updated command-line-tool

by Eric Hsu

Okay, somebody had the brilliant and easy idea of adding a little 'Hit RETURN' kludge to allow use of TM with svn and other external editing. So I tweaked the command line tool I posted and added a better help listing and a -w to have it block until the user hits RETURN. I have used it successfully to check it into SVN and use TM to write the comment. The little pleasures! :) You can get it at <http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Scripts/tm>. If you need this tool, you don't need my help installing it... best, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: [TxMt] Feature request: "see" like SubEthaEdit

by Eric Hsu

1. I have appended a shell script that launches TM and allows piped input. I did not write the script; in fact, I merely found it in my ~/bin directory and thought that it came with the standard TM install. The -c option lets you create a new file. It does lack the crucial 'don't quit until editing is done' feature. Here are three kludges I can think of to get that feature. Given a -wait flag: a. add a block at the end of the script that creates a $TM_FILE.lock in the same directory and checks every N seconds for the .lock file. When it's gone, quit the script. Then create a command that saves current file and deletes the .lock file. Finally, write a little macro that saves, closes the window and runs the 'delete .lock' command. In a future version of TM that triggers scripts/commands on events, one can avoid the command and macro, and have 'Close Window' trigger the deletion of the lock file. b. have the shell script loop and check for changes to the modification date on the file. Unfortunately, that means it will quit on the first save. But you don't need any fiddling with macros and commands. c. call the Textmate Service from a (different) shell script. The TM Service definitely blocks whatever app calls it. In other contexts this might be a bug, but here it's great. However, I don't know how to pipe text to a Cocoa Service from the command line. This may be rather hard.

split view

by Andreas Bueler

Hi guys, is there a way to split a page in 2 views? Nice, when working with a lot of properties in a class. So I can have all the properties show up in one view, while working on other parts in the class. It would also be nice to have a split view with two different files. Like classfile1 on top and classfile2 on the bottom. Best Regards, Andy

View Man Page in Safari command

This gets more interesting once we have a way to direct HTML to the preview window. Another thing that would be nice: command execution from URLs, which would allow the references to other man pages to work. But there are -- of course -- security implications to that feature. Perhaps if it only works in the preview window, not system-wide. ruby -e " def error( message ) %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{message}\" end tell END } end def ask(question, answer = '$TM_SELECTED_TEXT') %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{question}\" default answer \"#{answer}\" set answername to text returned of the result do shell script (\"/bin/echo \" & answername) end tell END} end error('Xcode tools must be installed to view man pages') if not File.exist?('/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman') name = ask('Display man page for which command?') name.chomp! temptemp = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.TMmantemp} temphtml = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.html} %x{man #{name} > #{temptemp}} # generate HTML and open it if successfully found the entry if not \$?.success? then # puts 'No manual entry for ' + name %x{open -a TextMate &} # switch back to TextMate else %x{cat #{temptemp} | \"/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman\" -fHTML > #{temphtml}} %x{open #{temphtml}} end "

Pattern name available as a shell variable? (re: PHP code-completion)

by Ian

Hi, I'm currently rewritiing the php code completion thingy, and I'd like it to be scope sensitive. To find the scope at the cursor I can use the file as stdin, and work it out myself. But it struck me that I'd be able to work some things out based on the current pattern applications (like 'Embedded PHP', and being in quotes). So a couple of questions. * could we have a variable $TM_PATTERN_NAME which gives the current pattern name? * would there be a way to access patterns names 'higher up'? (like 'Embedded PHP')? I'm wanting to figure out the scope because I'm implementing scope sensitive completion, including completions based on your own code. Any comments, advice, much appreciated. Ian White

Asian language input methods

by Jonathon Delacour

Having just returned to the Macintosh after eight years of using Windows (and TextPad), one of the first applications I installed was TextMate. Twenty minutes later, when I'd piped my first text through markdown.pl and created my first tab-activated snippets, I was already happy to pay the license fee. However, I then found it wasn't possible to enter Japanese text. The list archives revealed that Kazuo Saito had already raised this issue (http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-December/001824.html) and that Allan Odgaard had promised a fix: > I can't give an ETA on when this will be fixed, but I can imagine it's > frustrating for those who rely on these input methods, so I'll try not > to have “the fix” pending for too long. I appreciate that perhaps only a tiny minority of TextMate users need to work with Asian languages but was hoping that it might be possible to give an approximate ETA on when this will be fixed. I really don't want to waste time looking for an alternative to TextMate. Thanks, Jonathon Delacour

Changing Tab-Behavior

by Andreas Bueler

Hi, I'm new to the list, so please forgive me, if this has being asked before. Is it possible to change the tab behavior of TextMate? For example I find it strange that single line intending to the right works correctly (using tabs), but if you try to tab back to the left site, it is using spaces instead of tabs. It would also be great to change the behavior of multi line tabbing. I'm so used to use the tab key to intend to the right and "apple key" together with the tab key to move lines to the left. But if I do that, the lines I would like to intend, are deleted. (I hope you understand what I mean.. sorry for my english) Other then that I really like TextMate. Kind Regards, Andy Switzerland

filtering command with CocoaDialog

by Eric Hsu

hi folks, Another tip I thought I'd share. I often have situations where I have to discard all lines in a file that start with a number, or other cleanup tasks like that. Now, you can use TM's Text>Filter Through Command... and then use grep or grep -v. But I have a hard time remembering grep's regexp format. It's already all I can do to remember TM's and Perl's. So I wanted to write a command to pop up a GUI input field so I could enter in a Perl regexp for lines to match with two buttons so I could either Keep only the matching lines or Discard the matching lines. So what I did was toss together a quick script in Perl and use CocoaDialog as a front-end. To use this, you need to download CocoaDialog from <http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/download.html>, and put it in /Applications. (If you don't like that place, change the path in the script.) If you don't have a need for this script, you still might be able to get some mileage out of CocoaDialog. It is a simple way to get GUI onto any script that talks to the command-line. It has a number of different window formats. Pashua is neat, but it requires use-ing a module, and Platypus is more for creating drag-and-drop things. good luck, Eric --- TM Command. Before: nothing Command: my$CD="/Applications/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog";my$rv=`$CD inputbox --title "Filter with Regexp" --no-newline \\ --informative-text "Filter lines matching this Perl regular expression:" \\ --text "" \\ --button1 "Keep" --button2 "Discard" \\ --width 500`;my($button_rv,$term)=split/\n/,$rv,2;while(<STDIN>){if($button_rv==2){unless(/$term/){print;}}elsif($button_rv==1){if(/$term/){print;}}} Stdin: selected Stdout: replace selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

YAIT (Yet Another Icon Thread)

I posted another set of icons to the wiki today, but I'll announce it here. They are more in line (I think) with aqua-style editor icons (pages and pen), and they use a lot of ideas garnered from the list archives. There are six colors in the disk image, so hopefully you will find one you like, and they all have been designed to degrade gracefully (48 is less detailed so it's not burry and 32 and 16 are even more so).

Re: [TxMt] LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

>If using LaTeXTidy.pl and your LaTex Tidy bundle command, were should >LaTeXTidy.pl be placed. I tried usr/local/bin but that did not work. >Should I place it inside the bundle itself. First, make sure it's set to execute (chmod +x LaTeXTidy.pl). Then either place it in your PATH and call it as LaTeXTidy.pl or put it somewhere you like, e.g. /usr/local/bin/LaTeXTidy.pl and call it with its full path in the command. I hope that works! If you put it in the same bundle as the command, then call it with wither the full path if you know it, or with "$TM_BUNDLE_PATH"/LaTeXTidy.pl if you think you might move it someday. Good luck, Eric ps. Backup your documents! Check! This works for me, but you should be cautious.

syntax color schemes

by Brian Lalor

I'd like to play around a bit with an alternative light-on-dark color scheme for my bundles, but, in the same way that I can't draw a straight line with a ruler (but can appreciate architecture) I am completely inept at picking text colors that have high contrast and look good (but I know them when I see them). I know someone (or someones) whipped up a C bundle with a light-on-dark scheme, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought I might start by looking at that, but what might be better is if someone could point me to a resource that had examples of high-contrast color schemes for text highlighting. :-) Anyone?

LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

Here is a little command I've written (as usual, a wrapper around a Perl script), which naively tries to indent your LaTeX file intelligently. If it succeeds, there are two good side effects. First, your file looks nicer. Second, your file foldings work correctly, as TM is cued by the indentation. Good luck. Check the file, if you use it. It works for me, your mileage may vary. I've appended the one-liner version. Since it is a blob of line noise, I also have a link to the latest version of the uncompressed Perl, which is at <http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Latex.tmbundle/LaTeXTidy.…> You can put that somewhere and write a command to call it instead. I suspect anyone with issues with the folding could customize this script for their language if necessary. I know PerlTidy and HTMLTidy exist. I couldn't find a TeXTidy, so I wrote this last year... - Eric -- Before: Nothing STDIN: Entire STDOUT: Replace doc Command: perl -e 'my$in;while(<STDIN>){$in.=$_;}my@keywords=qw( appendix author bibliography bigskip chapter date def document evensidemargin font headheight headsep include index make new noindent oddsidemargin page paragraph part ragged renew section subsection subsubsection subsubsubsection table textheight textwidth title topmargin use vfil);$in=~s/\%(.*?)\n/\n\n\%$1\n\n/g;my@pieces=split(/\n\s*\n/,$in);my$string,$keyword;foreach(@pieces){if(/^\s*\%/){$string.=$_."\n";next;}s/\s+/ /g;foreach$keyword(@keywords){s/(\\$keyword)/\n$1/g;}s/([^\\]\%)/\n$1/g;s/(\\begin\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\end\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\item)(.*?)(\\item)/$1$2\n$3/g;s/(\\item)/\n$1/g;s/[^\\](\\\[)/\n$1/g;s/(\\\])/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\)\s/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\\[)(.*?)(\])\s/$1$2$3\n/g;s/\n\s*\n/\n/g;s/^\n//;chomp;$string.=$_."\n\n";}$string=~s/\n\s+\n/\n\n/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(end)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(begin)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\\end)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;$string=~s/(\\begin)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;@pieces=split(/\[\n\n\n\]/,$string);my$indent=1;my@lines;my$piece,$i;$string="";foreach$piece((a)pieces){$piece=~s/\{\n\n\n\}//g;$piece=~/^\\(.*?)\{/;if(lc($1)eq"begin"){$indent++;}else{$indent--;}@lines=split(/\n/,$piece);foreach(@lines){s/^\s+//;if(/^\\begin/i){for($i=1;$i<=$indent-1;$i++){$string.="\t";}}else{for($i=1;$i<=$indent;$i++){$string.="\t";}}$string.=$_."\n";}}print$string;'

Could we change the menu under which macros/snippets/commands are shown?

by Chris Brierley

I love the new mode-based menu interface for macros/snippets/commands. What I'd really love is if I could control which mode menu they show up in. For example, I've made a couple of commands that are related to HTML. However, since I've made them myself, they show up under the "Custom" menu, when I'd really like them to be under "HTML". Maybe, like with the syntax files, a "mode" key could be added to the macros/snippets/commands plist files where I could specify which mode they should be a part of? What do you think? Thanks much.

