I am really liking the Blogging Bundle in Textmate. It makes posting
an entry to my blog really handy when something comes to me that I
would like to post.
The one thing I am looking for is a way while I am in the Blogging
Markdown template to be able to get tags and such to create
automatically and something like a command completion for the headers
to save time on typing or if I just am not able to remember if it is
Keywords or keyword.
If it is already there how do I access it.
TIA

hi, thanks to the ever-so-cool "Get Bundle" bundle, i have the GTD
bundle installed.
I think this will be very nice.
Thought: when items are marked "d", the command strips the first 5
characters and prefixes the line-item with "done"
this loses what type of item was being handled. I wonder if simply
adding done in front might be better?
then the "done" list, can also preserve the types of things done.
So... given
EMAIL list about how great GTD is
I'd rather see
--> DONE: EMAIL list about how great GTD is
Instead of
--> DONE list about how great GTD is
Currently, this stuffs up the "Show..list" commands, as they detect
the item types even if they have DONE in front of them. The regexp
could either look for DONE and exclude those lines, or else require
that the item type is the first character of the line.
Other comments...
1. I wonder if Buy could have a default syntax like:
BUY ${1:new purchase} from: ${2:business} cost: \$${3:99}
2. Because email exists as an item type on its own, it seems like
"task" (should this
be called TODO?) item should not have email as the default?
TODO ${1:new email}
Not sure what would be better.
3. I wonder if the "Show list" parser could detect e-mail addresses
and wrap them in <a href=""></a> tags?
4. It would be nice, i think, if the "d" tab completion also post-
fixed the item with the current date
--> DONE: EMAIL list about how great GTD is (7/6/06:7pm)
Maybe done items could be parsed by done date and/or type of item and
project file?
If the items were just dumped into a table with type, file, and date
columns, there are nice little chunks of jscript that automagically
make such tables sortable.

Hi,
I've had this happen a couple of times now. I have an AFP volume
mounted and after doing some editing, I closed all the files then
attempted to dismount the volume.
The Finder gives a message saying that it couldn't because there was a
file open. I used the 'lsof' command and it does look like TextMate
does still have something open:
john$ lsof | grep wwwsps
TextMate 735 john cwd VDIR 44,7 772 117658
/Volumes/wwwsps/schools/Surveys/athleticsreg
Is there any way to get TextMate to "let go" and let me dismount the
volume? Sure, I can quit TextMate, but that seems a little extreme..
Thanks,
jt

Exactly, since I have a specific project that I work on from the
original folder, not projects.
So when I exclude a folder in this context, does it get excluded from
updating ?

Should I then use this option.The basic tree does not change, and I use

Hi All,
I am using the latest build of TextMate 1070. If I make a project
based on a folder and then delete some files within a folder
(references only), when I reopen the project the 'deleted' files are
back. This seems like a bug to me, since surely the files should
remain absent from the project. Has anybody else encountered this
problem?

Is there a way to set up a snippet so that some of the lines are
flush at the left margin and others are at the correct tab stops?
For instance, I like to have #ifdef at the left margin instead of
tabbed in, any way to set this up in a snippet?
When I convert a multi-markdown document to PDF, all of the
apostrophe's are removed. Does this happen to anyone else? Does
anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Steve

Hello,
For the first time since registering I've managed to spend a day
entirely in TextMate and all in all I really enjoyed it!
I'm writing here as there are a couple points I could use some help
with:
1. Static Gutter? Is there any way to turn this on? I had a look
round but couldn't find any pref's for it. I really prefer to be
able to see line numbers etc. at all times.
2. I'm sure when I first downloaded TextMate I could type Obj-C
messages [object message] and although TM automatically inserted the
closing bracket (]) if I typed it TM kindly overwrote the existing
one. Now I find it inserting a new pair of brackets ([ ]). I'm not
sure if this was me playing around with snippets or if the behaviour
has changed in a recent(ish) build.
If anyone can help me with these two things I'd be highly grateful.
Best,

[FIXED] The menu to disambiguate bundle items should now work
correctly with multi monitor setups.
Works fine here.
[NEW] Tab triggers are now rendered right-aligned in the menus and
with some visual ornaments that are supposed to make them
distinctive. It is no longer necessary to put the tab trigger in the
items title, to get it rendered -- in fact this is now deprecated. I
am aware that the items with tab triggers are shown in the normal
menu font size when using the gear menu from the status bar.
Love it! Any chance the tree view in the bundle editor could
similarly show shortcuts and tab triggers?

