SSH script

by Jeremy Wilkins

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

Highlight Parentheses Pairs

by Daniel Harple

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

"Go To File" window always empty

by Garrett Coakley

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

Keyboard shortcuts / Services

by Daniel Käsmayr

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

Folding in LaTeX

by Daniel Käsmayr

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

ActionScript function signature

by Dru Kepple

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

Using QuickSilver to access TextMate's bundle menu

by Jeroen van der Ham

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

Managing change in default bundles

by Trevor Harmon

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

Lost Command-S for Saves

by J. De Salvo

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

Line wrap per bundle?

by Eric Coleman

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

Scoping snippets for XML

by Trevor Harmon

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

Selecting text until next found occurrence

by Shiran Pasternak

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

Printing in textmate - hack solution

by Jeremy Wilkins

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

Help finishing Bundle command

by Ken Scott

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

scroll using keys

by David Eriksson

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

Re: latexmk options

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Enhancing the Ruby Bundle

by Sebastian Friedrich

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

Enhancing the Ruby Bundle

by James Edward Gray II

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

Backreferences in regexp search/replace

quick redo last action

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

New Beta coming soon!

by Jeroen van der Ham

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

Java language grammar problems

by Steve Lianoglou

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

Nested comments for a Coldfusion language bundle

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

Great, now I can write my emails in TextMate (which is sooooo much better than Mail.app) using Markdown etc. Also the problem with the PropertyList bundle was odd. I deleted the bundle from Disk and re-imported it from the svsn and now it is available (again?). And as a side note and feature request: Would it not be really great if TextMate would take over in ALL Cocoa Apps? ;) Not just as an InputManager, but as default editing view ;) Ahh, just dreaming again.

tmCodeBrowser-Plugin problems

by Daniel K�smayr

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

CocoaDialog stalls with stdin

by Quinn Comendant

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

Better Code Completition / Automatic Function Prototypes

by Eric Coleman

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

Smartypants

by Oliver Taylor

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

subversion question

by Oliver Taylor

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

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 18, Issue 62

by Ryan J. Bonnell

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

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

PropertyList Bundle keeps getting lost

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Edit in TextMate - Encoding

by Geir-Tore Lindsve

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

Split the project drawer?

by Russell E. Owen

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

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

command with osascript stalls

by Quinn Comendant

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

Java language grammar problems

by Steve Lianoglou

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

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

by Richard Vile

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

Show Invisibles (Spaces) in TextMate?

by Ryan J. Bonnell

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

Bundle Language "Language Definition"

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Text width control

by Afternoon

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

Current scope for themes

by Andreas Wahlin

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

automated RSS feeds with TextMate

by Oliver Taylor

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

Help: Keyboard shortcuts & "Edit In TextMate"

by Daniel K�smayr

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

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

by Daniel K�smayr

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

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

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Python + Regular Expressions Bundle?

by Ryan Wilcox

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

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

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Pimping the LaTeX grammar - trying to, at least

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Bulletin Board bundle

by Jacob Rus

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

What you are really talking about is control of margins within a plain-text document. If this could happen in the display of the text within textmate *only* and not be reflected in the document itself (with real line- breaks), that would be a godsend. I'd use it every day.

latex theme support

by thomas Aylott

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

binding f3 to close window...

by Fons Rademakers

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

unbound variable error

2-pane view

Re: Themes, LaTeX and such

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Half Window View - Extra Space in Text Window

by thomas Aylott

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

Little bit OT: regexp and javascript

by Geir-Tore Lindsve

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

Themes, LaTeX and such

by Daniel K�smayr

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

Introducing the "LaTeX experimental" bundle

by Charilaos Skiadas

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

Reformat paragraph inserting spaces

by Matthew Gilbert

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

Not getting all C symbols

by David Chin

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

new theme, Brilliance Black BETA

by thomas Aylott

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

Poll: Which Langage Do You Use With Textmate?

by Allan Odgaard

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

TextMate selectively refuses to open files.

by Josh DiMauro

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

setting more-than-one name to a language pattern

by Quinn Comendant

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

Problems with vb.asp.net bundle

by John Tsombakos

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

TextMate ant *.txt files encoding

by Yvon Thoraval

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

Customizing Default Bundles

by Ken Scott

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

Possible crisis with $TM_variables

by Andreas Wahlin

I was trying to install the footnote plugin from syncPeople on Rails, and nothing happened. Then I fiddled around a bit and detected that Show Scope didn't work either. So I thought maybe there was a problem with the path $TM_xxx variables (those are paths, mainly, right?). So using appZapper I did a complete reinstall and I think I've put everything in the standard place but still no luck, neither plugin install nor showing of scope works. Any help? I have all bundles activated and I've also activated the macros using the automation menu so as to avoid any keyboard mistypings. Andreas

Nested snippet problem

by Andy Herbert

I've been experiencing a problem in the otherwise excellent Textmate, it's related to tab-completing a snippet within a tab completed snippet, here's a simple example to illustrate my problem: I have created a new text.html document and typed mailto<tab> to get the mailto snippet, now in the href value I am attempting to insert another snippet I've created which is a shortcut for my email address, unfortunately it assumes the shortcut is the value for href, then moves to the subject value. I can understand why Textmate works this way, after all, why would you want to insert a snippet in to a field which expects a literal value, but ideally I would expect it to tab-complete the email address, then another tab to move to the subject field.

Default bundles?

by Sean Schertell

Hi guys, I seem to have somehow hosed my bundles or commands or something. Lot's of things don't work such as CMD+/ for comments or CMD+RETURN for end of line then return, etc. Is there anyway I can get fresh default bundles? Or is there something else I can do to fix these things? Sean :::: DataFly.Net :::: Complete Web Services http://www.datafly.net

Wrap to Page / 80 Columns

by William Bumgarner

Combining themes

by William Bumgarner

I'm just now playing with TextMate for the first time and, of course, had to futz with themes a bit to get to my preferred light-on-dark kinda coding environment.... Question: How do you tell what scope is under the cursor? I found that I really liked Vibrant Ink, but it lacked scope definitions for Objective-C and some of the other modes I end up dealing with. However, the built in Espresso Libre did a pretty good job otherwise. Since copy/paste didn't work in the Prefs pane (Feature! Feature!), I ended up copying the various random settings elements from one plist to the other. Being too lazy to actually sort out the dupes, I wrote a wee bit of python (you'll need PyObjC) that rips through the resulting plist and eliminates duplicate settings (names only). http://svn.red-bean.com/bbum/trunk/hacques/TextMate/ It is dumb. It should normalize by scope. I should fix that. Actually, it really is broken -- it really should normalize by scope. Ah, well.. it'll limp along enough for now. b.bum

too much space in pasting?

by Kearney Buskirk

Hi Folks Let me begin by making clear that I'm not a programmer - I'm trying out TextMate in HTML production, which may or may not be advisable. I have been using TextWrangler for this purpose. The problem I'm having is too much space is being inserted before and after what is actually being copied and pasted, like at least a couple of words length on each end. And that's making messy code. I'm copying out of Dreamweaver and pasting into TextMate. TextWrangler doesn't make this mistake. What am I not understanding? I would prefer to use TextMate - text and code are easier to read and the overall design of this app looks quite advanced to me. I might use it for ActionScript in the future but I probably won't be using 90% of the features. This app is not very accessible to non-programmers. Maybe that's how you prefer it. Some beginning and mid-level tutorials and/or movies would help a lot. The manual is more like a reference book, rather than showing it in application. Just to say you might get better adoption of this beautiful app with better teaching of it. Kearney Buskirk

Restore Function Pop-up while retaining other settings

by Egil Helland

I am a recent convert to TextMate, but for some reason (probably me fooling around in the app) I no longer get any content to show up in the Function/Symbol field down to the right in the editor for my PHP and HTML files. Now I just want to restore the default settings for such files - is this possible while still retaining my other settings? If so, could someone point me in the right direction?

