- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Kevin Horton

I am trying TextMate on two machines, both PPC. One machine displays subversion diffs with colours (the default behaviour, I believe), but the other has plain old black text with white background. I am not aware of having made any selections that should have caused the difference in behaviour between the two machines. I looked in the Preferences -> Fonts and Colors on the machine with no colours in the diffs, and I see nothing that appears to be related to diffs. I moved ~/Library/Preferences/com.macromates.textmate.plist aside and started TextMate again, but the diffs are still monochrome. Where else should I look? TIA, Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada

WriteRoom and TextMate ...

by Flo

Hi, I've recently switsched to TextMate and ... yes, it looks great. A few questions remain, so: - Why doesn't "Edit in Writeroom" work? It works in every other application - and I tried re-installing it. Any ideas? Thanks a lot so far...

sorting and backups

by Darren Hardy

Couple quick questions: I would like to have the items listed in the Select Bundle Item... (Ctrl-Apple-T) sorted, but I haven't found an option for that anywhere. Same thing is automated backups -- is there an option to have your previous version saved as Filename~ or Filename.bak, etc. Thanks, -Darren

two questions

by Dushan Mitrovich

I'm a recently registered user of TextMate, and have two questions: - On opening ordinary text documents the Line counter at lower left shows the line number, but the column counter just shows '-'. How do I get this to work correctly? - How do I adjust the left margin for printing?... in fact, all the essential printing parameters? - Dushan Mitrovich

Is it possible to simulate EMACS-style selection marks?

by Kenneth McDonald

I'd like to be able to set an explicit "selection mark", as can be done in EMACS, and then to cut or replace text in the selection range. (For non-EMACSers; the selection mark is similar to a bookmark, but indicates the 'other end' of the selection range, 'this end' being the location of the cursor. Under most GUI editors, moving the cursor deselects currently selected text, while under the mark selection style, the mark stays in place even when the cursor moves, which is great the text you need to select spans more than one page.) Looking at the relevant section of the TextMate manual didn't indicate anything obvious, does TM have any sort of support for this style of copying/cutting/pasting? Thanks, Ken

Simple (probably) request for UI change in bundle editor

by Kenneth McDonald

Now let's see if anyone else agrees with this... :-) Currently in the bundle editor, there's an "Activation" popup menu that has just two items, "Tab Trigger" and "Key Equivalent". Depending on which is selected, a tab trigger or shortcut key is displayed and can be edited in the adjacent text field. I think it would be clearer, faster, and probably take less space in the UI, to simply show two text fields, one with the tab trigger, and the other with the shortcut key. And I think a significant benefit to someone using a bundle is that it then becomes possible to just move through the bundle items and see the shortcuts in the process. Makes learning a bundle much faster. Many thanks, Ken

TODO bundle has hardcoded dependencies to RADAR tag

by frank waldheim

hi there, i started using the todo bundle more extensive recently and eventually took a look at the configuration possibilities. i looked around the settings.rb and found the announced preference dialog and started using it. first i ignored the RADAR tag, but later on i found myself thinking about "having something on the radar" as a future-task or something similar. so i edited the RADAR tag to match like FIXME or CHANGED. after that nothing worked, because the todo.rb expects the RADAR tag to be associated with some spooky html-stuff which is not the case for me. error as follows: /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/TODO.tmbundle/Support/todo.rb:76:in `+': cannot convert nil into String maybe one should fix that for future use. the most sophisticated way would be to provide a "MatchedTagFormatter" callback where one could provide a snippet to format matched content. in either way, thanks for a great bundle and keep up the good work. ~fw -- \|/ ____ \|/ @~/ ,. \~@ "When you are going to die, /_( \__/ )_\ a wombat is better than no company at all." \____/ [waste of money, brains and time - wombat(A2DA482A)]

A simple grammar problem

by Juan Falgueras

I am trying to experiment with grammars (they have many dark points for me), and I have make this simple grammar that does perfectly well all but the "foldingStopMarker" { scopeName = 'source.vaughan'; firstLineMatch = '^Vaughan)'; foldingStartMarker = '^\s*Libro'; foldingStopMarker = '^#$'; patterns = ( { name = 'keyword.other.english'; match = '^.+#'; }, { name = 'keyword.other.spanish'; match = '[^#]*$'; }, ); } I have tried many forms of closing the folding, yet the C {} pairs but it never works for closing in my grammar. Observe that the # is not considered any other pattern, but it does not work as stop marker in any way. -- Thanks for your help - Juan F.

