The -w wait mode now switches back to the Terminal program upon window close. You can set which program (or no switching) by editing the OPENTERMAPP variable. E.g.

updated command-line-tool

by Eric Hsu

Okay, somebody had the brilliant and easy idea of adding a little 'Hit RETURN' kludge to allow use of TM with svn and other external editing. So I tweaked the command line tool I posted and added a better help listing and a -w to have it block until the user hits RETURN. I have used it successfully to check it into SVN and use TM to write the comment. The little pleasures! :) You can get it at <http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Scripts/tm>. If you need this tool, you don't need my help installing it... best, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: [TxMt] Feature request: "see" like SubEthaEdit

by Eric Hsu

1. I have appended a shell script that launches TM and allows piped input. I did not write the script; in fact, I merely found it in my ~/bin directory and thought that it came with the standard TM install. The -c option lets you create a new file. It does lack the crucial 'don't quit until editing is done' feature. Here are three kludges I can think of to get that feature. Given a -wait flag: a. add a block at the end of the script that creates a $TM_FILE.lock in the same directory and checks every N seconds for the .lock file. When it's gone, quit the script. Then create a command that saves current file and deletes the .lock file. Finally, write a little macro that saves, closes the window and runs the 'delete .lock' command. In a future version of TM that triggers scripts/commands on events, one can avoid the command and macro, and have 'Close Window' trigger the deletion of the lock file. b. have the shell script loop and check for changes to the modification date on the file. Unfortunately, that means it will quit on the first save. But you don't need any fiddling with macros and commands. c. call the Textmate Service from a (different) shell script. The TM Service definitely blocks whatever app calls it. In other contexts this might be a bug, but here it's great. However, I don't know how to pipe text to a Cocoa Service from the command line. This may be rather hard.

split view

by Andreas Bueler

Hi guys, is there a way to split a page in 2 views? Nice, when working with a lot of properties in a class. So I can have all the properties show up in one view, while working on other parts in the class. It would also be nice to have a split view with two different files. Like classfile1 on top and classfile2 on the bottom. Best Regards, Andy

View Man Page in Safari command

by Chris Thomas

This gets more interesting once we have a way to direct HTML to the preview window. Another thing that would be nice: command execution from URLs, which would allow the references to other man pages to work. But there are -- of course -- security implications to that feature. Perhaps if it only works in the preview window, not system-wide. ruby -e " def error( message ) %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{message}\" end tell END } end def ask(question, answer = '$TM_SELECTED_TEXT') %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{question}\" default answer \"#{answer}\" set answername to text returned of the result do shell script (\"/bin/echo \" & answername) end tell END} end error('Xcode tools must be installed to view man pages') if not File.exist?('/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman') name = ask('Display man page for which command?') name.chomp! temptemp = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.TMmantemp} temphtml = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.html} %x{man #{name} > #{temptemp}} # generate HTML and open it if successfully found the entry if not \$?.success? then # puts 'No manual entry for ' + name %x{open -a TextMate &} # switch back to TextMate else %x{cat #{temptemp} | \"/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman\" -fHTML > #{temphtml}} %x{open #{temphtml}} end "

Pattern name available as a shell variable? (re: PHP code-completion)

by Ian

Hi, I'm currently rewritiing the php code completion thingy, and I'd like it to be scope sensitive. To find the scope at the cursor I can use the file as stdin, and work it out myself. But it struck me that I'd be able to work some things out based on the current pattern applications (like 'Embedded PHP', and being in quotes). So a couple of questions. * could we have a variable $TM_PATTERN_NAME which gives the current pattern name? * would there be a way to access patterns names 'higher up'? (like 'Embedded PHP')? I'm wanting to figure out the scope because I'm implementing scope sensitive completion, including completions based on your own code. Any comments, advice, much appreciated. Ian White

Asian language input methods

by Jonathon Delacour

Having just returned to the Macintosh after eight years of using Windows (and TextPad), one of the first applications I installed was TextMate. Twenty minutes later, when I'd piped my first text through markdown.pl and created my first tab-activated snippets, I was already happy to pay the license fee. However, I then found it wasn't possible to enter Japanese text. The list archives revealed that Kazuo Saito had already raised this issue (http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-December/001824.html) and that Allan Odgaard had promised a fix: > I can't give an ETA on when this will be fixed, but I can imagine it's > frustrating for those who rely on these input methods, so I'll try not > to have “the fix” pending for too long. I appreciate that perhaps only a tiny minority of TextMate users need to work with Asian languages but was hoping that it might be possible to give an approximate ETA on when this will be fixed. I really don't want to waste time looking for an alternative to TextMate. Thanks, Jonathon Delacour

