by Steve Weintraub

Congrats on 1.5...TextMate is 100% my editing environment (bb what?). I just wanted to ask what the status is of implementing chunk-undo. I was really hoping to see it sooner than later, it's still the one major issue that frustrates me about TextMate.

Save and Close

by Graeme Mathieson

Hi, I've been trying unsuccessfully this afternoon to create something that would perform 'save' and 'close' on a file with a single keyboard shortcut (which would be apple-shift-d, same and 'send ' in Mail) for the Subversion bundle. After all, that's what my fingers seem bound to pressing when I've finished writing a svn commit message (they must know better and feel it's like I've been writing an email)... :-) But recording a macros doesn't appear to work -- save doesn't appear to be recorded as a macro action, and close appears to cause the current macro recording to be cancelled. I also had a look at using a command, which would allow me to save the file first, but I can't figure out how to tell TextMate to close the current file from there. Can it be done? Cheers, Graeme -- Mail: mathie(a)woss.name | Web: http://woss.name/ AIM: Math1e | PGP: 1024D/D72F2737

bin or local, and Strict html 4 template only?

by Timothy Bates

hi, some comments on the new version Comment 1 the button in textmate's terminal usage dialog tries to make an alias to the mate command in usr/bin For me this operation failed (not permitted). Question: I have an existing copy of the link in "~/local" ... Didn't textmate used to expect ~/local rather than ~/bin ? What are we going to settle on? PS: could you make this command also add whatever folder it looks for to the .bash_profile and also create ~/bin if it doesn't exist? (is it xmas or what :-) ) Comment 2: "templates" offers only strict version 4 html as a template for html? Lots of us probably don't write code which is strict v4, so that might be asking for trouble? maybe transitional as an option? Comment 3 There is no comment 3 take care, t

Jumping to selected symbol

by Pedro Melo

Hi, Is there a shortcut to "Jump to the symbol under the cursor"? I tried to write a macro with ^W, Cmd-E, Cmd-G but it searches the string an not the symbol. Also ^W, Cmd-E, Cmd-Shift-T... I would suggest a Cmd-Shift-T + Alt to jump to the symbol selected and then people could write that macro... Thanks, -- Pedro Melo JID: melo(a)simplicidade.org

Folding in C

by Daniel Vollmer

Hi all! I've been using doxygen to write documentation for a wavelet image compression codec of mine, which is written in C. There I noticed two things on folding, which are the following: /** This is the basic "pixel" type. * \Warning This should not be less than 15 bits + sign! **/ typedef short int wv_pel; Here, the end-comment marker has to have two *s, it doesn't fold with one, but if I add a third * to the open comment bit, then it still works? Another thing which I couldn't figure out is the following: if (foo > (bar >> 3)) { /* this does something nice */ foo++; } else { /* not nice */ bar++; } Here, the folding does not activate with the comment on the same line, which I actually use quite often. I am really bad with regular expressions, so I couldn't figure out what they're trying to (referring to the folding patterns). I am aware though, that I can change them myself if I were so inclined, but I just wanted to ask whether TM expects me to do the above things in different way which may be equally nice. Oh, and Allan, nice website overhaul. :) Thanks, Daniel.

Protect custon icons from auto-update?

by Simon Dorfman

I like the TextMate auto-update feature except for one thing: After it updates, I have to re-install my custom icons [1]. Is there any way I could protect them from auto-update? Does it use rsync? If yes, maybe add an --exclude flag to it? [1] http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-November/001211.html

Am I imagining this?

by Matt Mower

For some time now i've noticed that, *occasionally*, when I do: expr.each doo|<TAB> I end up with expr.each doo | instead of expr.each do |_| | end as I would expect. I had assumed that I was somehow pressing <CR> instead of <TAB> but I just caught myself and I am 99% certain I pressed <TAB>. So it seems to me like, sometimes, the trigger doesn't fire to do the snippet. I think I've noticed it for the last few versions. Does anyone else see this?

screenwriters bundle

by Oliver Taylor

I've created the beginnings of a bundle for use in screenwriting and I'm looking for help to develop it further. As it stands now, TextMate is used solely for it's behavior (snippets, macros, etc.) but I hope that it's abilities can expand with your help. Specifically, I'm looking for: * Code clean-up. I've hacked together a working prototype, but I'm sure there is much redundancy and inefficiency in what I've done. * Exporting options. The ability to export to HTML and PDF (perhaps via LaTex?), so proper formatting can take place. If you are interested in helping, download the bundle at the url listed below and contact me. The objective here is to create an end- to-end solution for screenwriting that rivals FinalDraft and MMScreenwriter, and I believe we can do it. link: http://www.ollieman.net/files/bundles/screenplay.zip email: oliver at ollieman dot net There is no documentation, but to get started: "ext" and "int" are tab-triggers for slug-lines "option+tab" creates transitions "shift+tab" creates characters poke around the bundle for more behavioral abilities. P.S. Should I post this in the bundle dev list?

Move line up/down bug?

by Chris Jenkins

I may be mistaken, but is there a bug with the move line up/down feature? Whenever I do this the line that is selected after the move is not the line that I moved, in other words if I move a line down then the line that gets selected is the line after the one that moved, so if I want to move a line up 2 lines I have to move it then move the caret up a line then move it again, is this how it it supposed to work? Or am I missing the point somehow? Many Thanks Chris ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Interminable slowness with TextMate over SMB

by Andrew F

Hi, I'm new here. Just started using TextMate, and I have a problem where it is freezing for up to minutes at a time. I’ve been using it to work from home. Whereas in the office we use Microsoft Developer Studio (on Windows), that happens to be a bastard of a slug of a text editor over a Remote Desktop connection, so I have connected to my Windows file share over SMB over my VPN, and set up a TextMate ‘project’ with all my files. (I compile remotely, over the remote desktop connection, or via Ssh.) Now TextMate is a lovely editor, and it didn’t take much effort to have it syntax-highlighting C# code. Only one problem with the otherwise (almost) perfect setup: when I have the project loaded into TextMate (600-odd files), when I change focus to another application, then focus again on TextMate, TextMate hangs for at least 20 seconds. I presume that this is something to do with it checking the files, because a local project doesn't seem to have this problem. Potentially it’s some kind of network timeout (though I checked my various firewalls to see if some bits of the windows file sharing were being blocked, and that doesn’t seem to be the case). I know that SMB is a dog over a remote connection (I'm on 2Mbps ADSL, and my office is 512kbps, I think), but this is almost unworkable, especially when it decides to go slow and takes 90 seconds rather than 20 (it's somewhat unpredictable. I assume it’s dependant on network conditions). Does anybody have any ideas? Or should I report it as a bug? (Even if it is a network problem, TextMate could presumably check the files in the background, or at least provide progress feedback.) Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks, –Andrewf

