Here's a strange thing. I'm using ProFont, unaliased, and the tool tips
look weird. Attached is a screen capture showing the same output as
normal window text and tool tip text. Notice spacing issues and some
characters running together ("fi" of file), neither of which are a
problem under monaco.
I understand this probably because ProFont is just a somewhat roughly
built font, but weird and relevant enough I should share.
Q
This is a more detailed explanation of how the scope selector change
in rev961 has effected me, and how it will effect you.
say you have this example:
name = 'meta.test.comment';
match = '^\s\*\s.*';
and when you press return you want to insert a newline, space, and
asterisk to continue the comment (or whatever). A common snippet.
With the change in rev961 it is now necessary for the match string to be:
name = 'meta.test.comment';
match = '^\s\*\s.*\s*';
notice the "white-space character any number of times". This may be
obvious to more experienced programmers but to someone like me I had
forgotten that the '.*' search doesn't include newline characters. And
the previous version of TextMate was forgiving in this regard.
So I guess the change is a good thing. But I foresee lots of snippets
and macros breaking in not-so-great-coded languages because of this.
Just a heads up to you guys, check your code.
Good to see Allan and others checking in lots of changes to the Ruby
bundle lately. Is there any popular support to extending folding
markers to do/end, if/else, while loops etc. like we have in most
other language bundles?

Hello list,
I thought it was annoying to edit the Lighttpd configuraton file
using the Apache syntax, so I've made a small bundle for Lighttpd.
It's available at <http://amonre.org/pub/textmate/bundles/>.
This is my first attempt at a bundle, so don't expect much. It
contains nothing more than a syntax definition so far. No macros, no
snippets, etc yet.
Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Denis Defreyne

copied my project files over from another computer and the project opens
fine except the bookmarks are no longer there. where is the bookmark info
stored?
thanx....
Using TextMate 1.5.1 (948), I've observed some behavior that I wasn't
expecting. Specifically, when I set the command's input to Entire
Document, my command seems to get less than the entire document on
its stdin.
I'm curious whether anyone else is seeing the same thing. Here's an
easy way to test.
Create a new command (MyCommand) with the following settings:
Save: Nothing
Command(s): cat
Input: Entire Document
Output: Create New Document.
Unless I'm missing something, this command should simply copy the
command's input, the entire document, to a new document, using the
shell "cat" command. However, the command's input seems to begin at
the character immediately following the first ) character in the
document. If there is no ) in the document, nothing is copied.
I don't know if there is something specific to my environment that
may be causing it, or if it's a bug, but this behavior wreaks havoc
with the built-in Ruby "Run Script" command (which uses cat), causing
it to overwrite saved Ruby source files with less than their full
content.

Hi all,
FWIW, I put together a bundle for remind - it's probably pretty terrible
(I'm not to clear on language.element.naming) but since no one's done it yet
I thought I'd let you guys know. It seems to work ok, I'd welcome any input
and I can throw it in your svn if you like it.

Hello all, this is my first post here, feel free to point any mistake.
So… I installed Allan's Theme Builder bundle but it always spit the
same error message :
/tmp/temp_textmate.Z1KGTa:3:in `require': No such file to load -- set
(LoadError)
from /tmp/temp_textmate.Z1KGTa:3
Any idea what's causing this problem? Is it in TM or in Ruby?
My specs:
PM G5 2x1.8GHz
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Textmate 1.5.1 (v948)
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin7.8.0]
Thanks, Romain.
I am using TextMate Version 1.5.1 (961). Just noticed that a number
of built in keybindings no longer work. None of keybindings for
Text:Convert:to Uppercase, to Lowercase, etc. work (though selecting
the commands from the menu does). Autocompletion doesn't work either. :(
Any ideas about how to diagnose what is going on?
Thanks in advance. All the best, Mark

