- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Sam Halliday

Hi all, I have the key F12 bound to the action "showGuessPanel:" in Cocoa, which is then re-implemented by TextMate. However, the correction list is always empty in TextMate when it is full of best guesses in Cocoa apps. Test case: - set up a Cocoa keybinding in ~/Library/KeyBindings/ DefaultKeyBinding.dict (F12 is unicode UF70F) to "showGuessPanel:" - restart TextMate - open a new plain text document (with online spell checking enabled) - type "apparentley " (including the end space to indicate end of word) - press F12 (or the keybinding you previously bound) The guess list is empty, whereas if you do this in a Cocoa app such as TextEdit, the spelling pane would contain the ranked best guesses for the correct spelling of the word. I would actually be happier if there was an action that inserted the "best guess" without requiring feedback, but I'm not aware if such an action exists. Is there perhaps a way to macro this within TextMate? -- Sam

More TM & Wordpress questions

by foodfarmfuture＠gmail.com

Howdy - More newbie questions. Just from a different one this time. I keep getting variations on the following tm_dialog: you have updated the tm_dialog tool to v7 but the Dialog plug-in running is still at v5. tm_dialog: either checkout the PlugIns folder from the repository or remove your checkout of the Support folder. tm_dialog: if you did checkout the PlugIns folder, you need to relaunch TextMate to load the new plug-in. /Users/pedrud/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/ dialog.rb:127:in `load': Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data (PropertyListError) from /Users/pedrud/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/ dialog.rb:127:in `menu' from /Applications/TextMate/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/Support/lib/blogging.rb:603:in `choose_blog_endpoint' from /tmp/temp_textmate.OrBy4u:3 I believe that the clue is in the first line, however, how do I update the dialog plug-in to v7? Thanks in advance for any help. Peder

Re : textmate Digest, Vol 28, Issue 15

by baptiste auguie

Hi, > Running Octave scripts from Textmate using Matlab bundle works > fine, but I'm not sure what sort of output I should use. I have set > it to 'Show as HTML', since I don't want to create a new file for > each run and the tooltip option is too volatile. The only problem > is the text comes out without any line breaks, which is very > painful to read especially when it comes to vectors and matrices. You could try wrapping the output in a <pre> tag Hi, i missed your reply until now for some reason, thanks. I'm not quite sure how to do what you suggest, though. My 'runOctave' command is the following, # just to remind you of some useful environment variables # see Help / Environment Variables for the full list echo File: "$TM_FILEPATH" echo Word: "$TM_CURRENT_WORD" echo Selection: "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" octave -f -q i tried adding the strings "<pre>, pre, | pre, ..." randomly around that, but with no success. Could you give me further hint or link me some help page? I also get a very annoying problem: my code calls some functions located in other files, many of them are not read correctly for some reason and generate an error due to a wrong line ending apparently. If i just open them and save them, it works fine. Since running a code in Octave can call many functions, i'd save a lot of time in fixing that problem.

csh: Bad : modifier in $ (/). /bin/bash: line 4: : command not found

by Jamie Forrest

I am having trouble running a fairly simple Ruby program (below). The error that I get in TextMate is: csh: Bad : modifier in $ (/). /bin/bash: line 4: : command not found Here's the program (from David A. Black's Ruby for Rails book): puts "Reading Celsius temperature value from data file..."; num = File.read("temp.dat"); c = num.to_i; f = (c * 9/5) + 32; puts "Saving result to output file temp.out"; fh = File.new("temp.out", "w"); fh.puts f; fh.close; I'm sure there's an easy fix.

LaTeX: feature suggestions for the LaTeX bundle.

by Maarten Sneep

Hi, This is my first post to this list. I've been a user of BBEdit for many years, and out of curiosity I've decided to check out TextMate. I'm actively involved in the MacTeX effort, mainly for testing, and I've written a set of Applescripts and shell scripts for BBEdit to play nice with LaTeX. For these scripts I made sure they play nice with the tricks TeXShop uses for multi-file projects, since TeXShop is the standard entry-level application that most will use when they start with (La)TeX on Mac OS X, and if you're compatible with the starting point, you make it a lot easier to upgrade to a serious editor. I must say that I like what I've seen so far, but I have some suggestions: Textmate runs either the current file or a file pointed to in some environment variable. I guess there is an easy way to set this variable, but TeXShop uses a method that is not all that hard to implement; I did so for some BBEdit AppleScripts [1]. The core is actually implemented in a (rather ugly) shell script, you may be able to reuse parts of the script. TeXShop defines some meta comments, describing the source, and how it can be typeset. From the help-files: %!TEX TS-program = command -- use command to typeset this file (pdflatex, latex, pdftex, texexec (context), …). If you encounter one of the classic tex formats (latex, tex), you should prepend with simpdf (simpdftex, simpdflatex) to handle some code which will not work in pdftex, like pstricks, simpdf(la)tex will take care of the final conversion to pdf and previewing. %!TEX encoding = encoding -- this file is encoded in encoding (a string using the Apple system names, see below for a list). Since all sane encoding use the same lower 7 bits, you can start reading in US ASCII until this string is encountered, and re-open in the correct encoding. %:Marker -- use Marker in a tags menu. %!TEX root = Document -- Use Document as the root for typesetting the current file. It would be useful to have a "open selection" command that opens a referenced file, and an open master command. I have some of those in my scripts in my bundle [1], for regular tex files, and graphics files (either open the original metapost source, of open the graphic in preview or so). I have a sample project that shows most of the issues, mail me off- list if you are interested. Regards, Maarten Sneep You haven't had real fun with regular expressions until you've written a vi regular expression to search for a vaguely remembered regular expression in a document which describes how they work. References: [1] http://www.nat.vu.nl/~sneep/tex/CompileTeX-BBEdit8.dmg [2] http://mactextoolbox.sourceforge.net/articles/japanese.html List of supported encodings in TeXShop.

[C Bundle] Better C++ Class Constructor, typedef snippet

by Ryan Wilcox

Hello all, I'd like to propose two additions to the C bundle. First, an easy snippet: typedef. I know I can never remember how typedef works, so I propose this snippet: typedef ${1:WhatItIs} ${2:NowCallIt} Second, a modification on an old favorite: the class snippet. Most of the classes I write are subclasses of something else. Except the class snippet echos my colon and subclass declaration. Meaning, I end up with class declarations like: class Customer : public Person { public: Customer : public Person (arguments); virtual ~Customer : public Person (); private: /* data */ }; (Note the ": public Person" echoed on both the constructor line, and the deconstructor like). I suggest modifying the class snippet like so: class ${1:name}${2: : public } $3 { public: ${1:name} (${4:arguments}); virtual ~${1:name} (); private: ${0:/* data */} }; There are a few things I don't like about this, mainly that if you don't inherit from something you know have to type "'class', tab, delete, tab, arguments. It also might handle multiple inheritance poorly, or protected/private inheritance. Maybe some TextMate snippet wizards (or people with more involved C++ classes than I) can revisit my snippet to make it work better with these cases. Hope this helps, _Ryan Wilcox -- Wilcox Development Solutions: <http://www.wilcoxd.com> Toolsmiths for the Internet Age PGP: 0x2F4E9C31

TM & Wordpress

by foodfarmfuture＠gmail.com

I realize that this seems to have been covered a couple of times, however, I am new to most of this and need a better clarification. I've been using TM to write to my blog without any problem. The past two weeks I've been very busy and haven't posted to my blog. Then a couple of days ago I tried to do so and got the following when I try to Fetch Post: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:551:in `do_rpc': Wrong size.

[Ruby--PATH] no such file to load -- ubygems

by Une Bévue

Hey all, I've carefully read the TextMate manual 8.2 search PATH actually my ~/.profile, ~/.MacOS/environment.plist have the same value than the shell i'm using (zsh). in fact i've writen two ruby scripts to update these files according to zsh setup. then, my PATH hits first /opt/local/bin where is theMacPort Ruby. when i use a ruby file with the following shebang : #! /usr/bin/env ruby -wx from TextMate i get : /usr/bin/ruby: No such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError) from terminal : $ ./myscript.rb it works as expected.

Shell used by TM

by Brian Landau

So, I've used DarwinPorts (aka MacPorts) to install the latest version of the BASH shell (v3.1.17). I've set it as my default shell within the NetInfo database. I also have it on the list of acceptable shells in my etc/shells file I'm just wondering how you force TextMate to use this shell as opposed to the built-in BASH shell. When ever I run (done by selecting the "Filter Through Command" menu item in the Text menu. I select input none, and am working in a blank document, and I select "Insert as Text" as the output): echo $BASH_VERSION I get back: 2.05b.0(1)-release In the terminal I get: 3.1.17(1)-release Can anyone help? -Brian

SQL bundle can't find mysql

HTML Bundle: Insert Table Row x Column

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I got some mails regarding to Hypersearch > GetAllMatches which can transform a table written as a TAB b TAB NEWLINE ... to an HTML formatted <table>. The question was whether it is possible to write a snippet like 'table TAB' to insert an HTML table based on the user's dimension input. I wrote such a semi snippet as a command and I want to post it here. Maybe it is also interesting for others. The basic idea is to ask the user for the dimension and style with the help of a Cocoa inputbox. Syntax: row column {style} delimited by whatever (of course no digit;) Examples: 3 x 4 will include three rows and four colums where each <td></td> is written in a separate line 2 3 1 will include two rows and three colums where each <td></td> is written in one line per row, i.e <td></td><td></td><td></td> 4 will include four rows and four colums where each <td></td> is written in a separate line Its scope is text.html and the used shortcut is crtl+shift+t and you can use TAB to jump to the next cell. The only question I have is whether it is possible to invoke this command like a normal snippet via e.g. 'tablexy TAB'. -Hans ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Autotest in TM window

Feature suggestion: undo in selection

by William Uther

Hi, Just another feature suggestion. Use case: I've been making some changes in a source file. I've been making the changes in two locations in the file in parallel, trying to keep them roughly in sync as I make the changes. When I get to the end, I notice that there was a simpler set of changes for one of the two locations. I'd like to be able to select a region of text and 'undo in selection'. It is just like normal undo, but it skips over commands in the undo list that don't affect the selection and only undoes commands that do affect the selection. (For bonus points, the 'skipped' undo commands could be left in the undo queue, so if I start using normal undo then they start being undone.) I suspect that this isn't a particularly common request, so I don't really expect it to ever be implemented, but I thought it was better to mention the idea than not. Be well, Will :-}