Using TM to View Source in Safari

My apologies if this has been asked before but I hadn't seen it... Is there a way to use TextMate to View Source in Safari (or any browser for that matter)? Gosh would this be handy, I have a safari plugin that at least shows the source in color, but of course, anything I can do in TextMate is better!

TextMate and network filesystem performance

by Geraint North

Hi, I saw some old posts on the mailing list regarding the pause (several seconds) that the user experiences when switching back to TextMate from some other application when a project contains files mounted over NFS. An fs_usage confirms that it probably is the 1000's of fstat() calls that TextMate does when activated that is causing the pause. Is this due to be fixed anytime soon, and in the meantime, has anyone found any workarounds for it? Thanks, Geraint.

little-endian, ruby, and run script

by Albert Vernon Smith

I am writing a script to parse a binary file in ruby. According to the documentation on the file format, the integers are in little- endian format. When I take the script, read the appropriate part of the file, then 'unpack' with 'V' (little-endian), I don't get the right answer from the internal "Run script" command. I do get the right answer if I change to unpack with 'N'. However, if run from the command line against Apple Ruby (/usr/bin/ruby 1.8.2) or against Ruby compiled with DarwinPorts (/opt/local/bin/ruby 1.8.4), I get the appropriate result with 'V' (as I should). This seems to be a bug to me, though I'm not sure I'm missing something here. Can someone either confirm this is a bug, or alternatively explain to me why things are behaving in this way. -albert

Automated links for Markdown

by Dr. Drang

I now have two macros that automate the creation of [reference-style links][1] for Markdown documents. The first is used while you're typing and you come to a spot where you want to add a link. It's documented [here][2] and [here][3]. The second is used when you want to select some text already in the document and turn it into a link. It's documented [here][4]. Thanks to the members of the list who gave me pointers.

Getting to end of selection in macro

by Dr. Drang

I am working on an macro in which the selected text will be filtered through one command and then all the text after the selection will be filtered through another command. After the first command is finished, the transformed text is selected, and I need to deselect it and put the caret immediately after it. I had thought that hitting the right arrow key would do the trick, but found out [that doesn't always work][1]. Is there a foolproof way of getting the caret to land right after the selection? And while I'm asking questions, two more: 1. Is there a way for a command to call a macro? 2. Can a macro be made to behave differently depending on whether text is selected or not?

TextMate and TeXniscope - Fails opening pdf

I have set the TM_LATEX_VIEWER variable to TeXniscope, and in TeXniscope I have set the editor command path to /usr/local/bin/mate and the editor arguments to %file -l %line. When I typeset the document, TeXniscope doesn't open at all and the log window shows this message: ****************************************** Compiling LaTeX...

ANN: Keyref - A TextMate shortcut key reference PDF generator

by Chris McGrath

Hi all, I'd like to announce Keyref, a little app for turning TextMate's keyboard shortcut list into a PDF reference card. Go to http:// keyref.octopod.info and follow the instructions to generate your own. You can choose up to eight of the bundles you have installed to add to the card and generate as many as you want. I built this because I switched to TextMate just over a month ago and found myself very lost initially. Several people found the first card I generated useful so I decided other people might and ended up with the web app. It takes the shortcut list TextMate generates, so will include all your own shortcuts as well as the standard ones. If you find this useful, or have any problems, please let me know. Cheers, Chris http://keyref.octopod.info

Tracking and resolving dependencies

by Eric O'Brien

I'm interested if there is a way or technique (or even "trick") that will allow me to track and resolve naming dependencies in a TextMate project. Specifically, I'm thinking of the situation where, as I develop a web site, I decide that I need to move or rename an existing file. In order to prevent the website from breaking, I must then locate and change any and all references to that file in ALL of the files in the project. I can use Find and Replace in Project to accomplish that, but this is hardly proactive on the part of TextMate. I have to stop to do it, or *remember* to do it later. If I were using GoLive or Dreamweaver I assume that if I changed the name of a file in a project, I'd get a message that that file was referenced in "X" number of files and would I like to update all those files to reflect the new name? Is there any way now (or might there be any way in the future) to handle this situation? I'm not programming in C or the like, but it seems to me that a similar situation could occur there: Say that for some reason you change the name of an include or header file... you'll be into a real mess if you don't detect all the locations in the code where that file is referenced and change it! OR... if you change a variable name for some reason, references to that name will need to be changed (even though we aren't changing a FILE name in that case). Thanks, eo

excluding match from language pattern

"' "); The pattern I've come up with so far: { name = 'meta.scope.sql'; begin = '(dbQuery|DB::query)$"|\$\w*(sql|where)\w*\s*=\s*"'; end = '"$|";'; patterns = ( { include = 'source.sql'; }, ); contentName = 'source.sql.embedded'; }, I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated.

bracket matching feature??

by ke han

I have playing with TextMate for about a week and don't seem to find a "bracket" matching feature. Example, when I double click on a { or [ or (, the match closure is found and all code in between is highlighted. Or something to that effect. I have seen other editors simply highlight both the begin and end characters when the cursor is on one of them. Am I missing something obvious or does this not exist? thanks, ke han

LaTeX section snippets: special chars don't get escaped in label

by Oliver Hagmann

Hi Here's a question for the latex pro's: Do you know if special characters like german umlauts are allowed in labels? e.g.: \section{Mein grünes Apfelbäumchen} \label{mein_grünes_apfelbäumchen} It works when typesetting the document. I just wanted to know if this is valid code. Because if _not_ then it would be nice, if these would be escaped automagically when using the section, subsection and subsubsection snippets. E.g.: \section{Mein grünes Apfelbäumchen} \label{mein_gruenes_apfelbaeumchen} If it's easier to accomplish, you could also just escape a for ä, u for ü, and o for ö, etc. Another nice enhancement would be if the \section and \label commands would each be on a seperate line. I just asked about the oppinions on this in the irc channel and I got at least one more vote for this ;-) Cheers. Oliver

Arrow behavior with selected text--bug?