TextMate Manual

by Allan Odgaard

Just posted the following to my blog (you can post feedback here or on the blog post, if you have any): I am planning to release 1.1 final next week. While I do get many repeated requests, one of the issues that has been hard to overlook lately is the lack of thorough coherent updated documentation.  This has now changed after spending a few weeks writing more or less full-time (so that's why there has been no nightly builds, although I will likely put out one later today with a dozen minor items in the change log). Here is the first public draft of the [TextMate manual](http:// macromates.com/textmate/manual/). Don't hesitate to post feedback as comments to this entry. Currently the documentation is low on use-cases. I hope to iteratively improve this over time, as I think that when people ask for documentation they are in fact much more interested in how to combine the features of TextMate to solve the task at hand, than the core facts about how to move the caret and such. This of course is quite a challenge, as the tasks and possibilities are infinite. I myself regularly find new ways to use TextMate to improve my workflow in ways I would not have thought of just a few weeks earlier. Writing the documentation was no exception. One of the cooler things I discovered was that I could add the command below as a preferences item to the `entity.name.reference.markdown` scope to have escape suggest completion candidates from my aggregated reference list, when inside a Markdown reference (given as `[link text][REFERENCE]`). { completionCommand = 'sed -n \ "s/^\[$$TM_CURRENT_WORD[^]]*$.*/\1/p" \ "$TM_DIRECTORY/markdown.references"'; disableDefaultCompletion = 1; } Should you somehow have missed my countless references to [Markdown] (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) then for the records let me just state that the documentation was written in Markdown and I absolutely love it!

autosorting of language

by Timothy Bates

hi, i made a fairly complex match in a language (mx - a structural equation modeling package) The language formatter mis-sorts the capture list (sorts on the basis of first digit, not on the numeric value of the match number). Doesn't affect function, but it is a bit messy to read. Here it is after autosorting: { name = 'meta.Start.values.matrices.mx'; match = '(?i)^\s*(Start|Value)\s+(\d*\.?\d*)\s+([A-Z])\s+(\d*)?\s* ((\d+)|([^, ]+))\s+((\d+)|([^, ]+))(\s(to|-)\s+([A-Z])\s+(\d*)?\s*((\d +)|([^, ]+))\s+((\d+)|([^, \n]+)))?'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.start.mx'; }; 10 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 12 = { name = 'keyword.control.to.mx'; }; 13 = { name = 'support.other.variable.matrix.mx'; }; 14 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 16 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 17 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 19 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 2 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 20 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 3 = { name = 'support.other.variable.matrix.mx'; }; 4 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 6 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 7 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 9 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; }; },

language pane not updates

hi, just made a new bundle and dragged an existing item into it. All went well (like how the item shows where it will go), but the UI did not update well: the list was displaced left during the drag, and then it didn't redraw (all the disclosure triangles hidden). Goes away after a forced redraw by altering the pane width.

Show Invisibles

Hi, just a little questions about the invisible helpers to see tabs and line endings. Why does TextMate uses other marks for line endings as for example SubEthaEdit, you get use to the marks of TextMate but would really like know why at all? Second more interesting for me, where are the signs for spaces? There are absolutely no signs for spaces. Which makes it quite annoying, you have to guess how many spaces or just to try with the cursor. I hope someone can help me. To find answers for my little questions. Thomas

Re: Replace document with snippet?

Like, for example, I want to pipe my current file through some command that would add some code at a specific point (say extract some lines to a new function), and outputs a snippet.

Editing Kid templates

by Graham Ashton

Hi. I've been trying to modify the HTML language so that it understands embedded Python code, as you find in a Kid template. For example: <?python def shoe(potato): pass ?> By default TextMate thinks it's PHP code (source.php.embedded.html). I thought it would be pretty straightforward, and copied the chunk of config that appears to setup embedded ruby. I ended up with this, defined just beneath php-source: python = { name = 'source.python.embedded.html'; begin = '(?:^\s*)<\?python(?!.*\?>)'; end = '\?>(?:\s*$\n)?'; patterns = ( { name = 'comment.line.number-sign.ruby'; match = '#.*?(?=-?%>)'; }, { include = 'source.python'; }, ); }; However, when I click "Format" and "Test" in the Bundle Editor the text in my editor is still marked up as PHP. I removed all the PHP stuff to see if it was overriding the Python settings, but it didn't help. What should I be doing for this? Cheers... -- Graham

Convert selection to entity

by Christian Alexander Mueller

On some occasions I use to code html pages with Romanian special characters. Unlike with the German special characters (ä etc.) I feel better to use the standardized entities for Romanian characters in the form ă etc. In TextMate I could not find out yet how to convert a text selection with Romanian special characters typed so that only the special characters are converted to entities. In my page *every* single character is replaced by its entity and makes the text illegible. Where is the solution I missed in the manual?

Move Selection up/down broken?

