Dear List, is there a way to change Textmate's internal shortcuts? I was unable to find infos on it. Specifically, I'd like to reassign Column Selection to something other than ALT (it sometimes gets in the way on non-English keyboards).

Ruby, UI.dialog, and popup controls

by Dru Kepple

I'm rather new to both Ruby and Interface Builder. So what better thing to do than to try to write a command in Ruby that uses TextMate::UI.dialog? Please excuse the newbness of my question. I also apologize for the length of my post, but I tried to provide as many details as I could. I've managed to get some basic nib goodness happening, in the form of text fields both setting values on nib launch, and returning values on nib close. But I'd like to implement a popup control in my nib, and am at a complete loss for how to get the values both in and out. It's really just a short list of options, not even dynamically generated, but it's not working and I can't find any form of reference or help on Google. Here's what I've got. Without worrying about the popup control, this works: TextMate::UI.dialog(:nib => nib, :parameters => {}, :center => true) do |dialog| dialog.parameters = {'package' => 'com.mypackage', 'activity' => "ActivityClass"} dialog.wait_for_input do |params| package = params['package'] activity = params['activity'] puts "package: #{package}" puts "activity: #{activity}" end end I tried setting up the nib with an Array Controller, and binding Content Array for Multiple Selection to my parameters Object Controller, with the Model Key Path set to the parameter name (buildTarget). This at least didn't cause errors, which was a huge step forward for me, and even appears to return back the the whole array of objects that I'm passing in. Then I figure I need to bind the popup to the array controller, and I've tried Content, Content Object, Content Values...but I'm really just shooting in the dark. If anyone has idea, or could even provide a reference or a working sample of what I'm trying to do, I would be very grateful.

Just starting to call myself a full time TM uses, general

by Scott Haneda

Hello, I now use BBedit rarely, the times TM just flat out amazes me, I am a happy camper. There are times I still fire up the old BB, but it gets less and less. Maybe I am getting too old to remember all these damn keyboard shortcuts :) 1) Is there an <a href... snippet, I can not find it 2) How can I shift selected text right and left one space at a time? 3) Most other apps allow me to drag and drop a text clipping to the apps icon, and it will open it. In TM, I have to open the clipping, copy, then new file, then paste. Any workarounds on this one? Oddly, I find I used this feature a lot and I am missing it. 4) I am liking soft tabs a lot, as they seem to allow me to align things better, and when files move to other places, they stay lined up regardless of the tab stop setting. I was happily working in 4 spaces per tab stop, and wanted to move to 5, changing it did nothing. I had to convert spaces to tabs, then make the change. I am not entirely sure what I did really. Can someone give me a primer or point me to docs on how this works? * I am often opening tab separated files, and will need to open tabs to 40 spaces or so, because the launch time to something like Excel is just too aggravating, TM seems to work against me a little for this type of work, suggestions? 5) Given code such as: $foo = 'bar'; $this = 'that'; $something = 'else'; What is a simple way to get to: $foo = 'bar'; $this = 'that'; $something = 'else'; 6) I have picked up this TM book and printed it out, it is helping me a lot. There is a section on being able to select some sql, and have it run and show me the output. I am not understanding how to make this work. I usually have a db.inc that will contain my user and pass and db name, so it will be well outside the scope of the file I am in, unless TM can follow that include reference. To be able to run arbitrary sql would be huge for me, is there a better walk through? I am just not getting this one to work. I have not tried to be honest, since I do not understand the setup at all. 7) Any of you care to share your top #1 little tricks, the one thing you use all the time, that just makes you happy every time you invoke it? I mainly work in php, so leaning on things that would be helpful in that area would be nice. Second would be bash, and lately, for some odd reason, I have been spending some time in TCL, but not much, so I am not sure how many tricks in there would benefit me in the long run. Thanks all... Hey, when is the next version coming out... just kidding :) -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *

Newbie...Select between double quotes

by MDX-LE

How do I Select all the characters between double quotes? When I use Ctrl+Alt+B when the cursor is somewhere inside the double quotes, it selects all the characters inside the quotes AND the quotes themselves.

