- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Eric Coleman

I hate feeling like a pest, and was curious if there was a formal place to post bugs. What I noticed is that when you use the SVN bundle, if you pop open the menu on a selected file in the project drawer, you -must- have a file already open or you get no menu ;) Sorry to be a pain :p Eric Coleman home: 412 399 1024 cell: 412 779 5176

Ruby bundle - any way to do bang version of snippets?

by Carl Youngblood

I notice that there are a lot of great snippets in the ruby bundle, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do the self-modifying versions of these methods. For example, there is collect, but not collect! Thanks, Carl

Shift-Tab to align a block of code

by Jim Leask

In other text editors (in my pre-mac days), I very commonly used the block editing feature to quickly align code. I would use a regular expression match/replace to insert in a bunch of whitespace where I need it, then block select where I want the column to start and shift- tab to squeeze all of the text back into a nice column. TextMate does most of the above quite nicely, with the exception of the shift-tab. Shift-tab does not shift everything left, eventually squeezing out the whitespace and leaving a nicely aligned column. Can I do this somehow, and if not could it be added? (I really miss this feature) Thanks... Jim Leask

Question to LaTeX bundle users

by Charilaos Skiadas

Hey all, sorry for the mass email. If you are not using the LaTeX bundle, you can safely ignore the rest. I am currently working on the various completion commands in the latex bundle, and I am considering dropping bibdesk support in the completion commands in the following way: Instead of asking bibdesk for the completion list, I have a command read that does the following: It collects a list of bib files from the following locations: 1. the files pointed to by the environment (or project specific) variable TM_LATEX_BIB, space separated (use quotes if the filename contains spaces). 2. If either the file pointed to by the variable TM_LATEX_MASTER, or the current document (if saved), or both, contain any text of the form \bibliography{bibfile}, it adds this bibfile to the list of bib files to examine. It scans all these bib files for the cite keys, and uses those for completion. It will look for titles for the pop-up menu. So there will be (actually there already are) two commands, one that works with Esc (normal completion) and one that brings up a pop-up of possible completions. The above will be faster than calling Bibdesk through applescript. And you can of course still create citations by dragging them items from Bibdesk and dropping them in textmate. The main question is whether calling Bibdesk has any advantages compared to the approach I outlined above, and whether the approach above misses something. Your feedback would be much appreciated.

List of default key bindings?

by Yuri van der Meer

Hi everyone, I'll be getting a Mac in the near future, and am completely convinced that TextMate will become my text editor from day 1. Until then however, I would really like to get used to the key commands that TextMate uses (by default), to make the transition as smooth as possible. Basically, I want to mimic TextMate's key bindings in my current Windows editor, Komodo. I've been using 'Emacs shortcuts' in Komodo for a while now, but I understand that Textmate's key bindings are not completely similar to Emacs (and I am sure Komodo's 'Emacs' key bindings are not 100% similar to the real Emacs either). Is there a complete list of all default TextMate key bindings somewhere? Also, I've seen messages come by about 'key bindings for switchers' on this list, but that seems to be focused on people trying to emulate Windows key bindings in TextMate... Is there anyone that has tried the opposite, like I would like to do? Sincerely, Yuri van der Meer

open document in another app

by Oliver Taylor

I'm trying to write a command that will open the current document in an external app, here is what I've got: open -a Final\ Draft\ 7 $TM_FILEPATH The problem I'm having is that the FilePath (as constructed by TextMate) does not insert "\" before a space, thus the command in question is unable to find documents with spaces in the filenames to pass on to the external app. Is there another way to do it? What am I missing?

[req]: Ctrl-T should see <space> as a directory separator, and not ignore it.

by Alain Ravet

Request: The Ctrl-T action should see the space as a - directory - separator, and not bluntly ignore it. (except if some files names contain a space) Example /store/index.html /cart/index.html /client/index.html Command 1: [Ctrl-T] + "in" => displays index.html - store index.html - cart index.html - client Command 2: [Ctrl-T] + "in cl" => SHOULD filter and display index.html - client Alain

matching parenthesis &quotes, change all in selection

by Jonathan Waddilove

Hi, I'm a very new user of TextMate and it seems to be just what I have been looking for. However, I do have a couple of questions that I haven't managed to resolve from the documentation, Wiki, mail list, etc. 1. Is there a way to highlight (or move the cursor to) a matching parenthesis, bracket, quote mark, etc? 2. Also, could some kind person step me through the process of Change All In selection? I seem to keep ending up with a change all in document.... many thanks in advance - Jonathan