Variable Width Fonts (excuse me for inquiring:)

Greetings, I've been searching for the official line on variable width fonts in TextMate but cannot find it anywhere---though I seem to remember reading it before. Is it on the to-do list at all? I understand that for most(?) TM users it is a non-issue, being programmers, but as I use TM 95% for ConTeXt/TeX paper writing, it sure would be nice. Anyway, I bring it up again because it occasionally starts to bug me, and I can't leave the editing capabilities of TM behind ;). Kind regards, David

Projects pop-up, auto upload

by Nate Beaty

I searched through the archives to see if there was some sort of functionality that would list all your TM Projects in a concise list (in either a sticky or popup window) to ease switching to different projects.. Didn't find anything (did I miss something?) and ended up putting something together with Butler that is really slick and thought I'd share. * I moved all my .tmproj files to a single folder in my Websites directory * added a container in Butler with the folder containing all my .tmproj files inside it * assigned the container a hotkey ctrl-opt-w and set it to: "Opens a menu near the mouse" I previously had all the .tmproj files inside each site's homedir, and set Butler to only show files with a .tmproj extension with 2 levels of recursion, but it was too slow. Making a dedicated tmproj folder makes this an instantaneous popup with ctrl-opt-w that shows all my TM projects, which can be opened by keyboard or mouse. (I guess this could be done with within TM with shell commands, too, in a very similar manner, but using Butler allows you to open a project from anywhere.) Also, this is buried in the wiki, but what put me over the fence on agreeing S/FTP integration in TM was unnecessary, allowed me to drop Dreamweaver from my workflow completely, and caused me to buy Transmit & TM instantly was this simple command: osascript -e 'tell app "Transmit" to open POSIX file "'"$TM_FILEPATH"'"' Set this to a command triggered with cmd-shift-u, and TM first saves the local file, then sends the file to Transmit, which will then auto- upload to the appropriate server if the file belongs to a DockSend- enabled favorite in Transmit. (Allan has this listed for Interarchy in the wiki: I just changed "Interarchy" to "Transmit".) Nate. --------------------- CLIXEL Design & Coding http://clixel.com/

Nested Snippets

by Gabe da Silveira

So, I know that this is already on the todo list, but I'm curious what the status of nested snippets is. I'm talking about initiating another snippet while still in the placeholder of another snippet. Then when you tab out it would return to the previous snippet(s). I'm sure a few thorny issues might come up in implementation, but the general idea is just a stack of active snippets instead of a single one. The reason I ask is because often when I create snippets I am forced to choose between something like: <p>$0</p> and <p>$1</p>$0 The first one is sometimes preferable because I can then put another snippet right in. However in general I would prefer to use the second form. With nested snippets we get the best of both worlds. TextMate already had an easy time replacing BBEdit for me, but this feature alone would probably double my HTML creation speed.

How to actually do a diff in TextMate?

by Michael A. Alderete

(I read the manual, did a search of the archives for "diff FileMerge" and read all hits before writing this email, and I have also tried a couple of the Diff commands in the Subversion bundle.) I am wondering if, either as part of Allan's documentation effort, or as some bundle maintainer's efforts, a simple "How to Find Differences Using TextMate" document could be written. Because I confess, I am at sea as to how to get a useful, usable diff of two similar documents. My gold standard for usable differences is (as many of the list postings discussed) BBEdit. In particular, it has a menu command, "Compare Two Front Documents", which provides a highly usable interface to locate, review, and merge/modify the differences between two open documents. FileMerge, while flawed in some important ways, also provides a reasonably useful way of interacting with two files. (The diff output of the Subversion bundle is not suitable to my group's needs.) For me, it's *critical* that a usable diff command *not* require either document to be under revision control. I am the first person in my group to be using any form of revision control more sophisticated than DreamWeaver's simple file locking. Subversion is being used only on new projects which I am in charge of, which is a very small percentage of the stuff I'm working on, so it'll be a good while before I can count on having stuff in Subversion. Perhaps this suggestion will be taken as rude (and it won't be useful for non-BBEdit converts who don't have a BBEdit license), but it would be perfectly acceptable for a TextMate differences command to simply pass along the two file references to BBEdit's command line differences program, bbdiff, if the process would allow me to resolve my differences there and have the results saved back into my open documents in TextMate. A more universal version might use FileMerge instead of bbdiff. Last, an offer: If there is an acceptable differences command already, and someone will write up a quick list of the steps to use it ala the "Compare Two Front Documents" command, I will write up a complete tutorial, complete with screenshots, etc., suitable for the complete newbie (such as myself, and my co-workers). I'm a good technical writer, by way of credentials, here are some URLs to Mac OS X documentation I've written: * PGP Desktop Manual Proxy Settings: <http://aldoblog.com/blog/493> * Getting Started with m0n0wall: <http://www.aldosoft.com/docs/m0n0wall-getting-started.html> * A whole series of articles covering audiobooks on iTunes and the iPod: <http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/> So, I'll commit to writing some quality docs for the wiki covering a differences command, if someone will point me in the direction of a differences command that is useful for my (and my co-workers') needs. Thanks! -- _____________________________________________________________ Michael A. Alderete <mailto:lists-2003@alderete.com> <http://www.alderete.com>

Bolding and antialiasing (and possibly Markdown)

by Jeffrey E. Forcier

Hey all, Thanks to Allan & co (is there really an '& co'?) for all the hard work--been using TM for about a year and still loving it :) I'm having an odd issue which I fear is actually a feature and not a bug (and I'm not even positive it's TM's fault), so to speak, but am asking anyway. Most monospaced fonts such as Monaco, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, &c, show up as vaguely bold when antialiasing is turned on; however I only realized this recently when messing around with Markdown and its syntax highlighting. When surrounding text with double asterisks, which as I'm sure everyone knows is Markdown for bold, the text actually gets *less bold* compared to the rest of the text! With antialiasing off, the amount of bolding is normal, e.g. stuff in double-asterisks is noticeably stronger than everything else. When using Courier or Courier New, things also look more normal (with antialiasing on *or* off). However, I hate coding with serif fonts, so just switching to Courier isn't really an option. I've looked around a bit for other fonts but so far they all display the same behavior as the bunch mentioned earlier. So. Is this something TextMate is doing, or is it at the system level? In the various terminal apps I've never had issues like this. And regardless, does anyone have any suggestions? I realize that at the end of the day it's a silly thing to complain about, but I tend to be a stickler about stuff like this; if, when writing in Markdown, my italics are italic, I'd like my bolds to be bold too =) Thanks for your time, Jeff -- Jeffrey E.

Bug: All commands unavailable until window is open (even if they are commands to open a window :-) )

Hi, the Apache commands are fantastic! Using them highlighted a little bug for me: 1. close all documents 2. go to Automation:Run Command:Apache: expect: see "Open httpd.conf" usable obtained: All commands grayed out I think the best answer is to make them all available, even if this is inappropriate, and let the command have some error checking to feedback to the user that it needs a document, if necessary. tim 我爱言论自由人权和民主 “I love freedom of speech, human rights, and democracy" I also don't like the patriot act, or DCMA

scope-specific word completion collection

by Oliver Taylor

I'm creating a custom bundle for screenwriting and I've got most of it down, but I want to leverage textmate's completion abilities. For example, I've got this is the language: { name = 'splay.character'; match = '\t\t\t\t+(.*)'; }, ...to define anything that starts with 4 tabs as "splay.character" Now, I want to collect all the words in the current document (but only within the "splay.character" scope, and use them as a list for auto-completion. So that when I tab 4 times and type "Ki" then escape, "King John" will pop up. I know this is done with a shell command (right?) but I have no idea how to do this.