Turn off auto-indent?

by Brian Smith

Wow--I use TextPad daily on my PC at work and always wished there was a text editor like it for the Mac where I could easily switch between documents with tabs. And the ability to call a shell script to do a word count or any other UNIX command and have the output appear as a tooltip, new window, or whatever you want--brilliant, and really easy to use. This is probably the first time I've wished TextPad could do some things a Mac editor can do, and not vice versa. There's only one seemingly minor thing that's keeping me from buying TextMate right now and retiring Tex-Edit Plus--TextMate's auto-identing feature, where if I have a paragraph of text (not code), it automatically inserts a tab on the next line when I hit return. This drives me nuts because while I use my Mac editor for HTML at times, I mainly use it to write documents that have normal indented paragraphs of text. At the end of a paragraph in a word processor or email program I'm conditioned to hit return, then hit tab for the next paragraph--so having TextMate indent the next paragraph automatically just means I end up with two tabs. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off auto-indenting of new lines, or is that a feature being considered for a future release? If there is a way to turn that off and I just can't find it, I apologize for being an idiot in advance...anyway, thanks to the developer for creating this, keep up the good work, -Brian

Re: [TxMt] properties parser?

by Eric Hsu

>I would like to automate some customization for some bundles (as >colors), is the format in those .plist files standard (for instance >Perl.plist)? If it is and you wanted to search for a parser for some >programming language which keyword would you use? If you are asking whether the 'names' of each color class (e.g. Comments) in the .plist is standard across the bundles, I'd say it would be a miracle if they were, since they were all hacked by individuals who wanted their favorite language colored. On the other hand, it might be possible for people to agree to use keywords in their names so the XML could be parsed and the color settings could be custom set by a big regexp search and replace. 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 TM bundles generally have more colors than that. But if Bundle writers could agree on a reasonable base set and rename their names, that could go a long way towards making the colors customizable before Allan gets his next solution done. Allan may have to set standards like this anyway, unless he writes a small GUI Syntax File browser that displays the Names with a little Color Picker patch. That would be fabulous, of course. - Eric

Re: [TxMt] fugu prob

This is a known problem with Launch Services. Basically, any new application (or new version of) needs to become "trusted" by the OS before other applications can "see" it. To make an application "trusted" you must double click one of its documents, then you'll be presented with an alert from the OS that you "are opening this for the first time" blah blah. From that point, the application is "trusted". As a little advertisement, Yummy FTP works around this problem :-) Hope that helps.

PHP Command Completion bug

Hello, Greame Merrall pointed out to me that the lookup aspect of the phpcc tool (http://ian.ardes.com/phpcc) was not working quite right (thanks Graeme). The problem is that the manual page lookup does not work when the current function has been expanded from a partial word. To fix this change line 19 of phpcc.php to: storeLookupWord($matching[0]); I'm hoping to release a new version of this soon, with some more features, and with an easier installation process.

Java bundle updated with proper package name generator

properties parser?

by Xavier Noria

I would like to automate some customization for some bundles (as colors), is the format in those .plist files standard (for instance Perl.plist)? If it is and you wanted to search for a parser for some programming language which keyword would you use? -- fxn

opening files in TM

by Tim Martens

How do I get all my txt, html, css, php, js, rb, and sql files to open in textmate by default on OSX? It seems some of these extensions have been hijacked and I don't know how to remap them globally. I'm a fairly recent "switcher." -t

This would be the equivalent of a flag on the regexp of searching across newlines. FYI, I had this exact issue and here is the command I wrote to work around it. Basically, I put pdflatex into a nonstop mode and pipe it through a script to erase any newline that isn't part of multiple newlines. Then I figure out the name of the resulting .pdf file and open it in Preview. It works pretty well and it catches in a 'jumpable way' most of the errors and warnings that pdflatex produces. I leave it to others to customize the path to pdflatex... Preview has an annoying habit of not refreshing files when they are re-opened; otherwise this would be a complete replacement for TexShop.

new Java bundle

by Lang Riley

Hi All, I packed up all my java snippets and commands and integrated them with the nice syntax and template stuff that already existed in the Java bundle. Attached you will find a tarred and gziped Java.tmbundle. It adds a truckload of capabilities. Just slap it in one of the appropriate directories that TextMate looks in for bundles and tar xvfz Java.tmbundle.tar.gz, restart TextMate and fly! Allan, I would like to get this shipping with TextMate if you are interested. I think a lot of Java programmers would enjoy this stuff. Lang Riley

Catching Error messages

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, I love the way TextMate allows me to catch errors from the output and make them clickable, so that I can quickly correct them. But I think this process can be improved even more with two requests: - Allow for multi-line captures: (pdf)latex produces quite verbose errormessages that almost always are on two lines. I haven't been able to get TextMate to catch both lines and let me see it back in the overview. - If TextMate could also jump to the place in the output where the error was produced, it would be great, because context is often important in finding the cause of the error and it's very hard to define regexps to grasp all those things. Thanks, Jeroen.

useful java commands

by Lang Riley

Command purpose: Do a reasonably valiant attempt to locate all senders of a particular message/method within the project. Usage: Highlight the method name, excluding the parameter portion of the method signature, and execute this command. It will search across all source in your project and return a clickable list of method invocations. It doesn't work perfectly, but it often works very satisfactorily. Example, you would like to find all the places where public void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) is used, simply highlight handleRequest and execute the command which will bring up a window with links to these occurrences. Command: grep -rn "\.$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding all declarations of a particular method within the project. Usage: Same as above. Command: grep -rn "[ ]$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding a class definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight DispatcherServlet and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command: egrep -rns "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding an interface definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight Dispatcher (assuming it is an interface) and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command: egrep -rns "interface[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Open a window listing all the methods found in a particular class. assuming the class containing the method definitions exists in the project. Usage: Highlight the class name for which you would like to search, then execute the command. This will bring up a window, no links sorry, that lists the method signature for each of the methods local to that class, i.e., non-inherited methods. I find this useful when I quickly want to find what methods are available without having to search for the file or read documentation. cat `egrep -rnsl "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" .` | egrep "public[ ]+\<.*\>[ ]+\<.*\>$.*$[ ]+(throws .*|){" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Enjoy, Lang Riley

useful java snippets to share

by Lang Riley

Below are some useful java snippets and their explanations that I created. I will try to take the time later to add them to the wiki: Snippet result: Create a class in java with auto-generated package name, author, date, class name. Usage: For the autogeneration of the package you should create your class file in its proper location, e.g., org.foo.bar.Batz.java would be created in the directory bar which is a subdirectory of foo and org directories. The autogeneration of package name and classname also assumes that your class package directory structure has as its parent directory a directory named 'src'. You can of course change that in the third call to sed for both the package name and the class name. Trigger: jcl (or whatever you want to trigger it with) Snippet: ${1:package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`}; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${9:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public class ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} ${3:extends} $4 ${5:implements} $6${7:,}$8 { $0 } Snippet result: Create a private scoped variable. Not that useful, but heh, it is here if you want it. Usage: No explanation necessary. Trigger: jpv private ${1:String} $2; $0 Snippet result: Create a public scoped method Usage: No special comments. Pretty straight forward. Trigger: jpum Snippet: /** * $2 * * @param $4 $5 * ${6:@return} $7 */ public ${1:void} $2(${3:String} $4) { $0 } Snippet result: Create an if statement with guard comment Usage: Trigger: jif Snippet: if ($1) { // $2 $0 } Snippet result: Create a privately scoped method. Usage: Trigger: jpm Snippet: /** * $2 * * @param $4 $5 * ${6:@return} $7 */ private ${1:void} $2(${3:String} $4) { $0 } Snippet result: Create a while statement with guard comment Usage: Trigger: jwh Snippet: while ($1) { // $2 $0 } Snippet result: Create a try/catch/finally block Usage: Trigger: jtc Snippet: try { $2 } catch ($1 e) { $3 } finally { $0 } Snippet result: Create a class variable/constant. Usage: Trigger: jps Snippet: private static final ${1:String} $2 = "$0"; Snippet result: Create an if/else statement with guard comments Usage: Trigger: jelse Snippet: if ($1) { // $2 $0 } else { // $3 } Snippet result: Create the package imports and instantiation code for using jakarta commons logging package. Usage: I would suggest executing the snippet in the import area of you class definition and then cut/pasting the instantiation code to the private member variable declaration area. Trigger: jlog Snippet: import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; /** Logger for this class and subclasses */ protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); Snippet result: Create a JUnit TestCase subclass for unit testing. Auto-generates the package name and the proper imports for the class that will be tested. Usage: Assumes JUnit unit test class naming convention is followed whereby if a class named UserDao is being unit tested, the unit test class would be named UserDaoTests.java and would be located in a parallel directory structure analogous to its package name. Also assumes, as is standard convention, that unit test packages have as their parent directory 'test' and the classes which they test have the parent directory of 'src'. For example, UserDao.java would be located, let's say, in src/org/foo/bar/dao/ and its unit test class, UserDaoTests.java, would be in test/org/foo/bar/dao/. Of course, if you don't work that way, you can message the regular expressions to suite your environment. Trigger: jtest Snippet: package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`; import junit.framework.TestCase; import `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//'`; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${4:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public class ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} extends TestCase { private ${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; public ${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} get${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`}() { return this.${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; } public void set${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`}(${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}) { this.${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`} = ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; } public void test$8() { $0 } } Snippet result: Create public getter/setter pair for a private instance variable. This really comes in handy if you do a lot of dependency injection style development, for bean properties. Usage: Trigger: jprops Snippet: public $1 get$2() { return this.$3; } public void set$2($1 $3) { this.$3 = $3; } Snippet result: Create a JSTL output statement for jsp code. Usage: Trigger: jcout Snippet: <c:out value="\${$1}"/>$0 Snippet result: Create an interface definition with autogenerated package name, interface name, author name, and date. Usage: Same as the usage for the java class snippet. Trigger: jid Snippet: ${1:package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`}; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${3:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public interface ${4:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} { $0 } Hope it helps someone, it sure has saved me a ton of typing.

