- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Andrew Kish

Hi, I'm on TM 1.5.5 (1368) and just recently, my fonts have become all ugly. Here is an example of 10-pt non-AA Monaco: http:// img214.imageshack.us/img214/1407/picture1lm1.png . All other fonts have the same issue, both with AA on and off. The fonts are just fine in Terminal, with the exact same settings. So far, I've tried: • Deleting the com.macromates.textmate.plist preferences file. • Checking for font corruption in Font Book • Deleting Library/Caches and /Library/Caches in hopes of getting the font caches (are they actually there?). Any ideas? Thanks, Andy K.

Add Persistent Include bug ?

by Phil Molyneux

Apologies for the ms with no subject - here is the ms again: Whenever I try to execute the command Add Persistent Include from the HTML bundle (using either the menu item or the Control-Commend-I keystroke), I get the following text embedded in the file: /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/ HTML.tmbundle/Support/tminclude.rb:313:in `include_command': undefined method `request_file' for TextMate::Dialog:Class (NoMethodError) from /tmp/temp_textmate.wx7fNU:3 I'm running TextMate 1.5.5 (1368) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 and ruby appears to be installed as /usr/bin/ruby Any idea what I'm doing wrong here ? The lines around line 313 in the file tminclude.rb mentioned above are: require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/dialog.rb" cstart = (@escape_open).rstrip + ' ' cend = (' ' + @escape_close).rstrip begin Dialog.request_file do | file | print <<-"EOT" #{cstart}#tminclude "#{file}"#{cend} #{cstart}end tminclude#{cend} EOT end and the file dialog.rb does appear to exist in a lib subdirectory with a request_file method but I don't have enough Ruby or textmate knowledge to see where things have gone wrong or my use of Textmate hasn't worked.

Monaco 12 pt italicized quotes display problem

by Ed Allen

I'm a Textmate n00b, so maybe there is just something I have misconfigured, but just in case it is a bug... I noticed today that I wasn't seeing quotes correctly in comments at my default settings. My default font is Monaco 12 pt. Anti-aliasing is off. Inside of comments which are italicized, I noticed that I don't see single quotes at all (just a space) and double quotes as single quotes. This problem doesn't happen in the non-italicized code text and goes away in italicized text if I boost the text size to 14 pt. It also goes away if I turn off the italics styling on comments. So is there something I need to tweak to get quotes looking right in the italicized text? I checked TextEdit for comparison with antialiasing turned off in the System Preferences for 12 pt and lower, and the quotes in Monaco are normal there.

Create project out of new file?

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi! Because of the troll-thread and one of the mails in it, I just came along an issue I more or less ignored most of the time. Is it somehow possible to create right out of TextMate a project out of a single file? E.g. you open TM and create a new file with cmd+n or open a single file. You end up with a file which isn't in a project. Can I now directly create a project which includes that file? I'm aware that I can save the file, create a new project and then move the file into the project (e.g. by dragging the file's icon from the title of the window with the file into the project-drawer of the new project) but it would be better if I could directly create a new project out of a new file, including that file.

calling Vim switchers

by Jacob Rus

Hi TextMate Vim switchers (also BBEdit, Emacs, XCode, Eclipse, etc. switchers). I find that Vim users find the transition to a new editor much more difficult than switchers from other editors. This speaks highly of Vim's power, flexibility, and efficiency: there are aspects of its use that are very hard for users to give up, and parts of Vim that work much more efficiently than the equivalent TM features. So, I ask that you come together to fill out this wiki page: http://macromates.com/wiki/MigratingFrom/Vim So that when the (not infrequent) question comes up from a Vim user about why to use TextMate instead, there will be some resource to point her at. I think it would be great to put tips, tricks, maybe some thoughts about what TextMate could do better to meet the needs of those used to powerful Vim features that can't quite be emulated. The goal should be to (preferably in this order): 1. Convince Vim users that TextMate is worth trying. 2. Help Vim users through aspects of the editor that are likely to trip them up. 3. Figure out how Vim features can inform new TextMate commands, etc. Note, former users of other apps can make other subpages from this top level page: http://macromates.com/wiki/MigratingFrom/HomePage It might be nice to put together a page for general Windows switchers as well, with tips like how to get home/end key bindings working (that blog post of Allan's), etc. ---- The wiki could probably use some general info for new users. Many tutorials and tips have been posted around on various blogs, but it would be nice to consolidate and clarify some of this information, and put it somewhere where it can be kept up to date. Note: the wiki can use markdown syntax by wrapping a page in (:markdown:) and (:markdownend:) -Jacob

