Salvete, in 906, I observe the following behaviour: - Open the Ruby language definition in the bundle editor (probably works with others as well) - Search for “indent”. - Close search window - Go to the beginning of the file - Search for “def” --> TextMate is still searching for “indent”. Regards and thanks for a great editor, Christopher

New input manager only seems to work in English apps

by Christian Bogen

The new »Edit in TextMate« input manager only seems to work in English apps. In non-english/localized (in my case German) apps the new entry in the edit menu doesn't show up at all. Is that a known bug? Cheers Christian

Save document and refresh current Safari window

by Robert C. Mannl

Hi! I develop my Rails pages with two monitors. On the left Monitor, I have TextMate open, on the right monitor, I have Safari with the current controller/action I'm editing open. Instead of always manually: 1) Saving document in TextMate 2) Focusing Safari 3) Refreshing Safari 4) Put focus back on TextMate I wrote the following Script in the Bundle Editor: osascript -e " tell application \"System Events\" key down command keystroke \"s\" key up command end tell tell application \"Safari\" activate end tell tell application \"System Events\" key down command keystroke \"r\" key up command end tell tell application \"TextMate\" activate end tell " However, the last three lines make TextMate freeze, and Safari doesn't even Refresh. As soon as I remove those three lines, everything works (except of course, refocusing TextMate). Any ideas? Is there any support for TextMate? I bought TextMate a couple of months ago. Thanks a bunch! R. Christian

Non-contiguous selections

by Gerd Knops

Hi, Since Tiger it is possible in Cocoa apps such as TextEdit to create non-contiguous selections by holding command pressed. For example command + double click can be used multiple times to select a few words, or command + tripple click to select some lines. Seems like a handy feature, would be neat to get that onto the ToDo list. Gerd

Find Dialog Query

visual feedback while typing accented / combined characters

by Ksenia Marasanova

Hi, I'd like TextMate to provide better visual feedback when typing characters that require multiple keystrokes. When you type Alt + e in Mail.app, it displays ´ with yellow background, then you type e and see the resulting é. In TextMate you see only the result. Not a big deal for accented characters, but pain for some special keyboards - like Russian phonetic that i use, where a lot of frequently used letters are created by typing two, and sometimes three characters :) Thanks -- Ksenia

Is there a way to use currently open files as the source for completions?

by Duane Johnson

Rather than using just the *current* file as the source for completions, I'd like to expand that a bit and make TextMate search all currently open files for word completions. I've searched around a bit, and I am aware of the standard completions / completionCommand usage. However, it seems that there is no way of getting the list of currently open documents in to the shell. Is that the case? TM_SELECTED_FILES appears to be pretty close, but it only works on "selected" files within the project. Is the list of shell variables in the manual a comprehensive list? I'm hoping there's a secret something that I've missed :) Regards, Duane Johnson (canadaduane) http://blog.inquirylabs.com/

Textmate/TeXShop-Interaction

by Matthias Damm

Hello everybody, I have been trying Textmate for a couple of days now and am quite stunned -- it really has improved greatly compared to an older version I had tried before. It seems to have most of the key features I am missing in TeXShop for writing my Ph.D. dissertation (like tabs and code folding), so I am seriously considering switching. Let me ask one question about using it for LaTeX however: I would prefer to keep TeXShop to control the LaTeX processing rather than Textmate's own processing since I have some .engine file (i.e. scripts that are started form within TeXShop) I would like to keep to perform some specific tasks. Of course I can simply set TeXShop to "external editor", open my main .tex file there and process it, but this is not so nice because of two reasons: - You have to switch applications. Not a big deal, but pressing a shortcut from within Textmate was nicer. - Syncing does not work. I suppose TeXShop would have to provide a feature to call an external editor and jump to a defined line, just like in TeXniscope (where it works fine). Is there any chance that there will be a solution in the feature that would allow Textmate so tell TeXShop to begin the TeX processing (with a given .engine used), and that would allow syncing? Has there been a feature request for TeXShop already to implement the needed features? Or am I simply missing something? Thanks in advance, best Matthias -- Matthias Damm mad(a)macpla.net PGP key: http://macpla.net/MatthiasDamm.asc PGP fingerprint: CED3 6074 7F7D 3148 C6F3 DFF2 05FF 3A0B 0D12 4D41

newbie & textmate & Texniscope

by Christof Janssen

Hello, I am a bloody newbie to both TextMate and TeXniscope, but I would like to give this combination a try. Unfortunately, I could not find an answer to the following problem (despite looking in the archives and googling the web). How do I configure the LaTeX bundle: Typeset & View that it starts TeXniscope from within TextMate ? Is anyone willing to share the script ? With best regards Christof