by Dr. Drang

When I select a word by double-clicking on it and then hit either the left or right arrow key, I expect the word to be deselected and the caret to end up at the start or end of the word. This isn't what TM [Version 1.5 (906)] is doing for me now, and its breaking a macro I'm trying to create. It appears that hitting an arrow key with text selected by double- clicking puts the caret one character to the left or right of where the double-click happened. No other current Mac program that I use does this, nor can I remember any other Mac program ever behaving this way (going back to 1985). So, unless I've inadvertently changed some setting to start this behavior, I would call this a bug. FYI, the arrow keys work as expected when the selection is made by swiping or shift-clicking. -- Dr. Drang

Screenwriting bundle 2.0

by Oliver Taylor

I've released version 2 of my screenwriting bundle. release: http://ollieman.net/words/2006/03/ screenwriting_with_textmate_20.php bundle: http://ollieman.net/code/screenwriting/textmate/ --- I've tried to document it into the ground, which is the reason there are so many instructional videos. (I hope you finally understand what I'm doing, Haris) From the release: > It may seem oblique that the reason I learned the first bit of CSS > and XHTML I did was because late one night I was pissed off at > Final Draft for crashing for the 3rd time in a row. I was convinced > that there had to be a better way, that there had to be a way to > write screenplays that didn’t hurt. I don’t remember why this > propelled me to CSS, but it did. > > Well, I can now firmly say that I have found a way of writing > screenplays that doesn’t hurt. Never-mind that I had to build it > myself, never-mind that the process took me over a year. I’ve found > it. I'd like to take a second and thank all of you for helping me with this. It's an amazing thing that I've managed to build for myself (at least) an end-to-end solution for writing screenplays that I actually enjoy using. And no small part of that is due to the users of this list, you have made this a learning experience that has resulted in a useful tool. It's not just that TextMate is my new favorite app. It's that I feel as though Allan and the community around TextMate are genuinely working together to advance the quality of our collective writing environments; it's not just features and buttons, it's progress. And for that, I cannot thank you enough. -- oliver ollieman.net

select paragraph and line

by Oliver Taylor

Just a quick question this time. Is there any practical difference between 'edit›select›paragraph' & 'edit›select›line'? I expected that 'select›paragraph' would not select the newline at the end of the string, leaving me free to delete a block of text and not remove the line itself from the document. This (expected) behavior would really be nice for some macros I'm working on. — oliver

hint: documentation popup with ruby on rails development

by David Smiley

I've been using TextMate for Ruby on Rails development for over a month now. One thing I missed from some Java IDEs was documentation popup. With TextMate, you can hit control-H on a symbol and the Ruby bundle will use `ri` to try to find it. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. However, Ruby gems (such as Rails) are not processed for use by ri. To do that, you have to do it manually. I performed the following this task with just one command on the terminal: rdoc --ri-site /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/act*/lib The '*' will expand to all of the active... action... stuff that is for rails. Once this completes (which will take a few minutes), you can finally use control-H for rails related classes and methods and get quick access to documentation. Sweet! Oh, for some caveats on this technique, check out this URL: http://www.codecomments.com/archive327-2005-5-510886.html So basically this technique isn't perfect but it's better than before. ~ Dave Smiley

Extremely slow pasting of text

by Michael Ströck

Hi all, I'm having problems with big files. TextMate, for me, is practically unuseable for many applications, and I'm not sure wether something is wrong, or I'm just witnessing limitations of the app itself. TextMate takes upwards of 3 minutes to paste moderately long pieces of text (30-70 KB) without line breaks. I use TextMate to edit Wikipedia entries, which are sometimes badly formated. Thirty thousand characters and not a newline in sight. When I copy texts like that and try to paste them into TextMate, it practically dies. Three times out of five, it won't recover. If it comes back, it's unbearably slow and practically unuseable. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue? I am on a G4 1,25GHz with 1 GB of RAM. Firefox's textfields can handle pasting and editing of 1MB snippets (I tried) without a hitch, EVEN in those JavaScript rich editor abominations, which probably aren't the most optimized pieces of code ever to parse text. And that's with all the other crap going on, like 10 tabs open and several exensions installed. What's going on? Michael Ströck

Unable to create files from templates

by Sing

Hey all, I just started tasting TextMate today, great app. I was wondering is there any trick to get "creating files from templates" functional? I mean nothing happen when I click the "create" button. Here's some error from my console.log that I guess which is related to the problem I'm facing: 2006-03-07 18:26:01.742 TextMate[2305] Error laoding '/Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Java.tmbundle/Templates/ addrbook.awk/info.plist' as Templates 2006-03-07 18:26:01.742 TextMate[2305] Error laoding '/Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Java.tmbundle/Templates/ templatize.sh/info.plist' as Templates Tank you for your help.

Combining snippets and commands?

by Dr. Drang

When writing Markdown, I like to use reference-style links: [link text][id] . . <rest of text> . . [id]: http://www.site.com I've written a snippet that does some of what I want: [${1:description}][${2:id}]$0 [${2:id}]: ${3:href} but it puts the reference on the line below the link rather than at the bottom of the file. Although I haven't done it, I suspect that writing a command that takes the link label line and puts it at the bottom of the file wouldn't be too difficult. But before I give it a try, I'd like to know if it's possible to combine the snippet and the command into a single instruction that allows me to enter the 3 pieces of information, puts the link label at the bottom of the file, and leaves the caret back at the [id]. -- Dr. Drang

Persistent Includes?

by csilver_junk＠mac.com

Hello, I've been a lurking member of this list for some time, but this is my first attempt at posting. I've been trying out TextMate in demo mode and plan to buy it because it's nearly perfect for the way I work, but I have a couple questions I'm hoping somebody could clear up for me. I'm not a programmer, so please forgive me if my questions seem somewhat elementary. I do, however, use the Terminal quite often for shell commands, and I understand PHP well enough to write code for my own purposes. I prefer coding my web pages by hand, and I'm fluent in XHTML and CSS and competent in XSLT. I'm a bit anal about clean coding, usability, and accessibility (both for the end user and for me when writing my pages). For these reasons among others, I've been disappointed by virtually all of the website generation applications and/or scripts I've tried. It seems they require lots of convoluted configuration that just gets in my way. Besides, I'd rather just do it all myself with flat text files, using scripting just to generate the headers, footers, navigation, etc. I'm not necessarily concerned with TextMate's ability to do the many super-complicated things it obviously can do, as I probably won't use most of it myself. However, I'm wondering if it has a feature similar to the Persistent Includes available in BBEdit. I have examined the manual and read about how to use snippets, templates, commands, and the like, and I understand how these could be used to make my life easier. The problem is that I haven't figured out if there's a way to re-parse an entire project or certain files within a project after I've made changes that will affect the output. For instance, if I've used a script to output links to all the files contained in the directory (as a navigation menu of sorts) but later add more files to that same directory, I'd like to be able to re- generate the entire site so that those new files show up in the menu. Likewise, if I've generated prev/next links to other files in the same directory, I'd like to have them updated without having to manually type the new hyperlinks into each and every file of the site. I know I could use PHP or server-side includes or something similar (and I have written a simple php function to do just that), but I'd really like to generate static web pages because having dynamic pages online really isn't necessary for what I'm doing (also, I can upload the same files both to .Mac and to my virtual host, for example). If nothing resembling Persistent Includes is available in TextMate, another viable option would be to auto-generate the output of an entire project but save it to a new directory on my system using the same hierarchy of the original project. That way, I can simply re- generate it whenever I need to. In fact, that would probably be a simpler solution than the Persistent Includes idea, but of course you all probably know much more about how to efficiently accomplish this than I do. Also, if anyone could point me in the direction of a good streamlined tutorial on how to use shell scripts in an environment such as TextMate, perhaps I can figure it out on my own. The TextMate manual is nice, but something more tutorial-like would help a lot. Sorry for the long post - it actually started out longer with more details about my background and what I do, but I figured people may get annoyed, so I cut it. If I need to further clarify exactly what I need to accomplish, please ask, but I suspect most of you are quite familiar with BBEdit and know about how Persistent Includes work and how they differ from regular Includes. Thanks, Crystal

