Objective-C completion vs Bracket Matching

by Gerd Knops

Joachim et al, There is one minor (but annoying) detail about the combination of Objective-C completion and Bracket Matching. I have come to rely on Bracket Matching quite heavily, but that frequently leads to situations like this: NSFileManager *fileManager=[NSFileManager defaultManager]; if(fileManager fileEx| At this point completion (Alt-Esc) will not do anything because there is no opening bracket before 'fileManager'. So the only way is to type the closing bracket (which inserts the opening bracket), back-arrow, and then Alt-Esc, and later having to skip over the closing bracket. Not really a big deal, and I suspect it would be difficult to implement, but in a perfect world I would hope code completion at the above situation would insert the brackets along with a snippet that lets me tab to any arguments and eventually past the closing bracket.

Documentation of osx/plist.bundle -- and in general

by Daniel Sadilek

Hello everybody, as nobody answered my question regarding "Configuring syntax highlighting programmatically", I suppose there is no easy/standard way to programmatically configure syntax highlighting. Therefore, I will try to modify the syntax highlighting file and the current theme file programmatically and then tell TextMate to reload them. While searching how to do this, I found OSX::PropertyList.load to read property lists and after asking google I also found that there is a function OSX::PropertyList.dump. However, finding this information was more or less fortune. Is there a central place where I can search for TextMate documentation for bundle developers? How was I supposed to find out about OSX::PropertyList.dump? Best regards Daniel Sadilek

Semi-OT Screencast FAQ?

by Steven Harms

I was thinking of making a screencast that shows off a bundle i wrote. When I tried to test out some sample content and posted it to YouTube and Google Video it looked like absolute crap. I seem to recall that allan posted a guide on how he made the 'casts somewhere in the wiki, but i can't find it. If anyone has tips and tricks using snapz-x pro or a HOWTO please let me know. Thanks, STeven

Delete references as default?

by shin kurokawa

Hi - Maybe a feature req or maybe there's already a solution that I'm not aware of... I was wondering, if there's a way either by prefs or by some manual mod somewhere to make 'delete reference' the default as opposed to 'move to trash' in a project file that might contain a large number of directory + file refs. I've accidentally deleted quite a few files this way, and would like to minimize my cursing if possible. :) -Shin

Leopard Tiger evil pitfall: escaping a backslash in bash

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, During the last two days I've fought against my mind. I tried to get rid of escaping a backslash in bash. I have a bash scripts which reads the selection/line, does something, and finally it returns the result as InsertAsSnippet back to TM. Fine. Among others one has to escape '\'. OK. I did this in Leopard T="123\\123" echo "${T//\\/\\\\}" Fine. BUT THIS ONLY WORKS UNDER LEOPARD! Under Tiger I have to write this: T="123\\123" echo "${T//\\\\/\\\\}" It took me two days to figure out that this is caused by using two different versions of Bash. Is this a known issue? If so, is there link to an article mentioning more of them? [I couldn't find an entry mentioning that macromates.com. Maybe worth to have one.] To be compatible with Leopard and Tiger I have to write e.g.: T="123\\123" echo "$T" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/' Regards --Hans

problem with "Edit in Textmate" bundle

by William Scott

Hi folks: I realize this a difficult question, but on 3 10.5.2 computers, I have installed the "Edit in TextMate" bundle in /Library/InputManagers On two machines it works fine, and one it appears to no longer work. I am scratching my head to figure out why. In each case I have copied, rather than symbolically linked, the directory "Edit in Textmate". In the case of the one not working, I have tried both linking and copying, but to no avail. The permissions on each are the same and look like this: ls -l /Library/InputManagers/Edit\ in\ TextMate total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102B Nov 18 09:59 Edit in TextMate.bundle/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 462B Nov 18 09:59 Info ls -dl /Library/InputManagers/Edit\ in\ TextMate drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136B Nov 18 09:59 /Library/InputManagers/ Edit in TextMate/ Is there anything obvious I could have skipped, or should try? I've been using svn to sync my plist file in ~/Library/Preferences , so these should be identical. Thanks. Bill William G. Scott Contact info: http://chemistry.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/