Open Document(s) in Running Browser - Does Nothing

by Chip Cullen

Hello all, I'm a new textmate user- my intention is to use it for web development. one of the most useful bundle commands, obviously, would be the "open document in running browsers". however, when i run that command, absolutely nothing happens. textmate just sits there, staring at me. am i missing something? to me, it would seem that if i'm working on an html document, if i were to run that command, it would have safari (which is already running) open the document to show me what it would look like. same goes for firefox or IE (shudder). i've searched through the archives of this list and no one seems to mention my problem. also- this has happened on two seperate computers, so i don't think this is a local system issue. i should mention that i'm mostly familiar with html/css code - hardly low-level stuff. so bear with me. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks! chippper

svn commit problem: CMPluginExamineContext-m is not under version control

by Jon Evans

Hi, This keeps catching me out... From the subversion status window, I click the commit button. From the commit window, I type in my commit message, then from the option menu/button I click "Choose None". Then in the list I check the file that I want to commit. I get this message at the bottom of the status window: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: '/Users/evansj/rails/project/CMPluginExamineContext-m' is not under version control N.B. CMPluginExamineContext-m is not the name of the file I tried to commit, and does not even exist in my project. If instead of using the menu button I *manually* untick all the files that the commit message doesn't apply to, it all works fine. I am using the latest svn for the whole of /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/ Thanks, Jon

Snippet Overtype

by Craig Francis

In CSS, I block out parts of the code with comments like... /*--------------------------------------------------*/ /* Heading */ I am a little obsessive compulsive, in that each of the comments should use 50 hyphens to keep them all neat and tidy... in a mono- type font. Is it possible to make a snippet that will add the relevant number of spaces after the words? So in the example above, the word "Heading" uses 7 characters, plus 1 for the space on the left, leaves 42 spaces on the right. I was considering the use of... /*--------------------------------------------------*/ /* $1 ${1/./\0x0D/g} */$0 Where the "\0x0D" is the hex code for the back space key. Any ideas?

Customized CSS bundle

by Yann Bettremieux

I hope it's cool to post this here (let me know if there's a more appropriate channel 'cause I'm gonna have a HTML one ready soon ;). I finally cleaned up a bit the CSS bundle I've been using for a while. It's pretty much an adaptation of the default, but with a lot of stuff added, especially in terms of tab triggers. I find it particularly appropriate to work w/ tab triggers in CSS files since it's a pretty linear process with virtually no text manipulation... I think some of you guys might enjoy it. That's where it's at: http://minimaldesign.net/downloads/tools/textmate-css-bundle

Opening TextMate Project Files

by Dave Grijalva

It's quite helpful that TM's project files are xml (plists, i believe). I recently had a need to update the paths to a whole bunch of resources in a project I'd setup. It was a fairly easy find/replace operation, but I had to perform it in TextEdit because I couldn't get TM to open the file as a text file instead of as a project. I suppose I could have resorted to some form of file renaming shenanigans, but I'm wondering if there is another way. Does anybody know how to do this without resorting to file extension trickery? -dave

For my own personal use I created the Portable Game Notation bundle, I hope that it may come in handy for a few people on this mailing list. I've included text from the Help command at the end of this message to give details on what the bundle actually does, but just in case you don't want to wade through all that text - Portable Game Notation is a file specification which describes a game of chess which is used in most chess applications, and is a popular way to transfer games over the internet. As well as a language definition and a Help command, a couple of snippets are included which may save time describing the initial state of the game. There is also a useful command included within the bundle to launch the current game selected in the symbol list in an external Application. The bundle is available from http://homepage.mac.com/ andy.herbert/.Public/Portable%20Game%20Notation.tmbundle.zip I appreciate this bundle may only appeal to a niche interest group, but any criticism and comments will be appreciated. Further details included within the Help command follow: ## Portable Game Notation Bundle Help The ["Portable Game Notation"](http://www.very-best.de/pgn-spec.htm) specification provides a method for describing a complete game of chess in human readable form, it is also a popular file format used in home computer chess programs. This bundle provides syntax highlighting, snippets, and a command to view individual games in an external editor. Syntax highlighting is available for the following scopes: * Tag pairs for each game (Such as "Event" & "Site") * Values for each tag pair * Ply numeric * Individual moves * Individual moves involving captures * King-side, or Queen-side castling * "Check" notifications * End-game result * Comments between moves In addition the entire move-list for each game can be folded within TextMate, and spell checking is only enabled for in-game comments. Individuals games stored in each PGN file can be immediately accessed through Textmate's Symbol List (⇧⌘T), which displays the values stored every game's tag pairs. An external editor can also be used to visually display the moves in the current symbol scope. ### Creating a new game with the "Insert Seven Tag Roster" snippet Each game described in a PGN file must include seven tags to describe the setting for the game. The "Insert Seven Tag Roster" snippet provides an easy way to include this information by typing "tags⇥". When the snippet is inserted then navigating through each value can be achieved by pressing ⇥. Default values for each tag are generated automatically, but certain information such as the names of each opponent are expected. For convenience the current date will be inserted in the required "YYYY.MM.DD" format, although this can be altered as required. ### Describing each player's strength with the "Insert Elo Tags" snippet Optional information on the strength of each opponent's play can be defined by using the "Insert Elo Tags snippet", these values are to be added with the rest of the tags in each game definition, and describes the FIDE Elo rating for each player. A default value of "-" indicates the rating at the time of the game is unknown. ### Viewing the current game in an external application using "View Game" An external application may be used to view the game currently described by the value in the symbol list by defining the environment variable "$TM\_PGN\_VIEWER" as the name of an installed application (e.g. "Vektor3"). When the key combination "⌘R" is used Textmate will launch the specified program as a seperate process. Defining shell variables used within TextMate can be achieved by using the key combination "⌘,", selecting the "Advanced" preference pane by using the mouse, and finally selecting "Shell Variables" as a sub-option.

Tab trigger discoverability

by William Uther

Hi, I'm just using the HTML bundle for the first time. I was thinking it would be great if the tab triggers for more discoverable. Hence this feature suggestion: When hitting tab would trigger a tab-trigger, change the cursor. It would only need/should only be a subtle change - change its colour from black to navy blue. You'd then get an indication that something would happen if you hit tab. You could try it - and undo if it doesn't do what you want. At the moment there could be all sorts of triggers that I just don't know I'm missing... Cheers, Will :-}

Extending all language grammars?

by Rob Shearer

Textmate's ability to write a new grammar which includes an existing one is nice, but I'd like to do the opposite: make all existing grammars include an extension... I frequently use "structured comments", such as comments beginning with "TODO:" to note bits of code that I've only stubbed out, or "OPT:" for optimization opportunities. I'd like to be able to syntax- highlight the most severe of these types of comments so that I always notice these things as I'm scanning through a file. I could just extend the grammar for each programming language with a few new rules, but a much much better solution would be to add the rules everywhere, such that anything within a "comment" scope and which matched my rule got an additional "todo" scope. Does Textmate already have a simple way to do this? Is there a better approach to accomplish what I'm looking for?

Latex to CSS (pygments ?)

by Alain Matthes

Hello (sorry for my bad english) I use textmate with the theme Eiffel to create my latex code. When i want to put this code on my site, i use two commands of the TextMate's Bundle : Create HTML From Document and Create CSS From Current Theme This works very fine : http://altermundus.fr/pages/lx/tb.html But : The css is very heavy and the source code also and it's very difficult to modify this code The same code is at this page on the site of Kjell Magne Fauskes http://www.fauskes.net/pgftikzexamples/ (clic on the Sign diagram) Kjell uses pygments a module of Python. The css and the code are more simple and the result is correct Two questions : 1) is it possible (perhaps with a better theme create only for latex) to get a css more simple and a lighter source ? 2) is it possible to use pygments ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ pygments/ or http://pygments.pocoo.org/ ) from TextMate with Python's Bundle Greetings Alain ps : The result of the css with textmate is very fine but is difficult to modify it directly by hand !

Input Environment Variables

by Wolfgang Machert

Hello :) When writing bundles, the current environment contains the variables TM_INPUT_START_(LINE|LINE_INDEX) to contain the corresponding data from the beginning of the selection. If I need to have a look at the text at the beginning and end of the selection I would use these variables for the start and TM_LINE_(NUMBER|INDEX) for the end. Fine - as long as I just select downwards (placing the selection start-point to the left and/or higher than the selection end-point. If I do an upward selection this will leave me with no information about the (lower) end-point at all as the current position equals the start position. Is it possible to have some additional TM_INPUT_END_(LINE|INDEX) variables to definitely catch the end-point data no matter what kind of selection (downward/upward) has been used? It would also be convenient having both the start-/end-point line content (not only the current) as an environment setting which saves reading the whole document for one of two lines again. thanks so far Wolfgang

latex svn: TEXINPUTS not respected

by Andrew Jaffe

Dear Haris (or whomever else!), The latest SVN versions of the latex bundles don't seem to respect the value of TEXINPUTS. Instead, the bundle has the lines # Add our tex directory to the TEXINPUTS variable so e.g. pdfsync is found (even when the user hasn’t installed it) # preceeding colon stands for default search paths. Search them first so if user installed pdfsync it'll use that one export TEXINPUTS=":$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/tex//" The problem is that this doesn't actually *add* to the TEXINPUTS; it overwrites it. It should probably be something like export TEXINPUTS=":${TEXINPUTS}:$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/tex//" but with some better shell-substitution to take care of possible previous values or lack thereof for TEXINPUTS. Yours, Andrew

XML bundle, can't find "View Source as PDF"

by Stephen Bannasch

The Textmate help section on printing states: "There are plans to improve the printing capabilities, but until then, there is also a command in the Source bundle (View Source as PDF) which produces a PDF from the current source using enscript and has syntax highlighting enabled for supported languages." I have v 1.5.4 (1324) of Textmate and don't see this option in my Source bundle. Is it still available somewhere. I'd like to be able to print and get the syntax coloring in the printout. Thanks for any pointers. -- - Stephen Bannasch Concord Consortium, http://www.concord.org

