number of forms with specific length fields I write text for. It's also a fairly standard feature of many editors. In fact I prefer the way it is done in Smultron over BBEdit. There are a few other things in Smultron I liked, but when I fired up TextMate I was instantly blown away. It just felt right. Now all I need to do is work out how to determine the number of characters and words I am highlighting (without manually counting them). Is it possible to do that in TextMate at the moment? If I can find that out then I'll buy a license. Regards, Stuart

Tracking the Carat Between Tabs

by Chris Messina

I've also noticed that when I'm working in a project, and I make a selection that requires horizontal scrolling and then switch back and forth between another tab, that TM forgets the scrollbar X, Y coordinates. For now I can hit Cmd-J, but it would be nice if I didn't have to refocus every time I switch between tabs. Chris -- Do the evolution.

Awkward Find in Project Behavior

by Chris Messina

Currently when you do an extended Find across a project and choose to replace text, it is not obvious that your changes aren't saved when you close the dialog box, which would be the expected bahavior. It wasn't until I had uploaded all the files in the project and was about to close the project (I had already closed all of the tabs) when I was asked if I wanted to save the changed documents! I had to go through to whole upload process again to commit my changes! This behavior should be much more transparent to the user--either by automatically saving changes to files that are not open in tabs or to have a check box on the find/replace in project dialog that offers to save changes automatically.

Save as... and File Encoding

by jose.campos+tm＠galacsys.com

Hi All, When "Saving as" a document using for instance "iso-latin-1" file encoding, if the document contains a character that can not be saved with this encoding, the file is automaticaly saved in UTF-8. OK, that's the same with TextEdit. But the point is, we have no warning about it, which could be confusing. Could we have a message box that display : "your document cannot be saved in <the encoding you want>, so what do you want to do : [] save as UTF-8 [] edit your document to change exotic character(s)" And could we have too an utility to track down those characters that prevent the file from being saved in the chosen encoding? Or does RegEx Find/Replace allow it? And (last) for HTML file, when saving, could TM match the <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=xxx"> with the File Encoding? Have a nice day, -- Jo <W:00°04'37" ; N:47°15'36"> 1....'....12.....'....24.....'....36.....'....48.....'....60.....'....72

tab emulation only at start of line

some bugs and requests for the project drawer

by kumar mcmillan

I know you are working heavily on the project drawer and may know this, but FYI ... Bug: TextMate does not consistently move files (on the hard disk) as they are moved in the project drawer. Reproduce: Set up a project with several existing files added from a directory, lets say ~/Sites/lib/php/report . they are not grouped in the project drawer, just loose. Then, in the project drawer there is a group called unit_tests, which exists on disk as ~/Sites/unit_tests. I have a file named settings.ini that is from the reports directory but not grouped anywhere in the project drawer. I like to alphabetize my list of files so I can easily find them later, which means dragging the files into place manually. in doing so, say I accidentally move settings.ini file into the group unit_tests. What happens is that TextMate physically moves settings.ini into ~/Sites/unit_tests. Back in the project drawer when I notice the mistake, I move it out of the unit_tests group but TextMate does not physically move the file out of ~/Sites/unit_tests back into ~/Sites/lib/php/reports, like it should. This confuses TextMate (and me) and when i repopen a project, the files are back in unit_tests. aside from that ... what about the ability to set a root directory for the project drawer so the project drawer can be an instance of the mac os x finder in list mode? Maybe you could have several roots if your project contained files scattered around the hard disk (which doesn't seem like a typical scenario to me). if nothing else, I would like to have the option to alphabetize the project drawer. This would just make dealing with large amounts of files easier. in any event the project drawer is still very useful in its current state. thanks, Kumar

embedding snippets; find in macros

by otheraccount＠verizon.net

Hi all, Unless I'm doing something terribly stupid, it seems it's impossible to use a snippet while in another snippet without losing the tab placeholders of the first... Is that right? That'd be sort of disappointing, especially since snippets are part of what makes TextMate elegant and customizable---would that be hard to fix? And a related automating-stuff point: Would it be possible for find operations performed by macros not to wipe out the previous find string? This too I think would immediately make lots of things possible that were only semi-possible before... (Alternatively, you could get the same functionality by allowing commands to select text and move the cursor without the mediation of the separate window, which would be even cooler---you could do stuff like selecting the current sentence or the current block---but seems like it might be a larger undertaking...)