Re : TODO ref

by baptiste auguie

Thanks, that worked a charm I've modified it to /\\ref\{\s*\}+(\s.*)$/i in order to get a comment as well, although it gives me the whole paragraph. Is there any way to limit the number of following words to, say, 10? Thanks, baptiste Something like /\\ref\{\s*\}/ in the Pattern section of the preferences ought to be enough. The double backslash gives a "real" backslash (it's usually used to escape other characters, such as the "\s*" to denote any amount of space between the braces above, or conversely, again as above, to indicate a *literal* brace). Having the "\s*" inside the braces means that if you accidentally leave blank space inside it'll still be flagged.

TODO bundle, add \ref{} item

by baptiste auguie

Hi, Working on a big latex project, I find the TODO bundle very useful for custom notes. Now I would like to add a TODO item which scans the project for the regular expression /\ref{}/ , that is an empty reference, and list them together with a few words of the paragraph they belong to. I just don't understand regular expressions well enough to do that! best regards, baptiste _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !

Small mateup-applescript

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi! I wrote this little Applescript to use the "mateup"-shellscript w/out opening the terminal each time. Save the script as an application bundle and just call it from QS or whatever you're using for the most easiest way to open it. It will show you what it updated as soon as it is finished and can then be "entered away" do shell script "mateup 2>&1" user name "your_user_name" password "password_of_your_user" with administrator privileges set the_output to the result get paragraphs of result choose from list (result) with empty selection allowed Niels

TrueType with embedded bitmap fonts

by Tobias Jung

Hello, probably this not even is a TextMate problem, but I want to make sure that it's not before I spend hours of research what I'm doing wrong... I know that some of you, just like me, use ProFont as editing font in TextMate (and I'm talking about the original pre-OSX version, not ProFontX). ProFont includes the font outlines as well as bitmap versions for some sizes; as far as I can see TextMate uses this bitmap versions for screen display. In the days of the classic MacOS, those bitmap versions were stored in the resource fork of the file; but nowadays it's possible to create a TrueType font with embedded bitmap fonts which are stored in the data fork. I've been using FontForge [1] to create such a font, but when using this font in TextMate, it clearly does NOT use the bitmapped version but rather the outlines which are somewhat fuzzy at small sizes. So I guess that I'm doing something wrong when I create the ttf file from FontForge, but this is what I want to make sure: Does TextMate support such "TrueType with embedded bitmap" fonts or will it always use the outline no matter what I do? Kind regards, Tobias [1] http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

Language Grammar - TM's internal markups

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, I have two questions regarding to the internal language grammar. 1) Is it possible to look for the internal markups which TM is using like "<support.function.perl>(.*?)</support.function.perl>" directly? I only know the way to use the 'magic keyword' in a tmCommand "<key>inputFormat</key><string>xml</string>" and parse the output. 2) Is there a way to modify the current language grammar dynamically? Example: { scopeName = 'text.plain'; fileTypes = ( '' ); patterns = ( { name = 'my.tag'; match = '(a)'; } ); } Then I write a command or what ever to change match = '(a)'; in match = '(b)'; If I do so I have to quit TM and restart it. A 'Reload Bundles' doesn't work. [I don't know whether it is possible to write an Applescript to control TM in that respect.] 2a) Or to use an external file which holds the actual 'match' expression for a given pattern. 2b) Or to change the current used language grammar by using a tmCommand. Many thanks in advance, Hans

Where do you save .tmproj file?

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, I wonder where the project file (.tmproj file) should be located. Do you save in the root folder of your project? Or do you save the file outside of the project? The project file remembers other files relatively, so after making the file, I'd rather not to move it. A problem I oftern encounter is svn bundle tries to add the project file, though I can exclude the file from the commit. I wonder how people work with others using TextMate. I'm very interested in your workflow with project files. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

opening a file readonly

by Harold W. Schranz

Cliff Pruitt wrote: > I'm honestly not putting down the desire for the feature, it's just > not an "expected" feature in an editor. Am I making sense? Not really ... I think a read-only mode should be a standard feature of any serious editor. Just consider past examples e.g. vi, Emacs, Edt, possibly even TECO (but my memory fails me here; digression: TECO is probably the most powerful/dangerous/sparse/delightfully cryptic text (character) editor that's ever existed; Emacs used to be written in it).

