folding issue with loop ... end loop (vhdl bundle)

by Peter Vohmann

Hello Mates, Folding is probably what drives me with open arms to you, guys. If I'm getting it to work, that is. A pathological case is this vhdl construct: loop do_something; exit when signal='1'; do_something_more; end loop; My first attempt looks like this (just longer): foldingStartMarker = "(?i:(loop|case|if))"; foldingStopMarker = "(?i:end)"; But this does not work, because the "loop" also matches the stopMarker! TextMate will not mark the end line at all, and get quite screwed up in building its folds. The same for "end if", "end case", to name a few. Any reasonable ideas how to write a foldingStartMarker pattern that will _not_ trigger on the final line? Peter

Spaces instead of tabs -> per filetype basis?

by Shanti Braford

Hey all, I was wondering if there was a way to setup different file types to use the "Tab -> space" conversion feature, and others... not. I.e. for Ruby on Rails code (.rb and possibly .rhtml), I'd like to have Tabs automatically get converted to spaces. But for .txt files and other file types where I would like to keep tabs... is there a way to do this somehow? Just finally registered my copy of TextMate... and, knowing how incredibly versatile it is, I'm just figuring there's got to be a way to pull this off somehow (w/o making it a new feature, which, imho would be nice too!) =) Shanti

Minor Feature Request: Zoom Below 9px

by thomas Aylott

To test what this could look like you can use a font size of like 5 in prefs. After you zoom in, it won't let you zoom back out past 9. If we (I, really... who cares about anyone else :D ) could zoom out past 9, we could get a good visual overview of the whole document. Not a big change, but it'd be handy to me atleast.

PHPCodeCompletion 1.0b4 available

by Mats Persson

1.0b4:: 1. Added a preference setting to handle the snippet output behaviour, so that it can handle both my style ( spaces_within_brackets ) and the PEAR standard style (no_spaces_within_brackets) styles on the fly independent of the stored snippet format. 2. Minor change to notify users of the documentation issues (no local documentation or internet access = empty documentation) You can find out more information about PHPCC 1.0b4 from here [ http://www.imediatec.co.uk/tm/phpcc/ ] or the download it directly from this link [ http:// www.imediatec.co.uk/tm/phpcc/PHPCodeCompletion-1.0b4.zip ] Please keep me informed of the ideas, problems and so on. Kind regards, Mats ---- "TextMate, coding with an incredible sense of joy and ease" - www.macromates.com -

Latex preferences: symbols

by Berndt Farwer

I think the scope for the symbol list preferences of the Latex bundle ought to be set to "text.latex entity.name.section" The default of "text.latex entity.name" shows every "\item” in the "Go to symbol ..." (cmd-shift-t) list. Berndt

Question about Rails syntax highlighting

by Raymond Brigleb

Sorry if this is Obvious Question #37... but I swear TM used to have Rails-specific syntax highlighting and that disappeared (is this possible?) in one of the recent betas or something. When I look at my Language selection, I only see Ruby. Am I crazy? Wasn't there a Rails one? Can I just grab that from somewhere? It seemed to highlight more detailed and specific syntax than Ruby does.... Thanks, Raymond

Anyone using ctags?

by Oscar Bonilla

I saw there was a ruby script posted to the list a while ago for integration with ctags, but it's not working for me... before I go off and start writing my own, is anyone using ctags with TextMate? Thanks, -Oscar -- pgp fingerprint: BC64 2E7A CAEF 39E1 9544 80CA F7D5 784D FB46 16C1

Save files when focus is lost - to a temp file?

by Oli

Hi All, I'm really liking TM - it's taking a while to get my non-programmer's head around, but I'm learning lots in the process. I really like the "Save files when focus is lost" preference (Preferences > Advanced > Saving > Other), but if you haven't saved the file yet (still 'untitled') TextMate has a heart attack when swapping to another program. As an aside I really need to kill dock bouncing already. I think it'd be even better for the file (if not yet saved) to be automatically saved as a temp file, either in a similar way to using command-enter from other programs, or using the first few words of the file as filename in a TextMate folder in Documents. This temp file could then be automatically deleted when the user saves for the first time. just a thought you probably had already. keep up the great work! peace - oli

Retro ANSi 2

by thomas Aylott

Check it out. All new. All oldschool. Back to the heart of the medium. The only color that isn't a direct ANSi color is the background color on non-source pages (just cuz it looks keener ) this one should look pretty slick for javaScript, CSS & RUBY (as well as HTML, XML & ASP) I thrive on entertaining insults & opinions. Please cater to my sickness.

by thomas Aylott

I have the following ASP.net code <tag attribute="<%# Users.PageSize %>" /> the scope of the #... part is coming up as comment.line.number- sign.ruby instead of source.asp.embedded.html I've tried messing with everything I can think of. I can't figure out how to keep it from defaulting to the ruby deal. any suggestions would be lovely.