project won't handle unknown file

by kumar mcmillan

wondering if this is a bug or intended somehow ... I opened a file, params.ini, to edit in TextMate. TextMate handled it fine besides no sytax highlighting since none has been defined presumably. But when I added it to a project with other PHP files, the file would not open in TextMate. For example, I clicked on it once from the project drawer and nothing would happen. if I double-clicked on it the file opened in SubEthaEdit (which I think was a decision made by the Finder). Shouldn't undefined text files still open in TextMate from the project drawer? Do I need to create a syntax plist as a workaround in the meantime? TextMate 1.01. thanks, kumar

snippets for MySQL; escaping "`"?

by Paul Nordstrom August

I'm about to embark on a lengthy and complex project (changing 30-odd FileMaker tables into MySQL). Usually I use the (excellent) CocoaMySQL for table creation but I thought I'd explore using snippets in TM... Basically it works like a charm (create table, add date field, add varchar, add int...), though I haven't tested it vs CocoaMySQL to see which will be faster (as CMS offers more tweaking of the field definitions). But I figure I can whack out the fields in TM then import the whole .sql file into CMS for the tweaking, adding indexes, etc. > CREATE TABLE textmate ( > textmate_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, > tm_user varchar(50) default NULL, > user_no int(5) default NULL, > user_email varchar(50) default NULL, > entry_date date default NULL, > PRIMARY KEY (textmate_id) > ) ENGINE=InnoDB; The one thing I can't manage to sort out is including e.g. "`textmate_id`" since the "`" is used in the snippets to evoke a shell command... I tried escaping with "\`" but that didn't work. Am I missing something obvious? In any case, it's clear that snippets can revolutionize coding :) Wish I had more time to explore... embedding shell commands could be fantastic... Paul

[TextMate] Problem changing keyboard shortcuts with System Preferences

by Chris Brierley

As the help file suggests, I've tried changing some keyboard shortcuts with System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts. I'm trying to change the following items in the Text menu: Reformat Paragraph Reformat & Justify Unwrap Paragraph I can get Reformat & Justify to work but not Reformat Paragraph and Unwrap Paragraph. I suspect it's because both of those items change their name depending on wether text is selected. I.e., when text is selected they become Reformat Selection and Unwrap Selection. I've tried setting the same shortcut for both, e.g., Reformat Paragraph and Reformat Selection to try to cover both menu states, but it doesn't work and the System Preferences warns me of an error because of the duplicate shortcut key. Does anyone know how/if I can make that work? Or am I just out of luck because of the way the item changes names? Incidentally, I've worked around it by creating a local KeyBindings.dict, I'd just prefer to do it with the System Preferences so I don't have to always keep my KeyBindings.dict up-to-date between version changes. Thanks much for any ideas!

Edit in TextMate service

by Allan Odgaard

I created a service that adds “Edit in TextMate” to the Services sub menu. The key equivalent is command-escape (but there's an OS bug which requires the menu to have been open at least once before the key equivalent works). It opens a TextMate window with the selected text, when you save and then close the TextMate window, the modified text will be sent back to the application. There's currently a 3 hours timeout (the application will have the busy wheel until you close the TextMate window). Place the service in ~/Library/Services -- you need to log out/in for the services menu to be rebuilt. If you launch the service manually, the service should be available for new programs or programs which hadn't already had the services menu built (but restart if it doesn't work). If you use the service from within TextMate, it may hang (until you manually break the service) -- I'll add a workaround for this. It currently can only handle one edit task at a time, and it requires at least version 1.0.2b3 of TextMate. The reason that it's an external service and not built into TextMate has to do with the way services work -- I may be able to find a combined solution later. It uses a temporary file for exchanging the text, this is always named “Data from <application>.txt” and placed in “/tmp/<uid>/TemporaryItems” -- it doesn't remove the file afterwards and it doesn't ensure that the file didn't already exist.

project over FTP

by M Spreij

Unless I missed something (which, today, wouldn't surprise me in the least..) it's not possible to create a project from a remote folder over (S)FTP, is that correct? From what I understand of FTP and ODB this won't be easy to implement? Has anyone found a way to mount FTP folders as regular folders in the finder (with read/write, not Apple's readonly way)? A workaround I got was to open the files seperately, then dragging the window's icons to a new project window (or if you open its parent folder from the titlebar you can drag all the opened files to TM), selecting the files in the project window once so they get a tab, and then you can close the original windows - edit/saves will update the version on the server. If you close the original window without 'tabbing' the file, the temporary file will be removed (and editing will not be possible). Regards, Martin

where are the tabs?