I would agree with Andy here ...

Minor PHP Scoping/Formatting Blip

by Richard Dyce

Not a biggie, but thought someone might want to know... for next time they're tinkering (Ciarán? ;-) ) with the PHP bundle. Thought I'd try fiddling with my copy of SimpleTest to put txmt style links on the test reports, just to make things a bit easier... Thought I'd just grab what i needed from the $message variable which shows up something like this: [/Library/WebServer/Documents/pcs/tests/panel_test.php line 56] Tried putting $linkRef = preg_replace( array('/^.*\[/','/\].*$/','/ line /'), array('txmt://open?url=file://','', '&line='), $message); which works as far as the links go, but throws a distinct wobbly in terms of scope within TM after that delimited open square bracket \[. If I didn't happen to be searching for the end square bracket as well, then the rest of the code would be highlighted as a pattern... Hope that's as clear as mud. R -- Richard Dyce MA (Cantab.)

Is the TextMate community faulty?

by Andy Armstrong

A couple of recent posts asking perfectly reasonable questions about TextMate (can you open documents R/O, can you split the screen) have attracted answers in the spirit of "why would you want to do that?" or "here's a command that will erase your hard drive luser". The latter a particularly stupid and frankly unexpected contribution from Thomas. I know TM has a lot of fans in the Ruby community. I wonder if we're seeing the same attitude that hangs around Ruby like a bad smell ("you can't write a DSL in any language apart from Ruby", "wow! That's just not possible in other languages") applied to TextMate. Assuming there's at least some overlap between the two groups of fanatics I'll attempt to address both at the same time: please wait until you've had experience of other languages / editors before you start condemning everthing not-Ruby or not-Textmate. Ruby and TextMate are both excellent tools; both have limitations and misfeatures as all non trivial software does. Neither will continue to improve if their fans believe them already perfect.

Converting encoding using iconv as command

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, I'm trying to use iconv to convert a Shift-JIS document to UTF-8. It's successful in Terminal, but not so in TextMate. The command I use in Terminal is: iconv -f shift-jis -t utf-8 text1.txt>text2.txt This converts the file successfully. In TextMate, I set up a command, using: iconv -f shift-jis -t utf-8 "$TM_FILEPATH" in Command(s) field. I set Save: Nothing Input: None Output: Replace Document Activation and Scope Selector are unset. After using this command, I see a diamond-like character at the end of each line. Any help would be appreciated. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

new shirt ideas/slogans

by Jacob Rus

Hello friends, TextMate desperately needs some updated T-shirts, but behind every great T shirt is a great T shirt idea. So, even if you have no artistic talent whatsoever, you can think up ideas for slogans and designs. And even slogans that don't make it onto shirts could probably be useful for something. Anyway, once some good ideas have been offered up, it will be possible to make some design mockups based on those. I'm happy to spend a bit of time sometime doing some very basic designery stuff, though I'm hardly an expert, and other more qualified designers would of course be welcome to draw up shirts too. But first let's see if as a group we can't come up with some killer slogans. Anyone who contributes an idea/slogan, or a design, which ends up being printed on the shirts gets one free (says Allan; I'm a poor student and can't afford such things ;) To start off, I was thinking it could be something along the lines of "check and mate". -Jacob Rus

Switching between bundle editor and document windows

by Mark Day

Hi, As I've watched some of Allan's screencasts, I noticed he often switches between the bundle editor and a document window in order to try out changes to snippets, commands, etc. It looks like he's using the keyboard to switch back and forth. I know I can switch between windows using Command-` , but any changes I've made in the bundle editor's text field don't seem to take effect when I switch windows. For example, I start editing a snippet. I add or remove some text in the snippet. Then press Command-` to switch to my document window. I trigger the snippet (using tab triggers in my recent experiments), but I get the old contents of the snippet, without the changes I just typed. If I click elsewhere in the bundle editor (in the list on the left, in the scope selector text field, etc.) before switching windows, then the changes I've made to the snippet take effect when I switch to my document window. I've been skimming some of the archives of this list, and I've seen it mentioned that switching windows is supposed to commit changes to the text field in the bundle editor. Which means just pressing Command-` to switch windows should be enough. Am I doing something wrong? I'm running TextMate build 1405 on Mac OS X 10.4.10 on both Intel and PowerPC machines. Thanks, -Mark