Commands with AppleScript question ???

by Mats Persson

I've been trying to get into the habit of using CVS, so I have created a few TM command scripts that performs the basic CVS shell commands. HOW do I convert the text returned from a Finder display dialog script into a shell variable ???? sort of like this: osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" display dialog \"mxCVS::Commit Message\" default answer theDefaultAnswer buttons {\"Cancel\", \"OK\"} default button 2 set the theMessage to the text returned of the result end tell" $CVSmsg = output from the above AS script I'm having a bug problem with the Applescript execution of "do shell script", as AS can't somehow access $CVSROOT from .bash_profile or even from /etc/profile which really pisses me off. Every other aspect of CVS works OK, but not through AS. Kind regards, Mats

TextMate 1.1b1

by Allan Odgaard

I wanted to have a beta out before the new year, so it's now available :) I'm 'announcing' it since it turns out the automatic version check was broken around 1.0.2b8 or so, in that it doesn't schedule a check before the preferences window has opened. So just open the preferences, and you should be told about it (if beta versions are included in the check). This bug actually lead to interesting statistics, because I can correlate number of downloads with number of version checks (based on IP address) and estimate how many actually open the preferences, which is ~25%. Beta 1 is btw only a minor update, as December wasn't my most productive month. But it does feature mode-dependent lookup for snippets and macros, which I think is rather cool :)

That's true too; it would be great to someday have undo in the textbox. And maybe even commands! :) Maybe instead of my suggestion there could be a little button on the Find/Replace box that says Undo Last Replace? 2. PDF Webkit already gives you PDF viewing for free, if you have Schubert's PDF Plugin (doesn't everyone?) For instance, you can enter in the url of a PDF file in TM's web preview and view PDFs right now.

three small feature requests

by Eric Hsu

A few small requests for this marvelous editor. 1. Allow undo from find/replace dialog. Lots of times I enter in the wrong regular expression and the find/replace goes badly. I want to hit apple-Z and Undo it and fire up another search, but instead I have to switch to the text window. 2. It would be great if the new ( :) ) txmt: resource locator allows us to load things like txmt://a.pdf, which would then get loaded into the web preview window. Reason: I want to hack up a replacement for TeXShop within TM. Already you can make a command to have pdftex create a .pdf output file and open it in Preview. I'd like it to show up in TM! It would feel cleaner that way. 3. Allow syntax files to be reloaded. Then we could edit them within TM and see the results without quitting and restarting. best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Undo should accumulate contiguous input

by David Tolpin

Hi, a common practice is to let Undo undo all characters entered during last stroke (that is, not interrupted by movements or other operations (find/replace/search) at once. That is, If I type a few words, then press Option-Z, I expect all the words to disappear, not one letter at a time. This is the way undo works in most environments, including emacs, vi, TextEdit, AppleWorks, sam, acme, Word ... David

Velocity Template Language Syntax Highlighting

by Jamal Johnson

howdy, i just stumbled upon TextMate while looking for a native development text editor and am _very_ impressed with it's featureset and believe i will be purchasing soon. i am wondering, however, if there is anyone out there who has developed (or _loves_ to develop ;)) a syntax highlighting plist / bundle for the Velocity Template Language (http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/vtl-reference-guide.html)? i am terrible with regular expressions unfortunately, so i'm not having much luck with it. it's basically a dynamic language like php or asp and is mainly used in web (html type) files which can include css, javascript, xml / xsl etc.... the best / closest type i've found to work is the ASP style. it's _very_ close but would like to have certain things highlighted differently and it's missing (obviously since it's a different language) a bunch of declarations. i am desperate for this type of highlighting. if anyone is interested in helping me out, i could send an example file that includes javascript, xml / xsl, css and Velocity markup. any takers?? thanx in advance, jamal

Re: [TxMt] Help with LaTeX-build command

by otheraccount＠verizon.net

Hi, I'm attaching the compile script I use, or actually combination of scripts. The compile script expects to get nothing as input and discards its output, and the 'save active file before running command' thing should be on. The command that runs it is: compile-tm "$TM_FILEPATH" >/dev/null 2>&1 & Two points: - This reports on how things went via Growl---and it doesn't check if you have it installed---so if you don't use it, you might want to go into the 'compile-report' script and change the Growl stuff to something else, like maybe an AppleScript dialog box. (Just redirecting the output of the script to a tooltip won't work without serious additional fiddling.) - This tries to preview using TeXniscope. The typeset script works analogously. I'm also attaching a script that goes to the next TeX error by looking at the output file and piloting TM via AppleScript (which is a bit slow and causes the 'go to line' dialog box to appear briefly), and one that compiles the current selected text (but requires the whole document as input). Hope some of this might be of some use... It's not particularly earth- shattering, but works OK for me.

Help with LaTeX-build command

by Ivar Åsell

Hi! I would like to be able to do this in TM 1. select a .tex-file 2. run a macro that 2.1 selects all text 2.2 runs that text through a "tex-compiler" wich listens to stdin 2.3 pipe the results from the "tex-compiler" to the preview-app (can this too listen to stdin?) which show me a nice pdf And if I like the results I can save the .tex-file otherwise not. The main point here is that I which to see the pdf without having to save my .tex-file. Would someone help me with this? I have an idea on how this is supposed to be done... 1. record a macro (alt-cmd-m) 2. select all text (cmd-a) 3. filter through command (shift-alt-r) 3.1 input: selection 3.2 output: ? discard? 3.3 command: ??? something like "<build pdf> | open -a /Applications/Preview.app" I just read that "open" cannot read from stdin so I guess it has to be some other way around. Please, I'm really lousy at this stuff. Help would be much appreciated! Kindest Regards Ivar

tabs

by Patrick Kelly

I'd like to be able to set my "indentation level" to 4 and leave the tab stops at 8. That is, if I hit my tab key the cursor should move as if my tabs stops are set at 4 (any any spaces required should be added). If there are any actual tab characters in the file, the file should display as if I had selected 8 as my tab size. (Basically this is because I edit files that other people have edited using emacs which "intelligently" uses tabs where it can to fill in sequences of 8 spaces.) I was playing with the notion of expanding all the tabs to spaces so that it will display properly even if I have my tab size set to 4, but I'm afraid this will cause lots of extraneous differences when I check in my changes to CVS. Another item is that when I'm working in Tcl I want my indentation level to be 4 characters. When working in PL/SQL I want it at 8. (Probably in C or C++ I'd want 2 or 3.)

Features for the upcoming command-line tool

by Chris Thomas

Some features of the "bbedit" command line tool are discussed in this review of BBEdit 8.0: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/12/21/bbedit.html?CMP=ILC- macrss&ATT=BBEdit+8.0++A+Developers+Viewpoint For my taste, the notable bits are: (1) The '--clean' option for suppressing the 'Do you want to save changes?' dialog. (2) The tool is installed from a button in the preferences. Just some food for thought/discussion for the eventual TextMate command-line tool.

Christmas greetings, and Thanks to Allan

by Drew McLellan

With the holidays fast approaching and people drifting away from their desks to do far more entertaining things than write code all day, I though this was an appropriate time to: a) wish everyone a very happy Christmas time, if they celebrate the festival or not ;) b) offer my thanks again to Allan for providing us with such a great product. I spend all day, every day working with TextMate and it's the first time I've actually felt 'at home' coding on the Mac since switching last January. That's all really :) drew.

multiple folding Markers?

by Phil Lawrence

I'd like to make a bundle with PL/SQL syntax (didn't look like anyone did that yet), but I don't see how to specify pairs of folding markers. Here's an example of what's wrong: PropertyList-Old.plist has these lines: foldingStartMarker = "(\\{|\$)"; foldingStopMarker = "(\\}|\$)"; But what causes folds on bad blocks like this: { # curly brace ) # parenthesis I'd like to do blocks like these: IS -> END; IF -> END IF; ( -> ) etc. Possible? I see "pairs" of other things are being handled (e.g.highlightPairs), perhaps we could do this too! prl

Tab History Revisited

by Wayne Larsen

A while back I posted about the possibility of having a history list for tabs so that you could use a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch to the last file you were editing. The resolution proposed was to use drag sorting to locate the files next to each other, and then use tab navigation to switch back and forth. With only 3 or 4 visible tabs and many files open, most of my open files are pushed off the tab bar. Can you drag sort items if they are not currently visible as a tab? I still think my history list idea has merit. Maybe everyone else is far more organized, but I've basically devolved to using the mouse and the project drawer to switch files -- unless I know I am going to be editing two files side by side for a while, in which case I will close one -- switch to the other, then open the first one again so that I know they are side by side. I realized that this style of working is essentially what I would like out of the History List that I proposed. In other words, if you completely ignore the tab bar as a traditional tab bar, it would function exactly like the history list if -- when switching to a file from the project drawer, the file acts as if it was not open, and appears as a tab to the right of the currently open tab. I fear I did not explain that well, but the idea is simple. When selecting a file for edit, first close the file, then open it (or behave as if this was done). If the file is selected from the tab bar, then leave the behavior as it is. With this behavior, the tab bar would become a history list, and it would be simple to swap between files using the already existing tab navigation shortcuts. Is anyone else overwhelmed by the tab navigation as it stands? This metaphor works great for something like browsing -- because I can open up a new window if I have too many tabs already open in the current window. I hate to keep bringing up emacs-isms, but the switch buffer commands are very powerful (switch to last buffer, or switch to buffer by using filename completion). Combine the project drawer with some sort of history navigation, and I would be very happy. Thanks, Wayne