by Michael Stillwell

I'm clearly doing something wrong here but--how on earth do I turn tabs on?! Every time I open a new file (cmd-O) it opens in a new window! I've looked through all the menu items, searched the wiki, help *and* the mailing list and but I'm still tab-less. (I'm embarrassed to say I can't figure out how to activate the "dynamic file outline" working either--so I'm actually not able to use features number 1 and 2 on the homepage...) -- http://beebo.org +44 78 2118 9049

Syntax highlight - regexp questions

by hadley wickham

Hi, I'm having a go a writing a syntax highlighting format for markdown (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/), and I've run into a couple of problems. The first is the lack negative look behind assertions which makes matching escaped sequences (eg. * \* *) a lot more complicated. I can use begin, end and swallow, but there isn't any way to limit these to single line sequences. Are there any plans for including them in the future? The second problem, which I haven't been able to overcome, is matching multiline sequences that end with (eg.) two newlines. For example: begin = "\\*"; end = "\\n{2,}" doesn't match what I'd expect. Is this a known problem? Thanks, Hadley

minor suggestions (1.0.2b3)

by Eric Hsu

Hi Allan, A few little suggestions. 1. Find dialogue should remember 'regular expression' setting between invocations. 1a. Cool if Find dialogue remembered the last few searches and replaces. 2. Option to subtly highlight current line. 3. FYI. On occasions I can't quite duplicate, the last 'pixel' on the right is not displayed. The document gets into that state and resizing the window doesn't help. I'll try to collect more data on that. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

show matching double quotes to eager?

by M Spreij

If I have a bit of text like $var1 = "some text"; $var2 = "some more text"; cursor-keying past the second quote will briefly light up the first, but the third quote will briefly lite up the second (and the fourth the third again). Seems odd? But keying past a quote where it's matching quote is not visible, the whole *window* flashes yellow.. This happens when working with syntax coloring for HTML (ASP) and HTML (PHP) at least, probably others. Can anyone reproduce? Regards, Martin

CTRL-k behaviour

by Curtis Schofield

Preview & Reload in Safari, Firefox & IE Commands

by Mats Persson

Hi All, Just wanted every web developer to know about these scripts/commands that I have just created and available here: [ http://wiki.macromates.com/textmate/show/Howtos ] 1. Preview in Browser: Safari, Firefox and IE5 These commands will take the current file and then load it in a new browser window. Works with both local files [ file://path/to/file.html ] and web server based files [ http://www.somesite.com/file.html ] as long as you create a new project Shell Variable called TM_PROJ_SITEURL with the full URL. Please note. Still some issues with Safari not being able to open a new window on its own to sort out. 2. Reload Browser: Safari, Firefox, IE5 and All 3 browsers. These commands will do a reload of the current page in each browser separately or all at the same time. Hope they are useful to you all. Kind regards, Mats

You've helped me before on the Flash mailing list (many years ago now), so I thought I should help you as far as I can tonight (it's 9.30pm here) The problems you are having is to do with the AppleScript syntax and limited AS support in Firefox. The following Applescript works in Script Editor and just needs to be converted into TM working code. Don't have time to do so tonight : ( set theActiveURL to "http://www.macromedia.com/" tell application "Firefox" activate OpenURL theActiveURL end tell You would use $TM_FILE_PATH to get the path to the file and load it as a local non-parsed file. IF you are previewing a file through a web server, then I guess you need to add a Project Shell Variable (info btn in project drawer when no file is selected) with the URL prefix and then use a bit of fancy footwork to add the variables together into a full URL. I'll think about it over the weekend, but can't promise a solution, but I'm sure you - and many others - will have worked it out before then. : ) Hope that helped you a bit on the way.

Back and forward for switching files?

by Wayne Larsen

The tab metaphor for opened files works fairly well, especially if you make the effort to open related files next to each other. The tabs should shrink smaller imo, but that's a separate issue. The question I have is -- if you are working on two files that are far apart in the tab bar, is there any shortcut for switching between them? My thought is that the program could maintain a history list of viewed files, and then a key binding could be assigned to navigate back and forward over that history list. Could this be added? (Or does this capability exist somehow?) Cheers, Wayne

wrapping tabs?

by Justin Henry

Hello, Is there a way to adjust the height of the tab bar and force the tabs to "wrap" (similar to how UltraEdit does it), rather than having to click on the double arrows and select from the dropdown on the right when the tabs spill over? If not, is this something that could go into a future release? Thanks, -Justin