Block indent, bracket matching, bracket typing

by Steven Wittens

Arrr mateys! I'm a recent TextMate convert, and I absolutely love it ;). Still, I have a couple of requests... I searched the archives and couldn't find much about the first two: 1) On my (Belgian) keyboard, typing a [ or ] requires option+shift+( or ). This makes the block indent shortcuts very cumbersome to use because the command key is also required, meaning it's a 4-key chord each. One solution would be to add e.g. command+( and command+) as extra shortcuts for this (which are 2-key chords for anyone else on a Belgian and French keyboard). But in many other editors, there is a much easier and intuitive way to block-indent: just select multiple lines of text, and press Tab or Shift-Tab. In TextMate, the first just replaces the selection with a tab (not so useful IMO), and the second does nothing. So, please consider adding this feature. 2) The bracket matching seems clumsy. The highlighting is only a short flash, so you need to move the cursor back and forth to see it again. And because it only highlights the opening bracket, it is often hard to see which is the matching closing bracket. Especially when you are around multiple nested parentheses, and you are doing the 'back and forth' thing to see it flash again. Finally, it does not work in reverse (highlight the closing bracket when you are at the opening bracket). I think it would be a much more usable feature if it highlighted both brackets in a pair, when you are at either of them and did so permanently (i.e. based on cursor position) rather than just when moving over a bracket from left to right (i.e. based on cursor movement). It would also get rid of the artificial pause it has now. 3) I'd like to voice my support for smarter insertion of bracket pairs in the middle of text (as has been requested before). All too often, I get 'foo()bar(...)' when I want to wrap 'bar(...)'. Selecting the text to wrap first (what was suggested before on the list) just doesn't feel right to me. My instinct groups the bracket with the keyword in front of it, so doing keyword -> highlight -> bracket is icky. I'd much rather have no closing bracket inserted when the next character is not an operator/whitespace/end-of-line. I hope having a license gives me at least some nag credits ;). Steven Wittens

mate + output in html? run textmate command from command line?

by m-junk＠still-crazy.org

the "mate" command-line tool is great, but i find myself also wishing that i had some way to pipe input into a textmate html window, e.g. rather than long_running_command | mate which waits until the command is completed, and then throws the output in an editable text window, i'd like to be able to say long_running_command | pre | mate -html and get a continuously-updated, non-editable window (with the option of adding javascript and formatting). i could see how to hack this up myself if there were a way to initiate a textmate command from outside textmate (i.e. provide stdin, a command line, and one of the standard output choices (arguably only "show as html", "show as tool tip", and "create new document" would really make sense)) -- but i couldn't see how to do this (i'm no applescript wizard, but i poked through the scripting dictionary). is there some trick here i'm missing? if not, consider this a feature request...

fileTypes for dynamically named files

by Sean Wallace

I'm trying to update the svn-commit.tmp language definition to work with SVK, but am having some difficulty. In SVN, the temporary commit file is always named 'svn-commit.tmp' or 'svn-commit.2.tmp'. So the following works: fileTypes = ( 'svn-commit.tmp', 'svn-commit.2.tmp' ); In SVK, the temporary commit file is named 'svk-commitXXXXX.tmp' where XXXXX appear to be five random alpha-numerics. I haven't been able to figure out how to match this. Am I missing something? Thanks, Sean

A few suggestions: Open URL, diff and drags

by Freek Dijkstra

Hi, I got a couple of suggestions. First of all, open URL: I'm used to clicking on a URL in a text and go to that URL in a webbrowser. In Mac OS 9, there was an extension that allowed to do that by command-clicking on any URL. In Mac OS X virtually all text editors or text viewers, if you right-click on a URL, you get a menu which (among others) says "Open URL". Try BBEdit, SubEthaEdit, Stickies, or TextEdit. They all have this feature. Except for TextMate. Perhaps I can create it using "Filter Through Command...", but that's clumsy. I suggest to add this feature like in all other editors. Second, Diff's: Well, this has been discussed on the list before. The diff function in TextMate is not really useful. Actually, Compare Texts is still the only thing I use BBEdit for. Even though Apple's FileMerge does a better job of showing the diff's (much better then either BBEdit or TextMate), BBEdit most definately has the best integration of viewing AND editing diffs, as well as ignoring line endings and white space (TextMate diff can't handle anything but unix line endings). This is very high on my wish-list for TextMate. Last, draffing URL's: Dragging. I struggled long to understand "DragCommands" (there is not useful mention of them in the help or on the wiki). I would love to be able to make a DragCommand that allows me to drag a URL to a HTML text file, and that the drag then automatically inserted a <a href="$URL">$name</a>, preferable with the previous selection as the $name. However, it seems that now, DragCommands only work on files, not on other drags like URL's and images. Oh, sorry if I sound critical. I love TextMate. I really adore the UTF-8 support (actually that was the single most important reason for me to make the switch to TextMate as my default editor). Keep up the good work! Regards, Freek Dijkstra

Re: Project Drawer: File won't show in tabs/edit pane

by Owen Densmore

Thank you for the quick responses. I fixed the problem in the following way: opened "misc" in textmate via "mate misc", saved it as UTF-8. Apparently the odd character mentioned by Allan was fixed by this operation. I had earlier tried a conversion via "reopen with encoding" UTF8 but that did not make a difference. However, using "save as" w/ UTF8 on top of the older version did fix the problem. In terms of why not use a .sh extension, I have to confess to being an old unix guy and never got in the habit of typing foo.sh when I can type foo instead! Anyway, we're go, thanks for the help. -- Owen Owen Densmore http://backspaces.net - http://redfish.com - http://friam.org

The shelf.

by Hans Petter Eikemo

Hey! I just watched the 10 minute Ruby on Rails intro video (http://rubyonrails.ams.cachefly.net/rails_setup.mov) where TextMate used a pane for project files instead of the shelf. The pane looks good, any chance it will return? I realize this will make TextMate look a lot more like Xcode, but that wouldn't bother me.. Perhaps something similar to the one in Mail2 (Tiger) . hans petter.

