by Mojca Miklavec

Hello, Can someone please give me hint how to implement the following simple auto-complete scheme in TextMate: 1. We have three commands: \hi, \hello, \world 2. They can be used as: a) \hi[mum] or \hi[mum,dad,grandpa] or \hi[mummy,daddy] ... where we are allowed to put only one of the words mum, mummy, dad, daddy, grandma, grandpa into brackets (can be a list) b) \hello[mum,grandpa] ... the same way as \hi is used c) \world[shape=sphere,color=blue] or \world[color=brown] where one can use only "shape=sphere/geoid/cube" and "color=blue/black/gray/brown" I'm confident with writing ruby code, but I need some basic hints for the TextMate part of it. Thanks a lot, Mojca

synctex support in LaTeX bundle

by Mark Moll

Are there any plans to add synctex support to the LaTeX bundle? Synctex is part of the *tex engine and replaces pdfsync. It will be part of TeXLive 2008. Skim.app already includes support for synctex. -- Mark

Spelling in comments

by Eric Uner

In looking at how spell checking in comments works, and searching the archives for alternatives and suggestions, I can see spelling is disabled in comments because, as Alan points out, "a lot of comments are actually commented out code." Good point, and I can clearly see there is no one way that can make everyone happy. In my case, a tremendous amount of useful documentation is in code comments, and spelling errors make the code less professional. I am constantly going to an external editor, or typing the comment into a blank area of the document inside a quote so that TextMate thinks it is a string, then removing the quote and hitting command+/. I'm thinking about crating a shell script or bundle or something to do all this. Does anyone have any more "elegant" suggestions? It would be great if there was a way, for example, to have a menu item (perhaps even a bundle) that could just spell check the selection regardless of the context. Thank you for any suggestions. Doc

Matching multiple lines in a grammar pattern

by Nate Cavanaugh

Hi all, I'm trying to add an invalid scope to a certain group of lines. Basically, the regex pattern I would like to match is this: ^(\n){2,} Which works fine in the Find dialog, but when trying to use it as a pattern, it doesn't work. I am guessing because of the way that the pattern matching works for grammars, but is there a way to match this? The logic is, I would like to match every line that has no content on it, but is part of a group of 2 or more extraneous lines. One \n is valid, but 2 or more is invalid. I've tried so many variations of trying to use captures, matching content, but it seems to be treating each line as it's own match independent of the previous or next ones. Anyone know how I might go about applying this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Matching-multiple-lines-in-a-grammar-pattern-tp189011… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Feature Request: Bibdesk Support for Latex Watch in Latex bundle

by Jan Michael

Hi Textmate and LaTex-Users, with my current workflow writing a masters thesis I frequently add books via BibDesk to my bibliography. Currently I have to run BibTex separatly to propagate changes in my *.bib file to the latex main document. But I think this could also be done by the latex_watch.pl script of the latex bundle. Is this possible? Cheers, Jan

I must be one of the few that got TM1 specifically because TM2 was advertised as a free upgrade. I figured I would learn what the editor was all about and be familiar with the basics when the new version came out, I assumed, soon after Leopard. Well, that time came and went and there are enough niggling things in TM, particularly with the python bundle (the language I edit the most), that I went searching elsewhere. For me the single most frustrating thing with the python bundle is that you need to add blank lines with spaces to line up the end of a class / def in order for code folding to work. That is not only annoying for me, but other team members as well. A close #2 is also with folding, which breaks if you start function parameters on a new line rather than on the same line, e.g. test = some_func( param1, param2) Perfectly legal, but you need to do this in order to have any hope folding code: test = some_func(\ param1, param2) Legal, but annoying, especially working with a team where I don't have control of the entire source's coding style. -berto.

Scrollbar bug

by Morten Skyt

Hey, I tried sending this a week ago to the mailing list through that webinterface, Nabble, but as there was no responses, I recon it didn't come through, so here I try again: I just noticed a peculiar bug with the scrollbars when browsing the database. Apparently, the resizing of the window often causes some of the scrollbars to be either fully or partially hidden. I've tried searching the posts through nabble.com and it didn't seem this issue was debated, but as this is my first time here, I apologize if I was wrong... I've recorded a little video which demonstrates the bug. Textmate is build 1464. http://skythost.com/stuff/textmatescrollbarbug.mov Regards, Morten Skyt