Icon Suggestion

by Torsten Becker

hi, some people on the list talked about the icon and it seemed they didn't like it very much. i dont hate the old icon but it also doesnt impress me every time i see it, so over the weekend i had too much freetime and fired up inkscape to play around a bit. here is the result, i would like to hear some opinions how you like it or not. its inspired a bit by subethaedits icon and by the color-circle one posted here on the list and so i filled it purple to fit the gap. :) -- Torsten Becker

Changing Tab-Behavior

by Andreas Bueler

Hi, I'm new to the list, so please forgive me, if this has being asked before. Is it possible to change the tab behavior of TextMate? For example I find it strange that single line intending to the right works correctly (using tabs), but if you try to tab back to the left site, it is using spaces instead of tabs. It would also be great to change the behavior of multi line tabbing. I'm so used to use the tab key to intend to the right and "apple key" together with the tab key to move lines to the left. But if I do that, the lines I would like to intend, are deleted. (I hope you understand what I mean.. sorry for my english) Other then that I really like TextMate. Kind Regards, Andy Switzerland

filtering command with CocoaDialog

by Eric Hsu

hi folks, Another tip I thought I'd share. I often have situations where I have to discard all lines in a file that start with a number, or other cleanup tasks like that. Now, you can use TM's Text>Filter Through Command... and then use grep or grep -v. But I have a hard time remembering grep's regexp format. It's already all I can do to remember TM's and Perl's. So I wanted to write a command to pop up a GUI input field so I could enter in a Perl regexp for lines to match with two buttons so I could either Keep only the matching lines or Discard the matching lines. So what I did was toss together a quick script in Perl and use CocoaDialog as a front-end. To use this, you need to download CocoaDialog from <http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/download.html>, and put it in /Applications. (If you don't like that place, change the path in the script.) If you don't have a need for this script, you still might be able to get some mileage out of CocoaDialog. It is a simple way to get GUI onto any script that talks to the command-line. It has a number of different window formats. Pashua is neat, but it requires use-ing a module, and Platypus is more for creating drag-and-drop things. good luck, Eric --- TM Command. Before: nothing Command: my$CD="/Applications/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog";my$rv=`$CD inputbox --title "Filter with Regexp" --no-newline \\ --informative-text "Filter lines matching this Perl regular expression:" \\ --text "" \\ --button1 "Keep" --button2 "Discard" \\ --width 500`;my($button_rv,$term)=split/\n/,$rv,2;while(<STDIN>){if($button_rv==2){unless(/$term/){print;}}elsif($button_rv==1){if(/$term/){print;}}} Stdin: selected Stdout: replace selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

YAIT (Yet Another Icon Thread)

by Jon Raphaelson

I posted another set of icons to the wiki today, but I'll announce it here. They are more in line (I think) with aqua-style editor icons (pages and pen), and they use a lot of ideas garnered from the list archives. There are six colors in the disk image, so hopefully you will find one you like, and they all have been designed to degrade gracefully (48 is less detailed so it's not burry and 32 and 16 are even more so). I would appreciate any feedback/comments etc. preview: http://www.eight7.com/repository/tmicon_preview.png icons: http://www.eight7.com/repository/tmicons.dmg.gz Thanks all!

Re: [TxMt] LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

>If using LaTeXTidy.pl and your LaTex Tidy bundle command, were should >LaTeXTidy.pl be placed. I tried usr/local/bin but that did not work. >Should I place it inside the bundle itself. First, make sure it's set to execute (chmod +x LaTeXTidy.pl). Then either place it in your PATH and call it as LaTeXTidy.pl or put it somewhere you like, e.g. /usr/local/bin/LaTeXTidy.pl and call it with its full path in the command. I hope that works! If you put it in the same bundle as the command, then call it with wither the full path if you know it, or with "$TM_BUNDLE_PATH"/LaTeXTidy.pl if you think you might move it someday. Good luck, Eric ps. Backup your documents! Check! This works for me, but you should be cautious.

syntax color schemes

by Brian Lalor

I'd like to play around a bit with an alternative light-on-dark color scheme for my bundles, but, in the same way that I can't draw a straight line with a ruler (but can appreciate architecture) I am completely inept at picking text colors that have high contrast and look good (but I know them when I see them). I know someone (or someones) whipped up a C bundle with a light-on-dark scheme, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought I might start by looking at that, but what might be better is if someone could point me to a resource that had examples of high-contrast color schemes for text highlighting. :-) Anyone?

LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

Here is a little command I've written (as usual, a wrapper around a Perl script), which naively tries to indent your LaTeX file intelligently. If it succeeds, there are two good side effects. First, your file looks nicer. Second, your file foldings work correctly, as TM is cued by the indentation. Good luck. Check the file, if you use it. It works for me, your mileage may vary. I've appended the one-liner version. Since it is a blob of line noise, I also have a link to the latest version of the uncompressed Perl, which is at <http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Latex.tmbundle/LaTeXTidy.…> You can put that somewhere and write a command to call it instead. I suspect anyone with issues with the folding could customize this script for their language if necessary. I know PerlTidy and HTMLTidy exist. I couldn't find a TeXTidy, so I wrote this last year... - Eric -- Before: Nothing STDIN: Entire STDOUT: Replace doc Command: perl -e 'my$in;while(<STDIN>){$in.=$_;}my@keywords=qw( appendix author bibliography bigskip chapter date def document evensidemargin font headheight headsep include index make new noindent oddsidemargin page paragraph part ragged renew section subsection subsubsection subsubsubsection table textheight textwidth title topmargin use vfil);$in=~s/\%(.*?)\n/\n\n\%$1\n\n/g;my@pieces=split(/\n\s*\n/,$in);my$string,$keyword;foreach(@pieces){if(/^\s*\%/){$string.=$_."\n";next;}s/\s+/ /g;foreach$keyword(@keywords){s/(\\$keyword)/\n$1/g;}s/([^\\]\%)/\n$1/g;s/(\\begin\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\end\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\item)(.*?)(\\item)/$1$2\n$3/g;s/(\\item)/\n$1/g;s/[^\\](\\\[)/\n$1/g;s/(\\\])/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\)\s/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\\[)(.*?)(\])\s/$1$2$3\n/g;s/\n\s*\n/\n/g;s/^\n//;chomp;$string.=$_."\n\n";}$string=~s/\n\s+\n/\n\n/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(end)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(begin)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\\end)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;$string=~s/(\\begin)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;@pieces=split(/\[\n\n\n\]/,$string);my$indent=1;my@lines;my$piece,$i;$string="";foreach$piece((a)pieces){$piece=~s/\{\n\n\n\}//g;$piece=~/^\\(.*?)\{/;if(lc($1)eq"begin"){$indent++;}else{$indent--;}@lines=split(/\n/,$piece);foreach(@lines){s/^\s+//;if(/^\\begin/i){for($i=1;$i<=$indent-1;$i++){$string.="\t";}}else{for($i=1;$i<=$indent;$i++){$string.="\t";}}$string.=$_."\n";}}print$string;'

Could we change the menu under which macros/snippets/commands are shown?

by Chris Brierley

I love the new mode-based menu interface for macros/snippets/commands. What I'd really love is if I could control which mode menu they show up in. For example, I've made a couple of commands that are related to HTML. However, since I've made them myself, they show up under the "Custom" menu, when I'd really like them to be under "HTML". Maybe, like with the syntax files, a "mode" key could be added to the macros/snippets/commands plist files where I could specify which mode they should be a part of? What do you think? Thanks much.

Turn off auto-indent?

by Brian Smith

Wow--I use TextPad daily on my PC at work and always wished there was a text editor like it for the Mac where I could easily switch between documents with tabs. And the ability to call a shell script to do a word count or any other UNIX command and have the output appear as a tooltip, new window, or whatever you want--brilliant, and really easy to use. This is probably the first time I've wished TextPad could do some things a Mac editor can do, and not vice versa. There's only one seemingly minor thing that's keeping me from buying TextMate right now and retiring Tex-Edit Plus--TextMate's auto-identing feature, where if I have a paragraph of text (not code), it automatically inserts a tab on the next line when I hit return. This drives me nuts because while I use my Mac editor for HTML at times, I mainly use it to write documents that have normal indented paragraphs of text. At the end of a paragraph in a word processor or email program I'm conditioned to hit return, then hit tab for the next paragraph--so having TextMate indent the next paragraph automatically just means I end up with two tabs. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off auto-indenting of new lines, or is that a feature being considered for a future release? If there is a way to turn that off and I just can't find it, I apologize for being an idiot in advance...anyway, thanks to the developer for creating this, keep up the good work, -Brian