Project Drawer: File won't show in tabs/edit pane

by Owen Densmore

Hi folks. I've tried TextMate a while back and in *instantly* replaced my use of jEdit. Wow, hard to believe you can get a unix class text editor with Mac grace all in one package. Congrats! I've the following problem: - I've created a project called Daily that I have the files I edit often: Notes, Log, Bashrc, ToDo, etc. I add files to the project by simply using Add Exiting Files ... - This generally works but I've got one shell script file "misc" that is used for quick shell hacks. When I include this in my project, it does not show in the tabs or in the edit pane. - The file is a bit odd: it looks like this: #!/bin/sh <current hack> # ---------------------------------------------------------- exit # ---------------------------------------------------------- <past hacks> # ---------------------------------------------------------- ...etc to EOF. Note the "exit" used to let prior hacks be available for reference, yet not be executed when misc is called. The file is here if that would help: http://backspaces.net/files/misc So basically I'm trying to add an existing file to the project and although the name shows in the drawer just fine, double clicking on it does not put it in the tabs or edit pane. Note that the file works fine outside of the project .. i.e. if I execute "mate misc" from the terminal, I get a new window with the file showing correctly. I suspect I'm doing something dumb but..any help appreciated! -- Owen Owen Densmore http://backspaces.net - http://redfish.com - http://friam.org

Documentation: tell the world!

by Freek Dijkstra

Hi, I'm new on the list, so sorry for stating the obvious. The documentation of TextMate is terrible. <rant> After using TextMate for some time, and struggling with many features, a collegue pointed that there is some documentation at http://macromates.com/doc/ However, there is no link to this URL. Please make a link to this page from the home page. Now, please. Thanks. What? You haven't done so? Stop reading then! Please do it *NOW*, before other people waste their precious time. I had to find the function of multiple functions (e.g. how DragCommands work, that they only work with file, not URL's, how tab triggers work, etc. etc.) by Googling and reading earlier posts on the mailing list. I really could have saved a lot of time if I knew earlier that there was some documentation out there. In fact I strongly recommend to add a menu item in the Help menu which directly links to this documentation, and release a minor update :-) </rant> I just started reading the docs, and here is some first comments: Please change the order of the paragraphs "Selecting Text" and "Editing modes" on the "Working with Text" page. "Editing Modes" discusses the column mode, which was introduced in "selecting text", so the later paragraph must come first. In the current order, the "Editing Modes" was hard to comprehend. Regards, Freek Dijkstra PS: This is a re-sent; my original posting seems to be rejected because the list software was a bit slow, and thought I wasn't on the list yet. Sorry if you get this twice.

Request: newline differentiation

by Paul Bissex

Are there any plans for, or any interest in, making it easier to see and set the newline style of open files? Right now it seems you can control this only through the Preferences dialog, and there's no at-a-glance way to tell (or change) what newline style an open file is actually using. The absence of this bit me last night, when I made changes to someone's PHP file that had been saved with Mac newlines. I had added some HEREDOC-quoted text, and the script started throwing parsing errors which completely stumped me until I opened the file in Some Other Text Editor and saw that it was using Mac newlines. A newline type selector/indicator in the bottom bar is the most obvious thing to do (it might even be combined with the spaces/tabs popup), but I'm sure there are other ways to do it as well. Possible? thanks pb -- Paul Bissex http://e-scribe.com/news/ Northampton MA USA 01061-0847

Suggestion for files panel..

by Eric Coleman

First wanted to say I love textmate. It and amazing piece of work and I just recently discovered it. (I just switched to a mac a few months ago). i'd like to see an option to sort folders first in the files panel. I am not sure how possible this is with the cocoa controls Another suggestion (and I think it was already purposed) is to be able to double click on folder names. I just wanted to see if this was a possibility before I purchased :) -- Eric -- Eric Coleman http://aplosmedia.com home: 412 399 1024 cell: 412 779 5176

multi-row tabs

by Jamal Johnson

i'm sure there's been discussion of this before, but was wondering if there was anyway to add a preference to have the tabs for the open files of a project wrap to multiple lines instead of limiting them to one line and having that dropdown menu on the right show up. i like to see ALL the files i have open at once and can't stand that dropdown. is this possible? it seems the 'tab component' should be able to handle this. i can look into it if you'd like... thanx! - jamal

Macro Recording Bug / Inconsistency

by Kevin Cox

I've been using the macro below on my laptop with TextMate for quite a while, and just realized I didn't have it on my G5. I went to record it and ended up having a terrible time. It seems that with newer versions of textmate (I couldn't tell you which version I was on when I recorded it on my laptop) when you record the macro below, it adds an "insert text" command with whatever tag has been inserted. The macro: In an HTML document, type < (it inserts <>, but ignore that), now do: 1) Automation / Start Macro Recording 2) Backwards delete (to delete <, which also removes >) 3) Automation / Insert Closing Tag 4) Automation / Stop Macro Recording Now save this macro, give it key equivalent /, and here's the sneaky part: set the scope to: text.html invalid.illegal.incomplete The scope controls when the macro should "fire", and if you press ctrl-shift P inside <>, you'll see the scope of that position, which is what's quoted above. So only inside <> will / fire this macro, which first removes the <> and then inserts the closing tag. In newer versions, instead of just coming out with deleteBackward: insertClosingTag: it also adds insertText: </html> (or whichever tag you happened to be closing) I was able to open up the recorded macro in the Property List Editor and remove the third command, but that is not a very elegant solution. This was working properly in the past! -Kevin

Symbol popup

by Graeme Mathieson

Hi, I suspect you're going to say 'no, it's a limitation of the way the parsing is done', but would it be possible to collapse white space in the display of symbols? See the attached example. The file itself has these items being split by a newline and indentation... Actually, on a related note, it would be really nice if the auto- indentation would behave in the way I want it to for indented function arguments. That is, if I hit enter inside an open bracket, the next line should be indented to one beyond the open bracket on the previous line. And when the corresponding closed bracket happens, the indentation should revert to what it was before. As an example: tickets = self.sql.listTickets(ticket_id = id, /* Caret should be placed at the '/' of this comment. */ support_of = 123, account = 'foo(a)acmewidgets.example') /* Caret should be placed at the '/' of this comment. */ Is it possible to do this? -- Mail: mathie(a)woss.name | Web: http://woss.name/ AIM: Math1e | PGP: 1024D/D72F2737

