replacing tabs with spaces in selected area

by Mojca Miklavec

Hello, I'm looking for a trick that would help me replace tabs by spaces in selected area. I have source code that looks approximately like this: <tab><tab>short<tab><tab><tab><tab>a; <tab><tab>unsigned long<tab>b; <tab><tab>int<tab><tab><tab><tab><tab>c; which is only aligned when some specific size of tab is chosen. I would like to keep the first two tabs (to preserve nice alignment), but replace the tabs between "short" and "a", so that the text would be aligned under any tabulator width setting. I cannot use just "Search & Replace" because the first tab has variable width (depending on its starting position). If there is no out-of-the-box solution, I know some ruby, so I could write a program that would perform the task for me, but I'm not sure how to pass the following information from TextMate to my script: - at which column does my selection start (I would like to "alt"-select a "box") - how wide is the current tab But I hope that there exists an easier solution. Thank you very much for any hint ... Mojca

Re: replacing tabs with spaces in selected area & RE: How to change <form> tag coloring?

by Brandon M Fryslie

RE: replacing tabs with spaces in selected area You can use regular expressions in search and replace to do what you want, but there is also a built in command. Click 'Text' on the menu bar, then under 'Convert' click Tabs to Spaces. It will only convert the tabs in the current selection. Hold the option key while selecting to select a box rather than the entire lines. RE: How to change <form> tag coloring? This is actually very easy (in theory), I'm surprised more people don't know how TextMate works. I'll tell you the steps to add a scope called meta.tag.block.form.html to your html language bundle which can be styled individually. Note: this only adds a scope to the tag itself. The 'block' part of the language file must be modified in a similar way to style the block. Open the bundle editor, go to the html bundle, then go to the HTML language file. Find the block within the patterns section that starts { name = 'meta.tag.block.any.html';. Select that entire block (from { to }, ) and duplicate it. Of those two identical blocks, you will be editing the one that appears closer to the top of the file. Change meta.tag.block.any.html to meta.tag.block.form.html. Now change the line that starts 'begin' = ... to begin = '(</?)((?i:form)\b)'; Done! Open an html file and press shift+control+p in some different tags and you should see the change in scope from any.html to form.html. I added a style to my theme for meta.tag.block.form.html and it only styles the form tags. You will have to play with it to get it exactly how you want, but I hope this gives you enough info to get started. <3 TextMate Brandon

How to change <form> tag coloring?

by commonmind

I've searched the forums and read as much of the documentation as I could, and I cannot find a straight-forward answer to my question. I'm trying to color specific tags and elements associated with those tags. Using <form></form> tags as an example: I'd like to color these tags and all the elements within them a bright yellow. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-change-%3Cform%3E-tag-coloring--tp30747855p307… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

latex/ghostscript eps error

by Jim McLoughlin

Hi folks, I've got a latex article, me.tex, that includes a graphic mefig.eps. If I compile via the command line: pdflatex mefig.eps the compilation process uses Ghostscript to create an intermediary file mefig-eps-converted-to.pdf and generates me.pdf with no errors. When I compile from TextMate (whether I use pdflatex or latexmk.pl doesn't matter), I get an error: ------------ !!! Error: Cannot open Ghostscript for piped input Latex Error: ./epstest.tex:14 Package pdftex.def Error: File `breakevenb1-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found. --------------- I am using the latest version of TextMate (with the default Latex bundle) and TexLive 2010 (I actually uninstalled my TextMate and re-installed from scratch to make sure it wasn't a config quirk on my end). Any ideas here? Shouldn't TextMate simply be issuing the command "pdflatex my.tex", which work from Terminal? Thanks, Jim

How does the QuickTime embed thing work?

by Walter Lee Davis

I have always been able to drag and drop a QuickTime movie into an HTML page and the requisite object/embed/ActiveX tag structure is automagically built. Now, on my new MacBook Pro Snow Leopard, in a user account I built using the Apple Migration Assistant from a Leopard MacBook Pro, this no longer works. I get a cryptic error pasted into the current document instead of my code. How is this supposed to work, so I can understand where to start poking around? Does it rely on QuickTime 7 Pro being installed? Thanks in advance, Walter