'undoing' for days [gripe]

by kumar mcmillan

Sorry to gripe, but pressing undo after writing a line of code is like trying to walk up a downward moving escalator. I know it's been said before but here is another plea to the steadfast, cooperative developers: at least consider an option to let undo step back word by word instead of character by character (what would be the nicest is to step back in logical "chunks" the same way bbedit does). thanks, Kumar

New Folding Icons (and Bookmark Icon)

by Simon Dorfman

Hello everyone. I tweaked the folding icons again. Still using the Stoplight color metaphor, but made them a little less saturated and a little smoother around the edges. I made the Bookmark Icon blue too. Attached is a screenshot and the required PNGs. To install: 1. control-click on TextMate in the Finder and select "Show Package Contents" 2. double-click on "Contents" in the window that opens 3. double-click on "Resources" 4. copy my replacement pngs to this Resources folder. Accept the dialog to replace the existing pngs. Feel free to add this to the wiki. Simon

'select line' not seeing wrap

by M Spreij

Cmd-Shift-L for select line only selects the physical line, not the logical; if the line was wrapped it will not select the second part. This also causes the default Duplicate Line macro to not work correctly on wrapped lines I think. Is this easily fixable?

Text selection

by James Andrews

Hi Allan, When I double-click on a PHP variable name it selects the whole word (without the preceding $) as expected. Because I want to select the whole thing I automatically do a Shift-Left Arrow to add the $ but something strange happens and I get about half the word selected without the $. Any chance of fixing this? My expected behaviour is whichever arrow key (left or right) you first start using after selecting the text should allow you to expand or contract the selection at the appropriate end. Also a suggestion (which BBEdit supports) is that a second shift double click on a different word should select everything between and including the two words. Thanks for your time, James

Refuses to open SVG documents in project?

by Robin Berjon

Hi, I am trying to edit some SVG documents. When I open them one at a time they work fine. When I try to open them in a project (to get tabs even though I don't want the drawer and stuff :) it doesn't work. They don't display, and if I click or double-click them in the drawer they try to open in the browser instead of in the editor. Is there a list of known bugs to not dupe reports? I couldn't find one, but then I'm rather tired today. Thanks, -- Robin Berjon

Tab Always Indent and indent-region

by Travis P

Two marvelously useful features that I use heavily for programming all kinds of language in Emacs and XEmacs are: - Tab Always Indent: when this option is on, hitting the TAB key always just indents the current line - indent-region: re-indent the selection I see you already have editing over sftp in your todo for 1.1. TextMate looks like a good start and might find a nice niche. It's a bit rough around the edges at the moment. And I find it hard to work without the two indent features I mention above. Maybe I should add them to the Feature requests page? -Travis

Tabs without a project?

by Robin Berjon

Hi, one feature I would really love to have would be the ability to have tabs without needing a project (if there is I really couldn't find it). I really like tabs but I only occasionally work using projects. Having the option to say "any files I open are opened as a tab in the current window" would positively rock. Also, having a way of telling TM that you want all your windows full screen at 0,0 would be really nice and far more usable than what the default OSX behaviour provides. -- Robin Berjon

Mailing list rules

by Allan Odgaard

There is really only one rule (apart from normal netiquette) I want you to uphold: When you write a _new_ letter to this mailing list, _don't_ use “reply” on an existing letter (to get the To: filled in). It screws up threading!!! If you're using Mail.app, you can control-click the “To” of an existing letter and select “New Message” to get a compose window with the “To” header filled in. Threading is a very useful feature, and especially for me with this mailing list, since it's basically an archive of user feedback, and I'd like for the table-of-contents to show _every_ thread, which it currently doesn't, when one thread contain 2-3 _different_ subjects, because people have used reply (then it only show the first subject). So PLEASE remember _not_ to use reply (for new letters)!!!

Selecting column with keyboard and navigating project questions

Hi, Is it possible to do a "columnar selection" with the keyboard only? Hold Alt while moving the cursor would be the logical shortcut for such a thing I think (it doesn't seem to be used for other things?).

Selecting whole "words"

by Chris Jenkins

Does anyone know if there is any way to manually define what TM considers to be a "word" when double-clicking to select? At the moment a dollar sign does not seem to be part of what TM thinks is a word, and I use these to prefix variable names. I seem to remember that within S-E-E there is some way of defining which characters are legit for variable names or something, is such a thing planned for TM?