Configuring syntax highlighting programmatically

by Daniel Sadilek

Hello, I recently built my first TextMate bundle (http://sadilek.blogspot.com/2008/04/dna-sequence-analysis-with-textmate.html ) for some simple DNA sequence analysis. It was really easy to accomplish this with TextMate. However, I'm missing one feature: is there any way to programmatically configure syntax highlighting? What I want to achieve is that a user can configure pairs of string and color. All occurences of the string should be highlighted in the given color. I have already built a corresponding dialog (very similar to the preference dialog of the TODO bundle) in which I can enter strings and select a color for each. The "only" thing missing is using this information for highlighting the text. Best regards Daniel Sadilek P.S. This sort of function would be interesting for the TODO bundle, as well: for highlighting the TODO markers in the text.

HTML - Completion problem using ESC (TM's internal text completion)

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I have the following HTML code [ | indicates the caret]: <li>1. Einlesen des Textes</li> <dd> <b>Das Einl|</b> </dd> If I press ESC to complete "Einl" to "Einlesen" TM beeps. I believe TM has a problem internally with the following "<foo>". If I have a space or a bracket after the "l" like "<b>Das Einl| </b>" the completion works fine. Even if I have "Einl|foo" OR "Einl|<>" OR "Einl|</>" and I press ESC TM tries to complete "Einl" correctly. TM has ONLY a problem if between < and > occurs one or more characters AND if the grammar is set to HTML (in Plain Text it works!). Is this a bug? Is that behaviour configurable/changeable? TM 1.5.7 (1464) on Mac OSX 10.5.2 (ppc) Thanks, --Hans

PHP and debugging, what is your strategy?

by Clark Endrizzi

Hi all, No I'm not asking for a PHP debugger in textmate, but I am curious what you guys do to get around this. Currently I'm the only textmate user at the company I work for, everyone else uses ZDE. While I wouldn't want to give up all the things textmate offers, I am a bit jealous of the debugger they have in their IDE as in some cases it really makes it easy to resolve issues. So is there any options for us textemate users? Is there other ways to use the debugger outside of ZDE that makes it possible to have a debugger on the side? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Clark

Easy way to open and see two files in a project at once?

by Steven Rowat

Hi, Working in a TM project, I often have this problem: I want to compare code with another file in the project. I want to see them both at once; possibly to edit one or the other or both. Then I find I can only look at one of the files at a time - the second file always opens in place of the first one, inside the project. I have to trust my memory about what the first file said. Bad idea, usually. :-) My current workaround is to create a new document, and copy code from the second file into it, so it can float beside the project. But this is a poor replacement for two active windows; takes several steps, and only one of the files can be edited actively. I could also close the project, and open both files. Again, a poor workaround. Is there any other way? If not, is there anyone else who'd agree this would be a nice feature for 2.0? Especially this happens with CSS cascade files, where I need to choose how the same parameters are controlled at different levels. Steven Rowat

Help - TextMate for beginner

by Joe Kuan

Hi all, I got a Mac Book Pro and this is my first time using Mac. I have been using the evaluated version of TextMate and found couple problems: 1) The top folder in the drawer occasionally closes when I switch to a space and back. It doesn't remember which folders that I have previously opened. 2) I have read the key binding help pages for page up/down keys. However, I seriously cannot find the page up/down keys on my Mac book pro keyboard. What is the alternative? 3) Will the split screen editing include in the next release? I find it difficult without such feature. Many thanks in advance. Joe