hello :)
1) I would like to know if somebody tried to make a bundle for gnuplot
2) is it possible to make a bundle for gnuplot ?
3) Which are the difficulties ? Which is the best method to start to
make a bundle ?
Thanks

I just discovered TextMate I am liking it a lot. I will mainly be
using it for LaTeX and I have it working nicely with TeXShop as my
previewer. With that said, I am writing a large textbook in which I
have created new definitions for \subsection and \subsubsection,
which are called \Subsection and \Subsubsection, respectively.
Unfortunately, the function pop-up menu does not show these as they
begin with a capital "s" rather than a lower-case "s". I have looked
in the symbol list for the LaTeX bundle and I see:
/* preferences */
{ showInSymbolList = 1;
symbolTransformation = '
s/(?<=\\|sub)sub/ /g; # replace all leading "sub" with
an em-space
s/^\\( *)section(?:\[[^]]*\])?\{(.+)\}/$1$2/; # then strip all
but em-space + name
';
}
I must confess that I don't know enough of what appears to be regular
expression syntax to make the bundle recognize my commands. Can
someone tell me what I need to change in the above definition to get
the behavior I desire?
Thank you,
-- Gary L. Gray
I noticed that when something is selected in TextMate and you right-
click *anywhere* in the document the pop-up menu contains items
referring to the selection (filer thru command, etc.). This strikes
me as odd because it's not how the rest of the OS behaves.
Everywhere else (that I know of) re-focuses the selection depending
on where you right-click. If you right-click in the existing
selection you are shown options for that selection, but if you right-
click outside the current selection the selection re-focuses and
moves to the word that was clicked on.
While this not really a big deal, it's caused me some confusion when
trying to correct spelling when some other bit of text is selected.
I've even gone so far as to unconsciously make sure to always select
the word I'm trying to spell-check.
I personally would prefer if the behavior was in-line with the rest
of the OS, but I could imagine there would be some cases when this is
not desirable.
Was this a design choice? What are the benefits of this?

Is there a way (if not consider it a feature request) to dynamically
include a syntax in a syntax?
What I am getting at is here-docs and similar constructs that contain
another syntax. For example it would be cool if for example in perl I
could write:
print <<"text.xml.plist";
# some xml property list here
text.xml.plist
and it would just apply the text.xml.plist syntax to the here-doc.
I know I can hard-code it in a 'meta' syntax, but that gets
bothersome...

Hi everyone. I just started using TextMate today and I've run into a
little problem. I've noticed that my Shell Variables (as set in the
Preferences) aren't loaded properly when I use templates. For
example, I'd kind of like to mimic Xcode's built-in templates. To do
this, I've modified the Java Class template to look more like:
//
// ${TM_NEW_FILE_BASENAME}.java
//
// Created by ${TM_USERNAME} on ${TM_DATE}.
// Copyright (c) ${TM_YEAR} ${TM_ORGANIZATION_NAME}. All rights
reserved.
//
...
and I've updated the script associated with that template to look
like this:
export TM_YEAR=`date +%Y`
export TM_DATE=`python -c 'import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print "%s/%s/%s" % (now.day, now.month, now.year)
'`
export TM_USERNAME=`niutil -readprop / /users/\$USER realname`
perl -pe 's/\$\{([^}]*)\}/$ENV{$1}/g' \
< class-insert.java > "$TM_NEW_FILE"
All of this works fine, except ${TM_ORGANIZATION_NAME} isn't being
replaced correctly. It works fine for Code Snippets, but not in
Templates. If I add
env >> "$TM_NEW_FILE"
to the end of the script, TM_ORGANIZATION_NAME isn't listed. Is this
a bug or a known issue? I've searched Google, TextMate's bug list,
and the list archives, but I can't find any mention of the issue. I
would appreciate any help in resolving the problem... it's a minor
nuisance to an otherwise great application.

Seems that there still is some odd problem with syntaxes depending on
other syntaxes. I just got this:
2006-06-05 13:16:55.842 TextMate[5366] didn't find rule named
source.open-gl
2006-06-05 13:16:55.842 TextMate[5366] didn't find rule source.open-gl
Odd thing is to my knowledge I never edited anything that had
anything to do with open-gl...