Colour Printing

by Dave Winter

I do a lot of coursework for University in Textmate - which means I'm always printing out my code for marking. Thing is, currently, I'm having to switch over to Xcode to print each time so I can do so in Colour. It makes it a ton easier for the marker. Is there any chance Textmate could support colour printing and also being able to set the text size and font? Dave Winter http://commanderbond.net

Re: [TxMt] multi-row tabs

by Jamal Johnson

yeah, from the quick research i did that's what most people were saying. however, having it as a 'checkbox option' in the prefs would give those who believe it's bad design the ability not to use it, and those who like it that way the ability TO use it. but from what i also read, it might be a little hairy to implement...

TM as outliner?

by David Lee

Hi, Outliners are a good tool for organising many things. I strive to keep everything in plain text. The best outliner to my tastes that I've found so far is Vim's excellent outliner mode. http://vimoutliner.org/ It does that vim 2-keystrokes-and-you've-rearranged-the-furniture thing to a tee (tea? T?). There's also a unix tool called hnb (not sure if it's on OS X): http://hnb.sourceforge.net/Links/ My question is, does anyone here on this list use, or hope / intend to use, TextMate as an outliner? I mean, you could almost use the drawer alone, but that kind of inverts the plain text thing (plain file nodes, anyone?) has anyone got any ideas on how TM could be scripted / used as-is / etc to facilitate use as an outliner? I only get to use TM / OS X at home (working on it though ..), so any advice from more practiced TM users appreciated. cheers, David

TextMate opening Spotlight results

by Daniel Vollmer

Hi all! Is it possible that whenever TM is invoked from a Spotlight query, it automatically jumps (when present) to the first occurrence of the search term(s)? I've had a look at Apple's documentation on the developer site, but not found any information on whether it's possible, although Preview.app certainly does it for PDF documents. Thanks, Daniel.

Automagically figuring out tab size?

by Graeme Mathieson

Hi, I don't suppose it would be possible for Textmate to make an attempt to 'guess' the tab size (and whether the file is using hard/soft tabs) when a file is opened? I often wind up editing other people's code and, usually, they wind up using something other than 'soft tabs: 2'. So I regularly have to fiddle with the tab size to make things match up nicely. ISTR a previous editor I've used, WingIDE[1], having this feature, and it was really handy... And no, that's not an 'every other editor does it' -- it's the only time I've seen that feature, but it was really useful! Oh, even better! I'm looking at the code for Typo just now, and it's not even consistent throughout the code! In fact most of it is 'soft tabs: 2', just views/articles/taglist.rhtml (the first one I happened to want to edit) that's using hard tabs...

Verilog language bundle

by Jeff DuMonthier

There is no bundle for Verilog HDL, but it has a lot in common with C and Pascal, so I duplicated the C language and have been hacking on that to get the syntax coloration mostly working. I've run into a bit of trouble with the constant expression syntax though. In Verilog constants have this form: 8'b00100011 (8 bit binary) 6'o35 (6 bit octal) 12'h3A2 (12 bit hex) The initial number is optional, so 'b10110 would be a 5 bit binary constant. In addition to numbers, z and ? can also appear sometimes to indicate high impedance or indeterminate values. I've tried the following syntax for the binary constants: ...|([0-9]*)\'b[0-1zZ\?]*)|... When I hit the test button it highlights everything from the b on. I'm guessing it is not able to escape the single quote. I've also tried escaping the b as well and it didn't make any difference. Is there a way around this? Is there somewhere I can find the detailed syntax rules for the matching expressions and bundles in general? I did a quick look through the WIKI and didn't see anything obvious.

Styling the drawer in line with the theme

by Matt Mower

Hi, I am a big fan of the Sunburst theme (thanks Soryu). I like it because it has a black background with lots of contrast and a crisp feel to it. I really hate white backgrounds for editing. So it spoils the editing experience a little then the way the drawer stands so starkly "black on white" right next to my editing surface. Would it be possible to include styling of the drawer (and maybe other TxMt elements such as the tab bar) in a Theme? Regards, Matt -- Matt Mower :: http://matt.blogs.it/

Markdown symbol list idea

by Charilaos Skiadas

I just had a little idea for a symbol list in markdown, and thought other people might be interested in it. I wanted to get the symbol list to show the first 8 or so words of each paragraph, kind of like a mini summary. You can accomplish this by creating a new preferences file, pasting the following code in it and setting its scope to: "text.html.markdown markup.paragraph" /* preferences */ { showInSymbolList = '1'; symbolTransformation = 's/^([A-Z](([^ \t]*[ \t]*){1,8})).*$/$1/g;'; } This is supposed to only pick lines that start with a capital letter. For some reason though, it doesn't. Any ideas? Haris

smart typing - can it be smarter or type less? :)

by porneL

I generally like smart typing feature, but it gets in the way sometimes. For example if I want to add parens around expression, I often just get () before it (if expression starts with ! or $). It's horror when I need to change double quotes to single quotes. I end up having something like: "'""'" Is it possible to configure it to work only when there is whitespace/EOL ahead of cursor? Or to disable it for cases I mentioned above? I don't want to disable it completly and I don't want to add symbols to word characters list. -- regards, porneL

Text Encoding Support

by Kelvin Tse

Hi, Will there be more text encoding support? Like for Japanese(Shift- JIS), Chinese(GB-2312) or Korean? I think this issue has been bought up before, but it didn't get my attention until lately. I have been working on websites in different language: Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and it was a horrible experience. I had to add some pages to the existing websites, so i can't really changed all the text encoding to unicode. Also, I have been told that there are some missing characters in unicode for Japanese, so even the government won't use that. My nightmare stopped when bbedit came to rescue, it supposed all of the text encoding I need. But then I want to stick to Textmate, and, well, bbedit is simply far too expensive! My guess is that I will need to maintain those websites in the future, so it will be great to see textmate supporting more text encoding! Thanks Kelvin

Stray whitespace

by Matt Mower

Hi folks, I quite often seem to find stray whitepsace at the end of my lines when I'm editing Ruby code. I'm reasonably certain that I'm not going around adding a tab here or there to the end of lines (it's not every line). It doesn't seem to be harmful but, as a neat freak, I find it distressing. I assume that it's TxMt that's adding it because I can't think where else it can be coming from. Does anyone else see this? Does anyone know how to stop it?