update: Universal Un/Comment

by Eric Hsu

hi folks, I am startled but gratified at the response to the Un/Comment hack. I added a number of fixes and options people have been asking for and packaged it up into a .tmbundle so you don't have to copy in the hideous Perl 1-liner (but you can... attached below). In the bundle, I also included the source code, which is released as Niceware. That's like the Perl Artistic License, except that you have to be nice to me when you criticize the code. The bundle lives at <http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate>. Changes - I added some options. To invoke them, put them on the command line, e.g. perl -e '...' "$TM_FILEPATH" first-column comment .tex - so if you want separate comment/uncomment, make two commands with one option 'comment' and the other 'uncomment' - I added a bunch of filetype endings, including the ones in Chris T's beautiful Ruby script. - fixed Ollivier Robert's newline bug - Drew McLellan: I added CSS, but sadly, I can only comment each line, not the whole thing. I hope that is still useable. Options # 'first-column' puts the first comment marker at the line start # 'comment' always comments (for people who want the smartness, but not the toggleness) # 'uncomment' always uncomments. If you foolishly use both comment and this, comment wins. # 'comment-whitespace' comments whitespace which we normally skip. # '.tex' will force the use of TeX style comments. You can substitute your favorite ending, like '.java' or '.pl'. The leading dot is important. Last type listed wins. # 'toggle' changes the comment status line by line. Normally, the whole thing is a block. best wishes, Eric --- If you install the thing as a tmbundle, you can also install it as a command as Before: do nothing Command: ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/UnComment.tmbundle/comment-toggle.pl "$TM_FILEPATH" STDIN: Selected STDOUT: Replace Selected To install it as a command as a one-liner, with no path issues: Before: do nothing Command: perl -e '$markers={"pl,pm,rb"=>["#",""],"plist,c,css,m+h,cp,cpp,h,p,pas,js,htc,c++,h++"=>["/*","*/","//",""],"java,cc,mm"=>["//","","/*","*/"],"html,htm,xml"=>[""],"bib,ltx,tex,ps,eps"=>["%",""],"php"=>["#","","/*","*/","","//",""],"mli,ml,mll,mly"=>["(*","*)"],"script,adb,ads,sql,ddl,dml"=>["--",""],"f,f77"=>["C ",""],"inf,f90"=>["!",""],};$tab=4;while(($k,$v)=each(%$markers)){foreach(split(/\s*,\s*/,$k)){$c{"$_"}=$v;}}$_=shift@ARGV;($type)=/\.([^.]*)$/;foreach$option(@ARGV){if($option=~/^\.(.*)$/){$type=$1;}$opt->{$option}++;}unless($c{"$type"}){$type="pl";}($start,$finish,@etc)=@{$c{$type}};$isntfirst=0;while(<STDIN>){push@in,$_;($indent)=/^([ \t]*)/;$indentl=0;foreach$j(1..(length($indent))){$ch=substr($indent,$j-1,1);if($ch eq" "){$indentl++;}else{unless($indentl%$tab){$indentl+=$tab;}else{$indentl+=$indentl%$tab;}}}unless($isntfirst){$indentmin=$indent;$indentminl=$indentl;$isntfirst++;}else{if($indentl<$indentminl||$indent eq""){$indentmin=$indent;$indentminl=$indentl;}}}$isntfirst=0;foreach(@in){$lineend="";if($opt->{"toggle"}){$iscomment=$isfirstofpair=$isntfirst=0;}if(chomp){$lineend="\n";}unless(/\S/){unless($opt->{"comment-whitespace"}){$out.=$_."\n";next;}}unless($isntfirst){$isntfirst=1;foreach$delimiter(@{$c{"$type"}}){$isfirstofpair=1-$isfirstofpair;$delimiterq=quotemeta($delimiter);if($isfirstofpair){if(/^\s*$delimiterq/){$iscomment=1;$start=$delimiter;$startq=$delimiterq;}}elsif($iscomment){$finish=$delimiter;$finishq=$delimiterq;last;}}}if($opt->{"uncomment"}){$iscomment=1;}if($opt->{"comment"}){$iscomment=0;}if($iscomment){s/^(\s*)$startq(\ )?/$1/;s/(\ )?$finishq(\s*)$/$1/;$out.=$_.$lineend;}else{if($opt->{"first-column"}){$out.=$start;unless($indentmin){$out.=" ";}$out.="$_";if($finish){$out.=" ".$finish;}$out.=$lineend;}else{s/^$indentmin//;$out.=$indentmin.$start." $_";if($finish){$out.=" ".$finish;}$out.=$lineend;}}}print$out;' "$TM_FILEPATH" STDIN: Selected STDOUT: Replace Selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Ruby (Un)Comment command

by William D. Neumann

I'm trying to get the ruby version of the (Un)comment command running on my box, and I'm getting the following error: /Users/wneuman/Library/Dev/TextMate/comment.rb:1: undefined method `extname' for File:Class (NameError) You say that the script requires Ruby 1.8, and I should be fine there as I've got 1.8.1 installed... Of course, the amount of Ruby I know would fit handily in my back pocket -- even if I had stuffed my back pocket full of marbles. handkercheifs, and gum wrappers beforehand, so I might just be doing something stupid here. Any ideas on how to fix this? William D. Neumann --- "There's just so many extra children, we could just feed the children to these tigers. We don't need them, we're not doing anything with them.

Selecting newline characters

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, Here's another feature request: Could you make selecting newline characters a bit easier? At the moment it is virtually impossible drag-select some text and the newline character of a line that is followed by a non-empty line. For an example of how it could be done better is TextEdit. If you select a text there and drag a distance past the newline character, the newline character is also included. Thanks, Jeroen.

new command: Universal Un/Comment (BBEdit-ish)

by Eric Hsu

Hi folks, I missed a command from BBEdit that let you comment and uncomment text magically for different languages with the same keystroke (Text->Un/Comment), so I wrote a version for TextMate. If there is enough interest, I will release commented source code and make it into a nice .tmbundle. It currently only supports perl, php, html, plist and tex. It is trivial to add support for other languages, which I'll do on request (or you can easily figure out yourself, I think... if you do, send me an e-mail so I can update mine!). If the selection's first line is a comment; if so, it uncomments the rest of the selection. If not, it comments the whole selection, line by line. It tries to keep the selection's indentation. It parses the filetype from the filename ending to figure out what are comments. If a language has more than one kind of delimiter pair, it will use the first pair in the list for commenting, and will search for all listed pairs for uncommenting. Notice this last feature improves on BBEdit's Text->Un/Comment functionality. The delimiters are stored in $a in the format "a,b,c"=>[$first, $last], where each of the file endings .a, .b and .c will use that delimiter pair. Roll your own! This version is actually better than BBEdit's, in my opinion, because 1. it can uncomment many different comment formats for silly languages like PHP that support several; and 2. it places comment delimiters at the original level of indent (and not the first column like BB does); and 3. we can all customize it. Textmate is powerful! best wishes, Eric -- To install it as a command: Before: do nothing Command: perl -e '$a={"pl,pm"=>["#",""],"plist,c"=>["/*","*/"],"html,htm"=>[""],"tex,ltx"=>["%",""],"php"=>["#","","/*","*/","","//",""]};while(($k,$v)=each(%$a)){foreach(split(/\s*,\s*/,$k)){$c{"$_"}=$v;}}$_=shift@ARGV;($t)=/\.(.*?)$/;($s,$f,@etc)=@{$c{$t}};$b=0;while(<STDIN>){push@in,$_;($in)=/^([ \t]*)/;$inl=0;foreach$j(1..(length($in))){$ch=substr($in,$j-1,1);if($ch eq" "){$inl++;}else{unless($inl%4){$inl+=4;}else{$inl+=$inl%4;}}}unless($i){$ind=$in;$indl=$inl;$i++;}else{if($inl<$indl||$in eq""){$ind=$in;$indl=$inl;}}}$i=0;foreach(@in){if(chomp){$n="\n";}unless(/\S/){$o.=$_."\n";next;}unless($b){$b=1;foreach$d(@{$c{$t}}){$i=1-$i;$d=quotemeta($d);if($i){if(/^\s*$d/){$y=1;$s=$d;}}elsif($y){$f=$d;last;}}}if($y){s/^(\s*)$s(\ )?/$1/;s/(\ )?$f(\s*)$/$1/;$o.=$_.$n;}else{s/^$ind//;$o.=$ind.$s." $_ ".$f.$n;}}print$o;' $TM_FILEPATH STDIN: Selected STDOUT: Replace Selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Yummy FTP

by Eric Curtis

After reading peoples comments about ftp programs last week I tried yummy ftp and I am very close to buying it. I love that I can select a remote file and hit cmd-B to open it in textmate. Is this the killer feature people where asking for? Does anyone else have reviews for this product? Later, Eric PS. I liked it so much I remapped my open in text editor in PathFinder to cmd-B as well so most of the time I am ready for a quick edit.

for perl development

by Noah M.Daniels

Textmate is looking awesome (I just tried it Friday for the first time) and though I own a copy of BBEdit, I think I may switch. But there are a couple of things still missing, IMHO. First, the Perl syntax bundle doesn't handle POD (=begin, =cut, etc.) yet. I very quickly hacked in support for simply =begin and =cut as block comments, but it would be ideal if it could do as good a job as BBEdit's syntax coloring for Perl/POD. Second, I do miss BBEdit's integration of certain things in its script menu - 'find in reference' (really just shelling out of perldoc -f) and 'view POD' (just shelling out of perldoc), as well as the ability to execute in the debugger. It would be nice to be able to, within a project, execute things like 'perl -d <filename>' and such - or for a C/C++ program, run it in gdb. I realize this can be done in Textmate using the Automation->Commands menu, so perhaps what I'm saying is that a few more built-ins would be nice :) Finally, for the syntax bundles, the non-uniformity of color schemes between bundles (I routinely work in projects involving Perl and C code) could stand to be improved - ideally, a way to graphically change the colors for the syntax bundles would be nice, too, rather than editing the bundles. For example, rather than specifying the RGB values in each syntax plist, have an indirect color code - for example, "keyword" or "comment" - and then in TextMate have a preference that allows you to specify colors for all of those, globally. Anyways, TextMate is looking great. Keep up the good work! -- "Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with the software" -DefCon 10 Noah M. Daniels ndaniels(a)mac.com

About Line Wrapping

by Éric Jacoboni

Hi, Following advice of some people, i'm giving TextMate a try. There is a feature i don't find in TextMate: hard wrapping. I'm editing big XML files and i've not figured how to automatically cut the lines when they reach the right column. I know about Soft Wrap, but i don't want to use it as the document will be sent to people who are using different text editors: i don't want they see a paragraph as a single long long line. In fact, i'm a Emacs user and i need something like 'auto-fill-mode' : when the line reaches the right margin, Emacs insert a newline. To achieve the same thing with TextMate, the only way i've found so far is to reformat the paragraph or the selection, which is not very productive. Is there something to automate this process or should i live with it? Best regards, -- Jaco

File differencing

by Chris Jenkins

I imagine that this might have been covered before, so forgive me if so, but is there any plans to build a file differencing tool into TextMate? I'm talking about something akin to the interface that BBEdit provides, or Xcode for that matter. I find that's the only reason I pop back to BBEdit now, the ability to step through the differences line by line and copy the changes between the files is very useful.

editing textareas?

by Patrick Kelly

Here's an item that bugs me a lot, and there is probably not any solution, but just maybe... Often I'm editing text in a textarea on a web page, and I'd like to edit it in my Favorite Real Editor. Of course I can select all, copy, go to editor, open new, paste, edit, select all, copy, find browser window, select all in the textarea, paste. Is there a way to make this easier? Like hit a key and the editor opens a window with the text. When I close (and save) the results are returned to my browser window, and so am I. I suppose there might be some hack where I could select text, hit a keystroke (or something) and have the select text appear in the editor, then if the default were to select all+copy when closing the window, ... Anyway, some better solution to this problem would be really great. A specialized hack might be to have the txmt: protocol thing integrated so that the editor could fetch text via HTTP and know where to POST the text upon completion of the edit. This may be a complete waste of development effort since webdav is the right and proper solution here. (By the way, I haven't used webdav to any extent really.) This whole thought-stream was launched when I started looking at wikis again. I love the ease-of-use of wikis, EXCEPT for editing in HTML textarea blocks.