Fwd: [Bibdesk-users] Slightly OT: Changing editors

by Matthias Damm

Hi, there is a discussion about LaTeX editors going on in the BibDesk users list (with some enthusiastic recommendations for TextMate ...). Let me forward one mail that could be interesting here as well. To sum it up: - Someone is missing code collapsing for \footnote{} commands (very good idea if you ask me ... I've seen that it is already in the Wiki as a feature request.) - Adam Maxwell offers a completion controller that could improve the interaction between BibDesk and TextMate.

C language regexp problem

by Oscar Bonilla

I was looking at some C source with TextMate and it seems the C regexp for functions is broken when there is a new line in the middle of the argument list. What I mean is that if your functions are defined like this: static int AliasCreate( Tcl_Interp *interp, /* Interp for error reporting. */ Tcl_Interp *slaveInterp, /* Interp where alias cmd will live or from * which alias will be deleted. */ Tcl_Interp *masterInterp, /* Interp in which target command will be * invoked. */ Tcl_Obj *namePtr, /* Name of alias cmd. */ Tcl_Obj *targetNamePtr, /* Name of target cmd. */ int objc, /* Additional arguments to store */ Tcl_Obj *CONST objv[]) /* with alias. */ { Then TextMate will not see them as functions. I tried fixing the regexp, which is { name = 'declaration.function.c'; begin = '(?x) (?: ^ # begin-of-line | (?: (?<!else|new) (?<=\w)\s+ # or word + space before name | (?<!&&) (?<=[*&>])\s* # or type modifier before name ) ) ([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_:]+) # actual name \s*$ (?=[^)]*$ # match "(" and use look- ahead for ")" (\s+const)?\s* # optional const modifier (\{|\n)) # start bracket or end-of- line '; end = '\)'; beginCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'entity.name.function.c'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '$base'; } ); }, But so far, I've been unable to make it ignore new lines in the argument list. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, -Oscar -- pgp fingerprint: BC64 2E7A CAEF 39E1 9544 80CA F7D5 784D FB46 16C1

Jump to last edit, and multiple views

by Peter Vohmann

Hi Allan, Quite a while ago there was the question how to search a document for information, then come back to the spot and continue editing. You mentioned the technique to scroll around, read what you need, then press Command-J (Jump to Selection). Too bad that Find or Copy/ Paste move the selection. How about a command "Jump to Last Edit" and bind it to Cmd-Shift-J? Is this possible to have as a macro, or as a TextEdit extension? One could design it with a few parameters - How many edit positions to memorize? 5 sounds good to me. (to cycle through them, recent to older) - How far apart edit positions should be to be different? 10 lines, less than half a screen, sounds good to me here. So if change happens "near" another edit position, the position moves to the cursor spot. - Jump across files? I don't think so. Edit positions should be part of the Undo queue. I'm not trying to interfere with future expansions or better ideas like stacks of tags, except that simplest often works best. BTW I'm an raving fan of two windows of the same file side-by-side, because I copy a lot (and I forget a lot). For Projects this is easy achieved, has just a few refresh hickups when I edit a point above, then switch to the other window. I see twice the amount of stuff, so split windows wound't cut it. For single file edits, like in a Fugu session, it is utterly impossible to open a second window. Then I resort to throwing chunks in a scratch pad, and jumping around in the same file. Hence the topic. ;-) Regards, Peter

"LaTeX in TM" screencast

by Charilaos Skiadas

I finally got around to creating a small screencast for using TM to write LaTeX. You can find it here: http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/ afterthought/2006/01/09/textmate-latex-screencast-no-1/ (direct link to the vid: http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/uploads/ TextMateScreencast1.zip). It's probably mostly aimed at new users I guess. It's about 25MB. Let me know what you think and what you would like to see in future screencasts. Be harsh. Haris

doctype macro?