Newbee Q: Hard tabs vs. soft tabs

by Garance A Drosehn

Hi. I'm new to textmate (although I did at least buy a license for it), and have one of those questions that probably comes up a lot. In my defense, I did first skim through the beta-book from Pragmatic Programmers on "Power Editting" with TextMate, and I did try a number of searches on both the wiki and some of the mailing lists archives. I haven't found any mention of what I wanted to find, but maybe I just wasn't picking the right search terms. So, apologies if this is one of those hot-button topics which people are tired of hearing of... In any case, what I want to have is a combination of hard tabs and soft tabs, and I can't see how to get what I want out of TextMate. What I want is my tab-intent to be a soft-tab (using blanks) at 4 spaces, but I also want hard-tabs (using the actual tab character) to be used for 8 spaces. So, if I tab once I want four spaces, if I tab twice then I want a single tab character, and with three tabs I want a tab-character followed by four spaces. I can get this behavior out of XCode, and it would be very very useful to me if I could get the same behavior out of TextMate. In XCode, I get this behavior via the "Indentation" preferences, by turning on "Tab key inserts tab, not spaces", and setting tab width=8 and indent width=4. Apologies if I'm missing some obvious setting in TextMate. Thanks for any suggestions. Other than this one oddity, TextMate looks like it could be very useful and productive for me -- once I can master all that it can do! :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosihn(a)gmail.com Senior Systems Programmer Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA

Latex bundle: problem with label completion

by Piero D'Ancona

I am using extensively the new label completion macro which is really very good and fast. I have a problem though: all my equation labels have the form \label{eq:labelname} and the macro chokes on them. If I type labelname then invoke the opt-esc shortcut and chose 1 i.e. "label based on current word", I get \\${1:eqref}{eq:labelname} Clearly the colon is the problem. Any workaround, apart from changing my label style (which is one of the standard ones, however, used e.g. by Auctex)? Thanks, Piero

Build Citation Error

Just updated the LaTeX bundle (revision 6490) and I am getting the following error when I use the Build Citation command after choosing a citation command (such as `\cite{}`, say) from the list: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 69:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileparse_bibfile' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 194:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of filecall' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 163:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 162:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_pair' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 161:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_pair' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 154:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_with_index' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 153:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of fileeach_with_index' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 153:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of filecite_scan' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb: 23:in All the best, Mark

how does text mate find ruby...?

by dc

i had to remove the OS-X included broken version of Ruby, and now get this error message when using certain commands like comment out block in textmate : env: ruby: No such file or directory so i assume TM is piping the text thru a ruby script to do these operations. so, how do i tell textmate where to look for Ruby? all systems are go in the shell :: dc@bb > which ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby dc@bb > ruby --version ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i686-darwin8.6.2] for now i did a hack to symlink from the apple default location ( usr/bin ) to where i have ruby185 installed, but this doesnt seem optimal: dc@bb /usr/bin > sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby ruby I do have a .bash_login which textmate -should- source to create a shell environment before any scripts are run? >> Instead TextMate runs a custom script (named bash_init.sh located in $TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib) before executing the actual shell command(s).

Blogging Bundle: Tagging Commands (UTW)

by Brett Terpstra

I have released a combination of TextMate commands and a Wordpress plugin for Wordpress 2.1 that allows for better handling of tags when blogging from TextMate. [1] The plugin, UTW-RPC, overrides a few functions in the xmlrpc.php file, implementing Robin Lu’s hack[2] for Ecto and Ultimate Tag Warrior. This automatically will make the Keywords header function with TextMate and allow the Keywords: field to insert and display Ultimate Tag Warrior tags from posts. (It will also provide the same functionality for all other blogging clients that recognize the mt_keywords header). The plugin also adds a hook, metaweblog.getTags, that the TextMate commands use to retrieve the tags from your blog and provide various functions with. The commands are rudimentary at this point and are provided as proof of concept. I could use some serious help with implementing a fuzzy search on the autotag command. Thanks, Brett [1]http://blog.circlesixdesign.com/2007/01/26/utw-rpc-10/ [2]http://www.robinlu.com/blog/archives/57

named bookmarks in project/global context ?

by A J

hi, I am wondering if anyone has developed something to support named bookmarks, e.g. within a project context. I found Haris' blog post on a way to support global bookmarking: < http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/afterthought/2006/06/09/global-textmate-bookma… > Thanks-- that is a useful start! The HTML/link interface works well. I was thinking of messing with it further to support naming the bookmarks that are written to the file, and maybe associating them with a project name. (However, since I've not used Ruby and am SUPPOSED to be writing a paper at the moment it might be a while until I get to it.) Has anyone else done something like this already? Apologies if I missed it, nothing was obvious in the bundle list etc. -Amy

One of its advantage over CVS or svn is that it is a distributed system, that means you can work and commit locally before pushing to the remote repository. It's easier to use locally too, as the repository and the working copy are in the same place, you can have everything in one folder. After installing Mercurial and the bundle, open a folder in TM, hit ctrl + shift + M and choose "init" then "AddRemove" to add all the files (eventually create a .hgignore file before to exclude some files) then "commit" and BOOM ;), your folder is under revision control. I made the Mercurial bundle as it is now. I plan to work more on it when I have the time, but I think it's already really usable now. Please, give me feedback if you use it. I plan to make a tutorial/screencast about it one day too. -- FredB

Macro/command for LaTeX wordcounts

by Colin Hahn

I'm trying to write a macro or command (not sure which will be better) for doing a word count on LaTeX documents. The basic task is simple enough: I want to run the command "ps2ascii [file.pdf] | wc" on file.tex (where file.tex is the current file I'm working on) (I've tested ps2ascii and it works fine for the types of documents I'll be writing). However, I also want to strip the footnotes from my word count. To do so, I've defined the footnotes with a custom command that I can redefine as empty: \newcommand{\fn}[1]{\footnote{#1}} % \renewcommand{\fn}[1]{} So, the whole task I need to do is: 1) Uncomment the \renewcommand line 2) Re-run LaTex 3) Run ps2ascii | wc on the generated .pdf 4) Display the output of that command as a ToolTip 5) Re-comment the \renewcommand line (so the file is back in its original state) Unfortunately, I don't know how to string these things together, nor how to get the argument for the ps2ascii command from the current filename variable TM_FILENAME (i.e., how to substitute .pdf for .tex). I can add unique comments to the end of the \renewcommand line so it can be picked out by a regex search, if that helps. Suggestions? I'm also open to other ideas for getting the same end result, if there's an easier way.

Copy and Duplicate word snippet

by Helmut Granda

Hello all, I am trying to find information in regards of how to copy and paste text in a new line, for example: before snippet: myText after snippet: myText theText = myText currently I am able to create a snippet that will copy the selected word and create a new line like this: theText = $TM_SELECTED_TEXT but of course this replaces the selected text so I did the following $TM_SELECTED_TEXT theText = $TM_SELECTED_TEXT and this works great if there is only one line of text but lets say I need to select a certain word in the middle of a pharragraph then i get the following before snippet: first word theText second word after snippet: first word theText theText = theText second word as you can tell the snippet inserts the comman din the middle of the sentence, is there a way to avoid that?

macfuse, sshfs, timestamp 0

by Kevin Dangoor

(I just joined this list, so I can't properly reply to the original message)... In the earlier thread about MacFUSE and sshfs, Michael Reece mentioned that his files get written with a "Dec 31 1969" modification time. I've seen the same problem. I've only seen this problem when using sshfs with TextMate. If I touch the file outside of TM, the timestamp is updated properly. sshfs works fantastic with TextMate otherwise, so I hope there's a solution to this. Kevin

Shift Right strips whitespace...

by Gerd Knops

Hi, It's been bugging me for a while: "Shift Right" will leave all lines consisting only of whitespace completely blank, even removing existing whitespace. That really bugged me, so I tried to write my own "Shift Right" command to replace the built-in one. But it seems that the lines my code gets are already stripped of 'trailing whitespace'. Any idea how I can tell TM to leave my whitespace alone? Thanks Gerd

Why compile in XeLaTeX?

Freeze Issue when Piping

by Dave Grijalva

I'm working on an action to allow me to quickly open a url in textmate: res=$(CocoaDialog inputbox --title "Open URL" \ --informative-text "URL:" \ --button1 "Okay" --button2 "Cancel") [[ $(head -n1 <<<"$res") == "2" ]] && exit_discard res=$(tail -n1 <<<"$res") /usr/bin/env ruby -e "require 'net/http';require 'uri';Net::HTTP.get_print URI.parse('$res')" | mate Basically, I'm using ruby to grab the page and output the content to stdout, then piping that to TextMate. If i call this from the command line, it works perfectly. problem is, if i call this as an command from within textmate, it completely freezed the app. The page does open, but tm becomes completely unresponsive and I have to quit and restart. any ideas what I'm doing wrong? thanks -dave

Compare text files based on words not lines

by Christoph Prion

Hello all I am new to Textmate and this list but so far really impressed by the program and the people posting here. My background is in molecular biology and I will mostly use TM for text (MultiMarkdown is appealing to me) not so much code. Although I am slowly making my way through the manual I have not found anything that would allow me to compare two textfiles and highlight changes between them. "Diff" is not what I am loooking for because it is based on lines. Writing manuscripts I don't use carriage returns so a single difference in a paragraph will highlight the whole thing not just the difference only. FileMerge (in the Apple developer tools) is much closer and also visually intuitive, but getting long in the teeth and having difficulties with UTF-8. Is there a Textmate bundle that will do this kind of comparison for me? My sincere apologies if this question has been answered already, Christoph

Working with CVS in TextMate

by Neil Lee

My workplace has standardized (a long time ago) on CVS for version control. I'm used to using Subverison with svnX and a bit of command line tomfoolery and haven't used CVS very much. After much searching and demoing of applications I have come to the conclusion that all of the graphical CVS clients for OS X out there either a) are ancient, or b) are written in Java and are slow and resource-hungry. I've noticed that TextMate has CVS support, so I'm wondering if anyone here has any tips on using the CVS plugin?

Ruby "Run" command suddenly broken?

by Paul Starr

In Ruby mode, I'd been using cmd-R to run my trivial little scripts, but recently I came back to them and cmd-R no longer works. It simply pops up an HTML window that displays the shell error message, '/usr/local/bin/ruby: no such file or directory.' Running scripts directly from Terminal still works, and my Ruby is in fact in /usr/ local/bin, so I'm basically stumped. What did I unwittingly change? Thanks, --p.