Line number bug

by Jan Sabbe

The line numbers in the gutter don't always update correctly. TextMate version: 1.0.2 (v1.0.2b10) Steps to replicate: Type in a few long lines, that get soft wrapped over multiple lines. Go to the beginning of the third "soft" line, and press enter. Go to the beginning of the second "soft" line, and press enter. Expected result: line numbers get recalculated, so that the third line gets number 3 Real result:

Two Issues

by Kjell Olsen

Here are two things I find obtrusive in TextMate, one of which is probably just me not finding the right function. 1. I would like to see TextMate windows not going off the screen when they are opened, or under the dock. I use a pretty small screen (compared to lots of you) at 1024x768, and I like my windows to be full size (and not go under the dock). Maximizing a TM window sizes it perfectly - but then opening a new window offsets both downward and to the right, resulting in a partially obscured window and a petty bug. 2. Is there a way to insert a template from a bundle somewhere into an empty file or into a file create outside of a project? A menu item to let me insert the xhtml strict template would save me a lot of time, and seems like something that TM should have. Anyone have any input on either of these little bothers? Am I just completely missing something? Thanks! Kjell

TM seems to agressively cache directory listings

by Patrick Burleson

I've been using TM since it came out and I should have reported this earlier. It seems that TM is overly agressive with regards to caching a directory listing int he "Open" dialog box. I have files that get generated ( or that I create externally) that I want to edit in TM, but if I've already been in that directory in the current TM session, then I won't see the new files. I haven't figured out how to get TM to refresh this list. Any ideas? Or is this a bug/feature? Thanks, Patrick

[ANN] Ada, Fortran, Pascal syntaxes

by Chris Thomas

These tmbundles are intended to cover the languages as roughly defined by Ada 95, Fortran 77, Fortran 95, and GNU Pascal. I'm not an expert at any of these languages, but I believe the folding for Ada and Pascal is useful. As for Fortran folding, I didn't even try. I'm happy to add folding support if someone will tell me where best to start and end the folds. (Or, of course, you're welcome to modify the tmbundle and upload it yourself :). http://www.cjack.com/tm/Ada.tmbundle.zip http://www.cjack.com/tm/Fortran.tmbundle.zip http://www.cjack.com/tm/Pascal.tmbundle.zip The wiki has been updated accordingly.

New Wiki

by Allan Odgaard

After reading about various wiki's (and trying a few) I ended up choosing PmWiki as suggested by Fred. The new Wiki URL is: http://macromates.com/wiki/pmwiki It has a link to a static HTML version of the old wiki before the accident including all the textile pages. The textile pages are up-to-date, but the HTML export was done the 12th December, so edits after the 12th of December are not in the HTML version. I haven't imported the textile pages into PmWiki, since they'd have to be converted, and I'm not sure how easy I can automate this process. So I'm thinking that maybe I should just leave the static pages and import them manually over time (as they are needed), which also allow for some restructuring of the wiki, which I think was probably overdue (break down most of the big pages and create a better structure). I'm really terrible sorry about this, and I hope that it's not viewed as lack of appreciation for the many contributors -- I really do appreciate the work that has been put into the wiki! With this new wiki it also means that I can and will take an active role maintaining the software side of things (which I previously thought I'd outsourced, but let's not point any fingers here... ;) ). Kind regards Allan

Three requests

by profprof＠mac.com

I have two requests that I would REALLY like to see coming soon in textmate: (1) the most important !!! (and I am probably not alone in that): bring back the proper behaviour for CTRL-Y (yank). Coming Emacs and using this command in all the Apple programs, I always find myself trying it in textmate, to no avail. CTRL-Y should cut lines, one after the other, and put them in a buffer. I would recommend that it uses the soft and hard-wrap lines the same way, in a transparent manner. I have adopted textmates last October as my sole text editor, but I miss sorely CTRL-Y (2) Indented reformatting. It would be most useful if the formatting of paragraphs following the indentation of first line. This way, we can format text in a latex file, for example, with the proper visual look. So, if there is 3 spaces before the first character in the first line of the paragraph, the whole paragraph should be formatted with 3 white spaces in front. (3) Intelligent-tab in programming-language modes This is also a feature that I love from emacs and that I miss here. While in a programming mode, hitting TAB anywhere on the line shifts the whole line by a tab (SHIFT-TAB does the same in reverse). This makes it very easy when programming to add loops, etc. I look forward to having those included in textmate. An otherwise very nice editor. Greetings, Normand Mousseau

1.0.2 lost increaseIndentPattern ?

by kumar mcmillan

Hi. I'm not sure if there is some minor adjustment I can make to fix this .... but after installing 1.0.2 my PHP auto-indenting did not work anymore. Here is the pattern from the PHP.plist file that was working fine in <= 1.0.1 : increaseIndentPattern = "^.*(\\{[^}\"']*|\\([^)\"']*)$"; any suggestions? I know the bundle is active because my custom syntax highlighting works. kumar

Feature Req: Column typing

by Duarte Carrilho da Graça

I love column typing, but i dont use it as much as i want because I rarely have things formated in a way that'll allow using it. I think it'd be great to be able to just alt-click a bunch of places to enable column typing (no need to be the same char. num in each line), and do the column typing in the places you clicked (of course then it wouldnt really be *column* typing, but i think it's a very intuitive enhancement...)

TextMate protocol

by Eric Ocean

Awhile back I seem to remember Allen suggesting he could create a TextMate protocol (e.g. txmt://path/to/my/file). I've come to the conclusion that if this was available, I would use it a lot. Here's one example: I use Markdown syntax for most of my writing nowadays, but once I've written something, I want to view it looking nice in a web browser. Invariably, I need to edit the file later. I have three options: I could put up a text area and edit it in the web browser. I could launch my ftp program and Edit Externally... the file. Or I could automatically launch TextMate, my editor of choice, with a simple txmt:// link on the web page. Best, Eric

Trouble with "open all" .txt files with TextMate

by Simon Dorfman

Hello, I'm trying to open all .txt files with TextMate. In the finder, I select a .txt file, hit Control+i to get info. Then I select TextMate as the app to open it with, then I click "Change All". After clicking "Change All" TextMate disappears as the "Open With" app and is replaced by the text: "Not applicable". If I close the info box and double click on the .txt file, I get this error: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660)." If TextMate is already open, a double click on the file in the Finder opens fine. But if TextMate is closed, it shows this error. Does anyone know how to fix this? I think it may have been caused by renaming the beta versions of TextMate to names like "TextMate1.01b3". Maybe the Finder got confused about which app was THE TextMate to open with. I now only have the newest 1.02 version in the Apps folder. Any help much appreciated. Thanks. Simon

double click selection

by Patrick Kelly

I'm a newbie textmate user, and unfamiliar so forgive me if this has been covered before. When double-clicking on whitespace to select and then moving the mouse to text (to select by word) it's very annoying to me that the word at the other end of the whitespace is selected. I've seen this behavior in M$ products and it drives me nuts. Am I the only one? To me it's obvious that if I double click something and then move left that it's wrong for something rightwards to become selected. I'm sure I'll learn to cope, but I thought I'd ask about it. I'm still getting used to it, but I think I like TextMate. :) I installed the SQL bundle, but it didn't do it for me. At some point I'll have to go make a syntax file that supports Oracle PL/SQL (since that's what I edit mostly these days). cheers Patrick

linking to URIs and client-side (project) files

by Timothy Martens

Hi, I'm using TextMate for my Getting Things Done (GTD) stuff. Is anyone else out there doing the same? I'm just getting started and would love to see how others are using TM for GTD. How do you set up your file structure? How do you name and keep track of your files, actions, and projects, etc.? I can see how it would be useful to be able to do such things as link from a URI in a text (markdown) file directly to a browser. As well as things like creating links to other local (project) files ala voodoo pad, and moving chunks of text to other files whilst sprinkling them with some meta data. Then they are things like aggregating lists to create contextual lists and so much more I can imagine but not conceive of programatically. I just found this: http://www.rousette.org.uk/blog/archives/2004/11/28/rails-gtd- application/ and I know bsag has other discussions about TM GTD in her blog. As well as Daniel Von Fange's neat little tricks: http://www.braino.org/blog/archives/001512.php http://www.braino.org/blog/archives/001440.php Admittedly I haven't played much with these, but I do remember having some problems with TM finding my Ruby install. -t

Mailing list rules

by Allan Odgaard

I'm resending this letter from the 3th of November just as a friendly reminder and for all those who have joined the list since the previously mentioned date. ----------->8----------- There is really only one rule (apart from normal netiquette) I want you to uphold: When you write a _new_ letter to this mailing list, _don't_ use “reply” on an existing letter (to get the To: filled in). It screws up threading!!! If you're using Mail.app, you can control-click the “To” of an existing letter and select “New Message” to get a compose window with the “To” header filled in. Threading is a very useful feature, and especially for me with this mailing list, since it's basically an archive of user feedback, and I'd like for the table-of-contents to show _every_ thread, which it currently doesn't, when one thread contain 2-3 _different_ subjects, because people have used reply (then it only show the first subject). So PLEASE remember _not_ to use reply (for new letters)!!!

Re: Bug report: Perl syntax highlighting [version 1.0.2b10#553]

by Eric Hsu

Thanks to Xavier Noria for his bug list for the Perl bundle. I have fixed some of them in a new version (see the wiki, or my page http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate for the archive and details. Here are the fixes: adjusted $foo{bar} so the first brace isn't highlighted q qq qw qx quoting recognized POD recognized (from =head1 to =cut) __END__ __DATA__, __FOO__ all recognized added Perl to One-liner command Known problems: many autoquotes not highlighted right: here-docs not quoted, hashkeys in => notation. I invite anyone else to take a crack to getting the autoquotes right, in the cases that Xavier noted. (I am travelling for the next three weeks!) The problem with doing here-docs right is that the start and end delimiters change with each case, so we'd have to use backreferencing in the 'end' parameter, and I don't think that's currently possible. - Eric ps.

b10 Thanks

Allan, > Added a dock menu with New, New Project, and Open…. Thanks so much for adding this! Certainly one of the features I personally missed from SubEthaEdit. With that said, I wonder if it might make sense to make the menu more consistent with SEE? For instance, SEE has "New File" instead of "New". They also use "Open file..." instead of "Open.." IMHO, I think that SEE's wording/ellipses choices look better, but that may be familiarity talking. > The Text -> Change sub menu now also appears in the context menu (when > there is a selection). Also, suggestions for spellings no longer > appear if the selection contain newlines or tabs (previously it only > looked at spaces). This is also a welcome change. However, I think that instead of "Change", which is ambiguous, you should use "Convert" or "Format" as in the attached Service menus. Thoughts? Chris -- Do the evolution.