Switch font with hotkey

by Andreas Wahlin

I work in either 9 points monaco or 12 points anti-aliased monaco, is it possible to switch between these two with a simple hotkey? (also, to be really perfect, I'd like it to switch themes because I disable all bold and italics in my favourite themes because of 9 points monaco, but they look good with 12 points and so ideally I should switch between two themes as well, I think this can be done but I'm not entirely sure how) Andreas

Improving SymbolPopup for LaTeX?

Hi :) Sorry, if this has already been this discussed, but I couldn't find anything related. I'm looking for a way to alter the appearance of let's say subsection headers in the Symbol Popup. Normally these would appear the same way as would sections. So I want to have subsections be slightly intended as for example class methods are in Python language bundle. My problem now is, I couldn't yet find out how this is achieved there :) I'd really appreciate any help on this matter :) Best wishes, Horst "zeroK" Gutmann http://weblog.zerokspot.com

Bundle for Movable Type templates

by Brad Choate

http://bradchoate.com/downloads/Movable%20Type.tmbundle.zip Features: * Syntax highlighting for MT templates * Scope of MT container tags: entity.name.tag.mt, scope of MT variable tags: variable.other.mt * Common MT 3.2 default templates provided as new file templates * A couple of snippets * A context-sensitive help command for MT tags This is my first bundle, so I'm still learning, but I'm very impressed with what you can do with TextMate bundles. This is the kind of power I've been looking for in an editor. Feedback is most welcome. A few questions: - MT templates are usually HTML based templates, so I invoke the HTML bundle rules too-- however, some MT tags aren't syntax highlighted properly since they're really "embedded" in the HTML syntax. For example: <tag><$MTTag$></tag> That's no problem. But this isn't processed right: <tag attribute="<$MTTag$>"> The embedded mt tag is never seen. Is there a way to handle this without modifying the HTML bundle itself? - When you create a new file using one of the supplied MT file templates, the syntax mode is left as HTML, not Movable Type. Is there a way to force the Movable Type syntax? - I wish it were more obvious how to customize the colors for the MT tags. The user has to set these up manually. If TextMate were to scan for available scopes and at least list them as inactive in the color preferences tab, that would be phenomenal. - What on earth is the key to use for the TextMate "Edit in TextMate" service? It looks like Command + A caret with a bar on top of it. What is that key? I also can't make out the key shown for Ruby's "embed string variable" snippet. Or the key to use for the "Web Searches" bundle. Thanks! -Brad

Drawer functionallity

by Matthew Erker

Good day all, First, I really like the drawer; please Allan don't do anything bad to it. I would like it even more if there were a way to filter the drawer listing. Most practical and useful to me would be an ability to create a list of file types and folder names to either include or exclude from view in the drawer. Beyond Compare (a regrettably windows only directory & file compare app) does this by means of a list as mentioned above. You are also offered the possibility of filtering by various dates as well as file attributes. Please see attached screen shot. Does anyone know of a way to do something like this with TextMate's current state? Thanks, Matt Erker Web Developer TOKY Branding + Design 3139 Olive Street Saint Louis, Missouri 63103 314.534.2000

Re: [TxMt] Tidy and XML

by Allan Odgaard

On 29/11/2005, at 21:45, Nicholas Orr wrote: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> That's the problem. This will make xmllint (used by the Tidy command) return the result as utf-16, but TextMate expects it to be utf-8, and so it'll show up wrong. There's a few options: 1) convert the files from a script instead 2) change to "UTF-8" (remember to convert the files to utf-8 as well, if they're currently in utf-16 format) 3) change the “xmllint --format -” line to “xmllint --format -| iconv -f ucs-2 -t utf-8” in the Tidy command (Bundle Editor -> Show Bundle Editor -> XML -> Tidy). Since it sounds like you have a lot of files to convert, option 1 has advantages in itself over manually selecting Tidy from TM. Personally I'd use a script, but also let the script convert the files to utf-8 (utf-8 is generally a better encoding than utf-16, and while my reference to this is vague, I think part of the Unicode consortium do see utf-16 as legacy, especially now that it no longer has a 1:1 mapping to unicode code points (because of ucs-4)).

Just make sure to not ask TmCodeBrowser to sort things. With the simple regexp additions, you cannot recognize things in multiple lines, so there is no way of grouping the variable and function definitions with a particular object, this way at least visually they will be close to what you want. I believe that if one really wants to, one can write a parser and add it to the ctags source code and recompile, that is provided that Gerd Knops provides you the source code, or is willing to add the parser ofr you. I am guessing someone out there has already written a parser for javascript that maybe does what you want it to better, but I wouldn't know anything about it. I was under the impression that tmcodebrowser supported actionscript, which might be close to what you want, but I couldn't find it in the .ctags.tmcodebrowser format. Haris

symbol selector definition

by Jamal Johnson

is there some sort of control over the symbol selector (dropdown on the lower right in files such as javascript that allow you to 'jump' to functions)?