Making sub-shells login shells causes problems in the current beta

by Chris Brierley

Allan, I know you made the change to call bash sub-shells with '--login' in response to people's problems getting their PATHs set straight, but I'd like to make an argument towards putting it back the way it was. Philosophically, it's just not how things are supposed to work with bash. The reason .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, .bashrc is only called on an interactive non-login shell, and BASH_ENV is consulted for non-interactive shells is so that you can separate initialization code for these very different conditions. Practically, since, by default, .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, people use it to put initialization code that should only be run when they log in ... knowing that that's the only time it will run. For example, people output stuff to the screen, they mess with their stty settings to get their keyboard working correctly, etc. People don't typically protect any of that stuff in if statements so that it only runs if there is a tty because ... there should always be one in a login shell. By changing TextMate to use a login shell, it now executes all that cruft in the subshell. Every time I run a command it now inserts into the TextMate buffer all this extra stuff from my .bash_profile that I've sent to the screen, and errors from my trying to run stty without a tty. To combat that, I'm going to have to go through my .bash_profile and surround any of that kind of code with if statements that test if there is a tty or not. So, in trying to make things easier for people (not having to set BASH_ENV in their enviroment) I think this is going to wind up making it harder for people (having to escape code with if statements all through their .bash_profile). I would bet that you'll start to see a lot of problems come in related to this. What are your thoughts? Any chance I can convince you to change your mind on this? Thanks much.

two "BBEdit requests"

I'm not sure if maybe people are wiping out >my entry because it is not a syntax highlighter bundle. Hi Kumar, I re-posted your link to the wiki. If it disappears, I'll help you restore it. I suspect it was deleted out of clumsiness and not any secret standards for what should be on the front page. I think the nature of a wiki is that all the users have to evolve standards for how things should be organized and how people should edit. I personally think nothing should ever be deleted. At worst, it should be put in a separate link or 'refactored' by being summarized. I did the last reorganization because (1) most of the front page was obsolete due to Allan's including them in the distribution and (2) someone had incompetently edited the front page to nuke most of the writing people did. It's possible that in restoring the old writing I accidentally lost some post-nuking changes you made (but I did try to check). best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

ODB protocol

I just joined so I apologize if this is a recurring subject, but I would like to see TextMate become ODB protocol compliant. Specifically, I work with a few other programs like MarsEdit which allow editing of the text in programs like BBEdit or SubEthaEdit.

[TextMate] workarounds for lack of (s)ftp/external editing support?

by Raena Armitage

All I want for Christmas is world peace, an end to hunger, and for TextMate to either support (s)ftp or be supportive of the external editor thing. As in this: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html I'd become so reliant on Transmit's ability to open a text file in BBEdit, where I could just sit 'save' and have it upload automatically, that having to do it by hand again is really getting up my nose. For the moment, can anyone recommend a way to get around this lack of support? I still have BBEdit, of course, but I'd rather be using TextMate. I'm not so good with shell scripting so I wouldn't know the first place to start where that's concerned. Can anyone help? Regards, Raena

Order of open files window tabs question ??

by Mats Persson

This is another minor/major feature request for Allan : ) The order of the open files windows tabs - in top of project window - has confused me for a while, as the open files have not followed an immediately identifiable method/structure. Having created a simple test project with files named a1,a2, b1, b2 etc etc. I have finally worked it out. Newly opened files will always be added immediately behind the currently selected tab, and not in an alphabetical order nor in a order of opened status which I had kind of assumed it would do just like Safari tabs do. Therefore, could it be possible to implement this as an options preference: 1. follow alphabetical order 2. order of open status (last opened is last in order) IF this could be fixed I would be very grateful, as working with 10+ files open means I have to look through the tab bar for where my opened files has been located. What's the general view on this ? Apologies if this has been discussed earlier without me noticing it. Kind regards, Mats

BTW: Consider this a feature request, > if it's not already an option, and a plea for guidance otherwise. This feature is too "subtle" for me. I have great difficulty finding the matched character. I like the way S-E-E does it: a double click on a paren/brace/bracket selects the contents of the pair. This is very clear and potentially very useful if you want to relocate the text. I *reallyyyy* like putting paired characters around selected text. That has become one of my favourite features. It makes writing nested conditionals very easy. No more counting pairs. Selecting text between pairs would be a nice counterpart. Hmmm, would also be useful for single and double quotes too.... Have fun, Carl

As I live in Denmark I commonly use the special danish characters æøå, and has tried to make a command to the php htmlentities(9 command on the selected text: php -r "echo htmlentities('$TM_SELECTED_TEXT', ENT_QUOTES);" But, alas, as in the terminal æøå gets mangled into \303\246\303\270\303\245 before being entitized. <, &, ", ' and other "normal" special chars gets converted just fine. Is there a workaround for the brutal mangling of the innocent danish characters? I know there is already a "Convert to entities" command, but it converts every character, not just the special ones. And its a bit of a chore to select every instance of a special character and running a command on it. Any thoughts? Anyone? Nis "Have-a-nice-day" Sarup. -- BTW: I have 5 Gmail invites.

