howto help: new user can't figure out HTML completion

by Textmate List User Ivy

Folks, I'm watching Putting Flickr on Rails (http://www.rubyonrails.com/screencasts) and see the presenter using TextMate with completion for a new HTML file. Great! How do I "turn it on"? Just want to set it and use it. I open a new doc, "application.rhml" in my rails tree in folder, "layout" and type "doctype" and hit "esc"...nothing happens - no, I take that back. Textmate beeps at me. I don't want to become a textmate expert or wade through a lot of documentation. Is it a bundle setting? A keystroke sequence? Bad karma? I've gotten pretty good at BBedit in my day, so I'm not daunted by configuration, but I don't want to (re-)learn unix or vm or whatever to understand this. And searching the list archine (http://macromates.com/community) isn't quickly, concisely yeilding the answer (in the first two pages of results for "how to use completion". Please answer this probably incredibly simple question, or point me to the tutuorial, thread, post or URL where the answer is found. Thanks, Ivy

Re: [TxMt] LaTeX: Bibliography-Autocompletion stopped to work?

by Max Lein

Since I have never used BibDesk in conjunction with TextMate before, we can rule out #3 and I use option #2 only if #1 doesn't work or turn up the option I like. I'm definitely talking about #1, although I was a bit confused myself, to be honest. So here are some more details: (1) I have set the variable TM_LATEX_BIB (there are spaces in the path, not sure whether that is important). (2) I type \cite{ and start with the first few letters of a citation (e. g. King for KingSmithVanderbilt:blablabla). The scope is text.tex.latex, meta.citation.latex and constant.other.reference.citation.latex. Sounds alright to me, although you are clearly the expert here. (3) I hit escape and nothing happens, no autocompletion or toggling through my options. Instead, I get OS X' alarm bell. (4) I hit option + escape and everything works just fine. So TextMate definitely finds my bibliography file … If there is anything I can do for regression, just let me know. Max PS I will be on a conference Monday through Thursday, so I won't reply as quickly as I usually do.

CSS bundle - property name pair matching weirdness

by minimal design

Until yesterday, when I entered ":" after a class/id property name like: .class { property_name: As soon as I hit the ":" I'd get ": ;" with a space after the ":" ready to type the value. Now, suddenly I get no space anymore... Which is prety annoying because I finally got used to the space being there automatically... Worse even: when I go to work tomorrow, my version of TM there is probably going to insert that space and I'm going to go nuts switching between the 2 versions everyday... :'( I looked at CSS bundle prefs for PropertyName: { smartTypingPairs = ( ( ':', ';' ) ); } but I don't see where the space came from before and I didn't change anything there anyway... I don't really care either if I get the space automatically or not, but it took me a while to get used to it when TM first started to do that (I kept on inserting an extra space for like 2 weeks...) so what bothers me is that behavior changed... again... and I have no idea why. Happened to anyone else before? I did remove all the customized bundles and restarted TM fresh, but the auto insertion of the space is still gone... Thanks for any help!

R console mode difficulties

by Peter Cowan

Haris, What a great idea, I saw the commit and thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately I didn't have much success. I have R.app (1.16, R version 2.31) open and running. In the latest cutting edge I create a new document, choose the R console language and get the following errors: > print("hello world") 294:299: syntax error: Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier. (-2741) > x <- 7 152:163: execution error: System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1) Thanks for all your efforts! Peter

LaTeX: Bibliography-Autocompletion stopped to work?

by Niels Kobschaetzki

Hi! Right now I'm writing on the concept for a thesis and it seems that the bibliography-autocompletion stopped to work. I openend the bundle-editor and saw that there was no key assigned it. When I assign Escape I get text-autocompletion, if I assign alt +esc I get the same, if I assign anything else nothing happens. Can anyone verify that? I use built 1258 with an actual SVN-checkout and Bibdesk 1.2.9 for my bibliographies (but the last one shouldn't be important, should it?)