Python mode: offering some code and some suggestions

by Gary Poster

Hi. I liked TextMate but it wasn't quite ready for me. I'll check back in on it in 2006 sometime and see how it's doing then. In the course of my evaluation, I changed some settings to try and get closer to what I expected. I gave up when I discovered that the current approach to code folding (finding code block ends, specifically) was apparently fundamentally incompatible with Python. However, I thought some of my changes might be worth reincorporating in your product. Some of them are arguably preferences, and others have odd dependencies, but they are at least worth a look. First, I added an increaseIndent that increases indent on an open parenthesis: /* preferences */ { increaseIndentPattern = '^\s*(class|def|elif|else|except|finally| for|if|try|while)\b.*:|^.*$\s*$'; shellVariables = ( { name = 'TM_COMMENT_START'; value = '# '; }, { name = 'TM_COMMENT_END'; value = ''; }, { name = 'TM_COMMENT_MODE'; value = 'line'; }, ); } That's pretty standard Python style. I was also curious to see if I could make a line break inside a parenthesis autoindent to the open parenthesis, but didn't see a way to do that. Second, the foldingStartMarker probably should include `if` and `for`, and maybe even some others...I didn't bother thinking about it once I got into a seeming dead end with the foldingStopMarker. That said, here's a little improvement in this part of the parsing. foldingStartMarker = '^\s*(if|for|def|class)\s+([.a-zA-Z0-9_ b]+)\s* (\((.*)$)?\s*:|\{\s*$|\(\s*$|\[\s*$'; Finally, pycheckmate didn't work for me. The first reason had something to do with using a specific Python installation, rather than the environment Python. I fixed that, and then the second problem was that the custom popen relied on poll, which wasn't included in the framework Python build. I am using ActiveState's Python2.4, so I got rid of the customization of the standard library class. The general approach I took probably would let you use some of the 2.3 popens too, and get rid of maintaining that extra bit of code. Pycheckmate also wasn't guessing where to find an installed pychecker very well--I guess the intent was that you were supposed to configure the environment variable in TextMate. That seemed unnecessary for the common case of installing via distutils. I fixed that at the start of the attached file--a bit of a hack, maybe, but nicer first- use experience. Hope some of that is helpful. Gary

ASP VB.NET? Anyone?

by thomas Aylott

Hello. I know the mac isn't really the most popular platform to develop for windows. But... Does anyone here use textMate to develop ASP VB.NET code? Is there a VisualBasic language module other than the ASP bundle? Is anyone working on an ASP.NET bundle? If I made an ASP.NET bundle, would anyone use it? What are the requirements for submitting a new bundle to the official deal? I don't have a lot of time to work on this stuff, but over the past year i've cobbled together a usable asp.net bundle from the asp language (as it existed at the time) I had to modify the HTML language module to get it to work properly. Recently I just made a copy of my custom HTML for asp.net language and updated my html bundle to the latest svn checkout so that I could use it with ruby. (they both use the <% %> syntax for code in html) I havn't been able to figure out how to overwrite rules properly. I want to update my asp.net language to use the latest HTML bundle, but I need to force it to understand my ASP instead of ruby or the normal asp, without modifying the HTML bundle. In CSS, you can force importance by using the !important keyword. I'd like to be able to do something similar with scope definition. I want to select the ASP VB.net (HTML) language, and it import the entire HTML bundle & say, import everything in the HTML language, except, everything within <%%> & <tag runat="server">...</tag> , don't let the HTML language mess with that stuff, no matter where it is in the code. I havn't gotten any sleep lately, i'm probably blithering

Symbol list always empty

by Paul Bissex

The symbol list has never worked for me -- nothing ever shows up in it, whether I'm working in Python, PHP, HTML, Markdown, etc. Same for the "Go To Symbol" popup. Always empty. I've tried deleting my preferences file. No change. I'm running build 790 with a current repository checkout of bundles. OS X 10.4.3. Am I missing something obvious? thanks pb -- Paul Bissex http://e-scribe.com/news/ Northampton MA USA 01061-0847

Tidy and XML

by Nicholas Orr

I'm trying to find a good text editor for editing very large XML files (40,000 plus lines). I've got BBEdit, but when I saw the code folding thing that TextMate does I almost bought a copy on the spot. But I've had trouble getting the tidy to work in TextMate. The default XML - Tidy command just adds spaces between every single character in the file. Does anyone know enough about Tidy to give me some advice about this? From my reading on the web, I'd need to have a separate command to do output reflowed xml. Thanks, Nick

Converting a single-line block into a multi-line block

by Matt Mower

Hi, I was looking earlier on at a video some guy did of a VIM macro he'd written that could turn: object.method { |x| op( x ) } into object.method do |x| op( x ) end and back again. At the time I didn't think much of it and now of course I find myself wanting to do it. I thought for a few minutes about how you might achieve this in TxMt and then realised I didn't have the first clue. I tried recording a macro but of course it would only work for the simple case, as soon as I did: object.meth2 { |x,y| op(x,y) } it broke. Can this (and/or the inverse) be done with a simple recordable macro? Regards, Matt -- Matt Mower :: http://matt.blogs.it/

Tek theme

@tek theme author: Why no announcment on the mailing list, and why no credits to yourself? I also really like the colours, but they're a bit to "bland" to be of use as a general theme, it'd be cool to see them shifted around a bit and create a useful theme ... :) Andreas

edit in textmate - finder right-click menu

by David Lee

hi. question to Allan - how hard would it be to provide an applet / hook that gives an option to Edit File In Textmate in the context menu? sure, there's Open With, but it's suboptimal most of the time and you're a smart guy so i thought I'd ask. cheers, David

Autoabbreviation?

by Ben Jackson

Anyone here use or has used TypeIt4Me? I loved the idea while it worked on my machine, but after 5 minutes it disappeared from my menu bar and the developer is not responsive. Basically every time you press a space it scans a list of abbreviations and expands the text if it finds a match. Is this something I could do in tm with a command? - Ben

Storefront - how and what?

by Tom Lazar

intrigued by its accompanying commit-messages I was curious to try out the newly surfaced Storehouse plugin from the Themes repository - however, I must admit, that I can't figure out, how to use and/or install it. since it's just displayed as a folder in the finder double clicking doesn't help and dragging it onto TM just opens it as a project (but without a README etc.) anybody care to enlighten me/the list on this matter? thanks! curious in Berlin, tom

Auto indent?

by Sean Schertell

Easy one... When I copy and paste code from my Agile Rails PDF file, the indentation gets totally lost and looks like this: =========================== <h1>Display Cart</h1> <table> <% for item in @items product = item.product -%> <tr> <td><%= item.quantity %></td> <td><%= h(product.title) %></td> <td align="right"><%= item.unit_price %></td> <td align="right"><%= item.unit_price * item.quantity %></td> </tr> <% end -%> </table> =========================== Is there an easy way to indent my code? I tried using tidy but it likes to convert my special chars into HTML entities which ruins my Ruby code. Any solution? Sean :::: DataFly.Net :::: Complete Web Services http://www.datafly.net