Ruby help (ri) lookup frustrated by duplicated entries

by Fritz Anderson

Doing a ⌃H document lookup in a Ruby on Rails file won't lead me to the desired documentation. Instead, the lookup disambiguation menu loops infinitely. This is, I assume, a problem with my Ruby installation, but it particularly bites me in TextMate, and I hope someone here can point me to a solution. I am running Ruby 1.8.6 (supplied with Leopard), Rails 1.2.6 (supplied with Leopard), ri 1.0.1 - 20041108, and TextMate 1.5.7 (1455). I am not aware of having installed any additional Ruby or Rails. If I type "delete" in a Ruby on Rails document, and press ⌃H to look it up in the documentation, I find among the many choices "ActiveRecord::Base::delete". Selecting that does not produce the documentation window, but shows a second context menu containing: ActiveRecord::Base::delete 1 ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all 2 ActiveRecord::Base::delete 3 ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all 4 Selecting one of these simply reopens the menu, and I'm stymied. I can't get my documentation. "ri delete" on the command line produces a list in which every entry is duplicated. Refining to ActiveRecord::Base::delete shows ActiveRecord::Base::delete, ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all, ActiveRecord::Base::delete, ActiveRecord::Base::delete_all … and once again, I'm stymied. That's why I conclude it's a Ruby/ Rails installation problem. I'm not experienced enough to trace it. Can anyone offer/point me to a fix? — F

accidental folded code deletion

by Benjamin Snyder

Hi, Has anyone else found that it's far too easy to accidentally delete folded code in textmate (without noticing!)? Several times I've found that the body of functions I thought I had safely folded away seemed to just disappear, because I must have accidentally hit backspace onto the "...". Obviously this could lead to disaster -- does anyone know of a way to disable deletion of folded text? If I can't find a solution to this problem I may have to stop using textmate for coding (which would be a shame, because otherwise I like it). thanks, Ben

rebuild folding data?

by Aaron Wallis

Hi there. I seem to be running into issues with textmate's code folding. Say I have a file open and folded to-the-max and edit the file in a different application, the folding points get all screwed up? The data seems to be persistent too, I have to tinker around in the file for a minute or so till TM actually rebuilds the index. Is there any sneaky way of forcing TM to rebuild the folding index or something? Cheers! ________________________/Az.________

tm_interactive_input question

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I try to use the wonderful tm_interactive_input (thanks a lot!!), but I have a tiny problem. I copied the latest version of tm_interactive_input.dylib into $TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib/. If I create a tmcommand like this: TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT_DYLIB="$TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib/ tm_interactive_input.dylib" if [ ! -f "$TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT_DYLIB" ] then echo "$TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT_DYLIB doesn't exist, build it first" exit 1 fi export DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES="$TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT_DYLIB$ {DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES:+:$DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES}" export DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1 TM_INTERACTIVE_INPUT=AUTO ruby -e " puts 'decoy line' print 'Enter Something: ' STDOUT.flush puts gets " I see the dialog and the prompt but I cannot enter something and I cannot close the dialog (only APPLE+. works). What I'm doing wrong? MacOSX 10.5.2 on ppc; TM 1.5.7 (1464); compiled tm_interactive_input.dylib version svn 9338 BTW: How can I change the button's titles? Thanks a lot in advance, --Hans

Fold #ifdef's

by dvlogic

Is there a way to fold (hide) C/C++ #ifdef's that are not defined in a project? In emacs there is a minor mode "folding" that has a hide-ifdefs/show-ifdefs command to auto fold sections of code embedded between the #ifdef and #endif. It seems like TextMate should be able to do something very similar. If anyone knows of this, please let me know.

Subversion-Bundle and https

by Niels Kobschaetzki

Hi! I have a repo to which I connect via https. The problem is that it uses a self-signed certificate and I to tell svn each time to trust the certificate (even so that I tell it to accept it permanently). When I want to use now the svn-bundle nothing works because there is no window where I can do any input of any kind for accepting the certificate. Any ideas what I can do about that? (It seems though the reason lies in my svn-installation because the certificate doesn't get cached; would be better if anyone would have an idea how to fix that). Niels