LaTeX: Bibliography-Autocompletion stopped to work?

by Max Lein

Same here, I was wondering why that function doesn't work anymore. I don't use BibTeX (it effed up the special characters in my bibliography, e. g. umlaute and it took me an hour to clean up my bib file). Instead, I have set the proper TextMate project variable and it did work before with the same project. But until recently, I could use only escape to shuffle through suitable entries of the bibliography without using BibDesk at all. I definitely prefer using escape over alt + escape, so if there is any way to get the old functionality back? Here's another vote against removing the old escape-only command ;-) Max

Django Templates Grammar Included in HTML Grammar?

by Brad Fults

I downloaded the Django Templates bundle and it works fine, but I have to select it as the active language on all of my template files. I would rather just select "HTML" as the language and have the Django Template stuff be included within HTML, just like PHP, Ruby, and Smarty are. I took a look at the grammar and tried a few things, but was unsuccessful at integrating them. Could anyone give pointers on how that integration should work or, better yet, a working HTML grammar that includes this change? Thanks. -- Brad Fults

a better label completion techique

by Piero D\\\\\\\'Ancona

Hi, this is a followup to the thread with a similar name, but I thought it deserved a new thread since I'm posting a complete solution (hehe - I'm trapped in a hotel room in Paris, it's raining here...) So: 1) create a new command "Lable Table" with input= entire document output=Show as HTML 2) the command is the following. (I know, I should post a .tmCommand file, but I do not know how so bear with me). GMane requested me to split the commands, but we have here 6 commands (5 sed and 1 tr) which should be on one line each. When joining back the last sed command do not introduce spaces. sed -n -e "/\\label/{=;N;N;G;p;}" | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/^$[0-9]*$$/\<p\>\<\/p\>\1/' | sed 's/$.$$/\1\<br\>/' | sed 's/\\label{$.*$}/\<a href=\"javascript:TextMate.system (\"\/usr\/bin\/osascript \&\>\/dev\/null -e %tell app \\\ "TextMate\\\" to insert \\\"\1\\\"% \& amp;\&quot, null);\"\>\\label{\1}\<\/a>/' | tr "%" "'" 3) open a .tex file and experiment. When you click on a label the argument is inserted. The command and the text insertion is very fast, and as to usability it's already better than the standard Label completion (my taste). Please, some real coder take this stuff and make it into some serious code, I think the result is pretty amazing compared with the simplicity. I am not able to extend the script for multiple files (i.e. one master file and the \includes), any help? Ciao, Piero

idea: a better label completion technique

by Piero D\'Ancona

Hi list I am using TextMate full time to write Latex and it's great, and improving. One thing I do not like is the CocoaDialog interface to insert \refs: too slow and clumsy. I (almost) can stand it for bibliography completion but \refs are too many, too similar to each other, and too frequently needed, so the dialog interrupts my workflow. So I started thinking and tinkering, but my coding skills are too poor (I also sent a msg to this list asking for help). Finally I think it is better to publish the idea and let the code wizards code it, if they like it. My feeling is that this could be the optimal way to insert references, even better than auctex's. The idea is very simple: parse the tex file, write all labels (plus some surrounding text) into an auxiliary .lbl file, convert this into html, and replace each \label{...} command with an "a href" to a tiny javascript command that tells TextMate to insert the label's name into the source file. Finally, output to HTML. (Improvement: just search the labels matching a few characters, as it is now). Do you see it? This produces an HTML window, with a list of all my labels, followed by the beginning lines of the equations (or section titles). More important, each label is clickable, and when I click on it, the reference gets inserted into the source file. I can keep the label window open, so no need to invoke the command over and over. When I add more equations, I just refresh the window as necessary. But I got stuck with some stupid coding problems. 1- Easy to grep the tex file for lines containing a \label command plus some context. E.g. the following command outputs line number, plus the \label line, plus two nonempty lines following it: sed -n -e "/\\label/{=;N;N;G;p;}" | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/^$[0-9]+$$/\n\1/' 2- Easy to save all this info into a file fileName.lbl and do some rudimentary html-ization (just add <p></p>'s to separate the labels from each other- you can do much better I know, but this is fast) 3- Not so difficult to replace each "\label{...}" with the javascript link. But I got stuck when writing the osascript. Let me explain. Is is easy to create a link such that, when I click on it, TeXniscope is activated (e.g.): <a href="javascript:TextMate.system('open -a TeXniscope', null);"> TeXniscope</a> Nice! So I said, I'll just insert an osascript telling TextMate to insert the label reference: <a href="javascript:TextMate.system("/ust/bin/osascript -e 'tell app \"TextMate\" to insert .......'", null);">\labe{...}</a> (of course, "....." must be replaced in both places with the \label's name, using some bash, and some string must be joined etc etc) This doesn't work. Why?? even the simple <a href="javascript:TextMate.system("/ust/bin/osascript -e 'tell app \"Finder\" to activate'", null);">Finder</a> does not work. This must be some escaping trickery. Could some pious wizard explain what's wrong? and even better, like the idea so much to code it? I do not think it should be hard (for you :). Regards, Piero