MediaWiki bundle + Ruby library for interfacing w/ wiki pages

by Andrew Dupont

I've made a bit of progress in writing a MediaWiki bundle, the goal of which would be to allow one to use TextMate as an external editor on Wikipedia and other sites using the MediaWiki software. I've written an alpha version of a Ruby library to machine-read/screen- scrape wiki pages -- for example: page = new MediaWiki::Page('TextMate') page.contents.gsub!(/Textmate/, 'TextMate') page.save('Corrected capitalization') I've also built a few proof-of-concept TextMate commands -- fetch selection from Wikipedia, etc., and have done a very small amount of work on a MediaWiki syntax grammar (though the one described here <http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2006-January/ 007623.html> might be further along). In short, I'm trying to replicate as much as possible of the functionality of mwjed <http://www.djini.de/software/mwjed/>, a jEdit plugin with the same purpose. This would include being able to configure multiple wikis independently, log in, etc., so the bundle will have to keep track of a bit of configuration info. If anyone is interested in contributing to this project in any way, or has any ideas on how I can more elegantly keep track of a wiki "instance" across individual pages, please let me know. I'm decent enough in Ruby to get by (though my code could definitely benefit from another pair of eyes), but if you've got specific expertise in Objective-C I'd love your assistance in writing some dialogs like the ones in the Subversion bundle. The bundle is in no way ready for inclusion in the bundle repository, but I can share what I've got with anyone who's interested. I invite questions, comments, and general ridicule. Cheers, Andrew Dupont http://andrewdupont.net

Latest Python Bundle?

by Owen Densmore

I'm using TextMate 1.5 (906), and just starting to get involved with a couple of Python projects. I watched the Python screencast by Domenico Carbotta .. quite nice! But there are a few snippets missing, I think. I'd like to use for<tab> to build a for-loop template. Ditto for all the controls like if, ifelse, while, and possibly a few others. Are these in the Subversion repository? I tried to download the entire bundle set from svn using the instructions on: http://macromates.com/wiki/Main/SubversionCheckout but it had an error. So basically I'm looking for a bit more python help in TM but not sure how to proceed. Thanks! -- Owen Owen Densmore http://backspaces.net - http://redfish.com - http://friam.org

Crash when aborting svn commit

by Gerd Knops

I have TM set to be the editor for the svn commit messages. I run 'svn commit' from a terminal window, but then changed my mind and aborted with 'Ctrl-C'. The tab in TM containing the log entry file disappeared, leaving an empty spot in its place (TM window background). TM crashed a couple of clicks later... Relevant part of the crash log below. Seems reproducible, though looks different on screen depending on the window history.

How to: Change command / format

by Eric Coleman

I didn't know about command + / till the other day, however i've run into a minor issue. If I have source like the following: function do_me() { /* this was some old shit */ /* $var = blah */ echo 'hello'; } the command + / shortcut will turn it into: /*function do_me() { /* this was some old shit */ /* $var = blah */ echo 'hello'; }*/ which is deffinitly a no go. how could I change it so that it would result in: // function do_me() // { // /* this was some old shit */ // /* // $var = blah // */ // // echo 'hello'; // } Thanks, Eric Coleman

Specifying a 'funky' file path

by Gavin Kistner

I am (almost done) writing an HTML output script for my Lua bundle which (among other things) provides TextMate links for syntax error codes. I put one of my files in a path with a space in the name, and it took me a fair amount of experimenting to figure out how TextMate and Lua independently wanted to see the URL. The raw path as supplied in the argument list is: /Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork butt/bling/tmp.lua To pass that to Lua, I needed to escape the space char: file_path = Pathname.new( ARGV[0].gsub( %r{([^\w/.])}, '\\\\\1' ) ) #=> /Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork\ butt/bling/tmp.lua To create the parameter for the TextMate URL, I needed to NOT have that escaping. If I perform HTML escaping (for valid HTML) the space may not be represented as a '+' char, but must be a %20. WORK: <a href='txmt://open?url=file:///Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork butt/ orxit.lua&line=6'> <a href='txmt://open?url=file%3A%2F%2F%2FUsers%2Fgavinkistner% 2FDesktop%2Fpork%20butt%2Forxit.lua&line=6'> DON'T WORK: <a href='txmt://open?url=file:///Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork\ butt/orxit.lua&line=6'> <a href='txmt://open?url=file%3A%2F%2F%2FUsers%2Fgavinkistner% 2FDesktop%2Fpork+butt%2Forxit.lua&line=6'> The Ruby code to create the valid URL param: htmlpath = CGI.escape( "file://" + File.expand_path( path+file, file_dir ).gsub( /\\(.)/, '\\1' ) ).gsub('+','%20') As a more pathological case, I renamed the folder in Finder to "pork \ % / butt" The "/" in the name is apparently a ":" on the file system: gavinkistner$ cd pork\ \\\ %\ \:\ butt/ gavinkistner$ pwd /Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork \ % : butt My code produces: <a href='txmt://open?url=file%3A%2F%2F%2FUsers%2Fgavinkistner% 2FDesktop%2Fpork%20%5C%20%25%20%3A%20butt%2Forxit.lua&line=6'> and it works. Yay! :)

Mercurial bundle: other shortcut than cmd-H

by Oliver Hagmann

Hello there I just noticed that the new Mercurial bundle uses cmd-H to activate its commands. I use this shortcut very often for hiding Textmate and other applications. It's a system wide shortcut for hiding applications. So I might not be the only one doing this. It's no big problem for me since I can always disable the bundle with the filter. All the same it might be a good idea to change it to anoter shortcut. Cheers. Oliver

Growl instead of tool tips

by David Levy

>I don't know if you use Growl but it's pretty versatile. You can >choose the place where it pops up, the type of notif. (even speech or >mail - not that useful for TM), the icon, how long it stays, etc. on >per command basis (even over a network). So it can be used for notif. >of background tasks as well for "instant feedback on the command >executed". Allan I think you use this discussion list as a user feedback collection point. In which case, FWIW, I would be very glad for Growl support too for the reasons stated above. Growl is highly configurable, usable in a persistent, immediate and coalesced modes and very OS X. I find tooltips fiddly and non-persistent. I use most text at 14 points and I find tooltips bothersome to read. cheers David.