How to target specific fields for a "Change to Titlecase" in SQL

by John Stephens

Hi, I'm new. I'm working on a custom Textpattern installation and my client has entered a massive amount of text data in certain fields using UPPERCASE. He wants the text displayed in Title Case instead, and he doesn’t want to manually change it. I can easily use the style declaration "text-transform: capitalize;" for these elements, but my client would very much prefer formal title case in which words such as “the,” “of,” “and,” and “for” are not capitalized. (I see that Textmate’s "Convert to Titlecase" command in the "Text" menu does this correctly.) I have made a mysql dump of the database, but I'm not sure how to isolate the appropriate data for a text transformation. Here is how each individual record is formatted in the database: (91,'2008-08-03 05:20:57','author-username','2008-08-03 05:26:33','','UPPERCASE DATA','','','','','','','UPPERCASE-DATA','', 0,'Comment',0,4,1,1,'section-name','','lowercase-data','lowercase- data','','','','','','','','','','','UPPERCASE DATA','','lowercase- data','3p344629nn178n874sp2s222s0q3n072','2008-08-03') The mysql dump also contains uppercase terms such as "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" and lowercase terms like "datetime" and "varchar" that I _don't_ want changed. Is there a simple way to target just the UPPERCASE DATA fields enclosed in single quotes for a massive "Covert to Titlecase"? I welcome advise from regular expression fu-masters and Textmate adepts! Thanks in advance! John Stephens

Re: TextMate 2, I give it up

by Christopher Boerger

> Please, lets not start this again. > Be happy with what you have, and dream of TM2 at night, > but for the love of god, stop complaining in the mean time. I think it's fair enough to ask. TextMate 2 has been talked about for what, 1.5 -2 years now? There's rarely an update as to the progress either, which is what I think is the main reason people ask "so where's TextMate 2.0 at?" It's a closed-source commercial product (which, for the record, is okee dokee by me) so, in my opinion, there is more responsibility in communicating with your customers. Nobody can just hop in and adopt the open-source "don't like it, then fix it" approach. Why are people so defensive about talking about it? Perhaps I missed a TextMate 2.0 mega-flame battle prior to subscribing to this list. Clearly TextMate is great. Clearly TextMate is an impressive version 1.x generation product. However, if you really think that TextMate is so complete then I question if you have used any other text editor or IDE or if you are just a fanboy. Basic features like split panes windows and a decent undo system are missing. Because those features are so basic it means their absence is felt nearly every time I use TextMate. I won't get into what features from what editors are missing/ would be nice but I list those two only to underscore the point that TextMate, while great, still has, at the very least, some basic functionality missing. Basic functionality that will, we assume, be addressed with TextMate 2.0. There isn't a day the goes by that I don't lament the lack of a split pane window. Please note that this does not imply I don't think TextMate doesn't have many great things about it that other editors are missing. TextMate rocks. Therefore, after a long, silent wait since its announcement and the fact that there are still some glaring holes with the current release I think it's fair to ask, "so where's 2.0 at?" It's not a complaint, it's just a question and a reasonable one at that.

Mactex wiki doesn't mention TextMate

by Snyder, David F

I was checking on the synctex issue brought up yesterday and while looking at the MacTex wiki (for "TeX on a Mac") there is no mention of TextMate as a TeX editor or "frontend", which is rather surprising since I've used all of the editors and front ends mentioned and found TextMate's approach preferable. I've not the time right now, but perhaps some enterprising soul from this list might wish to rectify the situation: http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Sincerely -- David F.

Changing

by Steve Lianoglou

Hi all, When entering commit comments using the subversion bundle, you can submit the dialog box by hitting the Enter key w/o having to grab the mouse and hit the Commit button with the cursor. I was wondering if I could change which key invokes the "Commit" command in the dialog box. Since the Enter key is a multi-step dance on my keyboard, I was hoping to be able to switch it from Enter to "Shift-Return", or something similar. Anyone know if that's possible? Thanks, -steve ps. Sorry for the bad subject line, can't think of any handy one-liner to summarize my question.

