- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Xavier Noria

I uploaded a Perl module yesterday to CPAN and testers report failures on several platforms when building the module. The error logs mention unknown files whose name is the same one that the actual included files, but with "._" prepended. For instance, if the tarball contains "Makefile.PL" it turns out that it also contains a mysterious "._Makefile.PL". Even "ls -a" does not show those "._" files, and opening one of them in a Windows machine showed something that seemed binary, and with "www.macromates.com" somewhere with something that looks like metadata like caret position (I think). That makes me wonder whether TM could have anything to do with them. I am not familiar enough with resource forks to be able to guess what's happening on my own. Does this ring any bell? -- fxn

Dvorak/Querty Keyboard Layout

by Andre Behrens

I use the presumably obscure Dvorak/Command-Querty keyboard layout. It uses Dvorak for standard typing, but when you hold down the command key, it switches to Querty, so I can use the key that's actually printed on the page, and preserve that precious command key muscle memory. I've had mixed success using the command keys with TextMate, though. For instance, I frequently change the indentation of blocks of code, using command-[ and ]. When I use DQ, I tend to get some sort of commenting. If I switch back to regular querty, I get the results I expect. Is there any way this can be improved?

POLL: Request a Theme!

by thomas Aylott

Hello, my name is Thomas. And I am addicted to making textMate themes. Please feed my addiction by suggesting theme ideas. I have been told that my themes make peoples eyes bleed. They are obviously of limited use, therefore. If people seriously want a certain theme, I WILL make it (eventually). I've got a process down now that's really quick. ----- I WANT TO KNOW: Who uses what theme in textMate? What themes have you used from previous systems or applications? visual studio? dreamweaver? bbedit? foo.app? Do you like them? Do you want an 'expert designer' to tell you what you should like? <insert canned laughter here> Do you have bad taste and should be ignored? <again.. haha> Do you like black backgrounds? Do you like colored backgrounds? Do you hate excessive use of background colors? ...for the page? ...for individual elements? Do you like high contrast? Do you prefer lower contrast? Do you like having a bunch of different colors or would you prefer one with shades of only a few colors? What colors do you like? Please give examples. Do you have synisthesia? Are certain elements 'supposed' to be a certain color? What languages do you want to have colored? Do you want different languages to have different colors? ----- Please provide example screen shots (or links to them to keep from clogging the list) if at all possible. Thank you for 'enabling' my habit ;D

Amiga / MagicWB theme

by Allan Odgaard

I got impatient waiting for my Amiga theme, so I created one myself. It's high-contrast and uses only a handful of colors (those from MagicWB, which was an 8 color icon set which radically improved the look of the Amiga workbench back then) -- I cheated and actually used a light grey for comments, since pure white was too bright, and MWB half-shine was too dark. I haven't added this to the repository, since I don't expect that anyone actually wants to use it :)

[REQ] new-from-template

by Ruben Debeerst

I miss a new-from-template-function in TextMate. I know I could realize them as snippets but nevertheless it would be comfortable. Otherwise a new-as-copy-function which creates a new file with the beginning content of another file. I'm new on TextMate and really love this editor!! :-) Regards, Ruben

Japanese Input

by Masaki Yatsu

Hello. TextMate is the best text editor I have ever used. But I have one problem that I can't input Japanese. (I can't live without Japanese...) In Japanese, many characters are used. So we have to use input-method to convert ascii characters into Japanese characters. For more information, visit the following. http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/uim/2005-July/001195.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/uim/2005-July/001215.html Mac OS X bundles the input-method named Kotoeri. When I use Kotoeri in TextMate, typed characters does not appear. And when I try to convert words, the candidate window is not displayed. To use input-method, the text editor must be implemented as TSM(Text Service Manager) client. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/ Text_Services_Manager/ I guess TextMate is not completely implemented as TSM client. (Sorry if I was wrong.) Is it possible to resolve this problem? And the character overlapping problem posted before happens also in my environment. http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-October/000322.html Regards. --- Masaki Yatsu yatsu(a)yatsu.info

Thank you for your reply.

I can see Japanese characters even though it is overlapped. If I am using other encoding than UTF-8, I can't even see Japanese characters. I'm not talking about text encoding. My problem is that I can't INPUT Japanese by input-method. Sorry for my bad English. --- Masaki Yatsu yatsu(a)yatsu.info

word completion lookup

by Caio Chassot

Hi, Word completion seems to look for matching words on the document from the cursor point and up, and then, from the cursor down. It's often the case, however, that the matching word you need is right on the next line, or even later in the same line, and it takes a lot of ESC-pressing to get to it. My suggestion is that you sort them by proximity (as it is now), but look for words in both directions, so the words right in the next line stand a better chance. (I had the impression that back in 1.0 it worked that way. Did it?)

