This just started happening -- I *think* since the latest update
(1203) but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Almost every time I switch from some other app to TM, the cursor goes
beach ball on me for about 10 or 20 seconds before giving TM the
focus. It really sucks for web page development since I'm constantly
flipping between the browser and TM.
One thing that may be a factor is that my site is located on an AFP
share on another box on my network as a mounted volume. However, I
can edit using skedit with no trouble and no delay.
Any ideas?

Hi!
This issue has been bugging for quite some builds now. When using a
newer TextMate build, the current 1202 e.g., I can't get the test
cases of my Rails project to run from inside TextMate. This is what I
get when I try Command-R:
---- snip ----
RubyMate r4532 running Ruby v1.8.4 (/opt/local/bin/ruby)
>>> content_controller_test.rb
that’s nice
this is my important stuff
<strong>bad!</strong>

Obviously it isn't able to load the test classes correctly. My Ruby
installation is in /opt/local, installed with DarwinPorts, and all
it's libraries are installed there as well. I had a look at the
RubyMate code in the bundle, but on first look it doesn't appear to
be broken somehow. This stuff worked fine in TextMate build 1112 with
RubyMate r3391, though I realized a lot has changed in RubyMate since
then ;)
Any ideas? Or anyone else having similar issues?
Cheers, Mathias

Hi,
I'm just in the process of switching from BBedit... TextMate is a
great combination of Mac UI and Unix power :). There are a few
things I've found that could be improved:
i) Having all the commands in bundles can make it quite tricky to
find things. Not sure how to improve this. I almost want an obvious
'search all commands' command.
While browsing the list, I noticed someone else's feature
request for a 'what does this key combo do' feature. I'd like to
second that. And add a request for an 'open a window with a list of
all current key combos' feature.
ii) I'm used to having a shell open. As I move around I might
want to either open files in TextMate from the shell, or do something
in the shell to a file that is open in TextMate. This leads to two
strangenesses:
- If you use the 'mate' command in the shell to open a file,
then the file doesn't get added to the "Open Recent >" menu. I think
it should (perhaps as an option to 'mate', or a preference).
- If I already have a shell open, I want to drag the document
icon in the window title bar to the shell to get the path to the
document (as you can in the finder with folders). Now, I can open a
new shell with in the same directory, and I could make a command to
copy the path to the current file. I'd kinda like the drag-and-drop
OUT of textmate option though. (N.B. you can do this with icons in a
project. You just can't do it with an individual file's icon.)
iii) While looking for a solution to the 'drag out of textmate'
problem, I searched the list and found that I could drag out of a
project. But I already had the file I wanted to edit open. I didn't
have a shell in that dir (so I couldn't 'mate .') and I didn't have a
Finder window in that dir any more. I couldn't find a way to 'make a
new project with a currently open file'. I'm sure I could make a new
command to do this pretty quickly, but it seems like something that
should already be there, somewhere.
Anyway, thanks for a great product. :)

Hello,
I am working on a site in ColdFusion and I would like to mitigate
this experience by using TextMate as my editor. I found broken links
to a once-existant bundle for Textmate, but I have not been able to
track it down. If anyone still has this or any other ColdFusion
bundle for TextMate, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,