FYI: beta 11 = 1.0.2

by Allan Odgaard

I just built beta 11. If there are no problems this will be released later today as 1.0.2 which should be the last in the 1.0.x series, meaning that I'll shift priorities a bit and focus on larger improvements for the 1.1 release. Basically it just means that having the 1.0.2 out as “official” with most obvious fixes done, I'll be more comfortable rewriting major parts of TextMate even if it means the source will be in a non-functional state for a couple of days -- but I'll still release betas as often as it makes sense, and I'm aware of the requests expressed on this list.

warning for command key-equivalent conflicts?

by kumar mcmillan

was wondering if TextMate could throw a warning if the key-equivalent you're assigning to a command will wipe out a pre-existing key-equivalent. From what I've observed, if you add a key-equivalent [that already exists] to a command then the command works --as expected-- in that key-equivalent, silently overriding what was there before. Hopefully not something too difficult? I guess that would be helpful for macros too. Kumar

Insert closing tab shortcut

I woundered if it was possible to change the shortcut for "Insert closing tab". cmd-opt-. isn't working on my keyboard layout. As I understant it, opt-'.' is '>' so cmd-opt-'.' is understood as cmd-'>' I get this problem all over the system. Anyway, how about just cmd-'.' ? I know it's a reserved shortcut for cancel but in a sense, it 'stop' a block. And there is no use for a cancel in text editing. And beside, cmd and '.' and very close toghetter while opt is all the other way of the space bar on small keyboards ( original g4 and I think powerbook/ibook too )

How about a "replay last used macro"?

by Chris Brierley

I love the scratch macro and the ability to replay it with a keyboard shortcut. How about a "replay last used macro"? E.g., let's say I have a saved macro that I don't want to assign a keyboard shortcut to, but which I do want to use over and over again for a stretch in a document. Right now I've got to pick it out from the menu each time. If we had a "replay last used macro" I could just hit that keyboard shortcut repeatedly. It could probably even replace "replay scratch macro" and still have the same effect when the last used macro happened to be scratch. Thoughts?

Bug report: Perl syntax highlighting [version 1.0.2b10#553]

by Xavier Noria

A few issues in the syntax highlighting done by Perl's bundle. The first one I think it's typically hard to get right: here-docs are not recognised. This not only means that they are not colourised as strings, but that their content can fool the rest of the highlighting, for instance if there's an unbalanced quote. (Sometimes a fake comment can help there though.) POD sections are not recognised either, so not only they are not coloured but Perl keywords are highlighted in regular English (for, if, while, ...). On the other side, hash elements are no correctly highlighted. In $foo{bar} = "baz"; the red for variables goes beyond the "{" and stops at the "r": $foo{bar If "bar" is quoted the highlighting is correct though, curlies in black and the string in green. In the broken example I'd expect the curlies in black, and the key in green because it's autoquoted by Perl. Green to the left of =>s would be good as well, as words there are also autoquoted. Both conventions for autoquoted stuff are followed by CPerl and the Perl mode for Vim. q(), qq(), and their variants are not highlighted as strings either. -- fxn

Hi, I would like to highlight the syntax as shown in the attached picture. However, this matches the wrong brackets. Anyone any idea how I could go about to better highlight this? I guess it boils down to a not powerful enough syntax highlighting scheme though :(. The thing I want to do is something like: - match commands (begin with '\' followed by a word - this can be followed by [\w+] - and this can be followed by {.*} And what I would like to do is apply the global patterns to the '.*' mentioned above, and if nothing global matches, then apply a color. Jeroen. PS. I seem to remember something about using groups to define different colors in a pattern, but I forgot how that works. Can anyone tell me how that works and/or add that to the wiki ? :)

'Burl' in ODB events?

b10 remembers Finds! :)

by Paul Nordstrom August

brilliant! > Added history for find and replace strings. Currently it doesn't store > options in the history (like regular expression or case sensitive) That helps a lot... Can we save certain ones (esp grep searches) and give them a name somehow (someday!)? On reading the change notes in b10 I discovered the context menus for selected text -- never used them previously but I love them. Amazing progress as usual. Thanks Allan. p.

re: 1.02b9 wont launch

by Chris Jenkins

sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand, are you saying that it does work for you, or it doesn't? I've installed all the latest updates now, but there is no change, it still doesn't launch, just appears in the dock briefly for a split second and then vanishes again. I don't get a crash message either. I'm running 10.3.6 on a G4 dual 1.4Ghz. weird. Chris Begin forwarded message: > idem for me (Mac OS 10.3.6, last security updates done)

Open .pdf partner of pdflatex file + results window question

by David Wooten

Greetings folks, recent $'er for this great editor. Longtime vi user, but always wishing for a highly configurable editor that was more os x-integrated. Couple questions/suggestions: Any way to make a Command which can work with the $TM_FILEPATH variable -- except with a .pdf extension? This is good really only for opening the .pdf file in e.g. TeXniscope for the first time. …or another method? Also -- after running a little pdflatex Command on a file, I'm finding that there's no really optimal output method. I'm often working on a 12", so a full window devoted to the results (which I generally only need to see if there's an error) is a little bulky, especially as the focus moves to the said new window. The tooltip output looks promising (it disappears at the touch of a key), but it seems to appear with the top left corner at the cursor -- which often leaves the bulk of the window off the screen. Thanks, thanks, thanks for TextMate! David

I do like the indented paste feature but find that it's one of the features that I'm constantly turning on and off, depending on what I'm working on.

Re: [TxMt] HTML Tidy

by Eric Hsu

>Has this been brought up as a feature request? skEdit's (i'm using it >while I wait for my Paypal deposit) tidy functionality is very well >thought out. I'd like to see something similar in TM. Here is my current kludge to get two HTML Tidy commands: one replaces a window with its Tidy-ed version, and another just produces a window with clickable error output. Note that (bug? feature?) if HTML Tidy thinks there are errors in your document and you do a 'replace' then it will place the errors at the top of the document. You can fiddle with the Tidy flags to avoid that. Also note that my version only runs on the last saved version and not the current one. That can also be tweaked... Anyway, get HTML Tidy from http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ then install it someplace convenient. I put the command-line version at ~/bin/tidy Report Errors Command: Before: nothing Command: ~/bin/tidy -e "$TM_FILEPATH" Stdin: None Stout: Sep window Pattern: line (\d+) column (\d+) - (.*?)$ Format: $3 Line: 1 Replace Document with Tidy-ed Version Command: Before: nothing Command: ~/bin/tidy -bicq "$TM_FILEPATH" Stdin: None Stout: Replace doc Pattern: Format: Line: Works great for me! - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

feature request: timeout on highlighting

by Brian Lalor

I just opened a 1.5M XML document in TM. My XML syntax isn't all that lean, and it takes a while for TM to highlight everything and become responsive. Currently, I do not know of any way to open a file without syntax highlighting. That'd be one nice thing to have... The other would be for TM to pop up a little dialog if highlighting hasn't completed after, say, 10 seconds and give the option to abort the open, continue highlighting (until done), or open without highlighting. -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

Some Feature Requests

by Torsten Becker

hi, at first i must say that textmate definitely rocks, it is really THE missing editor i was searching for. and its a not unimportant reason why i bought my ibook. but this doesn't mean its already perfect i still like to see some features or at least small changes. :) for example: - parenthesis highlights (or smart typing highlights) like in komodo. i have been using activestate komodo quite a long time but because it was a bit to big and slow and not extensible enough i don't use it anymore, but one thing was really cool: the parenthesis highlighting. in textmate you have to roll over the parenthesis with the caret to get it highlighted, in komodo you just have to be near it and it gets highlighted (normally it gets red and bold), i like this more than always have to move with the caret forward and backward, its especially more comfortable in heavy nested statements or lisp :). so i would it like to see implemented this way in textmate. - simple formating in tool tips, probably like in html so that one can make bold, underlined and italic text, this would be very nice because bigger tool tips would be better readable. - better placement of tool tips. if you have a really big tool tip (or just a normal big one) and your caret is a bit to near to the right of the screen, the tool tip is shown out of the desktop, i found this a bit useless sometimes and i want to suggest to place tool tips a bit more user friendly. thats it, i also would like to see some other features like the right-click-menu in the dock and a user adjustable color-system, but this already have been mentioned and i don't want to repeat them again and again. thanks for this great tool. -- Torsten Becker

Features req: a webkit output window

by Dominique Peretti

I wish I could format the output of TM's commands in html, and make html links able to launch other TextMate commands ! Thus one could display error reports, stats, links and stuff very nicely !! I would also like to be able to use a TextMate webkit window that would be called from somewhere else. In order to debug my php scripts, I currently have a script watch php's log using kernel notifications (kqueue) and trigger a cocoa window alert on each error. I wish this window could be an interactive one, in Textmate. Thus I could jump directly to the error by clicking a link, etc... Possibilities would be unlimited !

event commands

by Jan Sabbe

I would like to be able to automatically run a script, when a certain event happens (such as, a file save), depending on the file-extension (and maybe also depending on the project). For example, what I really like to do: If I save a file that ends in .rb, I want to automatically run a command that does a "ruby $TM_PROJECT_DIR/test/unittests.rb". If it fails, it could send me a notification through growl (http://growl.info)

best way to have a comment/uncomment selected text?

by Douglas F.Calvert

Hello, I am really starting to love textmate. I want to add functionality that will either comment or uncomment the selected text. Right now i have two commands; one that prepends '# ' to the line and one that strips the first '# ' on the line. I would really like to have this handily accessible under one command and have it automagically decide wether or not I want to comment or uncomment the line. I am sure that others have added this sort of functionality. Anyone have a graceful solution? While I am here does anyone have any handy python editing commands/macros? --dfc Douglas F.

Would it be possible to distribute the TM bundles separately (maybe the way Konfabulator does, updating the "official" ones when a new release comes out)?

FeatureRequest: Simpler way of changing FileEncodings (and converting line endings)

by Ivar Åsell

Hi I'd like to see something like SEE:s way of letting you switch between different "File Encodings". I think it's the best way of switching encodings so far! I might have missed something but right now all I know of is the "Re-Open With Encoding:" menu which I rarely use. Mostly because I don't need to change file encoding that often but secondly because it forces me to save my file to be able to switch encoding. kind regards ivar ps. I really(!!) like b8 and the cleanup of menus!

