Anyone got a bundle for python that works better? The built in one uses bizarre colors, the folding support doesn't work properly (and, less importantly, the nifty automatic quote closing doesn't handle """ and ''' quoted strings). I looked at the wiki, but didn't see anything for python. Any hints on improving python support would be appreciated. Regards, -- Russell

no-frills ctags

by Chris Thomas

I got curious. Here's no-frills (and no-warranty) ctags lookup suitable for use with the TM command editor. Select the identifier you're looking for and run this command to find it. Tested with the output from the ancient ctags command installed with Mac OS X. It doesn't support any 'ex' commands except pattern matching. It probably does not work with the extended ctags format, but it would be trivial to make the necessary modifications. There is one problem, however: either my URI syntax is wrong or TextMate's 'txmt://' handler doesn't seem to be handling the 'line' parameter. It would be nice to be able to access this command from the contextual menu. ruby <<END search_string = ENV['TM_SELECTED_TEXT'] exit if search_string == "" # find the tags file in the folder containing the active file tagfile_path = File.dirname(ENV['TM_FILEPATH']) + "/tags" tags = File.open(tagfile_path, "r").read tagarray = tags.scan( /(#{search_string})\t(.*?)\t\\/\\^(.*)\\\$\\/\n/ ) linearray = tagarray.collect do |t| puts t.join("\t") identifier = t[2] path = t[1] sourcefile = File.open(path, "r") while( sourcefile.gets ) break if \$_ =~ Regexp.new(Regexp.escape(identifier)) end sourcefile.lineno end tagarray.each_with_index do |t, index| puts "#{t[1]}:#{linearray[index]} #{\$_}" command = %Q{open txmt://open?url=file://#{File.expand_path(t[1])}&line=#{linearray [index]}} puts command system(command) end END

Feature Req: Big text areas in Find&Replace

by Duarte Carrilho da Graça

Hello ATM, in the find & replace dialogs (both for the signle file and project-wide), there are single line areas to type the text, even tho you can paste multiple lines there, its difficult to scroll through them. I think it'd be really good to have a box with a few lines (i.e assume the multi-line capability) Regards Duarte Carrilho da Graça

Re: [TxMt] Auto-Refresh the project drawer

by Christian Schwanke

>> it seems to me, that the project drawer does not allow automatic or >> manuel refreshment. [...] > It refreshes if you deactivate and activate TextMate. A gesture I think > I read somewhere that users have come to expect from many programs. Alright, I missed that feature :-) But anyway, I still think, that a preference for automatic refreshs would be a nice-to-have feature. And since the auto-refresh capablity is already there, it shouldn't be too difficult to do. regards, christian

How to open Textmate from external program with specific caret position?

by Joachim Mårtensson

I have been writing a little app that lists text files. When I double click the NSTableView containing the file name I want it to open in TextMate, place the caret on a specific line and scroll down to that line, just like for example xcode does when double clicking in the error list. Is there some way to accomplish this (preferably from Cocoa)? I don`t have any problems opening the file in TextMate. Its the caret positioning that is getting to me. Joachim

comparable windows editor?

by Justin French

I've got a part-timer about to start work with me on a Windows machine on some Rails stuff, and I need to recommend a free or cheap text editor for him to get started on (until I buy a macmini for him). In particular, I think he needs the project drawer, because there's a heap of files to work with in Rails, and something that has a PHP & Ruby syntax highlighter included. Sorry for being a little OT, but surely some of you must be recovering Windows types and can recommend something???

key command to switch between edit and project-file-list pane

by kumar mcmillan

Hi. I just read the latest news on the TextMate site about a "quick launch" thingie for selecting a project file [ http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/01/28/elevating-the-standard/ ] I haven't tested this out in the beta but I think this is a great idea. However, I have a much simpler request that is related to navigating around TextMate mouse-free. How about a key command to switch focus from the editor pane to the project-file-list pane. This is about the only thing left that I have to touch the mouse for when editing! Currently I manually click on a file in the project-file-list pane, use the arrows to find another one, then press enter to open it for editing (unless I'm in the mood for mousing). now... if there was a way to jump back to the file-list pane via key-command while editing that would be great. Of course, the quick launch will be helpful but the above request seems like an easy feature to add, no? Net News Wire Lite, which has the same drawer-content window layout, allows for movement between these panes via left/right arrows ... making RSS reading completely mouse free. Emacs users will love you for it Allan :) thx, K

Problem with perl snippet (bundle or Textmate?)

by Gregg Thomason

I want a perl snippet that does this: open($1, "$2") or die "Can't open file: $!\n"; while(<$3>) { $4 } I enter this into the snippet editor. What happens is: 1. The "entry point" is always $2. (in other words, type 'openTAB', get the snippet, but the insertion point is at $2) 2. hitting TAB after entering some text moves the insertion to $1, but any attempts to hit tab to move to the while ($3) fail; it just inserts a literal TAB. 3. escaping the $! with something like \$! has no effect; it always inserts '!n'. I even tried \\n and variations thereof with $! to no effect. I'm not sure if this is a side effect of the Perl syntax rules/bundle (using the stock one, I long since abandoned mine in favor of the other, superior one :) or another weirdness. As a side note, I want $1 and $3 to be the same thing; is it enough to just call 'em both $1?