Hi,
at the moment I have to write some code in ancient Fortran77 (don't ask ;-) ).
I am nearly going nuts about the fixed column structure a Fortran77 source
code has to (at least in my case) obey to:
column function
1 comment sign (c,*)
1-5 statement label
6 continuation sign if line wrap in previous line
7-72 actual code
The problem is that this fixed source form makes it very hard to work with any
special tab stop size, even with "Soft tabs" turned on as I don't need to
access any column between 1-5, but instead would like to go from 1 to 6 to 7
(and vice versa!).
In emacs I would be able to specifiy a tab stop list, i.e. a list with the
actual columns a tab should bring me to, e.g.: 6, 7, 11, 15, 19...
Is there any way to simulate something in Textmate? I am tired of adding and
deleting spaces manually in order to obey to that structure.
I apologize if this has already been discussed, a search in the WiKi and the
archives didn't bring up anything.
Bye,
Carsten
BTW: Congrats for the award Allan, TextMate really deserved it!
Hey guys,
I just started working with TM and its great. Given time, its going to
make my work much faster.
In my company we've created a large number of custom JSP taglibs. I
would like to be able to add those taglibs to the HTML bundle (or more
accurately create a new bundle from the HTML bundle for this). I was
trying to get my head around the language definitions and I got
hopelessly lost. Is there a tutorial somewhere that I can use to
figure out how to do this?
Thanks
Adam
In the midst of all the "this is why I don't switch", and "I switched
and love it" stories, I thought - as a brief interruption of the real
work on this list - I'd share my 5 lines. I am registered user #81. I
bought TextMate literally six hours after BBEdit, and haven't unpacked
BB since. In fact, if you take a look at the Codingmonkeys website,
you'll find my name there, as well, mentioned in one or two places.
Nonetheless, it's TextMate I stuck with. Since that day I purchased
it, I know what I did with it -
- wrote close to 120,000 lines of code (wc -l over my local repository)
- taught myself two new programming languages
- wrote two books
- a PhD thesis
- edited another book
- and co-wrote an article for a Sociological magazine based on the PhD
thesis that got me a rather prestigious award.
- wrote close to 5,000 weblog and wiki pages and entries
- wrote all my email
- wrangled a 41,000 line dataset for the thesis using Ruby and a
specialized bundle
- coded Flexbar (an addon for World of Warcraft, just about THE addon)
- and proposed marriage (don't ask)
there you have it. Not sure many Mac editors can claim they've been
used that versatilely.
Probably an easy question here. I'm trying to use the "Wrap selection
as link" HTML bundle, which has a key command of control-shift-L. I
copy a URL to my clipboard, wrap the text, and pressing those keys
does nothing. I even tried changing the shortcut, and it still didn't
work. Is there something I'm missing?

If the HTML Bundle gets something like:
{ name = 'text.html.txp';
match = '(</txp:.*?>|<txp:.*?>|<txp:.*?\s{,8}/>|<txp:([a-z]{3})_.*?/?>)';
},
then I wouldn't have to include a whole clone of the HTML Bundle.
Wouldn't that also make it more compatible with the rest of the Bundle
Suite?
It's the HTML Bundle that interferes, I couldn't find any way to tell
the HTML Bundle not to match TXP tags.

The HTML ones. I tried This:
1)I deleted the UUID from the cloned html Bundles(assorted ones),
since that didn't led to any change, I tried:
1) I discarded all bundles, included the TXP bundle that I had created
and left in the Bundle Editor.(I did that manually, not from the Bundle
Editor)
2)I SVN updated all bundles, reloaded Bundles from command line
Since that didn't lead to any change, I double clicked on the HTML
Bundle in /Library/Applicationsupport/Bundles , but no luck.

Hello,
For my work I need to do quite some copy and pasting of ip-numbers.
If I have a logfile open in TextMate and doubleclick an ip it will
only select the parts between the . and not the entire ip.
Would anyone happen to know a workaround, a macro or a fix?
Thanks in advance for any advice you have :)

... Be a rebel. Accept your body.
When I open an existing project the directory structure appears in
the drawer while the currently selected file contents appears within
the window (which is blank when you first open an existing project).
If I have the root project folder selected (text window still blank)
I am unable to get the status of the subversioned folder ('svn
status'). In order for me to get the status of the project I must
open at least one file and then select the root project folder again
and then I can get the status. This is true for other subversion
commands as well (you need at least one file open in order to perform
subversion commands on your project).
Is this behaviour intentional? I feel like subversion commands
should work independent of whether files are open or not .. it should
work on the files/folders in the project drawer only.

Yay, for Allan, and everyone involved. i really do believe this is
totally deserved, i LOVE this App. so glad i bought it, even though i
don't have much use for it these days, apart form adding my "<a

alt="Axman6" style="border: 0px;"/></a>" signature (hope that works
:s) to things, with an 'Al.' tab-trigger. but whenever i have to do
any work on my site, I'm very thankful for the Awesome TextMate.
Thanks again Allan