Re: [TxMt] Method/function list?

by Eric Hsu

>I am hoping I¼m just missing something obvious... Is there some kind of >list of functions/methods? I.e. Similar to BBEdit or SEE¼s popup function >list? Here's my kludged version of it for Perl using TM commands, which pops up a separate window listing all the subroutines (i.e. lines that begin with 'sub '). Make a command: - before: Do Nothing - Command: grep -n "^sub " - Std In: Entire document - Std out: Show in separate win - Pattern: ^(\d+):(.*)$ [this parses out the grep output so we can identify the line part] - Format: $2 - Line:1 This idea can be tweaked to fit the language of your choice. I think you can pipe it cleverly through sort to get the subroutines alphabetized. good luck, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

i-search keybindings

by Allan Odgaard

Sorry I forgot to mention that i-search requires two new key binding entries which you'll need to manually add if you made a local copy: "^s" = "ISIM_incrementalSearch:"; "^S" = "ISIM_reverseIncrementalSearch:"; I named my methods the same as the ISearch InputManager/Plugin. So if you already have this installed, the key bindings from your "global" key bindings file should already make it work, _except_ that ISIM use control-r for the reverse search, TextMate is using that for 'execute line', which is why I choose control-S. Maybe this is why reverse search doesn't work for you Wayne? Regarding aborting the search with movement keys, that would pretty much make it impossible to go back and make edits in the search string (other than backspace), but maybe no-one does that?

mysql snippet and query (getting a carriage return?)

by Paul Nordstrom August

Following up on a post from a week or so ago, I've created a "mysql" snippet to run MySQL commands within TM. (This probably works best if you have a ~/usr/.my.cnf file configured with a default login and password on localhost.) The snippet simply is the following: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql ${1:database} -e "${2:SELECT}" ... so I hit mysql, tab, then enter the DB name and then the command. Some sample queries are appended below. My problem is that the output begins directly after the final " in the -e statement. What's the easiest way to insert a carriage return here? Or is this better run as a command and not a snippet? I've already got macros to convert DESCRIBE TABLE output into all sorts of PHP elements...

Find request

by Ed Wong

I was wondering if it would be possible to not have the page scroll when a string being searched for is found on the currently visible page. I find that when this happens it causes me to think that the found string is outside of the visible region and so I try to locate it's context within the document. Somethings it's only 10 lines away but it may not be obvious because my mental map of the document is disrupted. Many other apps do not normally scroll if the found string is within the visible region. Thanks, Ed Wong

Annoying switching problem

by hadley wickham

I've discovered a rather annoying problem when using Textmate with (more than) two projects open, one of which is large. When I cmd-tab to TM the active project appears immediately, but it takes a couple of seconds before the other projects appear behind it. If during this time I alt-tab out into another application, after a couple of seconds (or when I wave the mouse) the other projects will appear in front of the active application, but textmate is not active (ie. when I type it still goes into the other application, but I can't see what's happening because TM is in front of it). Any fix would be much appreciated! Hadley

Can't tell if file needs saving when it doesn't have a tab

by Ed Wong

Allan, When I have lots of tabs open the ones that don't fit on the tab space gets shunted off to the ">>" menu. This is fine except now when I edit this file, there's no way of showing that it needs saving. This is very minor since I've been in the habit of saving early and often ever since I worked in an office where the power went off on a semi regular basis :), but could you perhaps put an "*" or something beside the file name in the menu to indicate that a save is pending? Just to be consistent with the tab's "x" indicator. Thanks, Ed

Method/function list?

by Chris Bailey

I am hoping I¹m just missing something obvious... Is there some kind of list of functions/methods? I.e. Similar to BBEdit or SEE¹s popup function list? I have used TM very little so far, but one thing that attracted me was the much more ³native² or ³OSX² feel of it, as compared to say BBEdit. We use SubEthaEdit for specific things (collaborative editing only), but BBEdit has reigned so far. Yet, I don¹t really like BBEdit. It just feels old (even the new 8.0), and it still seems WAY behind at least the editors I use on Windows and Linux (these are primarily Visual SlickEdit (for just about anything), IDEA for Java work, and Visual Studio .Net for Windows C++ work). While I realize TM is not an IDE, I thought it was targeted at programmers, so this kind of thing seems like one of the more standard features to expect. Aside from that, I¹m starting to get some time to play with it, and the shell integration aspects seem super cool. One other thing I¹d really like to see is the equivalent of the ³bbedit w² command line syntax, so that I can use TM as my Perforce editor. Anyway, so if I¹m just totally missing it, or there is an alternative way, let me know, otherwise, consider it a feature request :)

Feature request/macro help request

by Brian Lalor

I'd like to implement some automated method for creating getters and setters for private fields in Java classes, but I'm not having any luck figuring out how to do it. My first thought was to set a bookmark where new getters and setters would be inserted in the file and then put the cursor on the line declaring the field to be got/set. (Typically, methods and fields are separated by at least a constructor, and usually the methods are declared after fields in the same order that the fields were.) I'm unable to do this because bookmarks aren't exposed as variables to commands/macros/etc. This also doesn't scale if there's more than one bookmark. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to implement this? Thanks, B -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

Incremental search changes the way you do searching. Using Firefox or Mozilla, on a web page I can just type '/' and then the thing I'm looking for. cmd-f and filling in a dialog box is requires much more cognitive effort because of the two context switches required (into the dialog box and back). Many times I've wanted to type '/something' and then realized I needed to do cmd-f etc... and decided just to page-up or page-down instead. May I suggest cmd-/ for incremental search? Carl

Italics in syntax bundles

by Jeroen

Hello, I noticed that a lot of the syntax highlight bundles use different colours, and on top of that also other decoration such as underline and italics. My experience is that italics in most fixed-width fonts does not look that good and is bad for readability. The other thing is that the italics is mostly superfluous: the aim is to differentiate text from surrounding text and most of the time, this is already achieved by using a different colour and using italics as well does not really help. So I propose that authors of syntax highlight bundles use italics sparingly and only if it really has extra value to use it. How do other users feel about this? And does anyone else have tips for increasing usability of syntax highlight bundles? Jeroen.

i-search in TextMate

by Josh DiMauro

Hello. New user, here. I'm loving TextMate so far, although I've only used it for about 12 hours. :) And I googled the mailing list archives for an answer to a question I had, but couldn't find it. Thus, I ask you: I'm an addicted user of the i-search cocoa plugin, which duplicates Emacs' isearch functionality, with the same keystroke: ^-s forward, ^-r backwards. http://michael-mccracken.net/blog/blosxom.pl/computers/mac/programming/iSea… However, I find that this doesn't work inside TextMate, and that makes me sad. Can you help make me not sad? Thanks. :) -- JoshD http://del.icio.us/jazzmasterson/

TextMate Icon proposal - Anime icon

by Ryan Schmidt

Hello, folks. Pardon the length of this email, but I wanted to throw my hat into this ring. I've just downloaded TextMate, and it has taken much restraint to suppress the constant urge to toss that ugly icon into the Trash. I'll make no apologies for the fact that I find it hideous, and if it were up to me, I'd start over from scratch with a completely new design. Alas, I am not a designer, so I cannot give you a mockup. But I would like to get a description of my idea out into the open, so that someone with artistic skills could give it a go. A Mac OS X application icon is supposed to show the type of document the program works with, and a tool that one might use to work with that kind of document. See TextEdit, AppleWorks, and Preview. However since there are many apps that do not exactly follow this guideline -- I'm thinking of iTunes, Safari, Mail, and Address Book -- I think we have a little room for interpretation. But I am still in favor of keeping the same visual style and perspective used in the Apple icons. I envision the finished icon as mostly white. The "document" part of my icon idea is two sheets of white unlined paper, at the familiar angle (see TextEdit), which look like they could be homework assignments or test papers. I envision that text is hand-written on the papers -- but it should be made clear from the indentation and varying line length and such that it is programming code, not paragraphs of text. There should be red markings on it, indicating where corrections have been made, and possibly a red hand-written and circled A at the top of the page, indicating the grade this assignment has theoretically received, or just a checkmark or some other indication that the document is now A-OK, thanks to TextMate. The "tool" part is where I think we can depart from the recommendations a bit, given the state of other Apple icons. I can't get along with the current robot, so I suggest a happy anime cartoon boy. In anime, as in other cartoons, characters often have superpowers or hidden abilities, and this guy's power therefore is sprucing up your document quickly and efficiently without getting in your way. He's standing proudly to the right side of the papers, legs slightly apart, arms folded in front of him, a red marker clearly visible in his hand, and with a stereotypical spiky outrageously-colored anime hairstyle, possibly partially hidden by a backwards-turned baseball cap. I see him wearing long white pants and a white shirt or sweatshirt (and if only MacroMates had a logo, it could be printed on the sweatshirt). I see the hair as being the icon's primary source of color, but this could prove to be too little color, so the shirt and/or pants may have to get some color too. The color of the SubEthaEdit icon changed from blue to green with the 2.0 release, and iTunes' icon has changed color with every major version as well; the hair and/or clothing colors of this icon could also be changed across TextMate versions if desired. Document icons should be easy to make based on this idea -- just the marked-up paper by itself, not at an angle, with the customary turned page corner. So that's the idea. If we have any designers out there wanting to tackle it, please go for it! I'm of course available by email for further discussions of this idea, and I'll try to monitor the list as well. -- ryan schmidt // hello at ryandesign dot com

Icon colour thoughts

by Drew McLellan

As we've been discussing the TM icon lately, and I'm one of those who isn't keen on the current icon, I thought I'd do some research. When placing a new brand into an existing market, one of the things to identify is the values presented within the brands of your competition. For icons, the overriding value to consider is that of colour. I'm no designer, but I've grabbed together a bunch of OS X editor icons and placed them on a colour wheel: http://allinthehead.com/assets/img/osxeditorcolours.png As you can see, the main focus is on blues and greens. These colours are already over-used and should be avoided. Strong yellow and red have also already been claimed, although there's no strong orange in use. The main gap on the wheel is obviously the pinks/purples and the cyan end. Cyan is tricky to get right, as it tends to either drift into blue or green, or contrasts badly against white. Therefore, I think that TextMate should have a pink/purple icon. drew.

OK, this single thing irritates me A LOT !! Being a beta user, I have yet again updated TM and after doing so, my finely tuned Snippets, Commands, Macros, Templates, etc etc menus are being filled with things that I don't use. So what I would ask for and hope would be easy to implement is: Give *PRIORITY* to my bundles, that are in ~Library/AppSupport/TM/Bundles rather than those that are in the TM.app, or alternatively the ability to switch of the TM.app bundles. This could ideally be controlled by a preference checkbox in the prefs window, that gives turns on the TM.app bundles or not. Default = On. Apologies for yet again boring you with the minor stuff. :) Kind regards, Mats

Re: 1.0.2b7 - The web preview looks great. - the scrolling past the window edges works great. - Open new untitled pref seems to work great. - Thumbs up!

Feature request: Improve syntax highlighting by using stylesheets

by Ralph Pöllath

Hi, I do like TM's syntax highlighting a lot, but I think it's annoying having to tweak their color schemes to my liking all the time. I think the parser bundles should tell TM the kind of a piece of text (comment, reserved word, string, etc) instead of font style information, and TM should give me a way to apply a custom stylesheet to all that info. So I would like to have one file containing my custom stylesheet that tells TM to display all comments (regardless of language) in green, all strings in purple, except for perl, where I'd like my strings to be blue. You get the idea. How does that sound? Cheers, -Ralph. BTW, that's the feature request I wanted to add to the wiki before I broke it..

request for a $TM_BUNDLE_PATH

by Jan Sabbe

I would like to have a $TM_BUNDLE_PATH available in a command, that points to the directory in which the current command is stored. For example, $TM_BUNDLE_PATH would point to /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/HTML.tmbundle for the Refresh Safari command. This would make it easier to make more complex commands (just let your command execute $TM_BUNDLE_PATH/my_fancy_script.sh) or pack in some extra resources.

