Hi,
Following advice of some people, i'm giving TextMate a try.
There is a feature i don't find in TextMate: hard wrapping. I'm
editing big XML files and i've not figured how to automatically cut
the lines when they reach the right column.
I know about Soft Wrap, but i don't want to use it as the document
will be sent to people who are using different text editors: i don't
want they see a paragraph as a single long long line.
In fact, i'm a Emacs user and i need something like 'auto-fill-mode' :
when the line reaches the right margin, Emacs insert a newline.
To achieve the same thing with TextMate, the only way i've found so
far is to reformat the paragraph or the selection, which is not very
productive.
Is there something to automate this process or should i live with it?
Best regards,
--
Jaco
Please consider at some point changing the soft wrapping algorithm so it
indents to the same level as the first (non-space/tab) character in the
line. Anyone think this would be a *bad* idea (in which case perhaps it
could be a preference)?

P.S. this mailing list is now available from news.gmane.org as news
group gmane.editors.textmate.general.
We released version 1.0.5 of Yummy FTP today which fixes the remote editing crash,
provides full VMS support, and a handful of other nice things.
If anyone wants to beta test future versions, or if you just have a question, please don't
hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Jason

I imagine that this might have been covered before, so forgive me if so, but
is there any plans to build a file differencing tool into TextMate? I'm
talking about something akin to the interface that BBEdit provides, or Xcode
for that matter. I find that's the only reason I pop back to BBEdit now, the
ability to step through the differences line by line and copy the changes
between the files is very useful.

Here's an item that bugs me a lot, and there is probably not any
solution, but just maybe...
Often I'm editing text in a textarea on a web page, and I'd like to
edit it in my Favorite Real Editor. Of course I can select all, copy,
go to editor, open new, paste, edit, select all, copy, find browser
window, select all in the textarea, paste.
Is there a way to make this easier? Like hit a key and the editor
opens a window with the text. When I close (and save) the results are
returned to my browser window, and so am I.
I suppose there might be some hack where I could select text, hit a
keystroke (or something) and have the select text appear in the editor,
then if the default were to select all+copy when closing the window,
...
Anyway, some better solution to this problem would be really great.
A specialized hack might be to have the txmt: protocol thing integrated
so that the editor could fetch text via HTTP and know where to POST the
text upon completion of the edit. This may be a complete waste of
development effort since webdav is the right and proper solution here.
(By the way, I haven't used webdav to any extent really.)
This whole thought-stream was launched when I started looking at wikis
again. I love the ease-of-use of wikis, EXCEPT for editing in HTML
textarea blocks.
Hi all,
textmate launches dreamweaver MX '04 when opening php files from the
project drawer. When I open '.inc' files it launches subethaedit! The
file opens in both dreamweaver and in a TextMate tab.
Anyone know how I stop TextMate doing this?
Thanks
Paul
The line numbers in the gutter don't always update correctly.
TextMate version: 1.0.2 (v1.0.2b10)
Steps to replicate:
Type in a few long lines, that get soft wrapped over multiple lines.
Go to the beginning of the third "soft" line, and press enter.
Go to the beginning of the second "soft" line, and press enter.
Expected result: line numbers get recalculated, so that the third line
gets number 3
Real result:
Here are two things I find obtrusive in TextMate, one of which is
probably just me not finding the right function.
1. I would like to see TextMate windows not going off the screen when
they are opened, or under the dock. I use a pretty small screen
(compared to lots of you) at 1024x768, and I like my windows to be full
size (and not go under the dock). Maximizing a TM window sizes it
perfectly - but then opening a new window offsets both downward and to
the right, resulting in a partially obscured window and a petty bug.
2. Is there a way to insert a template from a bundle somewhere into an
empty file or into a file create outside of a project? A menu item to
let me insert the xhtml strict template would save me a lot of time,
and seems like something that TM should have.
Anyone have any input on either of these little bothers? Am I just
completely missing something? Thanks!
Kjell
I've been using TM since it came out and I should have reported this earlier.
It seems that TM is overly agressive with regards to caching a
directory listing int he "Open" dialog box. I have files that get
generated ( or that I create externally) that I want to edit in TM,
but if I've already been in that directory in the current TM session,
then I won't see the new files. I haven't figured out how to get TM to
refresh this list. Any ideas? Or is this a bug/feature?
Thanks,
Patrick

Your code boxes look beautiful! I realized by accident that if you
simply indent text, then it shows up as <pre></pre> text, so that's
how I ported the ShellScriptCorner page. Not as nice looking, but
easier.
Let me note that though the wiki is slightly annoying to use,
Textmate made it a lot easier!! In Omniweb, I just select all and
command-Escape and edit the textbox in TM, save and close to go back.
It makes life a lot easier.

These tmbundles are intended to cover the languages as roughly defined
by Ada 95, Fortran 77, Fortran 95, and GNU Pascal.
I'm not an expert at any of these languages, but I believe the folding
for Ada and Pascal is useful.
As for Fortran folding, I didn't even try. I'm happy to add folding
support if someone will tell me where best to start and end the folds.
(Or, of course, you're welcome to modify the tmbundle and upload it
yourself :).

The wiki has been updated accordingly.