Bookmarks

Do Bookmarks not persist between sessions? I just spent an hour setting up bookmarks in a markdown syntax template, thinking I'd be able to open the document in the future and F2 (Next Bookmark) through the doc to make changes. It seems bookmarks are not permanent. Why not? Is there plans to make them so? -t

Tip: Append LF's to lines in selection

by Allan Odgaard

Just a little tip, the Append to Lines in Selection can also have new-lines appended, so e.g. we can select: case NSHomeFunctionKey case NSEndFunctionKey case NSPageUpFunctionKey case NSPageDownFunctionKey Append to lines in selection and type: “:<LF>break;” to get: case NSHomeFunctionKey: break; case NSEndFunctionKey: break; case NSPageUpFunctionKey: break; case NSPageDownFunctionKey: break; Or select: if([nonBase characterIsMember:ch]) else if([upcase characterIsMember:ch]) else if([alnum characterIsMember:ch]) And type: “<LF>{<LF>” to get: if([nonBase characterIsMember:ch]) { } else if([upcase characterIsMember:ch]) { } else if([alnum characterIsMember:ch]) { }

Paging a Bundle expert... (modifying SQL syntax colors debug)

by Paul Nordstrom August

hi everyone the bad news is that the latest beta (or how I installed it) ended up deleting all my previous Custom snippets, macros etc. The good news I guess is that I'm re-doing them (not so many anyway) in a much better way :) Separately I wanted to adapt the default SQL to colorize some of the COLLATE and CHARSET data, partly just as a tutorial. My CocoaMySQL creates table definitions including the following (unfortunately with the "`" included), e.g.: > `user` varchar(20) collate utf8_bin default NULL, > [...] > ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin I wanted to offset the collate and CHARSET content so I cut-and-paste within the SQL bundle to create the following: > <dict> > <key>foregroundColor</key> > <string>#ff3300</string> > <key>match</key> > > <string>^\s*\w+\s+(collate|utf8_bin|DEFAULT|CHARSET|utf8|COLLATE)\s*</ > string> > <key>name</key> > <string>Charset Types</string> > </dict> Alas nothing happens ;) Could anyone give me a hand? This is hardly urgent, but I am just curious what I am doing wrong... FYI I based it on the following; I'm hardly a regex expert or anything but I thought I knew what was going on... Thanks! Paul > <dict> > <key>foregroundColor[1]</key> > <string>#CCBA33</string> > <key>match</key> > > <string>^\s*\w+\s+(bigint|bigserial|bit|bit\svarying$\d+$|boolean|box > |bytea|character\s(varying)? > $\d+$|char$\d+$|var\schar$\d+$|cidr|circle|date|datetime|double\s > precision|inet|int$\d+$|integer|interval$\d+$|line|lseg|macaddr|mon > ey|numeric($\d+,\d+$)? > |oid|path|point|polygon|real|smallint|serial|text|times($\d+$)(\swith > outstimeszone)?|timestamp(s($\d+$)(\swithoutstimeszone)?)? > |varchar$\d+$)\s*</string> > <key>name</key> > <string>Data Types</string> > </dict>

How to specify a Scope for a snippet

by Christian Schwanke

Hi, I've defined a sinppet that automatically expands the " character to "`"' used for quotation in latex. However, I want this behaviour only to work, when editing a *.tex-file. In the bundle-editor, there is a field named Scope and I suppose that's the one I need - However, I don't know what exactly to specify there. Any hints are gladly appriciated, Regards, Christian

Adding System Folders to Project Without Drag And Drop

by Patrick Burleson

I'm hoping I've just overlooked something to be able to do this: Instead of having to drag a folder from the Finder on the project drawer to add a live updating folder, it would be nice to be able to add them with a folder chooser much like "Add Existing Files..." . Also, I can't seem to reorder folders inside a group. Whereas I can reorder groups. Is this a current limitation? Thanks, Patrick P.S. Love the file chooser in the latest beta. It's like being in IDEA, except for my rails development. :-)