Ruby bundle: bug in toggle between single and multiline block

by Carl Youngblood

I tried the toggle between single and multline block with the following block: domains.each do |d| f[1].sub!(/^#{d[0]}$/, d[1]) end It converted it into a single line block just fine, but when I toggled it back to multiline I got this: domains.each do |d| f[1].sub!(/^#{d[0] end$/, d[1]) } Haven't yet examined the bundle regex but figured I'd post it in case someone wanted to know.

Newbie question on snippets

by Carl Youngblood

I'm trying to maximize my use of textmate. One of the first things I'm doing is looking through the ruby bundle to see what snippets I can use. I first noticed the hash key/val snippet, which starts with a colon. The first thing it does is highlight the key so that I can type in a new key. The next thing it does is highlight the sample string so that I can type in something different. However, I'm having trouble typing something in at this point. If I want to edit the string inside, is there a key I can type that will put the caret inside the quotes? If want to edit the string contents, I have to move my cursor over then back. If I start typing, it erases the quotes. If I type quotes, it surrounds the quotes in another set of quotes. Is this behavior there because the snippet writer assumed I would not always want to put strings in the hash buckets? This is understandable, but as a shortcut for creating symbol/string combinations it is actually quite tedious. I figured maybe I was missing some secret keyboard shortcut that would put me inside a fresh set of empty quotes instead of the sample that is highlighted. Thanks, Carl

Run script command in ruby bundle

Best way to edit remote folders?

by Dev Purkayastha

What's the best way you've found to open some remote folders/files in TextMate? * the files are kept remotely on a Linux box * there is SSH (and presumably SFTP) access; I'm not sure if there's Samba access enabled * I want to be able to use the built in Subversion tools * I absolutely want to use the various "project" features of TextMate that I'd get if I open a folder with TextMate I briefly tried using Cyberduck, but that would only let me open individual files (rather than whole folders). Any suggestions? -d

drag and drop selection out of TextMate

by Michael Larocque

Hi all, Is there a way to select some text in TextMate with the mouse, then drag it to another application? What I'm trying to do is grab some text out of TextMate and create a note in Yojimbo by dragging it to a folder in Yojimbo's Drop Dock. I'm trying not to copy/switch app/ create note/paste. Is there any way of doing this? I hope I'm not missing something obvious.

New Bundle: Markdown2Book

by Soryu

Good Morning :) I put together and polished some commands Allan made in order to get the TextMate Documentation under way. As I worked on a documentation project at the same time, I used his scripts, bundled them and adapted them a little to my needs. If you are curious as to what happens behind the scenes… Here it goes. This bundle is for compiling a Documentation project made of several Markdown files to HTML. It generates a TOC, a print version with all chapters on one page and HTML files for each chapter. You can use references to easily link between your pages. I appended the bundle “Markdown2Book” plus, as an example how to use it, the first three chapters of the TextMate manual. Have fun, Soryu. PS: For quick reference the Help file from the bundle (also available from the bundle itself via the “Readme” command): # Setup You will need a TextMate Project (a Scratch Project will do) to make this work. ## Structure The following files & folders are needed: * `pages` This is where all your markdown files go. You need to make a new file for each chapter. It should have one first level heading which will be used for the name of the chapter (in the Table of Contents, for the Navigational Links & in the HTML title). The files in the `pages` directory are converted to HTML (using Markdown and SmartyPants) with the _Generate_ Command. They have to be in the right order, so they have to be named beginning with numbers followed by a space or an underscore (as seen in the included example). This prefix will be stripped by the Generate Script. * `html` The generated files will go here. * `index.html`: Table of Contents from which you can navigate to all chapter. * `all_pages.html`: A single files with all chapters. This is mainly for printing and it uses the `print.css` Stylesheet. * `*.html`: Every chapter has it's own file. Also this folder holds two links to the css and images folder. When "deploying" your compiled book, just replace these by the actual folders. * `templates` This folder contains three html templates. Adapt them to your needs. * `all.rhtml`: template for the `all_pages.html` file which contains all your chapters. * `chapter.html`: template for each chapter * `toc.html`: template for the `index.html` file containing the Table of Contents * `css` This folder contains the stylesheets (`stylesheet.css` and `print.css`). Adapt those as you like. The default style resembles the [TextMate Manual](http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/). * `images` This folder should hold all your images. When the book is generated `height` and `width` HTML attributes are added to the images. The source path could be changed, too, to make it absolute. ## References You can use reference style links (`[link description][link id]`) in your text. There is a command _Update References_ that will collect them from all `.markdown` files in the `pages` folder and write them to a file `markdown.references` in the project root. It notifies you of missing or duplicate entries via a Tooltip. You can then edit this file and insert the link targets within your text. The _Generate_ Script will add `id` attributes to your headings, so you can reference them directly. Is converts some characters (`- \/_`) to underscores and strips non-alphanumeric characters afterwards. I wrote a command _Show References_ that brings up a dialog with all the references from the `markdown.references` file and inserts a reference snippet. ## Generation process The _Generate_ Command is a Ruby Script, which does some transformation, constructs the Table of Contents and runs all your Markdown files through [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/ markdown/), [SmartyPants](http://daringfireball.net/projects/ smartypants/) (for good Typography) and the Image-Script. <hr /> > Credits to Allan for writing the initial version of all this. I, Soryu, bundled it up in a TextMate bundle and added/polished some stuff.