I'm trying to setup TextMate to automatically wrap after 72 columns, but
not having any luck. I disabled soft wraps and set the wrap columns to
72, but TM v1.5.3 is not wrapping as I type. If I select 'Reformat
Paragraph' then the wrapping works as expected.
Am I missing something?
-Ryan
TextMate is one of the best editors I have used on the Mac, and things
like its macros, snippets, and tab triggers almost make me switch right
away. Especially column-based typing is awesome.
However, there are a couple of limitations that are important enough for
me to keep me from switching. In rough order of importance:
- Function parser is line-based
The functions popup or the symbol browser (Command-Shift-T) work
line-based, i.e. they don't recognize functions such as
void foo(
int param1,
int param2)
{
}
We have a coding style that requires this layout for most functions,
so the function popup/symbol browser is next to useless for us.
I understand that this is because the regular expression based
function parser can only work line by line, but still this is one of
the most severe limitations for me.
- Loses insertion point when document is changed by another app
If another application changes a document that is currently open in
TextMate, TextMate notices this when you bring it to the front, and
reloads the changed document. This is good; however, it loses track of
where you were editing, and scrolls all the way to the top, setting
the insertion point to the beginning of the text. I suppose this is
intentional, because an existing selection may no longer be at the
right place after the other application inserted or deleted text
before the selection; however, in the majority of cases it makes more
sense to me to keep the current selection and scroll position, even if
it may be slightly off. For example, when I use TextMate for coding
but Xcode for debugging, I often fix minor typos in the Xcode editor
while debugging, and it is very annoying to have to go back to where
you were editing in TextMate after that.
- Find has no "whole words only" option
I must be missing something here. This seems like such as basic
feature of any serious text editor.
- Option-RightArrow stops too often
When stepping word by word through a sequence such as "abc / def",
Option-RightArrow stops after 'abc' (which is fine), and then it stops
*before* 'def', which is not; it should directly jump to after 'def'.
In other words, it should jump from one end of a word to the end of
the next word, skipping all non-words. Xcode and CodeWarrior do this
right (in my opinion); in BBEdit it's even worse than in TM though.
- Bundle commands should be available without an open window
Some bundle commands are already available now when no window is open
(e.g. "Relaunch TextMate"), but they don't do anything when chosen.
For some commands this would be very useful though (e.g. Xcode/Run, or
most Help commands).
- Undo is per-character
Typing sequences should be consolidated into a single undo step.
Doesn't anybody use undo for typing? This is basically unusable in
TextMate.
- Shift Left/Right should extend the selection to whole lines
I often put the insertion point somewhere in the middle of the first
line of a paragraph, hit Shift-DownArrow until I'm in the middle of
the last line of the paragraph, and then choose Shift Right; this will
insert a tab in the middle of the first line, which makes absolutely
no sense to me. Same for "Source/Comment Line". I think these
commands should first extend the selection to the beginning of the
first and end of the last selected line; I can't think of a single
situation where you wouldn't want this. BBEdit gets this right.
- Remap keys for Shift Left/Right
If there's a multi-line selection, I'd like Tab and Shift-Tab to be
bound to Shift Right/Shift-Left. I see no reason why I should have to
hold down Option too.
- Control-RightArrow should jump by CamelCaps sub-words
Right now, Ctrl-Left/Right jump to the beginning/end of the line;
there's already Command-Left/Right for that, so I think
Ctrl-Left/Right would be free to jump over the sub-words of a
CamelCapsVariableName. See Xcode.
- Show key binding for a particular key
With all those bundles and scope-based bindings, it can be very
difficult to figure out what command a particular key is currently
bound to in the current context. There's the Bundles/TextMate/Show
Keyboard Shortcuts command, but it generates a huge list that you have
to wade through. It would be very useful to have a function that lets
you type a key and displays what it is bound to.

Hi everybody,
I'm working on Microsoft Windows clone of TextMate: Intype. Intype is
compatible with some types of bundle items, such as grammars. I wonder,
if licensing of these bundle items permit to use them in Intype. I just
can't find license for them. :(

hi.
i just implemented this hint [1] for commenting out rhtml-parts.
perhaps its a good idea to put that into the official bundle.

This is a great step in the right direction in making all this random
stuff more a part of the app.
Maybe we should implement this as a custom output option. So that you
could have both HTML Output Window BASIC and HTML Output Window
THEMED (or whatever). That way you get that whole header and footer
and theme switcher and whatever for free.
Custom Nibs?
We could implement it as a custom nib instead of having to rely on
doing all this junk in HTML and javascript.
If we're going to do that, we could start making our own custom nib
outputs.
An HTML preview output for with some mini-browser functionality could
easily replace the Live Preview window.
A commit window-esque output could be used for a bunch of stuff.
Hmm, maybe that's a bad idea.

Thanks Haris, that did the trick. And I figured you were on vacation,
since you're usually right on top of these things ;)
Hope you had a good one, and thanks again for fixing this.
