- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Steve Weintraub

Congrats on 1.5...TextMate is 100% my editing environment (bb what?). I just wanted to ask what the status is of implementing chunk-undo. I was really hoping to see it sooner than later, it's still the one major issue that frustrates me about TextMate.

Save and Close

by Graeme Mathieson

Hi, I've been trying unsuccessfully this afternoon to create something that would perform 'save' and 'close' on a file with a single keyboard shortcut (which would be apple-shift-d, same and 'send ' in Mail) for the Subversion bundle. After all, that's what my fingers seem bound to pressing when I've finished writing a svn commit message (they must know better and feel it's like I've been writing an email)... :-) But recording a macros doesn't appear to work -- save doesn't appear to be recorded as a macro action, and close appears to cause the current macro recording to be cancelled. I also had a look at using a command, which would allow me to save the file first, but I can't figure out how to tell TextMate to close the current file from there. Can it be done? Cheers, Graeme -- Mail: mathie(a)woss.name | Web: http://woss.name/ AIM: Math1e | PGP: 1024D/D72F2737

bin or local, and Strict html 4 template only?

by Timothy Bates

hi, some comments on the new version Comment 1 the button in textmate's terminal usage dialog tries to make an alias to the mate command in usr/bin For me this operation failed (not permitted). Question: I have an existing copy of the link in "~/local" ... Didn't textmate used to expect ~/local rather than ~/bin ? What are we going to settle on? PS: could you make this command also add whatever folder it looks for to the .bash_profile and also create ~/bin if it doesn't exist? (is it xmas or what :-) ) Comment 2: "templates" offers only strict version 4 html as a template for html? Lots of us probably don't write code which is strict v4, so that might be asking for trouble? maybe transitional as an option? Comment 3 There is no comment 3 take care, t

Jumping to selected symbol

by Pedro Melo

Hi, Is there a shortcut to "Jump to the symbol under the cursor"? I tried to write a macro with ^W, Cmd-E, Cmd-G but it searches the string an not the symbol. Also ^W, Cmd-E, Cmd-Shift-T... I would suggest a Cmd-Shift-T + Alt to jump to the symbol selected and then people could write that macro... Thanks, -- Pedro Melo JID: melo(a)simplicidade.org

Folding in C

by Daniel Vollmer

Hi all! I've been using doxygen to write documentation for a wavelet image compression codec of mine, which is written in C. There I noticed two things on folding, which are the following: /** This is the basic "pixel" type. * \Warning This should not be less than 15 bits + sign! **/ typedef short int wv_pel; Here, the end-comment marker has to have two *s, it doesn't fold with one, but if I add a third * to the open comment bit, then it still works? Another thing which I couldn't figure out is the following: if (foo > (bar >> 3)) { /* this does something nice */ foo++; } else { /* not nice */ bar++; } Here, the folding does not activate with the comment on the same line, which I actually use quite often. I am really bad with regular expressions, so I couldn't figure out what they're trying to (referring to the folding patterns). I am aware though, that I can change them myself if I were so inclined, but I just wanted to ask whether TM expects me to do the above things in different way which may be equally nice. Oh, and Allan, nice website overhaul. :) Thanks, Daniel.

HOWTO: Develop Flash on Mac OSX with Rake, MTASC, SWFMill and TextMate

by Benjamin Jackson

Hey all, Not sure how many people out there work with both MTASC and TextMate (more than just me I hope), but I just put this up and thought it might be of interest: http://tinyurl.com/d8syh There's a video of it in action here: http://www.unfitforprint.com/articles/2005/12/19/developing-flash-on-a- mac Let me know if you find it useful. - Ben P.S.

Discoverability of Replace in Selection

by Allan Odgaard

One option is to use a menu button, though I'd make it slightly more awkward to perform a Replace in Selection but OTOH it would allow to (also) show the Replace All in Selection key equivalent right there in the find dialog.