Re: [TxMt] web color palates for TM?

I love the color picker (awk version)! That is a great little hack which should probably come standard.

Yes, icons are something everyone can have an opinion on (I was alluding to the bike shed piece when I wrote that).

show invisibles, Perl, drag bug

by Eric Hsu

1. Here is my attempt to hack a 'show invisible characters' capability. I made a syntax bundle called 'Show Invisibles' that colors spaces, tabs and ASCII characters below \x21 and above \x7F different colors. I posted the bundle to my web site at <http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate>. Install it and switch to as a syntax highlighting to find the gremlins. 2. I also updated my Perl bundle to have auto-indent and to highlight file test operators. Other changes noted on history page. 3. I think this has been mentioned, but when one drag-selects past the top or bottom of a window, usually the window should scroll in that direction, and TM 1.0.2b5 isn't doing that. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

web color palates for TM?

by Paul Nordstrom August

Hi everyone, Great discussion about the icons (though I agree it's perhaps the least important aspect of TM). During a bout of insomnia I fancifully thought up one that would just be "\B", as in "escaping BBEdit" :) More seriously, I found myself opening BBEdit yesterday just for the web color palate. Does anyone know of a similar swatch picker (perhaps standalone) that would work within TM? Generally I use only a few colors, but I'm color-coding cell backgrounds based on numeric scales and need to see the whole "spectrum" as it were to help choose them. Thanks for any tips... Paul

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

by Mats Persson

OK, I know this has been brought up before and that Allan is working on new implementations for sometime in the future, but I just want to make sure the following is considered as well. Trying hard to be as succinct, logical and realistic as possible here, so apologies if I'm not. 1. GUI ISSUES: 1a) Snippet Editor Window Looking at the Snippet, Command & Macros Editor windows, there is essentially three different design concepts implemented there. Of the three I think the Command Editor is the better functioning concept, albeit not perfect. By making the 'entry NSBox view' fixed in size it enables the user to resize the window and thereby automatically resize the table view (NSScrollView) making it easier to read the full Command names and their triggers. The main problem with the Snippet Editor window is that the table view (NSScrollView) is not resizable. However, this could be improved relatively quickly by: -- implementing a NSSplitView functionality (split view resizing of window parts) -- or making the NSBox view (the gray background box) fixed size as it is in Command Editor window. (Probably faster to implement) This 'simple' change would make using the Snippet Editor much better. For further improvement ideas in the Snippet Editor window, see point 3 below, as they are more context dependent. 1b) Project Drawer & Image files Working mainly with web development and graphics/images, I think it would be great if you could see the image displayed in the main editor window, or alternatively opened by Preview rather than any other app regardless of the Creator Code of the image file when you double-click the filename. This should ideally be a preference option, where you can turn it on or off. The file formats in question are: .jpg, .png. .gif. .pdf 2. BUNDLES MANAGEMENT: 2a) Too many syntax files available in the "Syntax Highlight as" menu Being a bit of a 'boring' developer that only works with PHP, HMTL, CSS & JS I find that I essentially only need my own .tmbundle that contains all four of those languages. I therefore want to be able to turn off the unused bundles, or alternatively keep the unused bundles further down in the "Syntax Hightlight as.." sub-menu. Sort of like this: [ -> = sub-menu ] Syntax Highlight as -> Syntax Status Editor == (GUI see below) -- DIVIDER -- XHTML PHP CSS JS -- DIVIDER -- Disabled Syntax Files -> ASP <snip> Unix Shell... I know that this could be partly achieved by naming my commonly used bundles differently and renaming the others, but I shouldn't have to do that. 2b) GUI Solution to Syntax Management: A Snippet Editor type window where the available Syntax bundles are listed on the left, and in the right hand side view we could display a default bundle sample code template which is highlighted in the window, so that we can see if we like the syntax colouring. Below it, we would have one button "Disable/Enable" with toggle status for enabling/disabling each bundle. A quick & dirty mock-up can be found here: [ http://www.imediatec.co.uk/TM/Bundle-Manager-GUI.jpg ] It should give you a good enough idea about the whole concept. Perhaps a .plist version could be implemented first ?? 3. SNIPPETS STRUCTURE: 3a) Snippets Numbering: All snippets in /<something>.tmbundle/Snippets/ are numbered as 010, 020, 030 and so on with 10 increments for each snippet. Why increment by 10 each time ? Why not by 1 for each new snippet ? Why use numbering at all, since the available snippet files can be displayed according to alphabetical order and then - see points below - could be reorganised according to the users own choice and the display order could be stored in a .plist file ? Why oh WHY change the snippet numbers when I have numbered them as 010, 011, 012 ? Aarrrgh!! :( (My idea behind numbering them that way was to create my own structured Snippets with sub-groups with space to add new snippets in between.) 3b) Snippets Organisation: As I have suggested on the wiki "Feature Requests" page, the snippets would be better if they were structured in categories, where each category is a sub-menu item. When I create new snippets now, I give them a pseudo category identifier such as "PHP " or "XHTML " and then the snippet type id. This helps me keep my snippets fairly organised, but they still stay out of alphabetical order, mainly due to the Custom.tmbundle issue addressed above. However, the biggest problem with my Snippets Menu is that it is too long for my screen (1600x1200) so I have to scroll the menu in order to get the bottom values. Moving to sub-menu categories would improve this drastically. Making the table view in the Snippet Editor GUI into an NSOutlineView (as partly implemented in the Project Drawer) where we could have these sub-groups, toggle the view of their content and so on. 3c) New Snippets Save location: When you create a new snippet it is stored into /App..Support/TM/Bundles/Custom.tmbundle/Snippets/ which are prioritised over the active bundle's snippets. My issues with this structure are: -- I want to choose where I want my new snippet to be stored, as it most likely will be in relation to the current .tmbundle that's being used, and I find it better - in my mind - to add language related snippets in the language bundle they belong to. -- In the Snippets Menu, I would want my active .tmBundle Snippets to be top of the list, not the other way around. The same would be applicable for Commands & Macros as well. That way, by saving all commands, Macros & Snippets related to the specific language/bundle, they are not available when we disable the bundle as suggested in point 2 above. In the GUI, this would work by selecting the current snippet category, and then clicking "New Snippet" button. Sort of like this works in Project Drawer. 3d) Snippet Re-Ordering in Snippet Editor window listing: What would be ideal in the Snippet Editor GUI, is the ability to drag around snippets and re-order them that way. Newly created snippets are always added to the bottom of each snippet group they are created within, but can then be moved by the user to the position they would want. (Think iTunes playlist for a good example of this) OK, that's it for now. Hope I haven't wasted my or your time. Kind regards, Mats -- -- -- -- -- "For those who aren't familiar with OS X, it is a full implementation of BSD Unix with a Macintosh front end, which is to say world class inside and out.

Folding bug

by James Andrews

Hi, Another one for the pile... Not sure if this has been picked up before but the following steps demonstrate a bug in the folding logic: 1. Create a TM new document 2. Past in the following test php code: function test() { /* multiline comment */ some stuff... } 3. Set the syntax highlighting as PHP 4. Notice that it correctly identifies the start and end of the function as a folding block as well as the start and end of the comment as a nested folding block 5. Do Cmd-Alt-0 to collapse everything or click on the fold by 'function ...' You should find the text from some stuff... onwards is not collapsed. If you first collapse the comment (using F1 or clicking on the icon) you can then collapse the function without problems. I might be wrong, but I don't think this is a problem with the PHP bundle, as it is correctly identifying folds. Cheers, James

Dragging Document to Dock Icon Overwrites Blank Document

by Chris Messina

I've noticed that if I create a new, blank document and then drag a text/html file onto the doc, TM will overwrite/fill up the empty document with the contents of the dragged file. Since my goal in creating the new file and then dragging another one on to the doc was to copy and paste between them, you foiled my plans! Can you just leave blank docs in their current state when I drag a file onto the doc? Thanks! Chris -- Do the evolution.

SQL syntax problem with "/"

by Paul Nordstrom August

Alas I'm using "/" as an arithmetical operation in a MySQL statement and it renders the rest of the code (until a subsequent "/") as a RegExp! I thought it was commenting out until I looked at the bundle: { name = "Comment"; foregroundColor = "#9933CC"; match = "^\\s*--.*$"; }, [snip] { name = "Regular Expression"; begin = "/"; end = "/"; foregroundColor = "#CCCC33"; patterns = ( { name = "Interpolated String"; match = "#\\{([^\\}]*)\\}"; foregroundColor = "#aaaaaa"; }, { name = "Escaped slash"; match = "\\\\/"; foregroundColor = "#CCCC33"; } ); }, This is a shame b/c I was enjoying the SQL syntax colors... this renders them unworkable when using the maths... Is there a way to change the RegExp syntax to allow "/" as divisor? thanks! Paul PS to Fred B -- any relation to Agnes? :)

Working with/Deleting empty space in documents ?? Please help !

by Mats Persson

I'm not sure what the correct definition for this is, but here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to remove (delete) the empty space or move the cursor to the beginning of the next HTML tag in an existing HTML document, that sort of looks like the examples below: With the cursor immediately after the first tag: By pressing Alt-Shift-del (not backspace) deletes all space up until the text "this" in Code Example A:, but in Example B: we delete only one line of text, and has to press it twice, in Example C: we end up deleting all the space including the first < in <code> With the cursor immediately after the end of the paragraph text block ('text'/'tag'): By pressing Alt-Shift-del here, deletes as above, but also deletes the </ of the closing tag. I do not know if this is an issue to do with some hidden characters/spaces/tabs in the files I am working with, or whatever, but it is irritating. So, is there some way that this behaviour can be changed ??? Hidden prefs in a .plist file ? IF not - or as an immediate alternative - how would I create a regex & Macro that would delete all the space (including tabs, new lines, carriage returns etc ) up until the first < tag ?? I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here. Example A: this is a simple paragraph text Example B: this is a simple paragraph text Example C: <code>this</code> paragraph begins with an html tag Kind regards, Mats

Dictionary choice in textmate

by David Stickland

I can't seem to find where the dictionary is specified in text mate? I am using it for Latex and in the installation on my portable Mac spell checking (in US English) works, but the, as far as I can tell identical, installation on my desktop Mac I do not get misspelled words high-lighted, but right clicking on a the misspelled word offers me the suggested better spellings How could I specify sometimes a different dictionary (Uk English, French) Mail knows about the different dictionaries....??