Merging mine with yours

by Andreas Wahlin

Say I begin to edit stuff like furious in the bundle editor, and then a new version comes along with some new stuff, how do these two get merged, if at all? Same goes for themes. Seems a bit short, but I hope the question is clear. Andreas

Retro ANSi DOS color theme

by thomas Aylott

Howdy. I first got started in computers with a DOS pc. I was an artist for dial-up BBS boards before the internet was. I know most people are into Mac chic, but I've always had a fondness for my oldschool CiA agent_42 days. Check out http://www.sixteencolors.net/Artist/?Artist=agent_42 to see what the 'scene' was like back in 'the day'. This theme is a first release. I can't code without a good basic theme, but I need to make it better, especially for other languages. This theme has been tested with html, xhtml, XML (and friends), ASP, ASP.net, ruby on rails, javascript & CSS. I'm not too thrilled with how it looks for javascript & CSS, but i don't code in those (with textMate) too often. The theme rendering & code view does get a bit slowish with all the fancy stuff going on with transparency & background colors. If anyone can suggest ways to speed up the rendering that'd be swell. I have Quarts 2D extreme turned on (using quartz debug & force quitting to keep changes) for faster text-rendering & better anti- aliasing. I'm using proFont 9px anti-aliased. The bold only shows up with anti-aliasing off though. please check this out & share your reactions, good or bad. I know this is not for everyone, but I was just so psyched about the AWESOME theming & scope capabilities of textMate not to share.

Insert Closing Tag bug

by Michael Irwin

Recently I've noticed the keyboard shortcut for "Insert Closing Tag" from the Automation menu no longer works in 1.1b16. If I click the menu item the closing tag is inserted, but not if I type the shortcut Option-Cmd-. I haven't customized any Bundles, but I am using the latest Bundles via svn. Anybody else seeing this? Thanks, Michael Irwin

ASP.net & SQL bundle

by thomas Aylott

is anybody working on an ASP.net bundle? Specifically, VB.NET i've got some work-arounds to make the regular ASP bundle work for it, but there are still a few niggling problems. I'm just getting started with all this fancyness & don't really have much time to mess with stuff. I have a custom color theme done & i've made some snippets & commands. I'm addicted to macros. I work in an all windows office (we actually just got a macMini server for the 'blog') so I've got to deal with a lot of 'classic' ASP 3 & poorly written ASP.net code. In the mean time i've got this workaround to make serverside script tags work like <% ... %> tags. This takes advantage of the fact that the ASP language bundle incorrectly ignores the closing %> tag if preceded by a comment_this_line character "'" (what 'tard came up with the idea of using a quote mark as a comment_this_line character!?!?!1!). So, nobody fix that problem without also making an ASP.net bundle, thanks. <%'textmate fix for ASP.NET script tag' %> <script runat="server"> ... </script>  i know you're all thinking: "coding ASP.net on a mac, what are you a masochist?" ANSWER: It's better than the alternative. (IE: using a PC to code ASP.net) -------------------- SQL. Is there anyone working on an advanced version of the SQL language module? The current one is... not good. (isn't it nice to know that your efforts are being appreciated? :D)

Paren matching

by David Lee

Hi all. First up -- congrats to Alan. Textmate's continuing to improve faster than any other editor I know of, and is already unarguably one of the best. so , any chance we can have both pairs of (){}[]s better highlighted when the cursor is adjacent to one of a matching pair? it'd be nice to have theme elements for the bracket fg/bg colours. I think the short blink we have at the moment is far too little, and it makes more sense to me to have both characters highlighted. ------------ cheers, David

Emacs-like Toggle-behavior for cmd-T, Keyboard-driven tab reordering

by Jonathan Ragan-Kelley

I appreciate cmd-T as a more flexible replacement for old-school keyboard buffer switchers like the traditional Emacs c-x b action. However, one of the most critical uses of c-x b, in my experience, is the ability to instantly toggle between the last 2 buffers in the current window/pane, which cmd-T (and the stationary ordering of the tabs, as compared to something like the stack ordering of the File History dropdown in XCode editor panes) cannot accomplish. I understand that certain special cases of toggling, like switching between matching, identically-named header and implementation files can be accomplished with special commands and that toggling can be achieved by manually reordering tabs in such a way that the desired 2 files are adjacent in the tab list, but this misses the deeper point that toggling between the last 2 files -- no matter how they were reached, what their file name relationship is, or where they fall in the tab list -- is one of the most central and frequently performed actions at least in my programming experience. (And it is, of course, all the more critical without split pane support ;). It seems to me, however, that this can be addressed quite simply and elegantly in the context of the current cmd-T system. All that would have to happen is that the first item in the list would always default to the last active tab when the window is first opened. Given that the list ordering is dynamic and adaptive, á la Quicksilver, it hardly seems that this very subtle reordering would present any sort of usability issue or confusion. Of course, how this most-recently-used item might be prioritized in the list after the user starts typing, if at all, is an open question, but one which need not even be answered a first version (the behavior can perfectly reasonably be just as it is now after the first search letter is typed). The general issue of fast toggling and navigation between files also brings up a small related thing I've been wanting to see for some time: I would love to have the ability to re-order tabs using the keyboard, alone -- just something akin to select next/previous tab, but which moved the current tab right/left. That's it for now. Back to the code. -jrk