Shortcut keys don't work any more

by Mikael Forsgren

I've bough TextMate now after using the trial version - and the short keys when writing rhtml or plain ruby don't work any more. I can't get <%= %> by pressing ^Z or anything like that. Down at the bottom I've selected HTML (Rails), Ruby on Rails, Ruby, and even just plain HTML, but it don't work with any one of them. I suppose that HTML (Rails) is the one I want. Any ideas? Mikael

Textmate Latex insert completion problem

by Nathan Paxton

Thanks. You're a tad over my head here, but I looked in the application contents and a couple of files that might be what you're speaking of, but I don't really have Ruby knowledge. I'm just using textmate to do work in Tex and R, mostly. Anyway, in Contents/ShardSupport/Support/bin, there's a file called LatexLabelCompletion.rb. Perhaps this is it? My TeX install is at /us/local/gwTeX/bin/power-pc-current/. It's a fairly standard installation, in that I haven't made any modifications to the MacTeX installation, so it's pretty as-is. -Nathan >I believe that the ruby script that fetches the path to your LaTeX tools is: $TM_SUPPORT_PATH/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb If you look at this script, it has a function for fetching the location of the LaTeX binaries called `tex_path`, which tries several different ways of getting >to your TeX install, and should usually work. I'm not sure why you'd be getting >this error, as the script should only try to use kpswitch once it has found it in the `tex_path` function. That is, the `tex_path` function explicitly tests for the availability of kpswitch, so if it's not there, it shouldn't be getting used later on. >Maybe you can share some more details about your install. >I can't really offer too much advice, because I have pretty much nothing to do with the TeX bundle.

Irrational folding behavior when syncing a file between two TextMates via .Mac

by John Bergmayer

I keep a bunch of markdown-formatted text files on my iDisk. I use folding extensively in them, like this: Some words{ * Text that is folded. } To the best of my knowledge, curly braces are the only way to fold in Markdown. Sometimes I've been opening a file and seeing that the folding goes from the top brace to some random point *inside* the folded text, instead of to the closing brace or anything that could possibly be construed as a folding marker. I'm pretty sure that this is because when I create the file with one TextMate on my iMac, edit it while away on my Macbook, and then open up the changed file again on my iMac later (all the syncing and such has happened in the meantime), somehow the metadata hasn't come along with it. So when I open the file, I have the data on one but the saved folding info for the old version, still. So the top brace folds to the line number of where the closing brace *used to be*. Now, the way I use my iDisk (and the whole reason why I use it at all instead of Strongspace) is that it keeps a local copy on both my Macbook and my iMac, as well as on Apple's servers. So to TextMate, my iDisk probably looks local, and looks like it supports the extended attributes, but maybe that stuff is lost in transit through the network iDIsk. Either a ._something file is being skipped, or something is causing extended attributes to be lost. Is anyone else familiar with this kind of folding weirdness? Can any one think of a solution besides turning extended attributes off? (For example, if it is indeed that extended attributes are being lost, is there a way to just force TextMate to always use ._something files? Presumably, this would sync fine.) Thanks, j

Textmate Latex insert completion problem

by Nathan Paxton

Hi there all, I'm using TM 1.5.4, OS X 10.4.8 and I am typing up a LaTeX document. When I go to insert a label or reference, I type "\ref{}" and then hit option-esc to bring up the list of labels for refs and figures. I can select one of the items that pops up, but then TM inserts inside the brackets: sh: line 1: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.6.1/kpsewhich: No such file or directory fig:BeliefReX So the figure label is there, but so is an error from the lookup procedure. I know that I don't have this directory because that's not where i-Installer/MacTeX puts an installation anymore. What's causing the error message, and how do I get rid of it?

Markdown2Book Generate References

by Gert van Oss

wondering whether I'm misunderstanding the script Generate References from the wonderful Markdown2Book. my problem of building markdown.references while using the scripts that came with this nice tool is maybe best described with the sample I found here: http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2006-February/008160.html In my idea I could just: - download this sample called `manual` - start up a new project - put all files from the folder `manual` in it and start writing and it would create a reference for pages I would add. For example adding a page: 040_my_test would create a markdown.reference if I start referring to this page like [see][myTest] and run the script `Generate`. Or would I need to put: [myTest]: 040_my_test.html in the markdown.reference file myself? If I do it that way it works but I do need to add the `040_` in front? Is this the correct way to do this? Or should the `Generate` script choose the titles of a page as a reference itself. tia, Gert

HTML bundle ? Self Closing (X)HTML Tags

by Matthew Betts

I am having a problem with the HTML bundle. When I use the tag triggers to insert an element with a self closing tag (like <input />) or drag in an image (<img />) it does not put it in the XHTML format, even though the doctype is XHTML strict. In the bundle editor (using the <input> example) it says: <input type="${1:text/submit/hidden/button}" name="${2:some_name}" value="$3"${4: id="${5:$2}"}${TM_XHTML}> Now I assume that this: ${TM_XHTML} is some kind of variable which decides whether to put the XHTML bit it. But it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Column selection question

by Timothy Bates

Hi there, Taking a dummy example string like: KIBRA C/T T/T C/C Questions 1/ Using the keyboard, how do I make a zero-width column selection at the last position for each of the bottom three lines? The manual suggests that holding option-shift while moving (arrow) from the top to the bottom lines should do it, but this doesn't create the right selection for me, and when I push option, the selection is not converted to a zero-width column cursor (nothing happens). 2. Can I type at the end of each line (given that the lines end on different columns)? _______________ ''The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable.''

VIM // {{ and // }} equivalents for Ruby in TextMate

by Mark Cotner

If anybody is used to the // {{ and // }} folding in vim and wants the same in TextMate you can use the following language config to do similar things with Ruby. #begin ten =begin This is inline documentation =end def ten 10 end #end The following will create a fold between #begin and #end as well as add a fold for =begin/=end comments. Add the following two lines to your Ruby language file in the foldingStartMarker section . . . |begin |=begin # line 1 |[#]begin # line 2 |for|while|until and these two to your foldingEndMarker section . . . | ^ \s*+ [}\]] \s*+ ([#].*)? $ | [#] .*? $end$ \s*+ $ # Sune's special marker |^=end$ # line 1 |[#]end$ # line 2 )'; Hope this is helpful.

Smarter Cocoa Completion Command

by Joachim Mårtensson

Hello everybody. I added some functionality to my cocoa-completion command. It will now show context based completion suggestions when the type of the reciever can be deduced. If it can not find a method based on class, then it will revert back to the old behaviour giving you all possible candidates. The command currently only gives context sensitive information for AppKit and Foundation. Here are the two cases that give context-sensitive suggestions: (^ is the caret) hit alt-Esc as usual. [NSString someClassMethod^] [[object pathWithComponents:myArray] instanceAndClassMethodsThatWorksOnAString^] Due to a bug (that crashes TextMate) that I have not managed to track down I have restricted the functionality, so that one always have to type atleast one char before completions are available. The command uses methods from rubycocoa (http://rubycocoa.sourceforge.net/), so be certain to have that installed and that it can be reached from the standard ruby interpreter (or change the she-bang line in the command). If you like this version of the completion command, then please tell me and I will switch the one in svn to this. Joachim Mårtensson

textmate can't find ruby.

by aaron smith

I have recently switched to a mac. And I tried re-installing ruby from the default 1.8.2. To 1.8.4. I followed the install instructions from http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger. Everything from those instructions seems to install fine. But now textmate doesn't know where ruby is.. it's weird.. if I run ruby from the command line or irb it works fine.. But textmate compains about not finding it. (when using the Subversion bundle). Textmate says it's searching all these different directories (one happens to actally have ruby in it). but Textmat still can';t find it.. on other thing I noticed.. is that if i do a >>whereis ruby<< it doesnt show anything.. I'm thinking that's the problem but how do I fix it.. any ideas? thanks all.

Emacs kill-sentence

by Sam Halliday

Hi all, I've only recently started to use TextMate, and I'm doing what you all did in your first week... implementing the Emacs commands I can't live without :-) I noticed that there is no Emacs kill-sentence support, so I implemented it:- http://fommil.me.uk/Emacs%20Sentence.zip Including the commands to cut from the cursor to the end of the current sentence, and navigate back/forward sentences. Emacs defines a sentence (with one space after the fullstop) as [.?!][]\"')]*\$$\\|\t\\| \$[ \t\n]* but I edited that to use extended regexes and count colons. Emacs also cheats and uses a bunch of other special tests for paragraphs without a fullstop etc, so I included that too [.?!:;][\]"')]*\s+?|$\s*?$|\Z which is unfortunately hard-coded into all the macros as I didn't know how to create a bundle-wide constant. There is a little bug which means if you navigate back on the first sentence in the first line of a file, you will be off by one. This is such a small bug that I can't be bothered to fix it, although I'm open to suggestions for fixes. I bound navigation to alt-left/right (as I use ctrl-left/right for word navigation) and kill-sentence as alt-k (same as Emacs). shift- alt-right will work as expected, but I do not know what to do about shift-alt-left; I'd like to hear any hints on how to get that to work. cheers, Sam -- http://fommil.me.uk

Re: [TxMt] Re: Bulletin Board like editing

by Zeitler Andreas

Yes! Thats it...but what about the other Tags? Like Code, Quote, Img and so on? I think you really should add this feature to your bundle! I like the thing that the Bundle takes the text for the URL from the pasteboard! Good Job. > BTW, you better follow Jacobs' advice about "Edit in TextMate" than > "paste the text back". I know that i can do it this way, but as i mentioned earlier i'm working as a writer for a board so i have to write some quite big posts BEFORE i upload them. You know i have to do some research and so on. I already know that Edit in TextMate is a really good feature - believe me. But sometimes i have to write in TextMate, save it on harddisk and then just paste it back in the browser. Writing these Posts with TextMate is just more fun, than this little stupid editor which comes with the Browser Software like vBulletin and phpBB.

Can anybody help or does know where i get some > information? ================================== trace() is used by the Flash IDE. The MTASC equivalent is TRACE(), which you can set up on the command line to point to another function. I'm currently using the LuminicBox logger, but everyone has their favorite. Google 'actionscript logger' for more options. Most of them either work over a LocalConnection or an XMLSocket to pass information to the logger. XMLSocket loggers are faster but the ones I've seen are less robusty (Luminic, which is a LC debugger, has a nice tree view for your objects). Good luck :) P.S.

TM Ruby and Tabs

by s.ross

For some reason, over time, about half of my Ruby files have 4-space indents and the other half want to indent by 2 spaces. I've been living with it, but not my source is looking a bit like it had too much to drink last night. Questions: 1) How do I tell TM how many spaces to indent? 2) Is there some cool way to invoke the auto indenter across a whole file (I know it will get some of the indents a bit wrong, but it's easier than going line by line)?

This is a most unwelcome change as I often use the scrartcl-class where \emph seems to be typeset as underlined text instead of italic. Any chance for a *different* shortcut for emph in the default LaTeX bundle? I don't like messing around in the default bundles myself for as far as I understand TM will create a "local" copy and I can no longer easily benefit from updates in the default bundles … :( Christian

Go to your favourite Board and do the following: 1. Start making a new Post/Thread/Message 2. Type in some text. Lets say "This is my text" 3. Lets say you want the word "text" to appear as a link. 4. In a normal web browser you do this by marking the text "text", click on "URL=" then the text "text" changes to [url=]text[/url]. Did it become clearer to you what i mean? It would be nice to have TM act like the web editor so i can paste the text back to the browser when i fnished with my post.

