Create project from terminal ?

by Paul Burgess

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

Italic in syntax definitions

by Chris Jenkins

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

anyone written a code beautifier script for ruby?

by Lang Riley

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

unable to add dot-files to project

by Brian Lalor

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

Web preview is a cool idea but useless?

by Bruno Bronosky

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

Req: Compare docs-Diff

by Fred B.

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

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

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 5, Issue 56

by max＠machinate.org

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

Re: req: command output to contextual menu

by max＠machinate.org

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

Re: [TxMt] Req: Compare docs-Diff

by max＠machinate.org

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

Text zooming key combos

by Rich Barton

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

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

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

Command Help for templates

by Ketan Anjaria

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

Exploring Snippets

HumaneText.service

by Jonathon Delacour

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

HTML output ideas

by Eric Hsu

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

Newbie folding property list q's

by Experiments

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

Latex in Beta 5

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

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

by Mats Persson

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

Option to disable automatic tab creation

by Edmundo Ortega

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

Getting Into Templates

by James Edward Gray II

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

subversion bundle

by Eric Hsu

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

Brainstorming Icons

by James Edward Gray II

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

TM Icon Poll [Bartelme vs Ethan v3]

by Mats Persson

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

Inserting a File Path

by Paul McCann

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

Bundle Documentation

by Jeroen van der Ham

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

Atomic save and Fugu

by Fred B.

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

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

by Bryce Thornton

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

Re: [TxMt] TextMate friendly FTP clients

by Developer Relations

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

"Smart" Typing

by James Edward Gray II

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

Command Chooser?

by Brad Miller

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

Re: [TxMt] Inline PDF

by Rob Walton

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

Feature Request: Open Folder via Command-O

by Torsten Becker

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

Feature Request: Open Recent Files/Projects implementation idea

by Mats Persson

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

Export selected text to HTML?

by Chris Ruzin

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

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

folding behaves very irregularly

by Bruno Bronosky

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

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

by Bruno Bronosky

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

Help and Suggestion for Renaming

by Eric Curtis

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

IRC channel: #textmate on freenode.net

by Sune Foldager

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

Newbie question about this mailing list

by Bruno Bronosky

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

please add the ability to fold a selection

by Bruno Bronosky

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

svnX 0.7 : fileMerge between Subversion revisions from TextMate

by Dominique PERETTI

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

Markdown->Markup->PDF

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

1.1b4 File Chooser & HTML Output options

by Mats Persson

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

web preview and PHP include_paths

by max＠machinate.org

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

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 5, Issue 10

> Oh, I just realized that Ulysses has a fullscreen mode...you can tell > how much I've used it. :-) TB: Ulysses does. However, Ulysses requires me to hop through some really weird activation loops to potentially buy it, and just to test it. It also just looks awful in interface, and the method of opening documents and project management is awkward. I think Textmate is a better handler of all the various things I do, html, php/mysql/movabletype, articles, novels, todo lists, etc. Textmate is also *snappy* when I use it, the documents load up *like that* when I double click them.

rave

by Tobias Buckell

I'm truly and deeply impressed with this program. I'm working on my second novel, due to be turned in this September and am about 15,000 words into it. Previously I used TextEdit to create each chapter, used omnioutliner to manage the chapter structure and create the outline and do rearranging, and then merged all the files into Word to finish it up, and then had to edit it. I started the current novel using that system, then switched to a program called 'copywrite' which is cool, gave me some of the organization features combined with a basic text editor, but it's a bit slow when I click around quickly, and I hate having the program get in the way of my creative process/writing, which is why I started testing programs tonight to see if I could find something better. That and now that I've seen this program's project handling I'm deeply in love. But there is just one thing I was hoping I could include on a feature request to spur me on. Full screen editing! The reason I purchased a copy of copywrite is that they said full screen editing would be coming, which is where I press a button and the program takes over the screen and I have nothing but text and a screen. This is the greatest procrastination breaker, and the only program besides copywrite that looks to have this feature is MacJournal. Right now I'm seriously considering drafting in MacJournal, then copy and pasting into Textmate, but man, I'd pay extra for the full screen feature, it's worth it. Secondly, I've only played with this program for a few minutes, but I may be converting my Getting Things Done 'Next Actions' list to it and using documents to go to sync the plain folder text files for project management. Best, Tobias Buckell +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ By day I'm a mild-mannered tech worker, by night, a Science Fiction and Fantasy writer.

TextMate's Missing Snippets Palette

by Chris Messina

I realized after seeing a HyperEdit screenshot that having a floating snippets palette would be immensely useful in TextMate. I've mocked up how I might think you could implement this, focusing the selected snippets on the current editing mode... In any case, I don't think that snippets belong in a hierarchical menu, and as much as I would like for you to be able to stick to minimal modal interfaces, I think that in this case, it's worth adding one more.