Hi all, I just started using TextMate (long time emacs user), and
thought I would post to let people know that I'm developing a bundle
for IDL (Interactive Data Language http://www.ittvis.com/idl/index.asp).
Current features :
Syntax Highlighting : Keywords, builtin routines, system
variables, system commands
Folding
Indenting
Recognizes a program's function names and parameters
IDL documentation search :
open IDL's builtin HTML help libraries
search IDL's builtin HTML help libraries
run DOC_LIBRARY to build help files
tab completion for common control forms
new program template
I've posted it at http://aster.colorado.edu/software/IDL.tmbundle.zip
and if I can get subversion access, I'll put it in the repository, or
somebody else can, but I'm not done with it yet... which brings me to
my next point...
I wonder if it is possible to keep a persistent process open in the
background and send commands to it. I'm not sure how IDLWAVE http://
www.idlwave.org does this for emacs, I'm afraid that emacs runs a
complete shell of its own... I suppose this could be done with a
separate program that just passes information back and forth, but
that seems inelegant (and more difficult than it needs to be). All I
need to do is start a process, pass strings to it as standard in, and
read standard out and error from it. I could see this kind of
groundwork being useful to far more than just IDL, it should work
with any interpreted language that has an interactive mode (ruby,
matlab, ...), and many debuggers for that matter (gdb at least).
If this turns out to be relatively easy to do, I would also like to
inquire about the status of a plugin API. The web page says more is
likely to be done here, has anything been done? Eventually I might
want to write a simple plugin that talks to the IDL process and
highlights associated lines in the editor window (and possibly add a
GUI for querying and displaying variables). Again, this seems like
something that a wide array of programming languages would benefit
from having a framework for (hint, hint :-) ).

Allan,
Here is an updated version of the "AES Encrypt Document / Selection With
Password..." command. It uses secure-inputboxs and asks to verify the
entered password.
Decrypt version also needs secure-inputbox, but obviously not the
verification.
Q

res=$(CocoaDialog secure-inputbox --title "Encrypt Text With AES 128" --
informative-text "What password should be used?" --text "" --button1
"Continue" --button2 "Cancel")
[[ $(head -n1 <<<"$res") == "2" ]] && exit_discard
passwd=$(tail -n1 <<<"$res")
res=$(CocoaDialog secure-inputbox --title "Encrypt Text With AES 128" --
informative-text "Enter password again to verify." --text "" --button1
"Encrypt" --button2 "Cancel")

Hello, to all,
I haven't been able to continue my threads due to some serious Issues in
TB mail client
In fact the only solution was to subscribe again.
That's why I am opening a new thread.
Sorry for that.
In the meanwhile I had the chance to scan the archives for valuable
information on this subject and I indeed found most of the missing
pieces of the puzzle.
I finally came to understand, the syntax used in those plist files.
I have started a second version of the grammar that is mostly derived
from the syntax model used in the experimental Html Bundle, except it
doesn't use a full tree, that resolves to an exclusive root node with
recursive
references.
Instead it requires an include value for each tag in the repository ,
while the custom attributes and values are only referenced from the
repository items (I'll see if I can group them later).
I have done it that way, since I came to realize, that any attempt to
follow the example in the experimental XHTML Grammar, would have been:
1)Unsuitable for the current meta language
2)Too complex for this purpose.
Yes I have been scanning those thousands of lines of code over and over
again and Tm makes that very convenient with all it's search
functionality, bookmarks and so on.
I like that modularity approach of the syntax and try to see, if I can
adapt it to my needs.
Before I proceed to finally construct the Language from the core module
that I have, I started asking myself, weather I have followed the right
strategy ,and if not, well. there is always enough time to adapt.
There are however a couple of questions that turned up, that I hope,
some of you might be able to answer.
1)How do I insert a snippet inside a snippet ?
I'd like to tab through a code block, that I have, at certain variable
insertion points, I have other snippets, that I call through tab
triggers,that again have variables that need to get inserted
into the first snippet, and after the last variable of the second
snippet the cursor shall return one newline after the last insertion
point of the last variable of the first snippet,or the zero variable.
How do I do that ?
(Command ?, macro?)
EDIT.: I've had a couple of inconsistencies with using snippets in snippets,
sometimes it didn't trigger if the Insertion point was a nested variable
with two placeholders itself, then backspacing would swallow the last
character of the
tabtrigger keyword of the second snippet.
Oh, well, it worked after a couple of keystrokes.
2)Key bindings
After realizing that certain key bindings are lost after the previous
update, I am not able to use certain custom key bindings,
I'm not able to recall right now, which ones they are.
How can I reset the key bindings for TM system wide ?
3)FoldingStopmarkers and FoldingStartmarkers not working.
I can't get those going, I use the following code (All most Identical
with the html bundle):
foldingStartMarker = '(?x)
(<txp:(?i:comment_permlink|file_download_link|if_article_author|if_article_category|if_article_list|if_article_section|if_author|if_category|if_comments|if_comments_allowed|if_comments_disallowed|if_comments_error|if_custom_field|if_different|if_excerpt|if_first_article|if_individual_article|if_last_article|if_plugin|if_search|if_section|if_status|link_to_home|link_to_next|link_to_prev|newer|older|permlink|php)\b.*?>