setting paths in TextMate

by Piero D'Ancona

I installed ruby 1.8.5 and appscript on my mac (and it is hugely better that the schizolanguage of AppleScript). Now if I define a command in TextMate like #!/usr/bin/env ruby require "appscript" include Appscript te = app('TextEdit') TextMate complains it (he) cannot find appscript.rb (no use to give the explicit path since then TextMate cannot find the files require'd inside appscript, etc etc). Clearly, I must set new paths, but how? and maybe I should also tell TextMate to use 1.8.5 instead of 1.8.2 I'm sure this is easy but have no idea how to do it. Any help? Thanks a lot, Piero

Resources for Emacs veterans?

by Kynn Jones

I'm sure that a few of the developers of TextMate were not even born when I first started using Emacs... Now, I know very well that ol' Emacs ain't perfect, but by now my fingers and brain are so wedded to Emacs that, despite a few attempts, I have never been able to switch to a different text editor. But several people whose opinions I value have urged me to give TextMate a try, so here we go. I imagine/hope, given that so many people in TextMate's target audience use either Emacs or vi, that there will be extensive resources to ease the transition *from these specific editors* to TextMate. Am I right? If so, where are these resources? More specifically, I'm hoping to find something like a "TextMate for Emacs veterans FAQ", with answers to questions like: 1. will I be able to use TM entirely from the keyboard? 2. will I be able to set up the same key bindings as in Emacs? how easily? 3. can I work on a single window, switching between buffers from the keyboard, or will I have a zillion windows floating around my desktop? 4. will I be able to preserve my workspace (including open buffers, modes, and other settings) from one session to the next, à la Emacs Desktop? 5. can I run a shell withiin TextMate? 6. does TextMate integrate with debuggers like gdb? ...etc., etc. Thanks! kj

subversion commit problem

by rupert

Just thought I'd let you know that Textmate bombs out on me when I try and commit changes to my subversion repository using the subversion bundle. To be honest I've not used this bundle for a long time as I use svnX, but svnX has just stopped letting me open my repositories and working copies (it bombs out also) so I thought I'd give it a go. I can't comment on when this started happening to the subversion bundle so I don't know if the two problems I'm having are connected, but the only thing that's changed since yesterday (when svnX was working fine) is that I've installed the iTunes (7.1) and Quicktime (7.1.5) updates from Apple, so if the two are connected then (although I can't see why) this may have something to do with it..... [command line subversion is working fine ...although I'm having problems remembering how to use it!?!?!] Cheers n thanks for an awesome editor! Rupert

Balance Tags/Blocks

by David Kurtz

I'm taking a fresh look at TM and using it 60/40 with BBEdit... one of the things I'm missing is a "balance tags" or "balance blocks" feature. e.g. if I'm between two tags, I hit the key command I've assigned, cmd-opt-B, and everything between the two current HTML tags gets selected. If I press it again, everything within the parent tag gets selected, and so on. Is this something hidden in one of the TM bundles? I really miss this whenever I move over to TM. Similarly, I like being able to double click on opening braces, parens, brackets, and selecting their contents. I know there's the code collapsing, but it's different and doesn't seem so universally applicable. e.g. object literals in Javascript aren't collapsable in TM. In BBedit they're both collapsable and the bracket-double- clicking works. Any suggestions?