Reset blogging bundle

by Nigel Green

Hi all, Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like to remove all login details from the blogging bundle so I can start again. I've removed the plist file, but when I try and set a blog up to post it seems to be using an old password from somewhere that is incorrect. I'll be jiggered if I can work out where the password is being stored and I can't get either of the blogs I post to to fetch categories or blog entries with the ones that are being used.

tmCommand, Dialogs and multiple outputs (Ack problem)

by Adam Strzelecki

Hi, I don't know if it was discussed already but there's something that bothers me very much, the way showAsHTML in tmCommand works. Right now using "Ack in Project" with ⇧⌘A opens empty blank output window (killing old window if it was there), then Ack displays dialog asking for the search query, if I press cancel output is left blank. I was thinking it was fault of Ack scripts themselves, but unfortunately it is way the commands work in TM. So my Q is, would it be feasible to: (1) Show output window only once command writes something into the output first time -> So in Ack when the window is popped up we don't see output window yet, and when we Cancel we won't see the output as well (it will mimic better expected interface) (2) Ability to create multiple output windows for single tool, currently Ack has its own single output window so: * When I search something new, all my previous results are killed, even when I press by mistake the shortcut, now the output window is emptied * I wish to search for few things at once and make all the results stay Seting "uid" to nothing (or removing the uid section from tmCommand) somehow makes many output windows to show up (2), but something wrong makes sometimes TM crash with such windows.

TextMate 2, I give it up

by Peder Axensten

http:wiki.macromates.com/FAQ/TextMate2: Q: Will TM2 be a free upgrade? Yes. Except for users who got TM1 as part of the MacHeist package. The MacHeist TM1 license will require an upgrade fee in order to upgrade to TM2. (source). So, there will be no TextMate 2 for a long, long, long time. Not until there is a serious competitor. The talk has been on since before Mac OS X 10.5, but... It's a pity, but it's very understandable. One has got to live of something. Regards, /Peder

Web preview enhancements?

by Marco De Vitis

Hi, regarding web development with TextMate and its web preview: I found the http://wiki.macromates.com/GUI/WebPreviewEnhancements page, and wondered if everything written there still applies, and if any workarounds exist, especially for the following two issues: > Don't close it when a different tab is selected in the TextMate main > window > Add an option to refresh the Web Preview window if "any" file in the > project has changed. This would be useful for anyone editing CSS > files and wishes to see the changes immediately. The lack of these two features unfortunately makes the preview rather useless when developing a new site from scratch while using a separate CSS file. I'll add to these that AFAICT, when editing a long HTML page, the web preview goes back to the top each time it's refreshed, making it useless again if you're working on an area at the bottom of the page. Am I missing anything? Thanks :). -- Ciao, Marco.

mate command broken after security update 2008-005

by Sean Lynch

Yesterday I installed the os x security update 2008-005. Now the mate command takes a very long time to run. For instance if I type "mate ." to open the current folder it can take up to five minutes to complete the command. The length of time to open the directory seems to be proportional to the number of files in the directory. If I use mate to open a single file it still takes 10-20 seconds. Also, I don't know if this is related or if it will help diagnose this problem but after the update I noticed another difference in the terminal usage. In my .profile I have export CLICOLOR=1 export LSCOLORS=DxGxcxdxCxegedabagacad But after the update "ls -la" won't use color when printing results. I wish I could give more information but I don't really know where to begin. Has anyone had any similar experiences.

LaTeX Bundle and Terminal

by gkv1＠mac.com

Hello, I'm using TextMate a lot for Latex - it a great editor and bundle for that. I have one question: How can I open a terminal, or go to a pre-existing terminal window, from TextMate, and then run a given shell script in the terminal, in particular a shell script that would typeset the master document? One reason I want to do this is that the latex bundle seems to typeset in nonstop mode. If there is an error, it highlights it but keeps on running if possible. This is not always optimal, as one would sometimes like to be able to press the 'h' key and see what help TeX can offer in finding the error. One could do this easily from a terminal, and it would be nice to call this with a keystroke from TextMate. It is presumably possible to modify the LaTeX bundle to do this from the console - and perhaps this is already doable but I don't know? But in any case, I'd still like to be able to open a terminal window as above. Thanks Geoff Vallis

Latex label creation

by Jan Michael

Hi Textmate-List, is it possible that the labels which are automatically created on writing a new chapter, section, subsection and so on also recognize German Umlauts ä,ö,ü as well as ß? Right now these characters do not got replaced by ae, oe, ue and ss so that you have to do it yourself if you want end up in an compile error with latex (pretty annoying when using the "WatchLatex" script). It would be of much help if the label creation function could handle this. Can anyone help? As far as I can see the regexp has to be extended. Best regards, Jan