Block indenting messed up in b16

by Benjamin Jackson

I think this was a prob in b15 as well. Constructions like function() { // tabbed automatically } now come out like this: function() { // left on same indent level } A small annoyance but it adds up :) Ben

Key bindings question

by Benjamin Jackson

Just hacked TextExtras to do auto-completion on space... however to get it to work I had to alter DefaultKeyBindings.dict, which is now messing with TM as I assume it's using a different InputManager and can't find the functions I assigned to the space key. It would be nice to be able to use the completion functionality within TM, but if it's not technically possible then I'll settle for just resetting the bindings for it. How can I override these bindings just for TextMate? I'd assume it would be possible by editing the KeyBindings.dict file in TM's Resources, however I have no idea how (or if it's even possible) to map a key binding to an NSTextView method with arguments. My first try would be { " " = "insertText:@' '"; /* space */ } However I read somewhere about @-initialized strings being defined at compile-time, so this doesn't work. Any ideas? I'll make sure to put together a nice write-up when I'm done :) ___________________ Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento ben(a)incomumdesign.com http://www.incomumdesign.com

Creating plist for SuperCollider file type: .sc

by Iannis Zannos

Hello, I am trying to create a new plist entry for editing files in the SuperCollider language (see: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/supercollider/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperCollider ) I started by duplicating the entry for c++ and editing the initial entries as follows: { scopeName = "source.sc"; fileTypes = ( "sc", "rtf", "txt" ); However this did not work. It works for files of name <filename>.sc.rtf, <filename>.sc.txt but not for <filename>.sc Could someone please help me correct the plist entry so that it works for <filename>.sc? Otherwise the syntax definition for c++ works quite well to cover also the actual syntax of SuperCollider (some adjustments will be needed to make this complete). Thanks, Iannis Zannos

Lost snippet

by Stephen F.Steiner

So, I've set up this great 'thingie' (is it a macro, command, snippet? who knows?) triggered on 'foo'->tab. Works great, I love it. Now I want to change it. Damn if I can remember where I put it and, now that I've looked everywhere I can think of, can anyone tell me how to find a lost 'thingie' by name? Thanks, S

Floating Palettes for Macros and Commands

by Ivan

Hi, As much as I love to keyboard shortcuts, coming from an avid QuickSilver user, I will love to have a floating windows sometimes for less-used macros and commands. Navigating through three levels of menus really bores me. I really don't want to assign yet another arcane keyboard command either. Is a language specific floating palette (like a tear-off menu from Automation) a sound idea? Ivan

Gri Bundle

Dan, Just to be safe, I’ll move the conversation over to the regular list. Though questions about adding to the development I think do belong on the developer list too. The Gri and View command works great. Thanks, your effort is much better then the one I was coming up with.

Converting BBEdit glossaries (was: TextMate Question)

by Allan Odgaard

On 07/08/2005, at 15.24, Jeff Powell wrote: [ I have cc'ed the mailing list since the info provided may be useful to others as well ] > How then do I take this glossary from BBEdit and copy it over to > the TextMate drawer. I'm not familiar with BBEdit's glossary functionality, but I downloaded some example glossaries and made a perl script which converts these to TextMate snippets (placing them in a bundle). You run it with the folder containing a set of glossary items as argument. It will then create a tmbundle named after this folder, containing the items in the folder (as snippets). It removes #indent#, converts the #placeholderstart/end# to TM-notation for placeholders, does the proper escapes, and saves this as a property list (the format used for TM snippets) in the created bundle. It uses the first word of the filename (in lowercase) as the tab- trigger. And you can supply a scope to be used for the script by using -s <scope> as first argument. So for example I downloaded Marc's Bourne Shell Glossary. After mounting the disk image I ran this command from Terminal: ./glossary_to_snippet.perl -s source.shell '/Volumes/Bourne Shell Glossary.sh 1.0/Bourne Shell Glossary.sh' Then (re)start TextMate, and there's a new bundle named “Bourne Shell Glossary” which contain the snippets. This (TextMate) bundle is placed in ~/Library/Application Support/ TextMate/Bundles -- from Finder you'll need to use Show Package Contents to inspect the bundle, but you can drag it to TextMate to have a look at the contents. I hope this provides you with enough details to convert your glossaries. If you're not familiar with what the scope is, I recommend this blog posting [1]. Kind regards Allan [1] http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/07/06/introduction-to- scopes/