Text size in TMCodeBrowser

by Saul Rosenbaum

Having some issues with my eyesight, and although I can make the code any size I want within TM, I can't seem to figure out how to bump up the size in the TMCodeBrowser - I even tried adjusting the NIB, but couldn't get both the text and the line-height bigger- I realize it's a third party plugon - but I thought it was worth asking.. - sr

Better Find/Replace

by Nicholas Cole

I need to do a lot of horrible search and replaces in a very large project (actually replacing a lot of bibtex labels). I want to do a search in project, and would like to limit it to particular files (*.tex ones). The "Find in Project" command is replaced for searching with excellent plugins like "Grep in project". Does anything similar exist for search/replace? Best, Nicholas

how to set paths for Textmate.exit_show_html ?

by Piero D'Ancona

I have an html file containing <img src="dvipsnames.png"/> The image renders correctly in the browser and also in TextMate's builtin preview. However, if I pipe the same file to Textmate.exit_show_html the image does not show. How should I specify the path to the picture so that Textmate.exit_show_html can find it? Thanks Piero

Extending comment definition?

by William Uther

Hi all, I'm looking to extend the definition of a comment in the textmate syntax highlighting, but I'm not quite sure how to achieve the effect I'm after. I frequently comment out snippets of code by sticking `if (false) { ... }` around the code. The other variation I use is to convert an existing condition into a comment: `if (false && previous condition) { ... }`. You don't want to over-use this idiom, but it is useful in its place. At the moment TextMate treats this just like normal code (which is exactly what you'd expect). I was wondering if there was a way to make TextMate see these patterns as comments. It isn't easy as you really want to pick the right brace to close the comment. There could be further blocks of code nested inside the 'comment block'. This isn't a huge priority for me, but I thought I'd raise it and see if anyone had any obvious solutions. Be well, Will :-}

how can I make TextMate the default editor for text files on 10.5.6

by Bill Paxton

Hello, How can I get 10.5.6 to use TextMate as the default application to open text files instead of using TextEdit? For example, if I do the following, I'd like the new file to open in TextMate: grep 'test' *.c > newfile open newfile Currently, this opens in TextEdit (ugh). For files with an extension, I can get the system to use TextMate for all files with that extension. But I'd like something that works automatically for files without extensions (like "newfile" in the example). Also while it works to use "get info" to set the "open with" application for an existing file, when I do "Change All..." to use TextMate, I get the following error: An error occurred while changing the application that open "newfile" because not enough information is available. I'm using Version 1.5.8 (1498). Thanks, Bill Paxton

Fixing the Java class snippet

by Sebastian Röder

The class snippet in the Java bundle (from SVN) is not working as expected for me. It fails guessing the correct class name from the file name. The regex for the class name guessing looks like this in the current snippet: ${TM_FILENAME/(.*?)(\..+)?/(?2:$1:untitled)/} For a file that is not yet saved I get "class untitled ..." as expected. However, if I have a Java file TestClass.java the snippet names the class "untitledTestClass.java" - not what it is ment to be. In an very old version of the bundle the regex in that snippet was: ${TM_FILENAME/(\w+).*|(.*)/(?1:$1)(?2:ClassName)/} This one works for me (TM). I hope this is a good pointer to get the snippet working again in the current bundle. I also asked myself, whether the regex should be "improved" in such a way, that it only accepts valid Java identifiers as class names and otherwise informs the user about it. Nor sure whether this is beyond the scope of the snippet, so I would like to hear some opinions, befor I start messing with the regex ;-) A possible improvement could be like this IMHO: * A file MyClass.txt results in "class MyClass". As long as the identifier is valid inside the Java file, the snippet should not care about inapropriate named files. * Same goes for file/class names that are against naming conventions but compile fine anyway: class myclass, class Myclass, etc. * The regex _should_ complain when file/class name doesn't start with a Unicode letter, underscore, or currency symbol (dollar, euro, yen sign). e.g. 1MyClass is not a valid class name (error at compile time). The snippet could give the user a hint early in the process by naming the class "class InvalidClassName" or something * The alphabet for class names _should_ be restricted to Unicode letters, digets, underscore and currency symbols * keywords are not allowed as Identifiers but I'd say that's beyond the scope of the snippet check that too Last but not least it would be great if the tab triggers were the same between packages for common snippets like class: python has class-->, ruby has cla-->, java has cl-->