While creating a new file in TM, I accidently typed a capital letter. After, it was impossible to change it with "rename" (error beep). I guess it's because it's the same name, only with different capitalization... -- Fred

GREP Weirdness

by Ben Jackson

Hi all, Pleased to join the list. I'm excited about the potential of this software. So GREP is acting up... when I search ^\s*(?:\w+ +?)+.+$ TextMate crashes without warning. This string works fine in TextWrangler/BBEdit. Some other strings have behaved unexpectedly. Is this a known issue? Also, the program crashes if there are errors in the GREP syntax. Without highlighting, these are not easy to avoid (maybe one for B5). -- Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento INCOMUM Design & Conceito +55 (21) 9127-2819 ben(a)incomumdesign.com http://www.incomumdesign.com

pdfLaTeX, b4

by Sune Foldager

So what's the deal with the -halt-on-error flag shipped from TM to pdfLaTeX? My pdflatex (pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b; from the teTeX package) doesn't dig that flag at least. -- Sune. :: the Cottage of Lost Play. :: http://cyanite.org

Making pretty pdf's with LaTeX

by Sune Foldager

Now that it seems we all need to use the i-Installer TeX distro in order to play nicely with TextMate, I'd like to recomend people to install the TeX CM-Super package also found with i-Installer. This basically makes pdflatex (and dvips etc.) store Type-1 fonts in the created pdf's and ps's, instead of on-demand created bitmap fonts from metafont sources (which is default). True those bitmap fonts are usually high-DPI (sometimes 600), but a) Most viewers on X11 _hate_ bitmap fonts, and display a crappy result even for 600dpi fonts. b) When you zoom, you see the edges starting to show. c) Vektor fonts are _always_ preferable IMO, and might even take up less space :-). Just install the package and it will be used automatically. Note: It's a rather big download. -- Sune. :: the Cottage of Lost Play. :: http://cyanite.org

Inputs in Text Window

by Mr. Robert Ullrey

A while back, early December I think, I read that there was going to be work on allowing TextMate to 'preview' text being givin to it by the system. I am still frustrated with changing inputs (e.g., greek) as well as not being able to use input engines like "Spell Checker". Ant estimate on this bug fix? Thanks Robert

Line Up/Down for Arrow Keys?

by Wayne Larsen

I love the new file chooser, however, is it possible for textmate to allow line up or line down to be used in place of the arrow keys for list navigation? I'd love to do "Cmd-T Search String C-n C-n". If I'm going to move my hand off to the arrow keys, I might as well just move it a little further and use the mouse... If this is already possible, please enlighten me! Thanks, Wayne

esc auto-complete?

by Simon Gregory

I'm trying to add a few snippets to the Actionscript bundle to include some of the shortcuts that Actionscript developers would be used to after coding in Flash. I've got the tab completion working fine but I'm used to pressing esc then the key combination to invoke an auto complete and was hoping that someone could tell me how to get this working. If you've time then an explanation of Activation: Key Equivalent and Activation: Input Pattern would also be useful as I can't find any documentation. Thanks, Simon

Editing a graphic in PS

by Eric Curtis

I was noticing that if I right click in the project drawer a file will give me an option to reveal or open in the finder. Is there a way to add to this list so that I can open in photoshop? Another thing I would most likely do is add a reveal in pathfinder as I do not use the finder much. Thanks, Eric

ODB, FTP and external editors

by James Adam

I just downloaded the new version of Cyberduck, and it looks like TextMate isn't prompting the ftp application to reupload the file after saving. I've tried this in Fugu and seen the same behaviour. SubEthaEdit works, so the issue would seem to like with TM. I thought we had ODB support in this editor?

Suggestion: Folding behavior modification

by Eric Curtis

I was recently working with folding and noticed a dangerous behavior that I would like see changed if possible. I was working on an html document with the setup something like: <div id="section_1">... (dangerous place to backspace) <div id="section_2">... (dangerous place to backspace) <div id="section_3">... (dangerous place to backspace) What I noticed was if your cursor was on one of the lines that I labeled (dangerous place to backspace) above and you backspaced it would delete the entire folded content. What is especially troublesome is that the only indication that it happened is the little ... graphic disappears. The behavior I would like to suggest is that if you backspace in one of the above situations the fold opens automatically and one character is deleted. This way if I really did want to delete it all I can select it and do so otherwise I am given a clear indication of what happened. Sincerely, Eric Curtis

TextMate Command as an independent process?

by kumar mcmillan

Hi. [file under feature request] not sure if this would be possible ... could a Command process run independently of TextMate? For example, On Mondays the backup runs on our dev server which slows down rsync from my workstation. I have rsync mapped to a command to send changes to the dev server. When rsync runs slow, all of TextMate hangs until the rsync process is complete. It would be nice though if I could continue working while it rsynced my project files. I obviously haven't thought about this too hard because what if the command is set to replace text or something. hmm... well thought I would put it out there anyway in case there is a way to do it. k

Feature suggestion: Open file as edit vs. browse

by Anders Isaksson

Hi all, I have been using TextMate since December last year and I have found myself using it like more and more as some sort of Finder replacement. At least for text-files that I can open and edit in TextMate. As TextMate is my primary programming environment where I edit source code, ini-files, etc, I have a problem when I open a file for "browsing". I mean when I open a file with no intention to edit it but to read it, copy code sections, check how certain functions are implemented, etc. The problem, or let me say the inconvenience, is that the file remains open as a tab and I have to manually close it. I could think of two ways to open a file: 1 - For editing, 2 - For browsing. When a file has been opened for editing TextMate would have the same behaviour as today. When a file has been opened for browsing I could think of a behaviour that close the file as soon as I leave it. For now I have no idea on how to select between open edit vs. open browse but one way could be to use a combination of ctrl, alt or command key to open browse.

Append to Each Line question

by Fred B.