Feature Request for Bulleting Board Bundle

by Zeitler Andreas

Hi Today i was just asking myself, when i was editing a quite big Forum Post. Why there is no "Bulletin Board"-like editing mode in TextMate? I hope you know what i mean...but let me describe. When you are on the website of your favourite board. And make a new post, the editor comes up and you start typing. Then you decide: this one has to be size 1, this passage has to be a link and so on. On the Forum you are just mark which text has to be size 1 or the link, click the size or link button and your marked text is put between the tags you decided eg [size=1]my little text[/size] This would be very handy to have! Because i am (very) addicted to some forum i am visiting and i am writing some large entries there which are posted on the start-page of the site. Thanks! Zettt

cursor and display bug

by FasterDogs

Greetings, I've encountered a bug recently with textmate after 6 months of use. it just popped up so I'm presuming it's related to something with the systems font or somesuch. but no other app has this issue. I use textmate primarily for editing my rails scripts , As I said it worked fine, but now my cursor is generally 1 or 2 columns off from the insert point. here's an example type a number sequence to show 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 then hilite, copy and paste in groups of +5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 same thing without spaces.. 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 12345 1234567890 123456789012345 1234567890123456789 123456789012345678901234 I've tried different fonts but get the same result. some times in my code when there is italics or bold the spacing can be very off like by 4 chars or more. any ideas? osx 10.4.8, default install thanks -zaq

regex

by Sam Halliday

Hi all, I'm trying to re-implement the Emacs sentence navigation/kill commands. http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/emacs/emacs_235.html I've managed to write some macros that behave the same as Emacs for most situations except near the beginning or end of the file. To fix this I would need to be able to match the EOF or Beginning Of File in a regex. Reading http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/regular_expressions I can't see these as available characters... do they exist? -- Sam

FileNameAutoCompletion + AutoCorrection

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Dear all, Thomas Aylott wrote a nice Filename Completion within the Experimental bundle. With this command you can simulate the TAB behaviour at the console writing paths or file names. By myself I prefer to see all suggestions with their real names (not only the rest). That's why I wrote my own humble version, and I added a nice 'auto correction' function to it. With 'auto correction' I mean: Examples: I type '/Apppli' , invoke the completion, and finally it writes '/ Applications/' or I type '~/Dyskt' , invoke the completion, and it goes back to the first valid path and makes a pull down list of 'Desktop, Documents' The next thing I changed is that if the completion finds only one match it outputs it directly without asking me. Together with the auto correction the completion makes it easier to insert a specific file name with a typo. For instance, I have a file at my desktop named 'test3.txt' and I type '~/Desktop/test33.txt' , start the completion, it changes it at once to '~/Desktop/ test3.txt' (of course, if you have no other files beginning with 'test3'). The feature to select a part of the path with the mouse to indicate what I want to change is missing in my script, because I'm a keyboard person. If I take the mouse to select something, then I also can press 'DELETE' before I invoke the completion script. As default the pull down menu doesn't list files beginning with a dot. If you want to see them, then you have to type: '~/.+' (to see all) or '~/.p' (to see all with a p) I bound the script to the key CRTL+TAB and the scopes: source.shell, string.interpolated.ruby; but here are no limits. Please check it and don't hesitate to comment my script ;) (Maybe I forgot something) Cheers, Hans

Cocoa Autocomplete

by Sam Halliday

Hi all, I noticed that the Cocoa autocomplete word (ESC in Tiger) works in TextMate. Using ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict I have set ^/ to also do autocomplete in Cocoa apps. I've been using this keybinding for a long time now, but I'm new to TextMate (bought license today). Unfortunately, this user set binding does not work in TextMate although it does work in other Cocoa apps such as TextEdit. Does anyone know why this might be the case and any hints to fix it? Optimally I'd like to set "Apple /" to autocomplete, but for some reason Cocoa doesn't allow this. cheers, Sam -- http://fommil.me.uk

Added timeouts to Blogging

IE Preview in Parallels Directly From TextMate!

by Ryan van Barneveld

The Mac web development tool we've all been waiting for is here: "IE Preview" allows previewing TextMate's current working document directly in Internet Explorer through Parallels -- with a single shortcut key! Many of us are forced into testing for IE compatibility, and this makes it far less tedious. I'm providing the app and the script on my site, here: http:// www.ryanvb.com/ie-preview/ If you find it useful, diggs and/or comments are much appreciated!

Lost syntax highlighting - Please help?

by Peter Fitzgibbons

Hello all, As I was monkey-bashing the keyboard around Apple-D, I managed to turn-off syntax highlighting. Can someone tell me how to restore syntax highlighting or provide a link that includes this help? Why was I monkey-bashing? For some reason Project Drawer will not open on ^-Ctl-Apple-D. The menu works just fine. Any bugs around this? Thank you, thank you, thank you, Peter Fitzgibbons peter.fitzgibbons(a)gmail.com

I like to keep two (or more) projects open at once, and have one with a drawer to the right, and another with drawer to the left. This guarantees that the corner of the other project window will always be showing, which sometimes is useful for toggling between windows (it would be nice to be able to use command-`), and as a visual reminder of what I'm working on. So at most I think we might ask for a pref to control which sides the drawer can appear on. Personally, I'll be a lot more excited when there's a pref to turn off the automatic rescanning of files in a project (especially when they're on a network vol), as the lag when switching between Textmate and other apps is very annoying. -Toby.

The overhead of 'Pipe text through' ...

by Torsten Grust

Dear all, I'm hacking on a little project that is somewhat abusing the 'Pipe text through' feature of TextMate's Web Preview window (''abusing'' in the sense that I do not want to preview HTML text). If you open the Web Preview and uncheck the 'Pipe text through' option you can observe how rapidly TextMate can update the preview (set the 'Refresh after change delay' to 0.00s and type away in some plain text -- the update seems almost immediate and you'll have immediate typing response in the editor window). Enabling 'Pipe text through' makes TextMate pipe the current editor window contents into the specified command. Even if you only specify 'cat >/dev/null' as that command, you will notice that text editing will become sluggish. I assume that this delay is all due to the overhead of *forking* the specified command -- executing 'cat >/dev/null' itself takes no noticable time on files of size <100k on my Powerbook G4. I've got two questions here: (1) Is there a smarter way to receive live updates of the current editor window contents? Maybe via the plugin API? (2) How about a comptabile change in 'Pipe text through's behavior? If the file specified in 'Pipe text through' is a named pipe (mkfifo(1)) do not fork any command but simply write the editor window contents into that named pipe. Otherwise, behave as before. Item (2) sounds like a moderate change that could get us rid of the forking overhead for at least some applications that need live update. What are the chances that Allan has open ears for such things? Thanks and all the best for the New Year, --Torsten

PHP double click selection and the dollar sign ($)

by Oliver Lillie

I'm switching from Zends IDE to textmate and have encountered something i would like to enable but have the foggiest how to or even if it is possible. In Zend if you double click a php variable, ie $variable_name; then the whole variable word including the $ would be selected and not just the word text. Is there anyway to code this via the bundle editor. I haven't really got a clue about it myself.

Commands for html headings

by Timothy Bates

Attached is a bundle of commands for html h1-h5. They build on the bundle "additional html" which was just sent to the list. They add the feature which most brings me back to Dreamweaver: they not only turn selections (or whole lines with no selection) into a heading, they also work on existing headings, changing them to the selected level. I'd welcome feedback and/or seeing something like this included in the proposed expanded html bundle.

TM for cataloging

by Piero D'Ancona

If you drag-and-drop a CD or DVD on an open TextMate window this produces a nicely formatted list of the contents. Folder names end with / , and one or more tabs denote the hierarchy of nested folders. I'm tempted to use TM for this. Actually searching is already ok; I might use a project to group different media into different folders, etc. The only thing I am missing is a way to fold the list at the appropriate level. The fully expanded list is something like CDname/ firstFolder/ subFolder/ file1.txt file2.mp3 file3.txt secondFolder/ file1 file2 file3 thirdFolder/ and I would do things like: see only the CD names, or see only stuff down to one level of tabs, or down to two levels of tabs etc. This should be doable with the folding system of TM. How? ok I could discover myself, and I'll certainly do as soon as I have one solid week free (around 2009 I guess) BTW, if you have a cataloging bundle ready I would appreciate it a lot... Piero

R bundle: Suggestions for 'Insert Command Template'

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I look at 'Insert Command Template' and this one of my favorites ;) Nevertheless I have some humble suggestions to improve it: 1) Now this command executes the apropos function within a new fresh R session. This means that it doesn't know which libraries I'm currently using and it doesn't know which functions I defined within my R session. To use 'Insert Command Template' also for this you should load the function 'getSig.r' in my current session (renamed in '.getSig' ) and executes this within my session to get these signatures too. By doing so you would increase the speed of it enormously and you can insert signatures for user-defined functions and functions coming from loaded libraries. The disadvantage of it would be that you have such queries in your current session; ok you don't see them in the TM R console window, but if you save it workspace you would have these. To avoid this you could think about to write the answer of the query into a file and load it in TM. Or, if you don't interested in the user-defined functions you could start a new R session which loads all libraries which are loaded in my current session. (I don't know whether this would also work for user-defined fucntions?) 2) If you use the approach in 1) then you can do more elaborated things with it because of the speed. Examples: -If I look for for a keyword it will insert the signature like the old version. If there is nothing found it will look for functions which begins with the keyword like the old version. -If I type e.g. 'data.' it lists all methods for 'data.' like data.class, data.frame etc. but not 'dataentry' -If I type e.g. '.difftime' you get all functions where '.difftime' is specified like mean.difftime, print.difftime. To insert the signature you have to select the keyword in beforehand otherwise it shows a tooltip. -If I have no idea about the complete name of a function you can type e.g. '.load.'. This would look for '*load*' as regexp. Furthermore sometimes I cannot remember whether the a function is called 'shownames' or 'showNames', so you can write '.names.' and it looks for '*names*|*Names*'. I would use periods for '.foo.' for indicating this because it will be caught be Ruby's getword function. Of course you can do more things: -You could catch the 'apropos()' function and run it in TM and print the result as pop down menu and and and What do you think about it? To change to code would be relatively easy. Best, -Hans

Python 2.4.3 - PyMate r5848 pickle problem

by Nigel King

Dear group, Thanks for your excellent PyMate. Unfortunately I have started using shelve to save intermediate results and have found a bug. Try the following simplest script. (which uses the underlying problem pickle) Please can somebody check that the error below occurs on the minimum script that I have. I have copied the PyMate output below. I particularly want to know if I have corrupted my python bundle in some way. This script runs without error when using the normal textmate command ============= import pickle class testobject(object): pass pickle.dumps(testobject()) ============= HIDE STDERR SHOW STDERR Python 2.4.3 - PyMate r5848 For comments contact the author.