Re: Terminal from within textmate (DTerm)

by Brandon M Fryslie

@Alexey That is really awesome! I will definitely check it out and play around with it. Here is what I use in Visor to achieve a similar functionality. Depending on your usage, it may be better to use DTerm but I figured these might help someone out since they work for regular Terminal as well. I map these to various keyboard shortcuts such as Command+Shift+C or Control+Shift+C with Quicksilver. Applescript to copy the containing folder of the current finder selection to the clipboard: *tell* *application* "Finder" *if* selection *is* *not* {} *then* *set the clipboard to* POSIX path *of* ( *container* *of* (*first* *item* *of* (selection *as* *list*) *as* *alias*) *as* *alias*) *end* *tell* * * Path of the Selection to the clipboard: *tell* *application* "Finder" *if* selection *is* *not* {} *then* *set the clipboard to* POSIX path *of* ( *first* *item* *of* (selection *as* *list*) *as* *alias*) *end* *tell* * * Tell Terminal to go to the current finder directory ( *tell* *application* "Finder" *if* selection *is* *not* {} *then* *set* path_ *to* POSIX path *of* (*container* *of* (*first* *item* *of* ( selection *as* *list*) *as* *alias*) *as* *alias*) *tell* *application* "Visor" *do script* with command "cd \"" & path_ & "\"" in *window* 1 *activate* *end* *tell* *end* *if* *end* *tell* * * I believe these can be modified relatively easily to use the current file in any application if you need to do that a lot. I am definitely going to check out DTerm and see how it integrates into my normal terminal workflow. Thanks for the info!! Brandon

pgEdit - new bundle for PostgreSQL

by John DeSoi

pgEdit supports PostgreSQL specific syntax coloring (e.g. dollar quoting), SQL execution, context specific help, completion, and recognition of SQL language constructs (tables, functions, triggers, etc.). pgEdit uses psql for executing SQL and takes advantage of many psql features. See the "pgEdit Help" command for more details. If you are interested in PostgreSQL, please give it a try and send me your feedback. http://pgedit.com/public/beta/pgEdit_TextMate_2.0b1.zip John DeSoi, Ph.D.

Re: Terminal from within textmate?

by Brandon M Fryslie

I use the program Visor to give me access to a terminal from any program. I press 'Control' twice and it slides down from the top. It is about as fast quicksilver to run a command from any window. Here is the main site: http://visor.binaryage.com/ Here are some instructions for improving it: http://tech.xster.net/tips/the-perfect-visor-reborn/ However, I personally do not like making it an LSUIElement because long story short I can't figure out how to change the transparency with a keyboard shortcut. Instead, I use DragThing and exclude Visor from the dock and application switcher. I can't recommend this program enough. I can't live without it since I use the terminal constantly and this gives me the ability to use bash aliases and scripts as fast as I can access a quicksilver catalog item. Also, DragThing. Stupid name, but it replaces your boring normal dock with as many themed and tabbed docks as you have crap to shove on them. It is also a more versatile and better application switcher than either Witch or LiteSwitchX. Brandon

Escape key non-functional only in TextMate?

by Brandon M Fryslie

My escape key seems to have quit working in TextMate, but only TextMate (out of the programs I've test it with). Here are the essential facts of the situation: My escape key does not work for completions, and in addition it does not work for exiting dialog boxes. When I press Control+Command+T (Select Bundle Item) and change the setting to find by key equivalent, the key entity DOES show up in the window. There are no bundles mapped to escape alone, but Option+Escape for HTML completion also doesn't work, and appears when I enter Option+Escape in the Select Bundle Item window. The escape key DOES work in every other program, included for completions in CSS Edit, and dialogs in Forklift, CSS Edit, Chrome, Firefox, System Preferences, Terminal, and various other things I had open. Escape works properly in Terminal to display a list of completions. Escape also works in the programs Key Codes, Full Key Codes, and KeyDump*, each of which print information about key presses. *http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/ I use KeyRemap4Macbook, but have not done anything with escape. The key worked for a long time with KeyRemap installed, and uninstalling it doesn't seem to affect the issue. So in short, it's only TextMate having an issue, and it does seem to be receiving the keypress (in the Select Bundle Window). It doesn't seem like it is being intercepted upstream, and I never map anything to escape in any other programs. I'm stumped. Anyone else have an idea? Or an idea of why it would affect TextMate only?