Hi, I just had the chance to try "Append to each line of Selection" and I'm wondering if it would be possible to be able to "backspace" the end of all lines or even moving the cursor and append to each line at that position. This would make this feature much more useful when: -You have to remove a closing tag before adding stuff -You want to add stuff before the closing tab. -You want to replace the closing tag -etc. Which is pretty often for me. Maybe this would be more complicated to implement, I don't know, but this would be one more killer feature in TM for sure. It's good to know you've bet on the good horse. ;)

LaTeX syntax enhancements.

by Brad Miller

In an effort to avoid actual writing this afternoon, I decided to add some enhancements to the LaTeX syntax bundle. Here's what I've done: \textbf{foobar} -> highlights with textbf as the usual maroonish/purplish command color but foobar is bolded in black \textit{foobar} -> sames as above but foobar is italicized in black \texttt{foobar} -> same as above but in a teletype font, ha, no really, its underlined. Added highlighting for strings like: `foo' and ``foo'' These are colored in the same green as math. I find this one really helpful as it also points out when I've forgotten to use the proper pairing of quotes. I thought about highlighting "foo" in red to really remind me that its wrong. Added $ to the list of smart typing pairs. I don't know about the rest of you but 99% of the time when I type a $ in LaTeX its to do math. I also brightened up that maroonish purplish color just slightly since it seemed a bit dim to me. Since these changes seem generally useful and non-controversial (except maybe the color change). I'd be happy to contribute these to the subversion repository if Alan would grant me an account. However, since there are already at least three people in the history file I thought I would post my ideas for further discussion. Any requests?

Bundle distribution principle?

by David Wooten

Greetings all, Just thinking a little about the bundle-inclusion-principle. There's some pretty strong evidence that Allan is a fan of Quicksilver, and it brought to mind the idea that the TMer could download only those bundles (s)he would use. In my case, pretty much exclusively LaTeX. I would guess that, unlike Quicksilver plugins (?), the extra bundles don't have an effect on performance per se, but there is a certain pleasure in being parsimonious. ;) D. Wooten

Syntax Highlighting Selection & Command Output Window

by Chu

Some basic things I couldn't figure out: -Is it possible to assign key shortcuts to "Syntax Highlight As" menu for different languages. Right now I launch TextMate & use it for writing quick scripts in the default New Document window which has no syntax highlighting and it is a pain to go to the menu and select the language. -Going with the previous point, can we set the default Syntax Highlight language for the New Document. -What's up with the Command Output Window. It has a huge empty White block on top & dragging the resize bar brings an empty grey block at the bottom. Unless I am missing something, it sure can use some redesign & have features like multiple buffers for each script/selection run but in an elegant configurable way and/or optional output appending in the same window with a divider etc.

Auto-Refresh the project drawer

no-frills ctags

by Chris Thomas

I got curious. Here's no-frills (and no-warranty) ctags lookup suitable for use with the TM command editor. Select the identifier you're looking for and run this command to find it. Tested with the output from the ancient ctags command installed with Mac OS X. It doesn't support any 'ex' commands except pattern matching. It probably does not work with the extended ctags format, but it would be trivial to make the necessary modifications. There is one problem, however: either my URI syntax is wrong or TextMate's 'txmt://' handler doesn't seem to be handling the 'line' parameter. It would be nice to be able to access this command from the contextual menu. ruby <<END search_string = ENV['TM_SELECTED_TEXT'] exit if search_string == "" # find the tags file in the folder containing the active file tagfile_path = File.dirname(ENV['TM_FILEPATH']) + "/tags" tags = File.open(tagfile_path, "r").read tagarray = tags.scan( /(#{search_string})\t(.*?)\t\\/\\^(.*)\\\$\\/\n/ ) linearray = tagarray.collect do |t| puts t.join("\t") identifier = t[2] path = t[1] sourcefile = File.open(path, "r") while( sourcefile.gets ) break if \$_ =~ Regexp.new(Regexp.escape(identifier)) end sourcefile.lineno end tagarray.each_with_index do |t, index| puts "#{t[1]}:#{linearray[index]} #{\$_}" command = %Q{open txmt://open?url=file://#{File.expand_path(t[1])}&line=#{linearray [index]}} puts command system(command) end END

Feature Req: Big text areas in Find&Replace

Hello ATM, in the find & replace dialogs (both for the signle file and project-wide), there are single line areas to type the text, even tho you can paste multiple lines there, its difficult to scroll through them.

How to open Textmate from external program with specific caret position?

by Joachim Mårtensson

I have been writing a little app that lists text files. When I double click the NSTableView containing the file name I want it to open in TextMate, place the caret on a specific line and scroll down to that line, just like for example xcode does when double clicking in the error list. Is there some way to accomplish this (preferably from Cocoa)? I don`t have any problems opening the file in TextMate. Its the caret positioning that is getting to me. Joachim

comparable windows editor?

by Justin French

I've got a part-timer about to start work with me on a Windows machine on some Rails stuff, and I need to recommend a free or cheap text editor for him to get started on (until I buy a macmini for him). In particular, I think he needs the project drawer, because there's a heap of files to work with in Rails, and something that has a PHP & Ruby syntax highlighter included. Sorry for being a little OT, but surely some of you must be recovering Windows types and can recommend something???