Growl instead of tool tips

by Fred B.

Hi, Is there any way to replace tool tip output with Growl[1] for the svn bundle? Tool tips are the only "non-sticky" output, but they are so non- sticky that I sometimes cant read them at all. If the cursor is not at the right place (99% of the time as I use a tablet pen), this is a real nightmare. I can't find a way to catch the output of the command, if I could I'd send it to Growl thru growlnotify (Shell) or Ruby-Growl. So my questions are: 1) How can I catch the output of svn commands? 2) More generally, wouldn't it be nice to add Growl to the output options? What do you think Allan? For those who don't know it: Growl is a central notification system for Mac OS X. It's free and released under BSD license. What is nice is that you can configure how notifications will look, if they are sticky, etc. per applications. Applications can access it through Cocoa and Carbon API or Applescript, Ruby, Perl, Java, TCL, Python, Shell, etc. Here are some scrennshots[2] and the huge list of apps using Growl[3] [1]: http://growl.info/ [2]: http://growl.info/screenshots.php [3]: http://growl.info/applications.php -- FredB

State of autocompletion in Textmate

by Ruben Bakker

I'm interested how it would be possible to create an autocompletion plugin/bundle for Textmate and ruby. I realize there is ESC, but I would like to open a menu with say CTRL-SPACE and then see all the possible completions based on the entered characters. Then when I continue typing in the editor, the menu adjusts it's contents to show only the matching entries. The user can navigate the menu and choose an entry to be inserted in the editor. Like auto completion in eclipse, Visual Studio or XCode. I found this article: http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/06/09/code-sense/ and wonder what the actual state of code sense is in Textmate. Is it possible to create a Plugin/Bundle that controls an auto completion menu? Ruben

Extra indentation in Markdown mode

by Dr. Drang

I take class notes on my laptop in Markdown and organize them in a locally-hosted blog. Last week was the first week I used TextMate instead of BBEdit for this, and I was occassionaly getting an extra level of indentation while typing in code blocks. For example, in one section of my notes I typed this: | #include<vector> | | vector<int> v; // vector of zero elements | vector<int> v(250); // vector of 250 elements, initialized to zero | vector<time24> t(10); // 10 elements, all set to 00:00 Each line is indented by four spaces (the pipe characters are meant to represent the left margin), which Markdown will wrap in <pre> and <code> tags. I have TM (version 1.5 [906]) set to use soft tabs of 2 characters each. I found that hitting the Return key after each of these lines (other than the blank one) would put the cursor on the next line with an indentation of 6 spaces instead of 4. This may be a red herring, but the extra indentation seemed to occur only after lines that had an angle-bracked pair, like <xxx>, in them. So in this excerpt | #include<iostream> | #include<vector> | #include "d_random.h" | using namespace std; the extra indentation occurred after the first two lines, but not after the second two. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? -- Dr. Drang

tm & symfony

by David Clark

Hi all, I have come across an interesting conundrum that I wonder if anyone else has dealt with. (it goes without saying that I am now a tm fanatic and don't know how I lived without it). I am starting to work with Symforny -- a php5 framework. I have a tm project for my sf project, but have discovered that the existence of the ._files is interfering with the execution of the symfony command (ie it sees ._schema..xml as "empty" and does not use the correct schema.xml file). I found 19.4 in the manual, and I want to know if that is my only option -- I would rather not sacrifice metadata.

mate link creation error

by Brian Caldwell

Hi - Using TM v.1.5 (906), I selected Terminal Usage... from the Help menu. I got a message window titled "Enhanced Terminal Usage" which explained about the shell command "mate" and asked where to create a symlink. I left the default location as /usr/bin and clicked then "Create Link" button. The standard admin user authentication box pops up, I enter the secret password. Then I get a error message box that says: Couldn't Create Link Creating the link "/usr/bin/mate" failed with the following reason: Operation not permitted Hmmm. I check to see if mate is in /bin. Nope. Okay let's check /usr/ bin. Ahh a symlink but not a valid one. The link is /Users/aurora/ Desktop/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate. The correct link should be /Users/aurora/Desktop/TextMate/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate. Which in turn is a symlink to ../SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate where it truly is. So, I deleted the bad symlink at /usr/bin and recreated it properly. After a rehash, where mate shows it at /usr/bin/mate. And mate -h returns help as it should. Conclusion: whatever process or command within Textmate that created the original (bad) symlink in /usr/bin needs to get tweaked to add the TextMate bundle (Textmate) into the source file name. The Textmate app name (TextMate.app) is fine, but both are needed. Hope this helps, Brian Caldwell

Crash with \n in symbol transform

by Gavin Kistner

A very minor issue, but if I use the symbol transform to place a \n in the output for the symbol, TextMate insta-quits when I load up a file using that language. The specific example that crashes for me: { showInSymbolList = 1; symbolTransformation = ' s/([a-zA-Z_.:]+)[.:]([a-zA-Z_]\w*)/$1\n $2/g '; } Like I say, very, very minor - I would have been surprised if the symbol had actually displayed on multiple lines.

Code folding suggestion/bug report/feature request

by Daniel Svoboda

Hello, I just have one suggestion for your otherwise beautiful text editing. Can you please make code folding to display also an end tag of the block. Now when the code is folded I can see "if {..." but the end tag is not visible. I think it should display even the terminating "}", like "if {...}" or "<hr>...</hr>". Not seeing the terminating tag makes the document with folded code simply unreadable, especially if the document is big and there is lots of code folded. I am always searching for where the end of my block was gone. Maybe it is only me, but I found it very confusing. Can you please fix/adapt it? And if it's only me, it would be nice to have preferences for it, only for me :) Thanks, Daniel

showInSymbolList not working

by Gavin Kistner

I'm trying to play with symbol list definitions, and things aren't working for me. I've created a language to play with: { scopeName = 'source.gk'; fileTypes = ( 'gk' ); patterns = ( { name = 'heading'; match = '^((=+) (.+) \2)\s*$'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'heading.gk'; }; 2 = { name = 'heading.depth'; }; 3 = { name = 'heading.title'; }; }; }, ); } And a source file that matches it: = Heading 1 = == Heading 1.1 == It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. * And this * Is wh a...z t I mean ...and there we go == Heading 1.2 == = Heading 2 = Using colorings in my own Theme, I can tell that the scope "source.gk heading.gk" is being applied to the headings. Now I want them to show up in the symbol list. I've created a new Preferences part in the bundle: /* preferences */ { showInSymbolList = 1; } and set the scope for that Preference to "source.gk heading.gk". Unfortunately, nothing shows up in the Symbol list. If I quit and restart TextMate, the contents of the Preference are unchanged. (I noticed that if I put bad syntax into this preference and quit/restart, the change doesn't stick. It would be nice if there was a better way to "Test" if the preference is valid or not.) I'm using Version 1.5 (906) under MacOS X 10.4.5. I can send a full dump from System Profiler if the above does not explain why symbols aren't working for me.