R bundle: Execute Document In R - Update plots

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I just thought about a tiny improvement regarding to display plots in Preview. If I want to plot something, Preview opens it. Fine. After doing that I want to change the plot for instance. The new plot will be calculated but Preview still displays the old one. I have to 'Revert' it or close it before running the R script. To make a quasi-update automatically here's a suggestion: ________________ defaults write /Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Info NSAppleScriptEnabled -bool YES P=$(osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains "Preview"') if [ "$P" == "true" ]; then osascript <<-AS2 &>/dev/null tell application "Preview" close every window end tell AS2 fi "$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/tmR.rb" ________________ Explanation: 'default write' has to execute only once to enable AppleScript in Preview. So you can comment it out if set. The next line checks whether Preview runs or not. If Preview is running I close every window in Preview. This is a kind of a small hack because AppleScript returns a warning 'missing value', so I send it to the nirvana. Both AppleScripts could be replaced by changing tmR.rb directly. I.e., if tmp_dir is not empty and Preview is running (system(ps -aux | grep Preview)) then call an AppleScript to close every window. On the other hand it would be nice to have an easy way to set pdf()'s 'onefile' argument in order to be able to print all plots in one pdf. Maybe solvable by using a TM variable? Any comments? All the best, Hans

Overriding ruby code

by Steven W. Riggins

Sorry for the n00b questions, this is all new to me :) I'm working on the blogger bundle, and saw that when I make end user changes, those are mirrored into App Support, which rocks! However, I'm tinkering with the ruby stuff (like I want it to upload into /images/) just getting my feet wet and really don't want to be mucking around inside of the app's bundle. Is there any way to locally override the bundle file in App Support? Thanks! Steve

Grammar matching help

by Colin Hahn

I'm trying to put together a grammar and having a hard time getting the pattern matching right. The line I'm interested in will be in the following format-- KW: [any text except a percentage sign can go in here] % (fold) What I want to do is apply the scope comment.line.percentage from the % sign to the end of the line, and variable.notes to everything in between KW: and the percent sign. I also want to be able to use Markdown-style italics within the variable.notes section. Here is the patterns block as I have constructed it thus far: patterns = ( { name = 'comment.line.percentage'; match = '%.*$'; }, { begin = '^KW:'; end = '% $fold$|$'; patterns = ( { name = 'markup.italic.notes.variable'; match = '\*[^\*]+?\*'; }, ); contentName = 'variable.notes'; }, { name = 'markup.italic.notes'; match = '\*[^\*]+?\*'; }, ); This does everything correctly except the % (fold) only acquires the scope of the whole grammar and not the comment scope. Anything following a percentage sign on a line that doesn't begin with KW: is matched fine. Any help on how to construct the grammar to match the end of this line would be appreciated!

More on MT Categories

by Steven W. Riggins

ok it appears this was only tested on WordPress according to the comments. :) I duplicated "Category" into "Category MT" and changed the xmlrpc call to: blog_id = cred.blog_id res = [{'categoryName' => cred.username},{'categoryName'=>'two'}] res = TextMate.call_with_progress(:title => "Fetch Categories", :message => "Contacting Server “#{cred.host}”…") do cred.client.call("mt.getCategoryList", blog_id, cred.username, password) end Now I get a list of categories! However they are not posted, because MT does all of its category stuff with IDs. So more work is involved. I guess nobody is using the Blogging bundle with MT? Steve

Problem with RubyMate

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a ruby script via Cmd-R, and I get this error: RubyMate r6189 running Ruby r1.8.4 (/usr/local/bin/ruby) >>> symlink_dotfiles.rb /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tmbundle/Support/RubyMate/run_script.rb:39:in `filter_stdout': undefined method `test_script?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /Users/sean/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/scriptmate.rb:59:in `emit_html' from /Users/sean/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/scriptmate.rb:53:in `emit_html' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tmbundle/Support/RubyMate/run_script.rb:73 The script runs fine in the shell, using the same ruby executable.

Hi! A question about blogging, Movabletype and categories

by Steven W. Riggins

Am checking out textmate (am a 10 year bbedit user). So far I love what I see, tho I have much to learn. I am trying the blogging bundle with movable type 3.33 (I upgraded from 3.2 just for this issue, but that didn't help. At least I got a better blog out of it :)) I can retrieve posts fine. When I make a new post and try cat tab, I get: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:154:in `fault': wrong fault- structure: {"faultCode"=>"Client", "faultString"=>"Failed to locate method (getCategories) in class (metaWeblog) at /usr/home/geeksrus/ public_html/cgi-bin/mt/extlib/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2180.\n"} (RuntimeError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:562:in `tag_end' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/streamparser.rb:26:in `parse' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:171:in `parse_stream' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:722:in `parse' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:462:in `parseMethodResponse' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:410:in `call2' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:399:in `call' from /tmp/temp_textmate.GnKX4C:46 from /tmp/temp_textmate.GnKX4C:45:in `popen' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ progress.rb:11:in `call_with_progress' from /tmp/temp_textmate.GnKX4C:45 MarsEdit works fine.

Latex bundle: error catching problem

by Piero D'Ancona

Hi, this already cropped up in the list: sometimes the Latex bundle does not catch errors which are however catched by TeXshop (and by collaborators :). But if you look into the .log file you see that the error was correctly identified by TeX, so the problem must be in the bundle. To reproduce, create a new .tex file containing \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{equation} \frac a b } \end{equation} \end{document} (notice the unmatched brace). If you save the file as "a.tex" and run CMD-R, the error is caught (catched?). Now the fun: save the file as "a-b.tex" (a hyphen must be in the name) and run CMD-R again. The error is not caught (but is reported in the a-b.log file). So Haris: this has something to do with how the bundle handles files. Or not? Piero PS happy new year everybody!

R bundle: Command Usage

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, Regarding to the R-bundle command 'Command Usage': I find this idea very good, but it supposes that on every Mac 'texscan' is installed. So here's my suggestion for it: 1) I don't use Ruby, only Bash with a tiny Perl snippet. It is a bit faster. 2) I'm looking for HTML files, not for tex files. 3) It could happen that the structure of a help file is inconsistent, i.e. no 'Usage' header. If so, now it outputs the first 1100 character of the help as plain text. Maybe you find what do you are looking for. 4) I suppressed the error messages coming from the 'find' command mentioning that there is no permission to do something. Here the code: ________________ COM=`tail` FILES=`find "${R_HOME:-/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources}"/ library -name $COM.html -print 2>/dev/null` if [ ${#FILES} -eq 0 ]; then echo "Nothing found for '$COM'" exit_show_tool_tip fi for F in $FILES do cat "$F" | perl -e '$a="";while(<>){$a.=$_};$a=~m/<h3>Usage<\/h3\>[.| \n]+<pre>(.*?)<\/pre>/sim;if($1){print "Usage:\n".$1;}else{$a=~s/<.*? >//gms;$a=~s/\n{3,}/\n\n/gms;print substr($a,0,1100)."\n[...]"}' done __________________ Any comments?

[ANN] TeXMLMate 1.3, now with XML Catalog support

by Todd Ditchendorf

In a nutshell, the new XML Catalog features allow you to easily configure TeXMLMate to substitute local resources (like DTDs and other schemas) for remote resources referenced by URLs. This allows, for example, convenient validation of XHTML documents against a local (possibly customized) copy of an XHTML DTD without having to change the URLs used in the XHTML doctype to local file paths. Parsing/ validation with local schemas is much faster and allows offline validation.

R bundle: getSig.r function of 'Insert Command Template' problem

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I just found a very tiny bug within the R function getSig.r of that bundle. If you type 'plot.lm' and invoke that command to get the template it gives you a weird output because within the formals you find an item 'caption', and within this item there is a '\n'. The ruby pop down menu, of course, interprets a '\n' as a new line. To avoid this I would include within the getSig.r at line 12 this: 10: if (is.symbol(f[[arg]]) && f[[arg]] == "") arg else list(arg, f [[arg]]) 11: ), 12: function (arg, escape=function(x) ifelse(snippet, {gsub("([\\ $`}])", "\\\\\\1", x);gsub("\n", "", x)}, x)) 13: if (is.list(arg)) i.e. I add a gsub in the 'escape' function to delete each '\n' I don't know whether this will be good. The case is very rarely. Comments? Best, -Hans

TextMate and ActionsScript Bundle How to?

by Zeitler Andreas

Hi there I am very new to programming and ive used to make programm in Flash. Its just a little project and i do programming in my freetime as a hobby. My 30 days of using Flash for free are over (since a half year now ;) and i wanted to re-wake this project and do it without Flash using TextMate and the ActionScript Bundle. I had a look at the Bundle Developer Site and followed the instructions mentioned there. But i still have absolutely NO CLUE what to do. My first intention, just to see how things are working i wanted to make a trace output - which says "Hello World". What am i doing wrong? Ive tried to use the ActionScript template and i did a script which just says trace ("Hello World"); I did use the "Install MTASC Support Files" and i did a try without...nothing happens. Can anybody help or does know where i get some information? Thanks for your help ================================== Zettt azeitler(a)zettt.de ==================================

I've been trying to set the foldingStartMarker and foldingStopMarker for a simplified variant of Markdown but have had no success. The file would look something like this # First heading # Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Suspendisse vel nunc. Suspendisse egestas erat vitae pede. Phasellus quis libero et tortor commodo auctor. Sed et erat. Aliquam sed lectus. Fusce semper elit nec ipsum. Morbi sem nisl, tristique id, venenatis quis, gravida sed, neque. Etiam ut felis. Curabitur leo magna, molestie vitae, blandit et, fringilla vitae, purus. # Second heading # Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Suspendisse vel nunc. Suspendisse egestas erat vitae pede. Phasellus quis libero et tortor commodo auctor. Sed et erat. Aliquam sed lectus. Fusce semper elit nec ipsum. Morbi sem nisl, tristique id, venenatis quis, gravida sed, neque. Etiam ut felis. Curabitur leo magna, molestie vitae, blandit et, fringilla vitae, purus. # Third heading # etc I'd like to fold so that only the heading lines show. The foldingStartMarker is easy: foldingStartMarker = '^# +'; But I can't get a foldingStopMarker that works. What I'd like to use is a blank line followed by a positive lookahead to a line that starts with a hash and a space, but foldingStopMarker = '^$\n(?=^# +)'; doesn't work, even though that regex works in the Find dialog box. Are the start and stop markers restricted to single line patterns? The manual suggests that, but it isn't explicit. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Dr. Drang

Octave output

by baptiste auguie

Hi, Running Octave scripts from Textmate using Matlab bundle works fine, but I'm not sure what sort of output I should use. I have set it to 'Show as HTML', since I don't want to create a new file for each run and the tooltip option is too volatile. The only problem is the text comes out without any line breaks, which is very painful to read especially when it comes to vectors and matrices. Any tip? thanks, baptiste __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? En finir avec le spam? Yahoo!