Hey folks,
I just hacked together a quick language grammar for LaTeX log files
to better see where things are odd ;)
Dan
PS: I am not really sure if the naming below makes sense from the
naming convention's viewpoint, but it does the job of generating markup.
{ scopeName = 'source.log.error.latex';
fileTypes = ( 'log' );
foldingStartMarker = '/\*\*|\(\s*$';
foldingStopMarker = '\*\*/|^\s*\)';
patterns = (
{ name = 'invalid.deprecated';
match = '.*Warning:';
},
{ name = 'invalid.illegal';
match = '.*Error';
},
{ name = 'entity.name.function';
match = '.*\.sty';
},
{ name = 'entity.name.class';
match = '.*\.cls';
},
{ name = 'entity.name.tag.configuration';
match = '.*\.cfg';
},
{ name = 'entity.name.tag.definition';
match = '.*\.def';
},
{ name = 'comment.documentation';
match = '.*Info.*';
},
{ name = 'meta.log.latex.fixme';
match = '.*FiXme:';
},
{ name = 'meta.log.latex.hyphenation';
begin = '(Overfull|Underfull)';
end = '(\[\]\n)';
captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.hyphenation.latex'; }; };
patterns = (
{ name = 'variable.parameter.hyphenation.latex2';
match = '[0-9]+\-\-[0-9]+';
}
);
},
{ name = 'meta.log.latex.filename';
begin = '(<)';
end = '(>)';
captures =
{ 1 = { name = 'string'; };
2 = { name = 'storage'; };
3 = { name = 'string'; };
};
patterns = (
{ name = 'support.function.with-arg.latex';
match = '(.*/.*.pdf)';
captures = { 1 = { name = 'entity.name'; };};
}
);
},
);
}
As far as I'm aware there isn't any way of optionally ignoring the
additional word characters specified in
Preferences when trying to select words.
I'm often wanting to copy, change or set search selection, part of a
variable name which doesn't include a dash, underscore, etc., though
most of the time I do want it to include those elements as part of a
single word.
One solution would be to use a modifier key: So, in my world, Cmd-Opt-
Shift + Right or Left arrow would ignore the additional word
characters and Cmd-Opt double-click and Cmd-Ctrl W would also work
the same way (there may be better modifiers!)
The alternative would be to toggle the additional word characters
option in the Edit menu, which would have the downside of not
allowing you to dynamically change your specification in mid-
selection, but may be simpler to implement.
I've wanted this for a long time and am surprised it hasn't been
suggested before (as far as I can remember) which probably means a)
that the functionality is there and I just haven't figured out how to
open my eyes yet, or b) it's a really crap idea.
Any thoughts?
James
I always download themes with safari, holding down option and
clicking, and it saves it with an appended .txt extension. Sure, I
can go in and rename it, but it's frustrating :)
Any thoughts.
Andreas
Duane,
since most people prolly manage their rails projects with subversion,
do you think you could add an --svn option for the Rails generators?
I guess, this little edit in generator.rb should do the job by simply
applying the --svn flag for all projects under subversion (testing
for .svn folder in the app root):
svn_option = File.exist?("#{rails_root}/.svn") ? "--svn" : ""
command = "\"script/generate\" #{generators[choice].name} #
{svn_option} #{name} #{options}"
Thanks,
Sebastian
Hi all,
Is anyone else seeing this?

Hi,
In html preview mode, how do you force the preview window to update elements
called by the document? (images .css files etc.)
In Safari, I would use cmd-R to refresh the window.
It would be nice if Textmate asked webkit to do a deep flush when you
clicked the refresh icon with a modifier key down.

Textmate hint of the day: cntrl-S gives you an incremental search (like / in
Firefox, or Safari if you install acid-search)
Hi,
After a lot of reading the documentation on textmate language
bundles, grammar and scopes and regular expressions, I (just|finally)
began making my own bundle for the cheetah templating language. My
first post on this list is the following question:
How can I name the scope from when I include an other language in my
language bundle?
To explain this a bit:
My quest comes forth out of an esthetic desire to color the
background of embedded html in the cheetah template, just like the
"Embedded source" scope 'text source, string.unquoted' can colorize
the embedded javascript or css in a html document.
In my cheetah language grammar I have a pattern:
{ name = 'source.embedded.html';
include = 'text.html.basic';
},
But in the document, the scope (ctrl shft P) just says
"source.cheetah", or "source.cheetah meta.tag.structure.any.html"
when my caret is within a html tag. I don't see anything of that name
'source.embedded.html' reflected in the scope.
Is it possible to give an embedded (or included) language an extra
scope layer name, so I can use that in a theme?
I tried 'source.cheetah source.embedded.html' but that didn't do
anything. For now I use 'source.cheetah meta', but that means I am
missing a lot of non-cheetah-html stuff, like html comments, or (in
html) embedded css or javascript.
I hope that my question is somewhat clear.
thnx
dirk

Enrico, if you want to look at adding or updating the doxgen bundle let me
know. I added it as a starting point, but have no feeling of ownership if
you want to take it over or extend it together let me know.
I use it very lightly and would love to see it get better.