TextMate garbling up my website?

by Kris Herlaar

Hi guys, i've been a textmate user since i developed a shopping cart system for a non profit website that bought me a license because i refused money. I absolutely love textmate. Just about an hour ago though, i made a little change in a database class i use on my own website, only edited one file and suddenly strange things happen on a couple of pages where the class is used (front page and news page) textmate remembers where i've put the caret in a file, but now it shows that info on my website (without being able to find the text in there anywhere) I work on the site over an AFP connection, i've tried everything i could think of to get rid of it to no avail. anyone have any idea what's going on and/or how to get rid of that one line of awkward text? the site is on http://www.theredhead.nl, the line of text that's bothering me is: &7{"com.macromates.caret" = "{column = 0; line = 0; }"; } hope someone can help me here. Kind regards, Kris

Re: Re: save file AFTER command has been run?

by Jim Bagrow

Thanks for the tip! Always a pleasure to avoid applescript... I actually tried that before and couldn't get it to work. The problem seems to be that saving from the menubar (or from the keyboard shortcut) is not recorded during the macro. Do macros only record automations (snippets, commands, etc.) or do I have something setup wrong? I couldn't find this documented anywhere. I ended up getting around this by defining ANOTHER command that saves the current file but then does nothing, then recording a macro where I execute both actions. Seems to work great, except it doesn't seem to be saving new files, so I have to just save it twice the first time. Not a problem for me, personally. Oh course, it's ugly to have two commands and a macro sitting around in a bundle, when there really should be only one. Anyone else think it might be useful to have a ''save after'' check box or something in the command window? Thanks again, Jim

spinning beach ball for 20+ seconds

by Wolter Rose

Hello, I am new to this list, so this question may have been asked before. Since TextMate 1.5 I keep getting a spinning beach ball for 20+ seconds so often that it makes using TextMate very cumbersome. Are my documents too long (2000+ lines)? Are there too many files in my projects? Am I using the wrong color scheme (iPlastic)? Is there a problem with LaTeX (what I am using TextMate for)? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thx, Wolter

emacs like bindings to use xxxMark:

by nxinxa＠mac.com

Trying to make a set of Emacs-like bindings for TM, I discovered that setMark: and others are defined at a low level in the operating system, http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSResponder_index.html Some keys I wanted to use with these, e.g. ^q and ^h, are defined downstream, for examples in the bundles or in /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings.dict. I got rid of all those bindings, I think, but I still am unable to use the Mark commands in TM. I am able to use them in Mail: set a mark, move, press the key bound to deleteToMark: and the block is cut, Yank it back, etc. Am I missing some interfering bindings or does TM somehow not respond to the xxxMark: commands? Thanks,

Keybinding hosed

by John Johnson

I've managed to hose the binding for my keypad Enter key. It doesn't do anything now. It could have had something to do with using the 'defaults' command, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? I would even consider a return to all default keybindings. ADVthanksANCE! Regards, JJ --- Help everyone. If you can't do that, then at least be nice.