4)Bookmarks: How can I make them consistent after closing and reopening
a file?(on my Install id didn't work)
Again I apologize for not answering my previous topics and I thank
anyone who answers this post in advance.
best regards, marios
Before I run into the risk of damaging my files, I couldn't really
figure out what to enter in the dialog box, when I open it from the
drawers info button on the tool bar.
I have a folder which I want to exclude from updating which is below the
root of my project folder.
Do I have to enter the name of that folder in the name box , and then
alter the RE ?
According to the manual, if I alter the default pattern from:
!.*/(\.[^/]*|CVS|_darcs|\{arch\}|blib|.*~\.nib|.*\.(framework|app|pbproj|pbxproj|xcode(proj)?|bundle))$
To :
!.*/(\.[^/]*|CVS|_darcs|\{arch\}|blib|.*~\.nib|.*\.(MY_EXCLUDED_FOLDER|framework|app|pbproj|pbxproj|xcode(proj)?|bundle))$
Can I be sure, that the Folder will not be altered ?
(I know, I could test against, it, by doing "find in project, but I'd
like to know also, what the other dialog options mean, and what it does
behind the scenes, when I concurrently move files and Folders around,
and update in the meanwhile.)
What function does the "Save as absolute path" check box have in this
context ?
Sorry for bothering again,
best regards, and many thanks in advance, marios
I am using a TM Project because I need to set a few project-local
variables. Projects files, “.tmproj”s, are serialized to a single xml
file, and included is information about window settings (position,
size, drawer open?). For example, when you move the project window,
your VCS will mark it as changed. This is very annoying.
Xcode solves this problems my separating the “project” and the
project window settings, all contained inside a directory/
XcodeProject.xcodeproj/
project.pbxproj <----- The _real_ project file.
myusername.mode1 <---- other stuff.
myusername.pbxuser <---- more stuff.

Hi,
I using the latest build, and I just noticed something. If I close a
file and don't want to make changes, I usually just hit CMD-W then
CMD-D for Don't Save. Now, when I hit CMD-D, instead of choosing the
button in the dialog sheet, a menu is popped up:
Push to default repository 1
Diff 2
What's New 3
etc. Looks like something for a version control, but I can't find the
key shortcut (hmm.. would be nice to be able to search for a
keystroke... there's a lot of commands in that bundle menu :)
Thanks. (I will enter a ticket if need be.

I'm sure somebody here knows the answer to this, although it's not
specifically related to TextMate.
I'm adding a key equivalent to TextMate's Window -> Zoom menu item with
the following:
defaults write com.macromates.textmate NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add
'Zoom' '@~/';
The result? It works...but it zooms ALL open windows simultaneously. If
you select Window -> Zoom with the mouse (or click the "+" window
widget) only the TOP window zooms.
Huh!?
I know this is not a TextMate specific "problem" because the same
behavior exists with Terminal.
Q
As noted in the release notes for r1060, there is indeed a problem
with dual-headed setups. If the editor window is on the secondary
monitor, the menu is displayed on the primary monitor (in the correct
screen location, just on the wrong screen). On the plus side, if the
editor is on the main monitor the menu works properly... This is on a
MacBook running 10.4.6.