Additional HTML commands/snippets

by Brett Terpstra

Not a lot of explanation needed. These are all XHTML compliant, some include self closing tags and do not offer the option to avoid this, so some work may be necessary. In fact, there will probably be a lot of disagreement over how to handle a few things, and my feelings won't be hurt. Take this as a suggestion, and perhaps overkill. I actually prefer to just use the generic "insert open/close tag" these days, but agree that there are times that typing a tag and hitting tab would be convenient. Brett

ftp integration

by Peter Michaux

Hi, I have to work remotely on one website and can only test if the files are on the server. I would like to integrate an ftp client with textmate. I have been using CyberDuck but perhaps Panic's Transmit would be better, I'm not sure. If I could get the work flow down to just the following I would be happy. cmd-s to save the file cmd-u to upload the file (or changed files) cmd-tab to switch to firefox cmd-r to refresh the page I don't know how the textmate integration would work. If I am working on a variety of files from a variety of directories on the server, should I have these files in one textmate project or should I have them open individually. If I want to have all the files in a project can I have just the file I'm working on or would i need to have the complete directories on the server in which these files exist? Thank you, Peter -- Fork JavaScript: http://forkjavascript.org

Ruby code completion

by Pieter de Bie

Hey guys, I know that you're trying to create a code completion library for Ruby (however, I wasn't a member of this list when those messages were posted, so I'm unable to reply to them). I wondered if you are aware of the existence of rct-complete, part of the rcodetools[1]? I believe the current implementation in the Experimental bundle only does static completion. rct-complete, however, can do a lot more: http://frim.frim.nl/ss/Picture%20239.png It actually knows the class get_new() returns, and thus won't suggest test_3. Well, good luck with your efforts, I hope to see a stable completion library in the Ruby bundle soon! - Pieter [1] http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?rcodetools

Wordpress Theme Bundle

by Brett Terpstra

The first release of the Wordpress bundle I'm working on is available on my blog[1] and on Ale's SVN server[2]. The bundle is designed to aid in creating templates for Wordpress. It includes snippets for inserting skeletal structures for common template pieces (header, footer, sidebar, loop, headline, etc.) as well as some very detailed plist based commands that serve as references for everything from bloginfo commands to database tables for queries. Most of the commands are snippetized with sample data (ala the Codex) inserted rather than the fairly nondescript definitions that the documentation uses. If I can get a helping hand, I’ll add a few basic templates and a help file, but I’m concentrating on the coding end of things for now. I know there wasn’t much response on the list, but I’ve been getting a lot of requests for this from the masses of new TextMate users via MacHeist and related buzz that’s picking up around the Internets.

GTDAlt: archive completed empty my gtd file?

The action is archived in the log file, but the rest of the contents of the gtd file disappears. I also noticed that when I process my inbox, the window that tells me the result of the processing was also empty (but the processing worked correctly).

LGTD bundle

by Dr. Drang

To further crowd a field amply covered by the GTD, GTD2, and GTDAlt bundles, I've written my own bundle, called LGTD (Little GTD). It uses Markdown syntax for your Next Action lists, coordinates lists between project-oriented views and context-oriented views, and has a command for printing lists to index cards for Hipster PDA users. I've written a few posts about it on my blog, starting with this one http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2006/12/ a_little_more_gtd_with_textmat.html which has links to the later posts. LGTD does very little, but it does what I want. It may do what you want. -- Dr. Drang

Tab Completion Not working

by Dallas Pool

I'm a TM noob so bear with me. I have installed textmate and rails and all that, everything works but TM wont auto complete anything.... if I'm in a migration for instance, and type mcc[tab] all I end up with is mcc. Tab completion wont work in any of my files. I dont know if it makes a diff or not, but I'm using the bluetooth keyboard... So, any advice? Thanks, Dallas -- --------------------------------------- The Code Ninja is swift with his tool, precise in his delivery, and deadly accurate in his execution.

using the howto's from the wiki

by Eben

Hello, I have just started using Textmate as my primary editor. I would very much like to make use of some of the howto's offered in the wiki, but I am a bit confused on how to implement them. I am assuming they are bundles, and are implemented via the bundle editor. At the moment I am specifically interested in this one: - Before: Do Nothing - Command: grep -n '^[[:space:]]*$public\|private\|protected$\?$[[:space:]]\+static\| [[:space:]]\+abstract$\?[[:space:]]\+function' - Std In: Entire Document - Std out: Show in separate win - Pattern: ^(\d+):\s(public|private|protected)?(\s+static|\s+abstract)? \s+function\s+([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*)\s*[(](.*)[)] - Format: $2$3 $4$ $5 $ - Line: 1 which supposedly creates a clickable list of functions for php 4 and 5. Looking at the bundle editor, would I set this up as a php command, or something else entirely? And what would be the actual code placed into the Command(s) box? Any advice is appreciated.

Wordpress Users Unite

by Brett Terpstra

I am working on a Wordpress Theme Bundle for TM, and would like some input. First of all, if this has already been done or someone already has a head start on me, let me know. I am planning to include: Templates for index, archive, page and single Snippets for loop, navigation, queries with all parameters tab-stopped Snippets for all loop-internal hooks (i.e. the_title, the_excerpt, the_content) A command for turning a block into a loop A help file with all of the template hooks linked to the Wordpress Codex Let me know what feedback you have, what you’d like to see, or if there’s an alternate way to go about this (code completion plist?) Thanks, Brett

[PSA] powerbook owners, check your RAM

by Artie Ziff

As a FYI, all Powerbook G4 owners should check your system to see what your system reports as the RAM quantity. Many of the motherboards have a serious defect. Here is a link describing the PowerBook Lower Memory Slot failure. http://lowermemoryslot.editkid.com/ BTW, I got hit with this problem and my serial number was not recognized by Apple as in the affected set.

Scheme formatting

by Timothy J. Wood

The current Scheme (and Lisp) plugins don't seem to format according to the normal usage for these languages. With the following text in TextMate in Scheme mode you get: ----- (define (x y) (let ((a 1) (b 2)) (+ (* a b) y))) ----- This is hard to see in mail unless you have plain text w/fixed pitch on... but paste it into TextMate and align it with Scheme selected. Normally, the 'a' and 'b' in the 'let' form would align and the '(' before the '+' and the '(' after 'let' would align. TextMate makes a mess of this, though. I've looked over the language definitions, but it would seem there is a pretty steep learning cliff and I'd expect that this really should be working already, so I thought I'd check if this is supposed to work or if this is a known deficiency. I can make the formatting at least look properly structured if I drop closing parens onto their own lines, but this results in tons of wasted space: ---- (define (x y) (let ( (a 1) (b 2) ) (+ (* a b) y) ) ) ---- Any hints? Thanks! -tim

Latex suggestion (Refactoring)

by Helge Hartmann

Hi! As Harris is currently working on the latex bundle, I have a suggestion: I sometimes change the header of a section, and so also the label. Even for figures I sometimes change the label. Then I have to search for all references for these labels. So I would be glad if there would be a Rename refactoring for labels and references. Helge

OakTextView API & text selection

by Todd Ditchendorf

I'm working on a couple of TextMate plugins, and I would like to force text selection and possibly scrolling in TextMate's main window ([NSApp mainWindow]). I see that TextMate uses a custom text view class called OakTextView. 1. Is the OakTextView api (header file?) available to the public? 2. Does anyone have any advice to share on how to accomplish text selection in an OakTextView? I can get a reference to the main window's oaktextview in cocoa easily enough. i just don't know how to make it select text. I'd prefer to do this via objc/cocoa. However, if there are applescript hooks to this, those would be of interest too (especially if the oaktextview api is not available). Thanks!!!!

How to include private additions to syntax coloring?

However there is one tricky bit: The > rules that match environments match the spaces before the \begin, > so that they match from the beginning of the line (for coloring the > background more nicely). So if your rule matches only from the > \begin part, it does not matter whether it appears first or not, > since the built-in rule matches EARLIER. So you would need to be > matching those spaces as well. (I've been bitten by this myself ;) ). Sorry for choosing a potentially confusing example. What I meant to say is that I have a custom command for including schemes and figures: \includescheme{scale}{name}{caption} which inserts a centered figure environment, inserts file <name> at scale <scale>, creates a label <name>, and inserts the caption <caption>. So, it is not targeted by the scope mechanism ... But this just served as a specific example. My question was more general. In case I have a custom LaTeX command (any command) that I want to have a syntax colored, i.e., or in case I want to change an existing syntax color behavior, *what is the best way to do it*? I just don't understand yet how to do it so that it does not break forward compatibility. I assume, it would be best to put my own private additions/changes to the syntax coloring into a separate language file, e.g. "LaTeX HF", instead of just writing them into the "LaTeX" language file itself. Is that correct? But, then, how do I either call/include it from the LaTeX file or vice versa? How do I set up such a separate file for my private additions? Thanks.

After I run and typesetting a document with command+R, TM shows me an overview of the appeard errors. At the bottom left of this window, there is a link for previewing the document. Now I have 2 question: 1. How could I achieve that the document is automatically displayed for preview? 2. I instaled the file pdfsync.sty in the following directory: ~/ Library/texmf/tex/latex/pdfsync.sty. In the document I called the packaged with \usepackage{pdfsync}. How do I use pdfsync now?

Re: LaTeX testers needed

by Özgür Gökmen

Harris: The bib file lives in the same working directory, so within the brackets was just the bib filename, not the path. Checked out Revision 6386. Quite strangely, I couldn't get the completion commads work at all -- on the very same tex and bib files. Neither via the key combo, nor via the menu. Basic completion via the esc key failed as well. Pointing to another bib file, I got the citation based on current word command working. Label based on current word command prints the word "exit" within the brackets.