Terminal from within textmate?

by Mikael Henriksson

The thing I hate the most about the otherwise great app is the possibility to run terminal (rails) commands from within Textmate. Is that at all possible? It would save me loads of confusion switching between windows. Mikael Henriksson Tel: +46 (0) 730- 393 200 mikael(a)zoolutions.se

Re: Best iPad Text Editor for Textmate Users

by Owen Densmore

> You didn't mention what sort of stuff you would be writing. But for simple note taking I like PlainText: > > http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/plaintext > > It syncs with Dropbox and creates plain text files that can be edited in TextMate. Mainly note taking, although the files have gotten rather large .. need to toss the cruft! The high order bit is that the editor work well with textmate. I think that means utf8 & LF and no hidden metadata. So I'll give PlainText a shot. While looking at the iPad text editors, I saw Markdown mentioned. I hadn't really considered it before, but it looks like a nice way to structure text files with the least intrusion possible. I may give it a shot, and I noticed TextMate has a plugin. -- Owen

Unable to open makefile in folder view

by Alex Smith

I'm using the latest (minor) update - ver. 1.5.10 (1623) and I'm unable to view and edit a makefile unless I open it independently of my project/folder files. I'm not certain when this ability was broken as I haven't been coding too recently... I'm currently just moving between .c/.h files and a makefile at the moment.

Enabling syntax highlighting

by Michael Muratet

Greetings I have installed the two R bundles (Rapp and Rconsole) but I cannot get the syntax highlighting to work. I made sure that the filetypes field in the language grammar has 'R' and 'r' in addition to the 'Rcon' it already had. Still, highlighting does not work. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Running Scheme / Racket in TM

by Quine

Hi, I've installed Racket from the official page and I have the racket bundle. After some mucking about with the path and setting TM_SCHEME_INTERPRETER the run command stopped erroring in executor and *seems* to run. However, its output is set to show as tooltip and prints out a bunch of html, so I changed that to show as html to get the usual output window. Unfortunately there's no output. I ran racket < file.scm in terminal and that produced the correct output on stdout, which as far as I know is what it should do for executor to work with it. Anyone know how to get this working? Thanks Quine

Can I hide .txt extension in TextMate?

by Owen Densmore

I generally do not use the .txt extension .. presuming it to be text. This is likely a Bad Habit due to README's, shell scripts, and notes etc but seems relatively harmless. But recently I've started using things like Dropbox and other internet facilities that really get upset about this. (BTW: I'd love a good iPad text editor .. any good ideas?) So it seems I'll have to start adding the .txt extension, sigh. One annoyance in textmate is that this makes the tabs larger and hang off the end. So I guess there really are two questions: - Specifically: Is there a way to have textmate not show the extensions? - Generally: Am I right that I'm doomed to .txt usage? -- Owen

TM lags when switching

by Scott Haneda

I am pretty sure I just pinned this down to TM. If I work in TM, save, then command-tab to a browser, there is significant lag from the time it will switch to the browser, or, at times, even bring up the application tab switcher. If I do not save, the toggle is fast, so it seems to be something to do with leaving TM, where it is not letting me leave as fast as other apps do. I have tried toggling back and forth between other apps, and the behavior is speedy. Any idea what is going on, and how to solve it? These are simple files, single files, that have a hundred lines or so in them, nothing complicated at all. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *

TM 1.5.10 won't run on OSX 10.6.6

I updated OSX to 10.6.6 and now textmate won't start at all. I start it from the dock, it just bounces and stops. Starting from command line, like 'mate .' it just sits there and does nothing, no error output, nothing. Nothing in the Console app either. It was all working fine before I did the osx 10.6.6 update last weekend. Have anyone else had this problem, and what did you do to fix it? cheers, e

Best iPad Text Editor for Textmate Users

by Owen Densmore

I'm looking at the many iPad text editors and wonder which would work best with textmate. I would prefer also to use Dropbox, so compatibility with DB would be a plus. I currently use Textmate + Dropbox across a mini and a MBP and the sync feature is really nice. Problems with iPad that I've seen discussed is that they may force CR/LF, or do not handle UTF-8 correctly (scrambling characters), or match Windows users better than Mac. So I thought I'd see if any of of us textmate folk have found a good match. -- Owen

parameter to jump from error console in Firefox to referenced line of code in TM

by Steve

Hi, I'm trying to get TM to work with the viewsourcewith addon for Firefox (found here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394/ ) . I have mate installed at /usr/local/bin/mate . I'd like to be able to jump from the Firefox error console to the correct line in my open TM document. The viewsourcewith addon asks for the path and parameter. I've given my path as /usr/local/bin/mate and the parameter as $f . This indeed opens TM, but it does not take me to the line referenced in the error console. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx.