key command to switch between edit and project-file-list pane

by kumar mcmillan

Hi. I just read the latest news on the TextMate site about a "quick launch" thingie for selecting a project file [ http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/01/28/elevating-the-standard/ ] I haven't tested this out in the beta but I think this is a great idea. However, I have a much simpler request that is related to navigating around TextMate mouse-free. How about a key command to switch focus from the editor pane to the project-file-list pane. This is about the only thing left that I have to touch the mouse for when editing! Currently I manually click on a file in the project-file-list pane, use the arrows to find another one, then press enter to open it for editing (unless I'm in the mood for mousing). now... if there was a way to jump back to the file-list pane via key-command while editing that would be great. Of course, the quick launch will be helpful but the above request seems like an easy feature to add, no? Net News Wire Lite, which has the same drawer-content window layout, allows for movement between these panes via left/right arrows ... making RSS reading completely mouse free. Emacs users will love you for it Allan :) thx, K

Problem with perl snippet (bundle or Textmate?)

by Gregg Thomason

I want a perl snippet that does this: open($1, "$2") or die "Can't open file: $!\n"; while(<$3>) { $4 } I enter this into the snippet editor. What happens is: 1. The "entry point" is always $2. (in other words, type 'openTAB', get the snippet, but the insertion point is at $2) 2. hitting TAB after entering some text moves the insertion to $1, but any attempts to hit tab to move to the while ($3) fail; it just inserts a literal TAB. 3. escaping the $! with something like \$! has no effect; it always inserts '!n'. I even tried \\n and variations thereof with $! to no effect. I'm not sure if this is a side effect of the Perl syntax rules/bundle (using the stock one, I long since abandoned mine in favor of the other, superior one :) or another weirdness. As a side note, I want $1 and $3 to be the same thing; is it enough to just call 'em both $1?

Tip: Append LF's to lines in selection

by Allan Odgaard

Just a little tip, the Append to Lines in Selection can also have new-lines appended, so e.g. we can select: case NSHomeFunctionKey case NSEndFunctionKey case NSPageUpFunctionKey case NSPageDownFunctionKey Append to lines in selection and type: “:<LF>break;” to get: case NSHomeFunctionKey: break; case NSEndFunctionKey: break; case NSPageUpFunctionKey: break; case NSPageDownFunctionKey: break; Or select: if([nonBase characterIsMember:ch]) else if([upcase characterIsMember:ch]) else if([alnum characterIsMember:ch]) And type: “<LF>{<LF>” to get: if([nonBase characterIsMember:ch]) { } else if([upcase characterIsMember:ch]) { } else if([alnum characterIsMember:ch]) { }

Paging a Bundle expert... (modifying SQL syntax colors debug)

by Paul Nordstrom August

hi everyone the bad news is that the latest beta (or how I installed it) ended up deleting all my previous Custom snippets, macros etc. The good news I guess is that I'm re-doing them (not so many anyway) in a much better way :) Separately I wanted to adapt the default SQL to colorize some of the COLLATE and CHARSET data, partly just as a tutorial. My CocoaMySQL creates table definitions including the following (unfortunately with the "`" included), e.g.: > `user` varchar(20) collate utf8_bin default NULL, > [...] > ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin I wanted to offset the collate and CHARSET content so I cut-and-paste within the SQL bundle to create the following: > <dict> > <key>foregroundColor</key> > <string>#ff3300</string> > <key>match</key> > > <string>^\s*\w+\s+(collate|utf8_bin|DEFAULT|CHARSET|utf8|COLLATE)\s*</ > string> > <key>name</key> > <string>Charset Types</string> > </dict> Alas nothing happens ;) Could anyone give me a hand? This is hardly urgent, but I am just curious what I am doing wrong... FYI I based it on the following; I'm hardly a regex expert or anything but I thought I knew what was going on... Thanks!

Adding System Folders to Project Without Drag And Drop

by Patrick Burleson

I'm hoping I've just overlooked something to be able to do this: Instead of having to drag a folder from the Finder on the project drawer to add a live updating folder, it would be nice to be able to add them with a folder chooser much like "Add Existing Files..." . Also, I can't seem to reorder folders inside a group. Whereas I can reorder groups. Is this a current limitation? Thanks, Patrick P.S. Love the file chooser in the latest beta. It's like being in IDEA, except for my rails development. :-)

"Save As" bug?

by Vaska.Txt

I'm very new to the group and TextMate so I hope that this has not already been hashed out. I'm having a problem when I "Save As" with an open document. What happens is the original document disappears from the project list. The new document takes its place. I have to reboot the app to get it to refresh properly so I see both the new document and the original document in the list. For now, I can work around this (by simply creating new documents and then cut and paste), but I think it's probably a bug... I'm using OSX 10.3.7 and TextMate 1.1b1 (v1.1b1). Thanks, v

Improvement: Set focus to editor after Drag&Drop operation

by Christian Schwanke

Hi, I just managed to create a custom Drag Command that works similiar to the IMG-Dragging in HTML-Mode. However, after dropping a file, TextMate inserts the correct code but the focus stays with the project Drawer. Since I insert the code as a snippet, I have to press Shift+Tab in order to focus the editor pane before I can step through the different snippet-variables. So please, set the focus to the editor pane after drop-events or at an option to configure this behaviour. I'd also like to see a popup displaying the various auto-completion options instead of the ESC-cycle solution. Thanks in advance, Christian