help: shell commands in HTML

by Piero D'Ancona

Hi, somebody help me, I guess it takes just a look at this code to spot what's wrong (for you): --------------------------------------- <html> <head> <script> function letsTry () { TextMate.system("/usr/bin/open -a /Applications/TeXniscope", null); }; } </script> </head> <body> <span id="letsTry"> <a onClick="letsTry()" href="#">Let's Try</a></span> </body> </html> --------------------------------------- I put this in a p.html file. I then create a command in TextMate that does " cat p.html " and outputs to HTML. The HTML appears, but of course clicking on the link does nothing, not certainly opening TeXniscope as hoped. Documentation(s) perused, sleep hours lost. Any idea? Piero

List of files when a folder in drawer selected?

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, It would be cool if I could see the list of the files contained in the folders on the main window when folders in project drower are highlighted. Currently, when the folder is selected, the main window continues showing the file I'm currently editing. Even when no files are open, which means that the drawer and the main window, the window shows nothing but the large TextMate icon. It would be great if we could get a list of the names of the files containted in the folder. Additional information such as the date created and the date last modified would be nice. This, I belive, helps those who use long file names as well as people who use similar prefix for file names. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

Another Subversion Commit Broken

by Ryan Powell

My subversion bundle "Commit" command stopped working - I get the following message: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Subversion.tmbundle/Support/svn_commit.rb:12:in `require': no such file to load -- /Users/ryan/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/bin/shelltokenize.rb (LoadError) from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Subversion.tmbundle/Support/svn_commit.rb:12 I've searched the archive and I've seen a couple of similar threads, and like some of them, this also only seems to apply to commit (I can still use the diff commands). Maybe I'm missing something, because the recommendations I found didn't work or didn't apply. I've added TM_SVN (/usr/local/bin/svn) to my TextMate shell variables, and I tried adding it to my .bash_profile and changing BASH_ENV in the preferences. The other recommendations centered around the version of Ruby, and I'm running Tiger and have version 1.8.2 already installed. I'm running TextMate version 1.5.3 (1258), and have the latest subversion bundle installed. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Ryan

Lucky Linking Trio

by Brett Terpstra

These are my three variations of the "Lucky Linking" idea, where the command searches Google with the selected text and returns the "I'm feeling lucky" result as a link. I have modified all three commands so that they require no extra support files, but they do require some standard libraries that I made assumptions that everyone would have. If I'm wrong, let me know. The Get Title from URL variation is just an improvement on iamrice.org's version. The regex is a little more flexible, and it returns a link with a title attribute. The Google modification incorporates the Get Title command and grabs the title from the "Lucky Link", using the updated regex, and inserts it as a title attribute in the link. The Wikipedia version goes a few steps further and scrapes the pages with a quick regex to determine if it's a final destination or another search page (or disambiguation page). It provides a dropdown menu when there are multiple results. It will also detect if there is a redirect and put the correct link and title into the link while leaving your original text alone. This should allow you to quickly see if it got off on the wrong track. I am no good at either programming or regular expressions ;-). I do my best to fool people. But I am eager to learn from my mistakes, so if you do take the time to look at these, please give me as much feedback as you can. I'll lap it up like a puppy. Cheers! Brett