Re: [TxMt] How can TextMate be so popular???

by Dave Winzler

TextMate installs a new 'mate' command that can be used to open files and directories from the command line. I don't recall if it installs the command automatically, or if you need to do something special to invoke it, sorry. Folding can be tricky, as it matches both open/close folding characters for the language you're currently using, and the indent level must be correct as well. Plus, of course, they need to balance correctly. Not sure about the beeps, I only recall TextMate beeping during a search, if it's found the last occurance and I ask it to find the next one (which there isn't one). Hope this helps, - Dave

Projects, svn, etc

by David Clark

Hi, I am trying to come up with a solution and thought that some of the brilliant members of the list would have some ideas/suggestions. I work in an environment where 3-5 people edit files for multiple sites that are in the webserver of a shared server (currently accessed thru smb). most of the edits are html, and I don't want to "burden" them with checkin/checkout/etc etc However, I am setting up new development box (ubuntu) and want to use svn/trac/etc. I already have (and use) tm project files for each "site" and I keep them in the parent directory of htdocs on the share. can the project file have all the svn project info and handle things on open/save? thanks -- dc ----- David Clark Database Developer Institute for Community Inclusion (http://www.communityinclusion.org/) david.clark(a)umb.edu (617) 287-4318

Adding code syntax highlight to markdown blogging.

by Luke Daley

Hi, Would it be possible to add support for correctly syntax highlighting code in markdown blog posts? I have the iG:Syntax Hiliter plugin <http://blog.igeek.info/wp- plugins/igsyntax-hiliter/> which highlights the code when viewed online, but it would be nice to have the code highlighted in TextMate. The syntax for this plugin is .... [perl] # perl code here [/perl] [ruby] # ruby code here [/ruby] etc. What would be the best way to do this? - Luke.

Misguided use of content-type in XHTML/1.1 template

by porneL

I've just noticed that template for XHTML/1.1 has been changed to include application/xhtml+xml content type in <meta> element. This is completly misguided as <meta> is there only for backwards-compatibility non-XHTML user-agents -- that is only those which *do not* support application/xhtml+xml. From W3C XHTML FAQ: "Note that a meta http-equiv statement will not be recognized by XML processors, and authors SHOULD NOT include such a statement in an XHTML document served as 'application/xml' (and 'application/xhtml+xml' as well for that matter)." Please change it back to text/html or remove <meta> element completly. -- regards, porneL

Hi I have changed \s+ by \s* in the (L)anguage grammar for to C recognize also "name(args)" and not only "name (args)" as function prototype in C. I did easily the change in the C bundle, but my question es: is it the best way of changing an standard bundle? if that bundle is updated in the future by the TM developers, will it be updated in my system?

Why the Ruby syntax needs work

by Thomas Aylott (subtleGradient)

On Feb 27, 2007, at 9:14 AM, Allan Odgaard wrote: > Could you btw make a case for the new Ruby syntax? I never figured > out what problem it was supposed to solve. The default Ruby syntax doesn't scope enough stuff. There are very basic things that are completely missing like method calls, operators and lambda variables. My Ruby Experimental adds these basic things and a few other niceties like leading space and core library method names and better punctuation support. The advantage is partly for the ability to better theme Ruby files, which many people like myself are looking at all day every day. Looking at mostly white on black text all day is enough to make you go mad. Another advantage is in using the Select Scope command to better and more quickly select the current relevant scope. When you don't know the language as well as you'd like, having the core library methods colored slightly differently can really help you to quickly notice any misspellings and such. So, to sum up: finish scoping the basic syntax of the language different kinds of operators, methods, lambda variables, basic punctuation like the => thing, etc… core methods Improved text interaction with select scope improved readability with leading space scopes improved awesomeness with the minimization of unscoped generic text But, that's not really the point. The point is that a syntax should scope as much as possible, not as little as necessary. Then it's up to each person to choose how you use those scopes. Just take a bit of a peek for yourselves internet people! Would you rather spend all day looking at this: http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne? id=404629435&context=photostream&size=o or this? http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne? id=404629540&context=photostream&size=o (if you hate that theme, just pretend you love it instead) thomas Aylott — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg — sixteenColors

The re-opening of documents on start

Error using rails 'install plugin' command