Uh-oh!
As recommended, I've svn co'ed the bundles into my ~/Library TM
directory in anticipation of using svn to merge updates into my custom
stuff (bundle items).
However, I already *have* tons of custom stuff, so I tried merging my
old stuff into the svn working directory using rsync -au. I followed
this with some diff-ing to merge the language files and other conflicts.
The only stuff I didn't merge were all the UUIDs.
And as you can guess, some of my old stuff has reverted back to the
originals. Some stuff isn't showing up in the bundle editor (for
example, both files exist: "PHP if( ).plist" and "if .. (if).plist", but
the latter file is not available.
Any suggestions how to cleanly merge my old stuff into the svn co? Any
way to completely reset all UUIDs? (I've already tried deleting the
bundle Info.plist files, but the missing stuff doesn't appear...just
everything goes out of order.)
Q
Allan,
I am using "Edit in Textmate" for most of my emails now, but I am
finding out that there are some caveats that will kill your email
message; namely switching between windows and/or applications too
often results in your text being lost and not placed back into the
email when you close the TxtMte-Window. Right now I am placing the
email message into the clipboard as a backup, but clearly there is
something odd here ;)

#Wishlist
I would love to have a workflow like this:
* extract a listing of scopes from a bundle
* create a set of styles
* and then have a listing with styles on the left, scopes on the
right with some form of connectors between them to assogn styles OR
definitely some way to see which scopes have which styles applied
* (and possibly some way to easily change a *whole theme's colors*:
like convert all R values to G values… ;))
A thing I have noticed during my attempts to get some more specific
styling for my LaTeX stuff is that there are so many themes out now,
and so many bundles it is almost impossible to create a theme that
*really* applies to all languages. What would be very useful to try
and play with themes would be some way to assign relationships
between scope selectors for themes to substitute missing elements.
This would look like some list that a user or a bundle could provide
which says:
“if your theme does NOT know about meta.scope.obscure then please
have it handled like meta.scope.common, as these are related or at
least the style markup would indicate a similar importance.”
Possibly add some way of indicating those *placeholder* assignments
in the theme editor by creating blanks that could be filled in or so.
(This would in a way be similar to a situation where bundles do not
use their own but a limited namespace. But would also allow for a
much more sophisticated access for styling as well as for mixed
language situations or for purely aesthetic reasons [like in
Brilliance Black where you have different color “mini-themes” for
different bundles/languages]).
Am I still making sense?
Dan
PS: I do realize this will end up very low on the “wishlist” ;)
From one of today's TextMate Blog entries:
"By default, pressing ⌃H on a tag name will show the W3C
documentation for that tag, this also works for CSS selectors, PHP/
Ruby functions, Cocoa stuff, and outside of HTML, things for which
there is a manual page, etc.)"
Until today, I somehow never realized TextMate had this feature, and
I was happy to see it works for Java, too. At least, it's supposed
to. I can't get it to work. It seems that the command requires an
index.html file in the Java API docs directory, but on my Tiger
installation of Tiger (that is, Mac OS X 10.4 and Java 1.5/5.0),
there doesn't seem to be any index.html in that directory. There's an
index-files subdirectory, but no root index.html file. Is there
something wrong with my installation of Java?
Trevor
This Java program prints nothing when run using Compile & Run Single
File.
public class test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("<hello>");
}
}
Apparently the output is being squelched because it looks like
markup. Is there a way around this? Or is it just a bug?
Trevor
This seems like it should be obvious, but I can't work it out.
What do I set the Scope Selector to on a command I want to be available
everywhere? My first intuition is just to leave the Scope Selector field
blank, but it's not working.
I have several commands in the text bundle using apple-shift-option-P,
and one in the HTML bundle. While editing a HTML document when I hit
this key combo I only get the HTML command, not the others in the text bundle.
Hmmmm?