After reading about various wiki's (and trying a few) I ended up
choosing PmWiki as suggested by Fred.
The new Wiki URL is: http://macromates.com/wiki/pmwiki
It has a link to a static HTML version of the old wiki before the
accident including all the textile pages. The textile pages are
up-to-date, but the HTML export was done the 12th December, so edits
after the 12th of December are not in the HTML version.
I haven't imported the textile pages into PmWiki, since they'd have to
be converted, and I'm not sure how easy I can automate this process.
So I'm thinking that maybe I should just leave the static pages and
import them manually over time (as they are needed), which also allow
for some restructuring of the wiki, which I think was probably overdue
(break down most of the big pages and create a better structure).
I'm really terrible sorry about this, and I hope that it's not viewed
as lack of appreciation for the many contributors -- I really do
appreciate the work that has been put into the wiki!
With this new wiki it also means that I can and will take an active
role maintaining the software side of things (which I previously
thought I'd outsourced, but let's not point any fingers here... ;) ).
Kind regards Allan
I have two requests that I would REALLY like to see coming soon in textmate:
(1) the most important !!! (and I am probably not alone in that): bring back the proper behaviour for CTRL-Y (yank).
Coming Emacs and using this command in all the Apple programs, I always find myself trying it in textmate, to no avail.
CTRL-Y should cut lines, one after the other, and put them in a buffer. I would recommend that it uses the soft and hard-wrap lines the same way, in a transparent manner.
I have adopted textmates last October as my sole text editor, but I miss sorely CTRL-Y
(2) Indented reformatting.
It would be most useful if the formatting of paragraphs following the indentation of first line. This way, we can format text in a latex file, for example, with the proper visual look.
So, if there is 3 spaces before the first character in the first line of the paragraph, the whole paragraph should be formatted with 3 white spaces in front.
(3) Intelligent-tab in programming-language modes
This is also a feature that I love from emacs and that I miss here. While in a programming mode, hitting TAB anywhere on the line shifts the whole line by a tab (SHIFT-TAB does the same in reverse). This makes it very easy when programming to add loops, etc.
I look forward to having those included in textmate. An otherwise very nice editor.
Greetings,
Normand Mousseau
Hi.
I'm not sure if there is some minor adjustment I can make to fix this
.... but after installing 1.0.2 my PHP auto-indenting did not work
anymore. Here is the pattern from the PHP.plist file that was working
fine in <= 1.0.1 :
increaseIndentPattern = "^.*(\\{[^}\"']*|\\([^)\"']*)$";
any suggestions? I know the bundle is active because my custom syntax
highlighting works.

David finally found the time to merge the rollback patch into instiki
but in the process zapped all pages from after november the 5th
(apologies on his behalf for not updating the wiki with this info).
I have a backup of all the current pages, so they are not lost -- but
there is no easy way to import them, so I do think this is the chance
to move to another wiki.
I have no experience with other wiki software, a few things that would
be nice:
o run under apache (to allow for robots.txt and fine-masked
authentication)
o some wiki-spam prevention
o page history with rollback of course ;)
o would be preferable if the syntax is textile for compatibility
o and preferable also if it can import pages easily
If there are any suggestions, it would be nice to know how they fit
with the above requests.
I love column typing, but i dont use it as much as i want because I
rarely have things formated in a way that'll allow using it.
I think it'd be great to be able to just alt-click a bunch of places
to enable column typing (no need to be the same char. num in each
line), and do the column typing in the places you clicked (of course
then it wouldnt really be *column* typing, but i think it's a very
intuitive enhancement...)

Awhile back I seem to remember Allen suggesting he could create a
TextMate protocol (e.g. txmt://path/to/my/file). I've come to the
conclusion that if this was available, I would use it a lot.
Here's one example:
I use Markdown syntax for most of my writing nowadays, but once I've
written something, I want to view it looking nice in a web browser.
Invariably, I need to edit the file later. I have three options: I
could put up a text area and edit it in the web browser. I could launch
my ftp program and Edit Externally... the file. Or I could
automatically launch TextMate, my editor of choice, with a simple
txmt:// link on the web page.
Best, Eric

I came across a similar problem when writing a php command completion
tool (http://ian.ardes.com/phpcc).
The way I solved it was to write two separate commands, one outputting
as a snippet, the other as a tooltip.
I then wrote a macro to run both of these commands, and bound this
macro to the desired key.

Main editor window cannot handle inputs from input method properly.
When typing Japanese characters, no characters were displayed and I
could
not type characters anymore(includes ASCII chars) until I move cursor
to another line. Other input methods than Japanese, Hangul and Chinese,
seems to have same problem. All other widgets, project drawers, tabs,
dialogs and menu items work fine.
Thanks,

PS:
Are there any plan to add localizations? I'm translating .nib files
into Japanese actually.
Requests
- incremental search, I would like Cmd-W to close the window, even if it
*is* still in I.S. mode
- it would be nice to be able to refresh syntax hightlighting styles without
having to relaunch TextMate, and have it redraw the open windows (so you
could edit, refresh, and review effects).
Help..
- in HTML-PHP style, I somehow can't get the {} pair to indent anymore if I
hit enter in between them :-( looked at the syntax files but that regex got
too complicated for 5 AM..

Martin