CSS highlight bug…

Re: [TxMt] Split the project drawer?

by David Rogers

Mark, Thanks for the advice. I rarely use the drawer buttons due to the Ctrl-Click functionality; everything is duplicated in the pop-up menu anyway. The problem I've been experiencing originated from trying to create a group from files and folders within a top-level folder reference, which probably conflicts with the 'Groups can't exist in Folder Reference' rule; Textmate doesn't make the logical jump to create a top-level group. This does represent desirable behavior, however, as it would be conducive to one's workflow to have both folder refs _and_ groups, just not intermixed. I'm not sure how Allan has implemented the data structures for Groups and Folders in the Project Drawer, but they're probably the same base type and TM does a quick type/class check to ensure Groups don't get mixed in with Folders. While I can definitely see the use of both, I haven't quite gotten a grip on how Groups are created, I think. I can't find anything in the GUI that allows me to create an empty Group, although the GUI supports creating an empty Folder. Of course, this has to do with the tie that Folders have to the filesystem, but the ability to create an empty top-level Group and populate it with file references would be nice. Then again, I haven't really found a way to duplicate file / folder references, either, once the groups have been established. That stuff might just still be on the drawing board.

Submission question: Wikipedia Code

by Brett Terpstra

I have a small bundle with some Wikipedia "Lucky Linking" code that I'd like to submit for people to play with. What's the proper way to do that? The bundle includes one support file (stolen from the blogging bundle) and 4 commands: Search Wikipedia and Create Link Basic version of Wikipedia Link Updated Google Link Updated Get Title of URL I also have a collection of HTML snippets, commands and macros that I think might be worth sharing. I've posted some to my blog, but thought this might be a far more direct way to get them to people who might care... Thanks, Brett

Thanks, Allan. Any reason, programmatically speaking, that Textmate couldn't handle both file/folder references _and_ groupings? I've encountered quite a few instances in my most recent projects where this feature would be more than a little handy. Certainly one can work around it, though. Thanks for contributing a great product to the 'Maciverse'...! David

Split the project drawer?

by David Rogers

Hi, I'm another (mostly) happy (more like nigh-elated) textmate user. Does anyone recall this thread? How about this comment regarding multiple panes in the Project drawer: > You can't currently do anything nearly so complex. > You CAN make groups of files, however. > > Just select a few files and the "group this stuff" command is it the > little widget menu at the bottom of the drawer. > > This can actually speed textmate up quite a bit if you're working on > a remote volume. Does anyone know of any conditions that would prevent files from being grouped? I've been trying to select a number of files for grouping, and encountered no success. I've selected files in the same folder reference, different folder references, files and folders in the same and different folder references, everything I can think of. The "Group Selected Files..." option in the widget / ctrl-click menu, however, is always grayed out (disabled). Any suggestions? David

Filtering request for "Wrap Selection as Link" HTML command

by Glenn Batuyong

When creating documents to validate with the XHTML doctype, the ampersand character in any URL needs to be escaped as an HTML entity & ...TextMate will perform this automatic transformation on copied items when you select text and use the "Wrap Selection as Link" command. It takes the clipboard contents, filters it, and uses the result as the default URL in the link. However, if the URL from the clipboard already has escaped ampersands, TextMate will transform the entity as &amp; Clipboard Example: /some.php?option1=foo&option2=bar When the Wrap Selection as Link command is issued wtih this URL stored in memory, you get something like the following: <a href="/some.php?option1=foo&amp;option2=bar" target="_blank">some link</a> TextMate's default behavior may need to be adjusted so it checks for escaped ampersands in a URL before attempting to transform it.