Unfold 'inner' folds via Alt-click?

by Gerd Knops

Hi, With most tree view like controls on OS X, alt-click will recursively unfold all levels enclosed. Is something like that possible or planned with fold markers in TM? Alt-clicking does not seem to to anything different than normal click, folds inside the clicked fold stay folded. Gerd

Go to Header/Source has problems if files have common prefixes?

by Fraser Speirs

Hi, Very new to TextMate, so please forgive if this is a dumb question or already well-known. I saw there was a similar discussion back in March, but not quite the same issue as this: I have the following four source files at the same level in my codebase: FUFlickrExport.h FUFlickrExport.m FUFlickrExportCover.h FUFlickrExportCover.m If I open FUFlickrExport.m from, say Xcode, and hit Cmd-Opt-Up Arrow to go to the header, TextMate opens FUFlickrExportCover.h. TextMate correctly opens the counterpart of FUFlickrExportCover. {h,m}. It also correctly goes to FUFlickrExport.m from its header, it's just going to the header of FUFlickrExport.m that's not right. Is there a better place to report bugs than on this list? Best, Fraser -- www.speirs.org www.connectedflow.com

Maybe these have come up before

by Matt Mower

Hi, Two things that I find consistently not to my liking in how TextMate handles Ruby code: 1) When you fold a (ruby) function it places a "---" marker at the end of the non-folded first line to represent (presumably) the folded section. However, although the "---" isn't part of the logical line, if you place the caret before the marker and hit Enter the marker is moved down a line and inherits a folding arrow. This leaves the first line of the folded function disjointed with a non-functioning fold arrow. => I'd like hitting Enter at the "---" to move the caret to a new line below the folded function without affecting the folded section. 2) When you fold a function and use Ctrl+/ on the visible line with the "---" marker to comment it out what actually happens is that t comments out only the visible line. The rest of the function is not commented if you expand it. => I'd like to it comment/uncomment the folded section as well. I am using v1.1b17 Regards, Matt -- Matt Mower :: http://matt.blogs.it/

Language definition merge?

by Gerd Knops

Are language definitions merged? There are a few languages where I have some 'private' rules. Is it possible to write them in such a way that these are merged with whatever language definition is found 'higher up', so that I can easily enjoy updates from the svn repository without having to modify that definition each time?

Nested Styles Interaction

by thomas Aylott

Hello. I'm experimenting with crazy nested syntax coloring. I can't seem to figure out how to make all the transparent background colors interact properly. Ideally I'd like to define a scope: scope test = everything within "(...)" Then set a syntax color of transparent background color. scope: test = White 10% opaque Then nest a bunch of them inside each other. zero (one (two (three (four (five (six (seven (eight )))))))) result: The transparent background color would compound and gradually get stronger: n/a (10% (20% (30% (40% (50% (60% (70% (80% )))))))) If I could get this to work, I could color different block types with a massive background color & the content colors would be based on the block color. EG: HTML tags = blue BG, embedded ASP = red BG, strings = yellow BG ... string in html tags = green, string in asp = orange. With what I know now I could simulate this by explicitly setting the background colors for every possible combination of elements, but that's a lot of work. And if I decide to change the hue of something I have to manually recalculate all of those static simulations of color interactions. --- I can get things to interact with the background color. If I change the BG color for the scope "source" all the transparent things define their transparency based on that color. Also the line highlight & selection colors. --- Am I asking for too much? Will this make performance suffer? Is this already possible, but I just can't figure it out?

list (ul/ol) HTML snippet question

by minimal.design

I was trying to figure out how I could write a snippet that would wrap a bunch of lines into a HTML list... lets say you got this text: item 01 item 02 item 03 then the snippet would output: <ul> <li>item 01</li> <li>item 02</li> <li>item 03</li> </ul> I'm kinda stuck on how to get the recursive thing to adapt to the number of list items... Any thoughts?

feature idea

by minimal.design

In order to streamline snippet input from selection, it would be pretty cool to have the option to access the snippets from a contextual menu. A pretty flexible way to implement that could be a check box or equivalent in the bundle editor that says something like "include in contextual menu" on a per language and/or snippets basis. ......................................... m i n i m a l d e s i g n 244 Fifth Avenue - Suite P233 New York, NY 10001-7604 USA tel / fax: 212.931.8525 email: work(a)minimaldesign.net site: http://minimaldesign.net/

automate subversion checkout

by Jim Woolum

Question from a Terminal newbie ... is there a way to automatically execute the three commands I use for the subversion checkout? (Namely these three: cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 svn --username anon --password anon co http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk ./ ) Does the application Pipe help you do something like automating this into a little macro? Or is there a more direct way? Thanks very much for the help - Jim