Rectangular selections paste badly

by Drew McLellan

I just make a rectangular selection of a column about 20 lines long, and copied it to the clipboard. Pasting this further down the document failed to create the extra space needed for the code being pasted, and effectively 'merged' the pasted code with the existing code following the insertion point. Hard to explain. Will screen shot the steps if necessary. drew.

Re: [TxMt] [TextMate] Help With Ruby Command

The double quotes to form the Ruby string make this tricky. I decided to side-step the issue slightly long-windedly by using Ruby's 'date' methods. Note also that this code works on selected text: I have Standard in = selected text and Standard out = Replace selected text. The selected task then gets deleted from the original file and pasted in to the completed.txt file with a checkbox ([X]). I also put the date stamp on the same line as the text to make it easier to grep for; when someone chases me about something I've done, I can double-check when I did it ;-) I'm a Ruby-newbie too, so I'm sure more experienced coders could make it more efficient.

I don't use the full path for Ruby but it works for me. Also whereis ruby returns nothing for me, but I also have Ruby 1.8.1 in /usr/local/bin. my $PATH is: PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current: /usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH" export PATH in .bashrc, but you can also put it in .bash_profile (I 'source' .bashrc in .bash_profile). I found that if I put the default $PATH first, the shell would find the Panther version of Ruby (in /usr/bin) first before my 1.8.1 version in /usr/local/bin, but YMMV. I think this must be a path issue. Does the command work if you specify the full path instead of just ruby? Jackie -- Jackie Chappell jmchappell(a)mac.com

[TextMate] cool tip & bug

by Eric Hsu

1. I think the program rocks. 2. I was writing some HTML and I had the need to have a command that jumped to the *inside* of the next tag. I couldn't figure out how to do this in TM (or any other editor), playing with snippets and Perl shell command ideas until I realized I could record a macro that did: find <(.*?)> as regular expression hit left arrow (to go to start of found selection), hit right arrow (to skip over the <) find [^>]* to select all characters up to the >. It works just great. 3. In some corner of my head I feel like snippets, macros and commands should really all be one type of automation entity. I'm not sure how to do that, but it's a little confusing to have so much power distributed across three different kinds of triggers... 4. Actual interface bug (in my opinion). If you start a selection, say in the middle of the screen, and drag up past the window top, TM should select everything up through the first character of the document. Instead, it only selects up to the first line stopping at the original column. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: OT: Help files and Manuals

LaTeX does really nice PDF and with tex4ht I think the HTML result is also reasonable good. Another option is DocBook, though the PDF is not very nice when using the freeware converters available. Basically you just want to settle on some generic markup language that allows you to convert it to whatever format you desire. Which markup language is best suited probably depends mostly of what type of documentation you're writing, i.e. is it heavily interlinked, using all sorts of "typegraphic" features, footnotes, images etc. Kind regards Allan -- http://macromates.com/ ::: TextMate, OS X text editor http://macromates.com/sigpipe/ ::: Personal weblog about programming

Disable “Indented Paste” from the Behavior menu.

Re: Trying to use key bindings...

Syntax Highlighting regex question

by Jaime Vargas

I am making a syntax module for the Rebol language and I am having trouble getting some keywords to match properly. This expression works: match = "(action!|any-block!|any-function!|)" but it is not ideal for I needed it to work with word boundaries. When I include word boundaries in the regex, the rule is never matched. match = "\\<(action!|any-block!|any-function!|)\\>" I think this is a problem with the exclamation point "!". I have tried using it with these escape sequences: \!, \\!, \041 \\041; with no luck so far. I had the same problem with keywords having the question mark "?" in them, ie: match = "\\<(about|abs|absolute|action?|add|alert|type?)\\>" Ideas would be most welcome. Is there a limitation in the regex engine? Thanks, Jaime

Smart typing in comments

by Drew McLellan

It would be useful if smart typing wasn't active when writing code comments. The reason being you're more likely to be writing natural language sentences than code. for example: <?php // Don't forget the elephants! $elephants = true; ?> with smart typing comes out like this: <?php // Don't forget the elephants!' $elephants = true; ?> What do other's think? drew.