Protect custon icons from auto-update?

by Simon Dorfman

I like the TextMate auto-update feature except for one thing: After it updates, I have to re-install my custom icons [1]. Is there any way I could protect them from auto-update? Does it use rsync? If yes, maybe add an --exclude flag to it? [1] http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-November/001211.html

Am I imagining this?

by Matt Mower

For some time now i've noticed that, *occasionally*, when I do: expr.each doo|<TAB> I end up with expr.each doo | instead of expr.each do |_| | end as I would expect. I had assumed that I was somehow pressing <CR> instead of <TAB> but I just caught myself and I am 99% certain I pressed <TAB>. So it seems to me like, sometimes, the trigger doesn't fire to do the snippet. I think I've noticed it for the last few versions. Does anyone else see this?

screenwriters bundle

by Oliver Taylor

I've created the beginnings of a bundle for use in screenwriting and I'm looking for help to develop it further. As it stands now, TextMate is used solely for it's behavior (snippets, macros, etc.) but I hope that it's abilities can expand with your help. Specifically, I'm looking for: * Code clean-up. I've hacked together a working prototype, but I'm sure there is much redundancy and inefficiency in what I've done. * Exporting options. The ability to export to HTML and PDF (perhaps via LaTex?), so proper formatting can take place. If you are interested in helping, download the bundle at the url listed below and contact me. The objective here is to create an end- to-end solution for screenwriting that rivals FinalDraft and MMScreenwriter, and I believe we can do it. link: http://www.ollieman.net/files/bundles/screenplay.zip email: oliver at ollieman dot net There is no documentation, but to get started: "ext" and "int" are tab-triggers for slug-lines "option+tab" creates transitions "shift+tab" creates characters poke around the bundle for more behavioral abilities. P.S. Should I post this in the bundle dev list?

Move line up/down bug?

by Chris Jenkins

I may be mistaken, but is there a bug with the move line up/down feature? Whenever I do this the line that is selected after the move is not the line that I moved, in other words if I move a line down then the line that gets selected is the line after the one that moved, so if I want to move a line up 2 lines I have to move it then move the caret up a line then move it again, is this how it it supposed to work? Or am I missing the point somehow? Many Thanks Chris ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Interminable slowness with TextMate over SMB

by Andrew F

Hi, I'm new here. Just started using TextMate, and I have a problem where it is freezing for up to minutes at a time. I’ve been using it to work from home. Whereas in the office we use Microsoft Developer Studio (on Windows), that happens to be a bastard of a slug of a text editor over a Remote Desktop connection, so I have connected to my Windows file share over SMB over my VPN, and set up a TextMate ‘project’ with all my files. (I compile remotely, over the remote desktop connection, or via Ssh.) Now TextMate is a lovely editor, and it didn’t take much effort to have it syntax-highlighting C# code. Only one problem with the otherwise (almost) perfect setup: when I have the project loaded into TextMate (600-odd files), when I change focus to another application, then focus again on TextMate, TextMate hangs for at least 20 seconds. I presume that this is something to do with it checking the files, because a local project doesn't seem to have this problem. Potentially it’s some kind of network timeout (though I checked my various firewalls to see if some bits of the windows file sharing were being blocked, and that doesn’t seem to be the case). I know that SMB is a dog over a remote connection (I'm on 2Mbps ADSL, and my office is 512kbps, I think), but this is almost unworkable, especially when it decides to go slow and takes 90 seconds rather than 20 (it's somewhat unpredictable. I assume it’s dependant on network conditions). Does anybody have any ideas? Or should I report it as a bug? (Even if it is a network problem, TextMate could presumably check the files in the background, or at least provide progress feedback.) Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks, –Andrewf