Change to CSS file ignored by Web Preview

by Eric O'Brien

Hello! (I'm new to the list and to TextMate. Let me know if this has already been covered.) Version 1.5 (906) -- Problem: Web Preview does not reflect changes made in a CSS file to which an open, previewed HTML documents refers. Steps: Open separately a HTML file and then a CSS file that's used by that document. Evoke Web Preview on the html document. Switch to the CSS document and change something that will effect the visual presentation of the html document. Pause, waiting for something to happen. ... Nothing Happens. Web Preview does not change; Save the CSS document. ... Web Preview does not change; Switch to the HTML document and make a small change ... the change to the html is immediately available, but the change to the CSS file does not appear; Close the Web Preview window, save the html file, reopen Web Preview ... The change to the CSS file remains invisible to Web Preview; Open the Drawer on the Web Preview window and press the "Refresh Now" button ... No Change -- modification to the CSS file still is not reflected; QUIT TextMate, reopen the two files in question and apply Web Preview to the HTML document. --> NOW, the changes in the CSS document are properly reflected. Clearly, Something Is Wrong Here. It is as if Web Preview has CACHED the CSS file and is using the cached version, rather than the current version, when it parses (or whatever) the HTML file for preview. The current behavior substantially reduces the value of Web Preview. I hope we can get a fix soon. After the skiing trip of course! ;) Related to this, I'd really like a "persistent" Web Preview when using a Project. Consider the simplest example: one CSS file and one HTML file open in a project. I select the HTML file and choose Web Preview. I switch to the CSS file to make some edits and ... WHAT! the Web Preview window disappears. Of course, what I need is for the Web Preview of the HTML file to STAY OPEN open while I edit the CSS file. And for it to reflect changes to the appearance of the HTML file as I make changes in the CSS file. I imagine that this situation may apply to editing other sorts of "include" files (PHP?). When I make changes to ANY TYPE of file to which an open HTML file refers, a Web Preview of that HTML file should be updated, AND include the changes to the included files. Thanks, eo

Copy Condensed SQL to clipboard bug : removing newlines from string literals

by Matthijs Bomhoff

Hello, the "copy condensed sql to clipboard" function removes newlines from string literals as well, effectively changing the semantics of the query. It would be nice if it replaced them with the correct escape- sequences, or even left them in... e.g. if you copy "SELECT 'line 1 line 2' " to you clipboard, you get "SELECT 'line 1 line 2'", that actually does something else... Especially nasty with INSERT/UPDATE queries etc. regards, Matthijs

RubyMate and command line discrepancy

Hey all, i get another PATH (or the like) RubyMate versus command line discrepancy. i wanted to test osx/cocoa install against previous rubygems installed. then i've done (cut'n paste) a small script using both kind of ruby extension : #!/usr/bin/env ruby -w require 'osx/cocoa' require 'plist' require 'iphoto2' #<<-- line 6 blaahblahblah this script is working well using command line however using RubyMate i got : RubyMate r2496 running Ruby v1.8.4. >>> ~/work/Ruby/RubyCocoa/test.rb LoadError: no such file to load -- iphoto2 method require in test.rb at line 6 at top level in test.rb at line 6 something really strange to me i dis install 'plist' and 'iphoto2' at the same time and using the same tool 'rubygems'.... ans, they are in the same directory : [...] /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/iphoto2-1.0.1 /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/iphoto2-1.0.1/iphoto2.rb /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/iphoto2-1.0.1/test_iphoto2.rb [...] /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/plist-1.0.0 /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/plist-1.0.0/plist.rb /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/plist-1.0.0/test_plist.rb [...] in case u've some light about that obscure cavern ;-) best, Yvon

SQL Syntax

by Soryu

Hi, there seems to be an error in the very first rule of the SQL Syntax in the svn repository. it starts: { name = 'declaration.create.sql'; match = '(?i:^\s*(create)\s+(aggregate|conversion|database|domain| function|group|(unique\s+)?index|language|operator class|operator| rule|schema|sequence|table|tablespace|trigger|type|user|view)\s+) ([''"`])?(\w+)'; but should have an additional ([''"`])? at the end. Because as it is now, the closing ` (e.g.) starts a string after the frist CREATE TABLE for me and that makes syntax highlighting useles for the rest of the file. Soryu.

Right Margin / Wrap Column

by Daniel Vollmer

Hi all! When documenting old code, I find myself trying to stick to ~80 columns, but plenty (well some) of my actual code lines is longer than that. So what I'd like is to have the right-margin displayed at say 78 chars, but soft wrap on the current window size. Is this already possible? If not, is this useful in general? Thanks, Daniel.