Re: ActionScript 3 firstLineMatch

by Brenton Simpson

>> I believe this is the correct firstLineMatch for AS3: >> package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{ > > You need to add a ^ assertion to the beginning of that at least. And > you need to make sure it can't get triggered in D, Doxygen, Groovy, > Java, JavaScript, Processing, Scala. (The languages I quickly scanned > to see have a package keyword that could get tripped up) I did some quick research: - The Java-based languages use a semi-colon, rather than a brace. - D uses 'module' to define its packages. - Before I added the firstLineMatch, my files were coming up as plain-text. If there's a language this pattern conflicts with, TextMate doesn't know about it out-of-the-box. Here's a slightly-modified version that caps the ends of the string. It also makes the { optional (in case someone puts his braces on the next line): ^package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{?$ > I used \bAS3\b because comments are as likely to be found on the > first line as package declarations. So, for anyone who wanted to, > adding 'AS3' would help TM identify ActionScript 3 over ActionScript > files. > > I've also taken the liberty of adding 'AS3' into the comment header > for the same reason. I'd venture a guess that package ... { is the handily the most common first line of an AS class; however, why don't we use either method? (^package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{?$)|(\bAS3\b) Note: I get this as a first line if I do new AS3 class from template: package .var.folders.NQ.NQfuLuLLE+aVJJfvkTLNwU+++TI.-Tmp- { I imagine I'll have plenty to contribute in the way of bundlie- goodness. I don't personally use a version control system, and I'm not wed to any of them. Is there any sort of utility that will enable me to contribute to any of them, so I could fork somebody on github and somebody else on bitbucket without having to mess with git and hg? Thanks, B

Regular expression for current file name without extension

by Jan Jakob Bornheim

Hello everybody, I use TextMate mainly for LaTex editing. In LaTex, I often use a package "jurarsp". This package works by way of running BibTex on a file with the extension *.rsp.aux (okay, admittedly the," rsp"-part is not the file extension, but you get the gist, I hope). In TextMate, I set all my LaTex projects to run the latex, bibtex, etc. commands on a master file. Now I want to create a custom command that would run bibtex on the master_file.rsp.aux file, where the "master_file"-part would automatically be the name of the master file of the current project. The bibtex command already achieves this by using this simple syntax: texMate.py bibtex 1 However, simply adding .rsp.aux after the 1 does not work. So I guess what I am looking for is a command or regular expression that would do the following: get the name of the current master file without extension, and add the extension .rsp.aux to this name. Maybe that is very simpe question I am asking but I promise you that I duly researched the mailing list and could not find an answer. Thank you for any suggestions, JJ

How do I upgrade the LaTeX bundle?

by W.P. McNeill

The upper margin of the .pdf files I create using latexmk.pl through Textmate are too small. I find manually running dvipdfm in the shell fixes this problem. I've see email on this board indicating that there is an updated LaTeX bundle. (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.textmate.general/22383/match=latexmk) I want to try this updated bundle to see if it fixes my problem, but I can't figure out how to update my LaTeX bundle. I've tried the following svn paths: svn list http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/LaTeX.tmbundle svn list http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/LaTeX.tmbundle Neither of them exist. Can someone tell me how to upgrade my LaTeX bundle. Thanks. -- W.P. McNeill http://staff.washington.edu/billmcn/index.shtml

Conditional regex

by Dijk van Marc

Hello all, I'm developing a bundle for handling biomolecular structure files (PDB files). I'm now working on getting the language description sorted out. In doing this I ran into a regex problem. The situation: A PDB file is essentially a table. One line from such a table can be as follows: ATOM 14 CA GLN A 2 -27.648 -9.581 30.325 1.00 10.00 In the language description I would like to use a regular expression construct that matched 'GLN' only if the line starts with either 'ATOM' or 'HETATM'. This seams like a conditional regular expression but my attempts to implement it at such have failed so far. Can anyone help? Thanks, Marc