Problems to change a bundle menu structure

Well, this is precisely what I tried to do (and I think it had worked that way until a couple of days ago): I clicked on the LaTeX bundle so that the LaTeX bundle menu structure appeared on the right. I could shuffle around commands and separators in the menu structure, and I could remove commands by dragging them to the "Excluded Items" list. But when I tried to add a new command by dragging a command from the LaTeX bundle command list on the left side into the LaTeX menu structure on the right side (that is the way it is supposed to work, isn't it?), that field (the menu structure) did not accept any input. It just did not work. Any suggestions? Holger

LaTeX typesetting results different in Textmate, TeXshop, others

by Holger Frauenrath

Hello everybody, I noticed that the results of typesetting LaTeX files in Textmate gives different results as compared to other TeX programs (TeXShop, iTeXMac). In this particular case, a PDF graphic file was missing, in which case, the TeX typesetting stops with a fatal error (at least, I think that is what should happen), and no output is produced. Accordingly, TeXing in TeXShop gives (as console output): > LaTeX Warning: File `../Figures/polymerization_triamides.pdf' not > found on input line 133. > > Error: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex > (file ../Figures > /polymerization_triamides.pdf): cannot find image file > ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished! ... and no new PDF file. However, TeXing in Textmate gives: > LaTeX Warning: File `../Figures/polymerization_triamides.pdf' not > found on inpu > > Found 0 errors, and 60 warnings in 0 runs ... and a new PDF file with 0 pages which prompts PDFView to crash upon trying to update. In other words, Textmate behaves as if there was no error. What I find strange is that I thought that the console output was entirely the responsibility of the TeX engine ... and I have for sure only one TeX distribution installed. Are any parameters passed to the TeX engine from Textmate that control this behavior? If so, is there a reason for the current settings? Or what else could be the reason? On a side note, as you see in the example above all warnings are truncated (no matter what size the console window is). Is there away to avoid this? Holger

CodeCompletion Snippetization

by thomas Aylott

Ahoy TextMateys! Prototype'd Javascript now has better escape code completion and option-escape menu code completion. Also, I updated my TextMateCodeCompletion thing again to support basic snippetization of completions. Prototype completions contain a bunch of method arguments. Like this: Thing.method(one,two) Now, when you select a completion from the menu, it'll convert each of the method arguments into snippet placeholders. This is, of course, just a milestone in the road toward full snippet completion support. The eventual goal is that the completions list is just a list of the names, then when you select one, a unique snippet is inserted for that name. The only problem is that we'll either have to duplicate all of the completions in the escape completions list and the menu completions list or else extend the completions list format to work with both escape completion and menu completion. I think the only way to extend the format is to get Allan to hack textmate to support the new version. And I loathe the thought of wasting my time implementing it one way and then having to reimplement it the right way once Allan gets back. I also reorganized the codecompletion library so that it can more easily be used by other stuff. New methods: to_snippet converts the choice you make into a basic snippet and returns a string. (formerly to_s) choice returns the choice that was chosen as a string index returns the index of the array of the item that was chosen thomas Aylott — design42 — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg

Newbie Questions Concerning LaTeX bundle, PDFView etc.

by Holger Frauenrath

Hello everybody, I have a number of relatively basic questions concerning the LaTeX bundle, the "bundle mechanism" in general, as well as Textmate's interaction with PDFView. I am a newbie to Textmate in the sense that I bought a license about 8 months ago but I have not regularly/ seriously used it until now, and I am sure that I have not fully understood some of the basics yet. So, please, excuse me if some of the questions are "stupid" or have been answered on this list or in Textmate's documentation. It would be helpful to just point me to the relevant parts of the documentation in this case. I should say, though, that I followed the discussions on this list in the last 8 months, and I have also used Textmate on and off, I tinkered around in order to fit it to my needs, tried (and partially succeeded) to wrap my mind around the scope selector mechanism etc. I must say that I am really excited about Textmate's potential, in particular, its flexibility in regard of syntax coloring. If I interpret the recent emails to the TeX on MacOS X mailing list correctly, there is quite a need and a desire for a TeX frontend that has some decent capabilities as a text editor but keeps TeXShop's simplicity. This is why I hope that I am not alone with the following questions (because I feel that this email will be relatively long)! There seems to be a place for Textmate among the folks who use TeX on MacOS X. The point is, I *want* to love Textmate, but some of the following issues/questions keep me from using it on a regular basis. So, here we go. 1. What is (strategically) the best way to include my own additions, e.g., to the syntax coloring? The first thing I tried was to change the original LaTeX language file itself, but I soon understood that was not a good idea. The second thing I tried was create my own LaTeX addition file (which would claimall .tex files and at the end include the original LaTeX language file) but that also seemed to break certain things. In relation to this first question, I think I need to understand the following related questions: 2. Do I understand correctly that the "LaTeX bundle" is somehow officially maintained in the sense that certain improvements and additions are included in the official release from time to time? 3. Is there a "version system" for the bundles? I mean, is there a way to tell that I have the latest version of the bundle (or which one I have installed)? 4. Is a new version of a bundle automatically installed with the Textmate updates? 5. What happens to my own additions when a bundle is upgraded? As far as I understand, my additions are stored as "differences" to the original file. But what exactly happens, for example, when I added/ changed a behavior that is later added/modified/deleted in an updated bundle? Furthermore, I have some questions concerning the typesetting process. Let me start with two observations. The first time I installed Textmate, the TeX console window would pop up when I hit "Typeset", and the results would appear in relatively large chunks as HTML output which seemed rather "slow" compared to TeXShop. The window stayed on the screen when the typesetting was finished. The second time I installed Textmate a couple of months later, (on my MacBook Pro, only in case this matters), the large console window would pop up in the middle of the screen briefly during typesetting, and immediately disappear again when typesetting was finished (which is relatively fast on a Macbook Pro!), not leaving me any chance to at least adjust its size and position. 6. Can anybody give me a clue why there is this difference in behaviors? Has the bundle changed in this respect? Does it matter which type of processor it is run on? 7. Can one bring up the TeX console window without typesetting (e.g. in order to change its size/position)? 8. Is there a way to switch its behavior between one of the following options: Appear upon typesetting (i) always; (ii) upon error; (iii) never; (iv) and close when typesetting is finished? 9. In case there is no way to switch the behavior, would it not be a desirable feature? Would it be possible to include in the LaTeX bundle by default? 10. Are there any advantages to display the results formatted as HTML? Would it not be more appropriate (faster) to make it plain text? And, finally, I have a few questions concerning the interaction with PDFView. Let me start with a few comments again. First of all, I find PDFView a really nice tool! Thanks to the developers! It just feels right. Simple, with a clean interface. The only "complaint" that I have (which is not really one) is that having two applications interact still feels more clunky than TeXShop's integrated solution ... I wonder whether there is any chance to see a PDF Previewer with some basic LaTeX specific functionality (pdfsync, click-to-magnify etc.) included in Textmate? In any case ... 11. How am I supposed to view the current selection/cursor position in Textmate in PDFView? Sometimes (and really not always), selecting a word and hitting Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-O seems to work. Is there a better way? For example, one without previously selecting something, or a simple Cmd-click? 12. Why does it sometimes fail to take me to the correct paragraph (showing the page PDFView had previously shown)? Is this a shortcoming of pdfsync? Again, excuse me for this laundry list of questions. Thank you in advance for your answers, a big Thank You to the Textmate/Bundle/PDFView developers for providing such great tools, and I wish you all a Happy New Year.

LaTeX testers needed

by Charilaos Skiadas

I just made some structural changes to the completion commands in the LaTeX bundle, both bibliography and label. It might be a bit slower, and more importantly I might have broken some stuff. So those of you brave enough to try it out, and without a paper deadline in 3 days, please update via svn (both the bundle and the global support directory) and let me know if you encounter any problems. The reason for this change was to remove the large amount of code duplication that existed in these commands. Haris

question: mouse or not?

by Piero D'Ancona

Haris: you mentioned that a command using a mouse is unacceptable. I do not understand this and I am intrigued, would you elaborate? I also hate the mouse and love the keyboard, as any other respectable geek. But this is only because keyboard is much faster and much more accurate. But I have no ideological stance against the mouse. If at some point I find that using a mouse is much more convenient for some purpose, I use it immediately. E.g., I would not draw a picture using the keyboard (neither would you I guess). So the point with the interface for labels is exactly that I feel the keyboard is not the faster tool for the task; clicking in a nice list is indeed faster. I should also mention that I proposed to the PDFView's brilliant developer (Andrea Bergia) to implement a click-on- the-formula feature (you click on the formula in pdf and the \ref is inserted in the tex file...)

R html help

by Paul Levine

Hi Textmate gurus, I have only been messing around with Textmate for a few days now, but I am incredibly impressed, and I can see why it is called "the" text editor for Mac. I had been using TeXshop for LaTeX (which is still a great program, but not nearly as powerful as Textmate), R.app for stats and numerical programming in R, and the X11-based idlde for IDL programming, and now I am glad to be switching to Textmate for all those needs. One thing I am having trouble with, however, is getting the html R help to appear. When I select a valid R command (one for which help (command) in R would bring up the html help page for that command), no help file opens, and the returned tool tip says: /tmp/temp_textmate.eOPTfa:8:in `require': No such file to load -- / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ current_word (LoadError) from /tmp/temp_textmate.eOPTfa:8 I am no scripter, but I looked in the bundle editor at this command, and it is a pretty serious looking ruby script. Will I have to learn ruby to figure out what is going on here? or is it possibly something much more simple that I am overlooking? The first few lines of the ruby script (after the shebang and a comment) are as follows: require "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib/exit_codes" require "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib/escape" require "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib/web_preview" require File.join(ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"], "lib/current_word") require 'base64' now, I don't know anything about ruby, but I am guessing that these are perhaps some environment variables that I need to set in the Textmate preferences? If so, what is the proper way to assign more than one location to the TM_SUPPORT_PATH variable? do I simply put a colon between each absolute path name? If so, that takes care of the first three lines, but the last two are still a mystery to me. If anyone could get me going in the right direction here, I would me most appreciative. Like I said before, I am no sctipter, other than the occasional shell script, but one of the really appealing aspects of Textmate is that it seems like a good way to learn about scripting through useful examples. If the solution to my problem is to learn enough ruby to understand what the script does so I can troubleshoot it, so be it, but in the meantime I wonder if there is a simpler solution? Thanks, Paul