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 4, Issue 59

by Michael Gregoire

AS a long time windows and mac user, prior to OS X and TextMate, my environment for coding PHP and HTML was HTML-Kit which is the most extensible and light environment there is for PC...and it features a project panel much like the project drawer.... it is also quite easy to develop additional plugins for it if there isn't already a syntax plugin for Rails. It cames with a plug-in editor which is quite easy to figure out. Oh, and it's also Free. http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ > From: Justin French <justin.french(a)indent.com.au> > Date: January 27, 2005 10:23:20 PM EST > To: TM Users <textmate(a)lists.macromates.com> > Subject: [TxMt] comparable windows editor? > Reply-To: TM Users <textmate(a)lists.macromates.com> > > > I've got a part-timer about to start work with me on a Windows machine > on some Rails stuff, and I need to recommend a free or cheap text > editor for him to get started on (until I buy a macmini for him). > > In particular, I think he needs the project drawer, because there's a > heap of files to work with in Rails, and something that has a PHP & > Ruby syntax highlighter included. > > Sorry for being a little OT, but surely some of you must be recovering > Windows types and can recommend something???

"Save As" bug?

by Vaska.Txt

I'm very new to the group and TextMate so I hope that this has not already been hashed out. I'm having a problem when I "Save As" with an open document. What happens is the original document disappears from the project list. The new document takes its place. I have to reboot the app to get it to refresh properly so I see both the new document and the original document in the list. For now, I can work around this (by simply creating new documents and then cut and paste), but I think it's probably a bug... I'm using OSX 10.3.7 and TextMate 1.1b1 (v1.1b1). Thanks, v

Improvement: Set focus to editor after Drag&Drop operation

by Christian Schwanke

Hi, I just managed to create a custom Drag Command that works similiar to the IMG-Dragging in HTML-Mode. However, after dropping a file, TextMate inserts the correct code but the focus stays with the project Drawer. Since I insert the code as a snippet, I have to press Shift+Tab in order to focus the editor pane before I can step through the different snippet-variables. So please, set the focus to the editor pane after drop-events or at an option to configure this behaviour. I'd also like to see a popup displaying the various auto-completion options instead of the ESC-cycle solution. Thanks in advance, Christian

Autocomplete from syntax file?

by Chris Jenkins

I was wondering whether there were any plans to alter the way TM auto-completes? The current system is good, but Id like it to be able to auto complete from files other than the current one, say all open files or all files in the project. Another probably even more useful ability would be if the syntax files could specify a list of keywords that could also be auto-completed on any file. Any other thoughts on this anyone? ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Highlighting changes made to a document

by Andrew Green

Hi, Firstly, heartfelt thanks and congratulations to Allan on the latest beta. TextMate is getting better and better, seriously quickly. There's still one key feature from SubEthaEdit I'd *love* to see in TextMate, and that's the ability to highlight changes made to a document as they're made, using a background colour -- in much the same way that TM can now highlight the current line. By way of context, much of my work involves updating and tweaking code I've already written, and a great side-effect of the way SEE implements its collaborative editing is that any changes you make to a file can be highlighted as you go using a background colour of your choice. This makes it incredibly easy to see just what I've changed in the current session, so when I introduce bugs, I can very rapidly find what I've done and put it right. Could such a feature be included in TM? Or would it conflict horribly with the new syntax highlighting system? Cheers, Andrew. -- :: article seven Andrew Green automatic internet andrew(a)article7.co.uk | www.article7.co.uk

Nested snippet placeholders

by Jan-Ole Esleben

Hi! I wonder if I am the only person that would love to see nested snippets. Apparently, at the moment, snippets are processed by regular expression matching, which rules out nesting of placeholders. But wouldn't it be great if one could do something like this (that's for Prolog code): findall(${1:X}, ${2:member(${1:X}, $4)}, ${1:X}s) If you deleted $2, of course, the placeholders inside it would not be activated any more. And sorry if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find any references to this particular subject. Ole

Feature Request: Default Highlighting

by Torsten Becker

Hi Allan and List, Sorry if this already exists, but I didn't find a way to do this with the current beta. If I fire up TextMate (or activate it, because it runs all the time) I often just do some normal writing of text. For this I have a basic highlighting which just highlights URLs. But in this situation (after pressing command-n) there is no highlighting activated. I would be very pleased if there could be some preference to define a default highlighting which gets applied to new files or the ones without a defined highlighting so that I not always have to adjust it from hand to see blue URLs. :) -- Torsten Becker

default fold level

by Jamal Johnson

howdy, is there a way to setup a default fold level for a particular mode so when you open a file in that mode it will automatically fold at that level? i looked in the help and at some syntax highlighting examples but didn't see anything of the sort. also, i would like to say i LOVE cmd-T!! i'm not using the project drawer at all anymore. i have 2 requests concerning it tho. 1) can the list 'wrap' so when you get to the top or bottom using arrow keys, it will wrap to the bottom / top respectively? 2) can there be an option to show the 'path' of the file, either in a tooltip or after the file name because i have many files with the same name in some of my projects and i can't tell which is which. thanx! - jamal