TODO on 10.3.9

by stephen hamilton

Hi The updated TODO works very nicely on osX 10.4 (my computer at home). However, at work im using osX 10.3.9 (still waiting for the upgrade!). I updated the bundles this morning and now when I run TODO I get: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/textmate.rb:3:in `require': No such file to load -- set (LoadError) from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/textmate.rb:3 from /tmp/ temp_textmate.3IDEea:3:in `require' from /tmp/temp_textmate.3IDEea:3 Anyone got any ideas?

Errors running Ruby in Textmate

by Jonathan Waddilove

I have started making use of the 'Run Script' feature for ruby files I'm editing. All works fine and then I start to get this error: /Applications/Tools/TextMate/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tm bundle/Support/tmruby.rb:115:in `sub': wrong argument type nil (expected Regexp) (TypeError) from /Applications/Tools/TextMate/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tm bundle/Support/tmruby.rb:115 Quitting and restarting TM bypasses the problem, but it would be good to have it fixed! I'm on OS X 10.4.5, I'm willing to provide more info if that helps... Thanks in advance - Jonathan

Thanks to both Haris and Timothy for replying so quickly to this....I guess not having multiline matching in the syntax explains it...thought I was going nuts! The workaround as suggested by both was to preprocess the sequence files (iterating over the entries using simple BioPerl - I'm pulling the data on the fly from a RDMS anyway) and add a tab to the end of each FASTA record...this tab is both invisible and unique to the end of each entry and everything collapses as I want... BTW, not only is TextMate amazing for programming/markup etc, it is also awesome for bioinformatics analysis...I use v. large genome datasets (flat file and RDMS) with scripting the primary mechanism of retrieving/analyzing the data...I used to use NEdit but have ported everything over to TextMate...using column selection, I can push fields (like sets of gene names) as input to perl/shell scripts that query the db and return the data formatted and highlighted...am finding new stuff to do with it every day...

problems with regex

by tandemrepeat

Hi, This is not a TextMate problem...rather a user issue but would appreciate any advice... I'm trying to set up folding...the file format look like this (FASTA DNA sequence format) - >text agagagtttttttttt...(typically 60chars) ...multiple lines of above, number of lines varies per record >text2 agagagtcgtttta . . . Setting foldingStartMarker is easy i.e; (^>) but it's foldingStopMarker whcih is proving to be tricky. As I see it, need to match the last line immediately before a new entry denoted by ^> . I figure a look-ahead assertion regex is required...something like - [AGTCagtc]+ # match any string of ACGT (?=\n^>) # positive look ahead for new line followed by > But can't get this or numerous minor variants to work at all... Any insight greatly appreciated (and apologies if this is an inappropriate post for the forum)

Suggestion - Function popup

by Charles Laine

First of all, I love TextMate. It's worth the price of a Mac just to have such an awesome editor at one's disposal. With that said, I have a feature request. ;-) It would be nice if the function dropdown could be relocated to the top of the window. CodeWarrior had its function dropdown up at the top. BBEdit has it up there and XCode has it up at the top too. It's more familiar to have it at the top. Second, and more importantly to me, having it at the bottom often causes me to overshoot with my mouse and end up in dock territory. If you have dock magnification turned on, then you know what happens next. It would be nice to have a configurable layout so that the UI widgets could be tailored to one's individual preferences.

Crash on changing file-type

by Max Westen

Hi there, I'm posting here because I don't know if this has to be classified as a bug and/or if someone has a possible solution for me.... Whenever I'm pressing the "filetype" switchbar at the bottom of the screen, TM crashes. The weird part is, it worked allright before. I tried switching to another local user. Textmate didn't crash while at the other users account. I thought it had something todo with the usersettings, so I tried deleting the com.macromates.textmate.plist file from the ~/Preferences folder. To no avail. Does anyone know what i could try next to get things running smoothly again ? Thanks in advance, Max -- http://DLmax.org

Automated way to keep SVN repository in sync with local files?

by Sean Schertell

This might be a dumb question, but is there ANY elegant solution for keeping my Subversion repository in sync with my local files *including* adding files, deleting files, renaming files? I'm really trying to get religious about keeping all my projects under version control, but I find it such a pain in the arse to have to remember to do svn add, svn delete, svn rename whenever I decide to reorganize my project files. In every project I do, I always get to a point about halfway in where I say -- okay, this is messy -- let's combine these files, delete this one, and rename these more descriptively. Then my SVN repository gets all out of whack and refuses to let me make anymore commits, and that's the end of version control for that project. Happens every time. Ideally: It would be so nice if I could sync my TM project to my SVN repository directly. If I rename something in the drawer, it gets renamed in the repository too. Delete files? Add files? Same thing. Is there some way to do this already? If not, how do you guys handle this issue? And if not, any chance of adding this functionality in a future release? Could a bundle be created to do this? Sean :::: DataFly.Net :::: Complete Web Services http://www.datafly.net

TODO List

by Soryu

Hi, in an attempt to do some ruby I have revamped the TODO list command again, completely. It's now written in Ruby using ERB with a template. • It removes a bug from the older TODO comment which would descend into subdirectories for non-project files. So if you had a file in / and invoked the TODO command it would scan your complete Volume. • It sorts according to TODO/FIXME/CHANGED categories • and numbers the items, so you see how much work there is still todo :) Soryu.

Best way to implement vim-like block comments?

by Corey O'Connor

One thing I liked about vim was the continuation of the "*" down the same column for each line in a block comment. So something entered like: (* Hello! Blah would be formated to: (* Hello! * Blah I implemented this in the O'Caml language by changing the block comment language rule to: { name = 'comment.block.ocaml'; begin = '$(\*.*)$?$'; end = '\*\)'; beginCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'comment.block.ocaml.begin'; }; }; }, And adding two snippets for the return key: One for the scope comment.block.ocaml.begin that would return, space in, and add a "* ". One for comment.block.ocaml that would only return and add a "* ". Xefore I charge off and add this for C, is this the best way to implement this feature? Or am I missing an easier way? I've attached the two snippets and language syntax for O'Caml if anybody would like to try ti. -- -Corey O'Connor