Autocomplete from syntax file?

by Chris Jenkins

I was wondering whether there were any plans to alter the way TM auto-completes? The current system is good, but Id like it to be able to auto complete from files other than the current one, say all open files or all files in the project. Another probably even more useful ability would be if the syntax files could specify a list of keywords that could also be auto-completed on any file. Any other thoughts on this anyone? ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Highlighting changes made to a document

by Andrew Green

Hi, Firstly, heartfelt thanks and congratulations to Allan on the latest beta. TextMate is getting better and better, seriously quickly. There's still one key feature from SubEthaEdit I'd *love* to see in TextMate, and that's the ability to highlight changes made to a document as they're made, using a background colour -- in much the same way that TM can now highlight the current line. By way of context, much of my work involves updating and tweaking code I've already written, and a great side-effect of the way SEE implements its collaborative editing is that any changes you make to a file can be highlighted as you go using a background colour of your choice. This makes it incredibly easy to see just what I've changed in the current session, so when I introduce bugs, I can very rapidly find what I've done and put it right. Could such a feature be included in TM? Or would it conflict horribly with the new syntax highlighting system?

Nested snippet placeholders

by Jan-Ole Esleben

Hi! I wonder if I am the only person that would love to see nested snippets. Apparently, at the moment, snippets are processed by regular expression matching, which rules out nesting of placeholders. But wouldn't it be great if one could do something like this (that's for Prolog code): findall(${1:X}, ${2:member(${1:X}, $4)}, ${1:X}s) If you deleted $2, of course, the placeholders inside it would not be activated any more. And sorry if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find any references to this particular subject. Ole

Feature Request: Default Highlighting

by Torsten Becker

Hi Allan and List, Sorry if this already exists, but I didn't find a way to do this with the current beta. If I fire up TextMate (or activate it, because it runs all the time) I often just do some normal writing of text. For this I have a basic highlighting which just highlights URLs. But in this situation (after pressing command-n) there is no highlighting activated. I would be very pleased if there could be some preference to define a default highlighting which gets applied to new files or the ones without a defined highlighting so that I not always have to adjust it from hand to see blue URLs. :) -- Torsten Becker

default fold level

by Jamal Johnson

howdy, is there a way to setup a default fold level for a particular mode so when you open a file in that mode it will automatically fold at that level? i looked in the help and at some syntax highlighting examples but didn't see anything of the sort. also, i would like to say i LOVE cmd-T!! i'm not using the project drawer at all anymore. i have 2 requests concerning it tho. 1) can the list 'wrap' so when you get to the top or bottom using arrow keys, it will wrap to the bottom / top respectively? 2) can there be an option to show the 'path' of the file, either in a tooltip or after the file name because i have many files with the same name in some of my projects and i can't tell which is which. thanx! - jamal

Snippet scope

by Jan-Ole Esleben

Hi! I'm a bit confused: XML snippets automatically work in my Prolog files and vice versa. And I couldn't find any information with regard to the "scope" field in the bundle editor (which I guess might be a solution to my problem - I don't want to lose the ">"-tab activation for empty tags, but it drives me mad whenever I try to write a conditional in Prolog, which starts with a "->" and needs some tab-formatting to be readable). Can anyone help me out there? Ole

[Slightly OT] Anyone using zsh for commands?

by Ralph Pöllath

Hi, I've been a zsh user for quite some time, but haven't used it for scripting due to portability reasons. Now I just finished reading "From Bash to Z-Shell", and realized how much more elegant those sh scripts could be with zsh (or bash, I guess). And since TM runs on Mac OS X exclusively, which ships with zsh by default, there's no portability to consider. Soo.. anyone using zsh for command scripting who would like to share? Unfortunately, I don't do much text editing and therefore scripting myself lately, so don't expect any gems from me.. I'm just curious. Thanks, -Ralph. --- "From Bash to Z-Shell" <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593766/ qid=1106825397/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-0742256-4403924?v=glance&s=books>

Keyboard Navigation after "Append to Each Line in Selection"

by Tim Martens

I've run into an instance using this great new feature (Append to Each Line in Selection) in release 1.1b3 where I think we can improve usability. I'll do my best to explain it, but it will be easier to understand by referring to the attached image (sorry). Also. I may be missing something obvious, as I'm a "switcher" with deeply embedded Windows keyboard navigation habits. I'm currently attending rehab for this condition : ) Here goes: + I'm in a 27 line text file + Lines 1-21 have data + Lines 22-27 are blank + I've just finished Appending to Each Line in a Selection (Option/Alt + Cmd + A) which covers lines 18-21 + Line 18-21 are indented a couple of columns + My cursor no sits at the end of line 18 From here I would like to put my cursor to the beginning of line 22 WITHOUT using my mouse. Having search through the GUI and played with all possible key strokes (I think), two options arise... OPTION 1: Option/Alt + Arrow Down This takes me to the same column of line 21, from where I can do another "Arrow Down" and then a Ctrl + Arrow Left" to arrive at my destination (Column 1 of line 22). This option requires a total of 5 keystrokes. Entirely too many to be optimally usable OPTION 2: Go to Line (Cmd + L) This option require also require 5 keystrokes (4 if the target line number is a single digit, 6 if triple) One might also try Option or Control + Page Down, which takes you to the bottom of the document (line 27), but then I have to make my way back up to line 22 (many keystrokes). Assuming I have not missed anything painfully obvious. I'm wondering if we can add such functionality to the Navigation menu. Basically "Go to first column of the next blank line." Possibly map this to "Ctrl+Option+PageDown/PageUp" if that doesn't conflict. IT NOW OCCURS TO ME, HAVING REVIEWED THIS, THAT MAYBE (ALSO) HAVING THE CURSOR END UP AT THE END OF THE LAST LINE IN THE SELECTION WHEN EXECUTING AN APPEND TO EACH LINE IN SELECTION MIGHT BE BETTER?