TextMate Manual

by Allan Odgaard

Just posted the following to my blog (you can post feedback here or on the blog post, if you have any): I am planning to release 1.1 final next week. While I do get many repeated requests, one of the issues that has been hard to overlook lately is the lack of thorough coherent updated documentation.  This has now changed after spending a few weeks writing more or less full-time (so that's why there has been no nightly builds, although I will likely put out one later today with a dozen minor items in the change log). Here is the first public draft of the [TextMate manual](http:// macromates.com/textmate/manual/). Don't hesitate to post feedback as comments to this entry. Currently the documentation is low on use-cases. I hope to iteratively improve this over time, as I think that when people ask for documentation they are in fact much more interested in how to combine the features of TextMate to solve the task at hand, than the core facts about how to move the caret and such. This of course is quite a challenge, as the tasks and possibilities are infinite. I myself regularly find new ways to use TextMate to improve my workflow in ways I would not have thought of just a few weeks earlier. Writing the documentation was no exception. One of the cooler things I discovered was that I could add the command below as a preferences item to the `entity.name.reference.markdown` scope to have escape suggest completion candidates from my aggregated reference list, when inside a Markdown reference (given as `[link text][REFERENCE]`). { completionCommand = 'sed -n \ "s/^\[$$TM_CURRENT_WORD[^]]*$.*/\1/p" \ "$TM_DIRECTORY/markdown.references"'; disableDefaultCompletion = 1; } Should you somehow have missed my countless references to [Markdown] (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) then for the records let me just state that the documentation was written in Markdown and I absolutely love it!

Applescript: Open current Finder window folder in TextMate

by Simon Dorfman

Hello everyone, I posted an applescript to make it easy to open the current finder window in TextMate. Check it out here: http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/1037 I attached a screenshot of my finder window so you can see how nicely it can be integrated into the finder. Thought this might be useful to fellow TextMate users. Cheerio, Simon

autosorting of language

by Timothy Bates

hi, i made a fairly complex match in a language (mx - a structural equation modeling package) The language formatter mis-sorts the capture list (sorts on the basis of first digit, not on the numeric value of the match number). Doesn't affect function, but it is a bit messy to read. Here it is after autosorting: { name = 'meta.Start.values.matrices.mx'; match = '(?i)^\s*(Start|Value)\s+(\d*\.?\d*)\s+([A-Z])\s+(\d*)?\s* ((\d+)|([^, ]+))\s+((\d+)|([^, ]+))(\s(to|-)\s+([A-Z])\s+(\d*)?\s*((\d +)|([^, ]+))\s+((\d+)|([^, \n]+)))?'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.start.mx'; }; 10 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 12 = { name = 'keyword.control.to.mx'; }; 13 = { name = 'support.other.variable.matrix.mx'; }; 14 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 16 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 17 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 19 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 2 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 20 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 3 = { name = 'support.other.variable.matrix.mx'; }; 4 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 6 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; 7 = { name = 'constant.mx'; }; 9 = { name = 'constant.numeric.mx'; }; }; },

language pane not updates

by Timothy Bates

hi, just made a new bundle and dragged an existing item into it. All went well (like how the item shows where it will go), but the UI did not update well: the list was displaced left during the drag, and then it didn't redraw (all the disclosure triangles hidden). Goes away after a forced redraw by altering the pane width.

cursor positioning off by one or two characters

by Alan McLean

When I am using the Ruby on Rails programming language, my cursor positioning always seems to be off by one or two characters. Its very strange, very frustrating! When I am editing a plain text piece, its fine, but when I am doing ROR it appears to be off ever so slightly, enough so that it doesn't quite register properly. has anyone else noticed that? --Alan

Show Invisibles

by Thomas Bohn

Hi, just a little questions about the invisible helpers to see tabs and line endings. Why does TextMate uses other marks for line endings as for example SubEthaEdit, you get use to the marks of TextMate but would really like know why at all? Second more interesting for me, where are the signs for spaces? There are absolutely no signs for spaces. Which makes it quite annoying, you have to guess how many spaces or just to try with the cursor. I hope someone can help me. To find answers for my little questions. Thomas

Re: Replace document with snippet?

by Benjamin Jackson

> > This would be an awesome feature. Has it been requested yet? Thanks, > > What does it actually mean? Like, for example, I want to pipe my current file through some command that would add some code at a specific point (say extract some lines to a new function), and outputs a snippet. It would be as if I ran the command with all the text selected and set the output to "replace with snippet", except this way I can still get the current word or selected text to pass as input to my command. Is that clearer? ___________________ Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento ben(a)incomumdesign.com http://www.incomumdesign.com