bundle command

by Oliver Taylor

I'm working on a bundle command (see below) that converts a plain- text document (screenplay) to a PHP file for conversion to PDF via FPDF (http://www.fpdf.org). Everything is working just fine except for two things I just can't figure out--for the record, this code was given to me by Allen for an HTML conversion and I've repurposed it for this. The first problem I'm having is with the very last line of code. The idea is to get safari to open the generated document in Safari and process it as a web-page. Because $DST seems to output the file-path I can't just have it open "http://localhost/example.php", which is what I want. How do I do that? Is it in the manual, 'cause I missed that part. The second question is regarding the 19th line of code: $this->Cell(5.5,.18," XXXX ",0,0,'L',0); I want to know if there is a way to define the "XXXX" bit in the document itself with something like: $header = example How would that be done? Thanks in advance, you guys are really helping make this bundle kick butt. ------------------------------- # first figure out a name for the result NAME="${TM_FILENAME:-untitled}" BASENAME="${NAME%.*}" DST="/Library/WebServer/Documents/$BASENAME" # everything we output within { … } is written to the PHP file via redirection (see line with the }) { # first output PHP header cat <<HEAD <?php require("fpdf/fpdf.php"); class PDF extends FPDF { //Page header function Header() { //Move to the right \$this->Cell(5.5,.18," XXXX ",0,0,'L',0); //Title \$this->Cell(.5,.18,\$this->PageNo(),0,2,'R',0); \$this->ln(.32); } } \$pdf=new PDF("P","in","Letter"); \$pdf->SetMargins(1.5,.5,1); \$pdf->AddPage(); \$pdf->SetFont("Courier","",12); HEAD # then PHP body (converted from document) perl -pe ' s/"/\\"/g; #escape quotes s/\/\/(.*)\/\/|^\/\/(.*)//g; # strip out non-printing comments s/^(\t{4})([^\t].*)$/\$pdf->Cell(2);\$pdf->MultiCell(0,.18,"$2",0,L, 0);/g; #characters s/^(\t{3})([^\t].*)$/\$pdf->Cell(1.5);\$pdf->MultiCell(1.5,.18,"$2", 0,L,0);/g; #parenthetical s/^(\t{2})([^\t].*)$/\$pdf->Cell(1);\$pdf->MultiCell(3.5,.18,"$2", 0,L,0);\$pdf->ln();/g; #dialogue s/(\t{10})([^\t].*:)/\$pdf->Cell(4);\$pdf->MultiCell(2,.18,"$2");\ $pdf->ln();/g; #right-transitions s/^\w+.{2,20}:\s*$/\$pdf->MultiCell(0,.18,"$&",0,L,0);\$pdf->ln();/ g; #left-transitions s/^(\w|\.|\[|\-).*$/\$pdf->MultiCell(0,.18,"$&",0,L,0);\$pdf->ln();/ g; #paragraph ' # and finally PHP footer cat <<'TAIL' $pdf->Output(); ?> TAIL } >"$DST.php" # open the generated PHP file in Safari open -a Safari "$DST.php"

UI

by Nicholas Cole

Dear List, One of the most striking things to a new user is that the most important part of the UI for textmate is a button a that is at the _base_ of the window (v. unexpected) and that is the smallest part of the UI. I'm quite sure I would not have realised its significance had I not seen the Screencasts, and I know that people I've recently introduced to Textmate have had the same problem. Is there any way it could be made more obvious? Best, N.

The "TextMate Must Have integrated ftp/sftp/ssh" discussion

by Eric O'Brien

[There is a question in here... scrub through to the end!] This is very interesting! Clearly, folks have a range of different tasks they need to accomplish and a range of different approaches for doing so. In my case, what I'm currently doing is ridiculously simple compared to what some on the list are doing: I'm just editing a small number of files that make up "a website." I'm editing the files locally... the files are on a hard drive in a box that's right under my desk. But to complicate things, I want to be able to see how these files appear when served from a REAL web server (not just opened from my disk). Plus, I also want to know how they look from a Windows machine. So... I've set up my next oldest computer (a G3) as a "server in my closet." This is my "test" deployment location. Of course, I also want to deploy the files on a (external) "staging" server where my client(s) can check things out. So, at minimum, I have stuff in three places that I (usually) want to be the same. When I started using TextMate, I was concerned about that lack of "ftp/sftp/ssh integration." After I discovered and researched rsync (yes, consider me a newbie as regards The Power of the Command Line) and TextMate bundles, I'm suddenly no longer concerned about whether I can open a file "via ftp" FROM WITHIN TextMate. Or save it back from TextMate "to" the Internet. On Feb 19, 2006, at 10:05 PM, Court K wrote, in part: > <snip> > I mean who actually is editing files that ARE NOT going to end up > on the internet? ... > <snip> As other's have mentioned, this is not *quite* the universal situation... for example, folks editing LaTeX are (I presume) mostly expecting to see the result in print; folks using TextMate to write screen plays are also (again, I presume) thinking in terms other than "web deployment." The files I am editing ARE intended to go directly for the Internet. But still I feel no need for "built-in" ftp/sftp/ssh support in TextMate. In part this is because I'm always working with the same set of files and their location on the net is always the same. And no one else is editing them other than me. So my Question: What are folks doing that makes them want to see built-in ftp/sftp/ ssh support in TextMate? One situation I can imagine is the desire/ need to open many arbitrary files that are located in many arbitrary locations on the Internet. I don't have a good picture of when anyone would be needing to do that though. Are people doing that? For me, the files I want to edit are on my computer. Periodically they need to be uploaded to the net, but my editing sessions don't begin from copies that were on the net. Just Curious! ;) eo

Apple Filing Protocol

by Trevor Harmon

As a follow-up to the discussions about remote file editing, I wanted to throw another idea out there. First of all, I think the ideal solution is to have Mac OS X mount a remote directory in the Finder, and then access that directory from TextMate as if it were on a local volume. (After all, providing file access is the operating system's job; TextMate shouldn't have to implement special support for it.) I mentioned WebDAV before, and for editing files on a web site, it's usually the best solution. Unfortunately, accessing remote files outside of the web server's control is very difficult, sometimes impossible, with WebDAV. For those cases, I've been resorting to NFS, which Mac OS X also supports natively. However, NFS has always been buggy in my experience, at least when accessing it across the Internet. Luckily, Mac users have a third option: the Apple Filing Protocol, or AFP. Although it's becoming obsolete in favor of less proprietary standards, it doesn't suffer from the weaknesses of WebDAV and NFS. Namely, it's not bound to a web server, and it has no trouble mounting remote directories over the Internet. I've been using it to edit remote shell scripts in TextMate with no problems. Setting up AFP is very easy if your host system is Linux and you have admin rights. You simply install the netatalk package [1] and start the AppleTalk daemon. For instance, if you're running Fedora Core: yum install netatalk service atalk start After that, you simply go the Finder, choose Connect To Server, and enter afp://myserver. You can then enter your user name and password to mount your home directory. More info about configuring share points and enabling secure authentication is in the netatalk documentation. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that option for those of you who want remote file access without having to rely on a third-party utility or wait for SFTP support to be built-in to TextMate.

sweet textMate FTP project window goodness!

by thomas Aylott

Howdy y'all. Wooo doggies! I know a lot of people have talked about this in the past, but... If you want to use TextMate through FTP, you can still use a project window with tabs. #1 Open up your FTP add (I've used Cyberduck and Transmit) #2 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck) #3 Find the temp folder that your FTP app uses to save the files you're editing (the duck uses /var/tmp/folders.503/TemporaryItems/ on my system) #4 Open that folder in TextMate #5 Close any FTPd files you're currently working on #6 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck) Your temp editing FTP files should now pop up as new tabs in textmate. For extra slickness, you can save this project, stick the .tmproj in your dock or something and be ready to go at a moments notice !!!! yee haw!!!! Enjoy ;) (this really shouldn't come as news to anyone, but it was fun to feel like a big know-it-all for a few precious moments) ((back to cruel intellectual mediocrity))