TM & UBB code some questions

by Mats Persson

Great beta 3 Allan !!! In the last week I have been writing some postings on a private forum, which uses UBB code [b]bold text[/b] tags. As I prefer to work in a bigger text editor window and in larger text sizes, I create my post in TM, and then post it into the posting form. While doing this, I am missing the "Insert Closing Tag" functionality of HTML, and started wondering about how I could extend it to handle the basic UBB tags as well. Unfortunately I didn't get very far as I can't really see the starting point. :( Ideally it would be great to have a syntax .tmbundle that made [b]bold[/b] and so on. Anyone has any ideas or input to help with ?? Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

feature request: arrow-left to go to parent item in hierarchical list views?

by M Spreij

The Thunderbird mail client and Mozilla's bookmark editor both have a neat feature when you're cursoring through hierarchical lists (threaded view in Thunderbird): when an item is selected and you hit the left-arrow (or arrow-left?) key, it jumps to the parent item. Hit it again and the parent item closes. The latter already happens in a lot of places, would be nice if the former behaviour was put in as well :-) /MS

how do you close excess tabbed files?

by Edmundo Ortega

What about adding a preference for tabs that works like this: When checked, any file clicked on in the project drawer is automatically added as a tab. This is the current behavior. When unchecked, you must command-click (or something like that) to add a file to the tab bar. This would work well for me, because many times I'm working on a set of files, but i must refer to other files temporarily (eg to check an interface). I always forget to close those files and I end up with a lot of extra files in my tabs that I don't want open for more than a moment. The idea above would allow you to have a set of open tabbed files that comprise your working set. Files that are not specifically opened as a tab will only appear while you are looking at them. When they are being viewed, all the tabs will be in the off state. When you click a tab again, the temporary file will disappear. To look at it again you must choose it from the project drawer. Come to think of it, this is a bit like the behavior of Safari or Firefox. Imagine if every page you clicked on became a new tab in your browser. Ed

Feature Request: Remember Project Drawer State

by Jeremy Brown

Hello, I recently purchased TextMate and love the product. I start understanding more of it every day. Kudos to the development team. I'd like to make a request (or maybe this is currently possible and I just don't see it?) to be able to have the state of the project be "remembered" as I open and close projects/TextMate. Meaning, if I have 25 folders in a project, and I have 6 of those folders listing contents, I'd like that state to show up next time I open TextMate instead of having to navigate through the project again and open those folders. I searched the archives and couldn't find any similar requests or notes, so apologies if this redundant. P.S. Is there some kind of "intro to TextMate" documentation that basically runs over what snippets, macros, etc. are and how they are used/created/handled in TextMate? Just a basic doc on "here's what makes TextMate great" with some examples would be terrific. Keep up the good work. -- Thanks, Jeremy Brown

File navigation feature requests

by Tobias Luetke

I love textmate to death and use it exclusively for all my development since its release. The only area where I wish for some improvement is the file management. Most of my work is in projects which contain hundreds of files and folders so this limits the tab bars usefulness quite a bit. It seems to be easier for me to start several textmate instances one pointing to different logical parts of the application. The first and bigger proposal is to bring intelligent file opening to textmate. This works much like quicksilver. A hotkey opens a edit window and an attached dropdown window specializes itself more and more as you type. A simple search would be "user" which would offer you all files with the word user in them. A more complex example would be typing "usrg" with would find USeR_Gateway.rb, USeRGlobals so on. I recommending installing quicksilver for a demonstration of the paradigm. Its great emerging technology and would be a great competitive advantage to have natively in TM. The same code could later be used to jumping to methods within a file. Another proposal would be introduction of intelligent tab fading. During inactivity the least recently used tabs start to fade out and close themselves after a while. This happens slower when there is lots of space in the tab bar and faster the more items there are. This would be great to cut the tab clutter and get rid of files automatically with which you are done. Currently i'm finding myself using close all windows all the time. -- Tobi http://www.hieraki.org - Open source book authoring http://blog.leetsoft.com - Technical weblog

Feature request: vertical alignment guides. Opening nibs.

by Joachim Mårtensson

Hello everyone. I have used TextMate for close to a month now and really like it. One thing I would love to have is vertical guides, that flow from opening if/while/for til they close( Yes I program in Python, why do you ask ;) ). Kind of how many mail programs quote messages. Ofcourse there is a chance that the guide-line will hit a comment or unindented code (Not in Python though), but it could just skip drawing on that line. The vertical lines could use different colo[u]rs for different indentation levels. Another thing that would be nice, was if I could double click a nib-file in the project drawer and it would launch Interface Builder. Right now it shows me the contents of the nib folder, meaning I have to open the nib via the Finder. A step I would rather not do. Joachim Mårtensson

repeat command? Is there/can there be one?

by William D. Neumann

Apologies if this has been discussed before, I'm away from my mail archive and I couldn't search. One of the more useful features of vim (for me at least) is the ability to pass a number as a parameter to a command, most of which used that as the number of times to repeat the command (though there are more specialized commands, like n%, which positions the cursor n% of the way down from the top of the file). This is especally useful for operations like "delete the next 10 tokens" (10dw), or jump down 25 lines (25j -or- 25<down-arrow>), and I really made use of it when prototyping OCaml code with its toplevel loop, where errors in long functions are pointed out by the number of characters from the start of the input string, not its line and column numbers... So if I am told there's a problem with the code between characters 2674 and 2679, I just have to position the cursor at the top of the text I entered and enter 2674<right-arrow> and it will take me to the start of the offending code. Now, as far as I can tell, TextMate doesn't have anything like this built in (a "repeat the next event n times" command), or am I just missing it somewhere? If it's not in there, could you consider this as a feature request for such a thing? One more thing, might it be possible to alter the behavior of Go to Line... to also accept a negative number, -n, and go to line n from the bottom? Would anyone else find these things useful, or am I the only odd one in the bunch? William D. Neumann --- "There's just so many extra children, we could just feed the children to these tigers.

Another file save issue

by Johan Allard

Hi, I just noticed today an unexpected save behaviour. Sometimes after I started editing a file, I realise that I should have named the file something else. No problem, I drop into my terminal and rename the file. Normally (even MS Word behaves like this), the program realises the name change and updates it's menu with the new file name. TM just saved the file again, with the old name and I got stuck with two files with the same content. That is the first time I've seen that happen. //johan

invisibles bundle update; stupefy quotes/hyphens and zap non-ASCII added

by Eric Hsu

dear everyone, I have added a couple of commands to the Invisibles.tmbundle. One turns the 'smart' quotes that look awful in HTML, etc., into plain quotes. The other deletes all 'non-ASCII' characters. Now your favorite non-English language might have some characters that Invisibles thinks are gremlins and which get colored red and deleted in the Zap. You can change the pattern yourself to better suit your needs, in the Invisibles.plist and the Zap Command. You may want to refer to an ASCII chart (just google it). You can get this last bundle from http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate/ but most of the fun stuff is happening at the TextMate SVN site. http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk Perhaps soon there will be a cron script that zips up the latest Bundles automatically... best, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

A few things that annoy me

by Ivar Åsell

1. I want "File-->Save" to be disabled when a file just has been opened or saved. The fact that it is not grayed out makes me think TM didn't save the file although I pressed CMD-S 2. I don't want to save a file just to try out a different encoding. Many times per day I open files where my special swedish letters åäö is messed up because applications like SSE doesn't save the file properly for TM to understand which encoding it uses so it gets wrong all the time. I'd really really like to see "reinterpret this file with encoding: " and "convert this file to encoding: " not only reinterpret as TM uses (which also reloads the file, so one has to make sure to save first) 3. A Document saved by SSE as ISO-Latin1 and open by TM is recognized as that encoding. But saving the file with TM now magically changes the file to UTF-8. Don't get me wrong, I love TM... bought my license and haven't regret it at all! Just need a few changes to truly love working with it :) Kind Regards Ivar

Invisible Characters?

by Eric Curtis

Well I just got back from an extended vacation and I am starting to put textmate back to use but for the life of me I can not find any command to show invisible characters. I thought it had this feature...? What am I missing? Thanks, Eric

Solution for cut to end of line (emacs ctrl-k)?

by Brad Miller

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For the last 7-8 weeks I've been trying to retrain myself to not use ctrl-k/ctrl-y. Apparently it cannot be done. I've spent more time undoing the crazy results of ctrl-k followed by ctrl-y than I care to talk about. I've tried the macro route, and I now understand that macros have their own clipboards, which explains why the text that I cut inside the macro just dissappears forever. As suggested by someone on this list earlier (back in November), I've created a macro to select to end of line, followed by a command that cats the selected text into a temp file, and I've put both of those little commands inside yet another macro bound to ctrl-k. I've bound ctrl-y to a macro that cats the file into the current buffer. The problem with this approach is that now ctrl-k / ctrl-y have their own private little clipboard. so ctrl-y can't paste anything from the system clipboard or a 'regular' cut/paste. Does anybody have a better solution to this problem yet? I'm so happy with so many things about TextMate, and I have paid the license fee, but this morning I found myself trying out other editors again :-( Thanks, Brad Brad Miller, PhD Assistant Professor Luther College http://www.cs.luther.edu/~bmiller jabber: bnmnetp(a)jabber.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) iD8DBQFB7TAot6pClM1VKiYRAr1/AJ95KPx7Pm+5DEnUC8Vi76NPx4KhWACfQSWB IrUCwUhZ5DZQ87C5rFsfsUA= =xeLB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

feature request: toggle foldings for blocks of type x

by Ralph Pöllath

Hi, One thing that I'd love to see in TM is the ability to fold all blocks of a certain type, e.g. multiline comments. Cheers, -Ralph.

feature request: autosave

by Paul Nordstrom August

hi guys somehow one of my old .php files was encoded as a BBEdit document so when I double-clicked BB opened up... what a shock! Like travelling back in time. Honestly I wondered if it had booted Classic up, the menu looked so old :) [Disclaimer, that's BB 7.x not 8.0, so maybe they freshened it up.] Anyway that shows how fast TM has progressed. Just about the only thing I miss (because I screwed up a bunch o' code today ;) is the autosave feature where each file is backed up before each change. Can we please have that in TM for us klutzes? p.