Snippets and Unix fun

by Benjamin Jackson

Hi all, Just put this together and thought I'd share: $TM_SELECTED_TEXT`echo "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT"|ruby -00 -pe "gsub(/([._]|\W)(?: (x)|(y)|(X)|(Y)|(width)|(height)|(w)|(h)|(Width)|(Height))/) { \$1 + (\$2 ? \"y\" : \$3 ? \"x\" : \$4 ? \"Y\" : \$5 ? \"X\" : \$6 ? \"height\" : \$7 ? \"width\" : \$8 ? \"h\" : \$9 ? \"w\" : \$10 ? \"Height\" : \$11 ? \"Width\" : \"\") }"` It will take, for example, something like this: var xMin = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._x - bounds.xMin : 0; var xMax = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._x + this.target_mc._width + (this.trap_mc._width - bounds.xMax); And append this afterwards: var yMin = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._y - bounds.yMin : 0; var yMax = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._y + this.target_mc._height + (this.trap_mc._height - bounds.yMax); This is something I do by hand like, maybe 10 or 20 times in a coding session.

LaTeX "" for German users

by Tukaram

Dear TextMate Users, I use TextMate to deal with LaTeX documents. To create the German format for quotations i have to write "`foo bar "' (you have to move your nose very close to the monitor to see the 2nd character after the " character). If I type the first " character a 2nd one appears. That's fine. Then I type the the ` character. It will be completed with an ' char. The results looks like "`'" . This is not what I want. I would like to type the first " and want to get an "`'". What can I do? Regards Tukaram

hi. is there any reason, why the enhanced TODO-command is in the rails- bundle and not, say, in the source- or text- or the todo-bundle? (other than syncPEOPLE using it for rails) niko. -- ____________________________ niko dittmann <ni-di(a)web.de> ____________________________

Uncommenting shell script lines

by Trevor Harmon

I often use Comment Line (Command-/) to add and remove comments. I noticed that if I have a shell script snippet like this: # Comment then Comment Line removes the comment. But if the snippet looks like this: #Comment then Comment Line adds yet another comment ("# #Comment"). Is this a bug? I checked the Ruby code for the command in the Bundle Editor but I didn't see anything wrong. Trevor

Intelligent Migration Snippets

by Sami Samhuri

Here are 3 macros, 3 commands, and a small Ruby program that take the DRY principle to another level while writing Rails migrations. These snippets for creating a table, adding a column, and renaming a column will add the opposite actions into self.down for you. I made a 30 second demo video so you can see them in action. You'll find all this on my blog. The address is in my signature. Hope some of you find this useful. -- Sami Samhuri http://sami.samhuri.net

Remembering drawer side

by Steven Wittens

I really like the project drawer and I always keep it on the left-hand side. This is not a problem as long as I use a single window: textmate opens it up in the same location as when I last closed it. But if I open up another window (with a drawer), it is always opened with the drawer on the right hand side. It's really annoying, because (as far as I can tell) the only way to switch drawer sides is to move the window to the right screen edge and then toggle it off and back on again. This wastes quite a lot of time. Is there a way to force left side drawers? Steven Wittens

Re: [TxMt] regex question

by Oliver Taylor

> #!/usr/bin/perl > local $/; # put Perl in "slurp" mode > $text = <>; # read in the whole file > $text =~ s/^([A-Z ]+)\n($.+$)\n(.+)$/\n\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t\t$2 > \n\n$3/mg; > print $text; Of all the solutions proposed here, this once seemed to work the best. Thanks for the tip about processing the entire document in one go. I ended up with the following: #!/usr/bin/perl local $/; # put Perl in "slurp" mode $text = <>; # read in the whole file $text =~ s/(\s+)$//mg; $text =~ s/((INT.|EXT.|I\/E.|int.|ext.|i\/e.)\s.*)$/\*\*\*$1/mg; $text =~ s/^([A-Z].*[A-Z \)])\n^($.*$)$\n(.+)$/\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t\t $2\n\t\t$3\n/mg; $text =~ s/^[A-Z]{2,}.*[A-Z\)\d]$\n^(.*)$/\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t$2\n/; $text =~ s/^\*\*\*//mg; $text =~ s/^(.*(IN:|UP:|TO:))$/\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$1\n/; $text =~ s/^(\w+.*(\.|\?|\!|\"|\-))$\n^\w+.*(\.|\?|\!|\"|\-)$/\n$1/mg; print $text; ...but it doesn't work at all. I'm guessing that it's something obvious that I can't see, but in case it's not an explanation of what I'm trying to do follows. 1. removes trailing whitespace at the end of a string (which is common in the format I'm importing from. 2. appends three *'s to the beginning of what I'll call well-formed sluglines so that step 4 doesn't apply to these are well. 3. finds a specific set of lines, a Character followed by Parenthetical, followed by Dialoge. And formats it. 4. finds Character followed by Dialogue when there is no Parenthetical, and formats it. 5. repairs the sluglines that were changed in step 2. 6. formats transitions. 7. formats regular paragraphs (this is a little funky, but it's my fault). I can do all these in the Find&Replace window, but I get nothing when running this bundle command. You can find a sample document to test the script on here: http:// ollieman.net/files/bundles/braveheart-sample-unformatted.txt And you can find what the result should look like here: http:// ollieman.net/files/bundles/braveheart-sample-formatted.txt Thanks again for all the help. This will allow we to switch full-time from Final Draft to TextMate. Something I'm really looking forward to.

Re: RFC: Command Output Options (was: Combining snippets and commands?)

by Benjamin Jackson

> this would not allow for commands that take the whole document as > input and the current selection as output, and autocompletion > thingies wouldn't work _that_ good, so considering this I'm on +1 for > allan's proposal. I think some minor changes to the wording of Allan's solution might make it more readable. What about: Output: [ Discard ] [ Text ] and [ pop-up ] [ Snippet ] and [ pop-up ] [ HTML ] [ Tool Tip ] [ New Document ] And then the pop-up showing for the Text and Snippet output options have the folowing options: and [ Replace Input ] [ Replace Selection ] [ Replace Document ] [ Insert After Caret ] This version uses more [action verbs][1], which makes it read more logically. > by the way, I'd like an option to show the output as a popup menu (or > something like that): this would perfectly suit autocompletion. think > about it, al. I'll second that. Nice ideas, Allan!

Pdfsync or tiger ability ?

by Alain Matthes

hello:) TeXShop can provide synchronization in two ways. "pdfsearch" : The default method uses a new ability in Mac OSX 10.4 to search for strings in pdf files. No special style files need be included to use this method. "pdfsync" is the original method but needs to add the following line to the preamble of your tex source code before the \begin{document} line: \usepackage{pdfsync}. Is it to possible to use in the future, the first method "pdfsearch" with Textmate Thanks Alain