one more update to command line tool

by Eric Hsu

Three changes. I fixed the -w flag to await the closing of the editing window without any RETURN prompt. I stole the code from Marcin's <otheraccount(a)verizon.net> recent script. (What is Marcin's last name?) I added a -t flag like bbedit, so you can name the piped input. I also added the ability to pass a -u flag so filenames are treated as URLs. It then uses curl to decipher/download the filenames and passes the results to TM. Unfortunately, this only works for anonymous FTP and not most FTP/SFTP setups. I'm sure someone enterprising could do it, but it doesn't seem worth it unless TM saves files back to S/FTP. On the other hand, bbedit doesn't handle http at all! :) Here is the current help file. >TextMate Command Line Tool >usage: tm [-chtuw] filename [filename ...] > >This tool opens files, directories, URLs or (with no filenames) >standard input. > > -c Create a new file. > -h Show this help. > -t Specify a title for piped input. Overrides other flags. > -u Treat filenames as URLs (e.g. tm -u www.google.com). Uses curl. > -w Waits for the edited file window to close before ending (for >external editing) Here is (from what I can tell) lacking in comparison to bbedit. - jump to line number (probably you'd want to use a command with output parsing anyway... see e.g. Perl>PerlErrors) - print (probably needs some Applescript... Marcin?) - FTP/SFTP (prob need support from TM itself) The latest script is still at <http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Scripts/tm>. best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: [TxMt] syntax tool

It also seems like Allan has a lot of stuff on his to-do list! 1.2 could be a long ways off... So, to put my money where my mouth is, I tried out Chris Thomas's hierarchical scheme with the Perl.tmbundle just to see how hard it would be. It actually didn't take very long; the main issue was deciding where in the hierarchy things should go, like variables and functions. Things that were unlikely to have an analog in another language (like POD) I put in a hierarchy beneath *.perl. I also renamed the Latex innards. It was a little harder, as it's not really a programming language, but I took a shot at it. - Eric ps. These are the classes I used. I know I'll just have to change them again, but it _feels_ more organized. :) comments.line.perl comments.perl.POD keywords.control.perl keywords.functions.perl keywords.functions.perl.arrows keywords.functions.perl.comparison keywords.functions.perl.filetest keywords.variables.perl keywords.variables.perl.# keywords.variables.perl.special keywords.variables.perl.special# strings.backticked.perl strings.double-quoted.perl strings.double-quoted.perl.q strings.double-quoted.perl.qlinestart strings.program-block.perl strings.regexp.perl strings.single-quoted.perl comments.line.latex keywords.functions.latex keywords.functions.latex.citations keywords.functions.latex.sections keywords.latex.braces strings.latex.equation-$ strings.latex.equation-$$ strings.latex.equation-braces -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Feature request: "see" like SubEthaEdit

by Lars Pind

Hi Allan, I love this new features in the latest release of SubEthaEdit: It installs a shell command, see, which lets you open up files from the command line by just typing see myfile.rb (or some other file—you get the picture). Now could we get the same thing for TextMate, please? That would be really useful, since I'm always working in both TextMate and the shell at the same time, and if I need to edit a particular file, it would typically be faster to just open the file from the shell, than to grab the mouse and click-expand/scroll around the folders tree to locate and open it. I know that I can say open file.name, if that file is already associated with TextMate, but it opens in a separate window, not as part of my project. It would be nice with a command that just always opens TextMate, regardless of associations. And when you make this feature, make sure you check if the file is already included in one of my open projects, and open it there, not in a separate window. Thanks! :) /Lars Also posted at http://www.pinds.com/blog/one-entry?entry%5fid=21472

Re: [TxMt] syntax tool

by Eric Hsu

>Of course, what one could do is establish hierarchy using the names, >and then have the editor parse the name keys. Yes, I believe something like this will have to be done. From an old post: >For the record, BBEdit 8 recognizes the following colors for customization: > >General: Foreground, Background >Guide Contrast [the color of non-page window] >Custom Highlight Color: Primary, Secondary >Highlight Insertion Point Line Color >Source Code: Keywords, String Constants, Comments >HTML Tags: General, Processing Instructions, Anchor, Image, Names, Values Are these enough categories to go with? Is there some common/known taxonomy of code categories we can use? If we can settle on a scheme, bundle writers can touch up their work right away. I like the fact that TM's color schemes are so customizable; but one wonders how much complexity a typical user will want. There should probably be some kind of scheme to install the color schemes of others... And if one sets colors in a global stylesheet, how should one handle one language embedded in another? E.g. PHP/HTML or Perl/HTML? - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

I'd love to see the source. I think Allan is planning something rather general and powerful. In the meantime people would probably appreciate it if (1) bundle writers standardized the 'names' of the various color classes and (2) somebody wrote a little GUI that let people pick a standard set of colors with the color picker and then propagate the changes across all bundles. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

syntax tool

by Nick Hristov

Hello, list. I am about to hack up a small Cocoa tool to edit the syntax highlighting of the bundles... it's a pain to do it manually. Would there be any interest among you to distribute it here? It will be free of course, and I will provide the source. Nick
