That helps a lot... Can we save certain ones (esp grep searches) and
give them a name somehow (someday!)?
On reading the change notes in b10 I discovered the context menus for
selected text -- never used them previously but I love them.
Amazing progress as usual. Thanks Allan.

sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand, are you saying that it does
work for you, or it doesn't? I've installed all the latest updates now,
but there is no change, it still doesn't launch, just appears in the
dock briefly for a split second and then vanishes again. I don't get a
crash message either.
I'm running 10.3.6 on a G4 dual 1.4Ghz.
weird.

Is there a way left to move the cursor to the top of the window? Pageup
used to do this, and while I understand that it's not HIG or like other
apps do it, I was just getting used to it :-)

Greetings folks,
recent $'er for this great editor. Longtime vi user, but always wishing
for a highly configurable editor that was more os x-integrated.
Couple questions/suggestions:
Any way to make a Command which can work with the $TM_FILEPATH variable
-- except with a .pdf extension? This is good really only for opening
the .pdf file in e.g. TeXniscope for the first time. …or another
method?
Also -- after running a little pdflatex Command on a file, I'm finding
that there's no really optimal output method. I'm often working on a
12", so a full window devoted to the results (which I generally only
need to see if there's an error) is a little bulky, especially as the
focus moves to the said new window. The tooltip output looks promising
(it disappears at the touch of a key), but it seems to appear with the
top left corner at the cursor -- which often leaves the bulk of the
window off the screen.
Thanks, thanks, thanks for TextMate!

I do like the indented paste feature but find that it's one of the
features that I'm constantly turning on and off, depending on what I'm
working on. It would be nice if this feature were moved out of the
preferences and back into the Text menu where's it more readily accessible.
Thanks!

Here is my current kludge to get two HTML Tidy commands: one replaces
a window with its Tidy-ed version, and another just produces a window
with clickable error output. Note that (bug? feature?) if HTML Tidy
thinks there are errors in your document and you do a 'replace' then
it will place the errors at the top of the document. You can fiddle
with the Tidy flags to avoid that.
Also note that my version only runs on the last saved version and not
the current one. That can also be tweaked...
Anyway, get HTML Tidy from http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ then install
it someplace convenient. I put the command-line version at ~/bin/tidy
Report Errors Command:
Before: nothing
Command: ~/bin/tidy -e "$TM_FILEPATH"
Stdin: None
Stout: Sep window
Pattern: line (\d+) column (\d+) - (.*?)$
Format: $3
Line: 1
Replace Document with Tidy-ed Version Command:
Before: nothing
Command: ~/bin/tidy -bicq "$TM_FILEPATH"
Stdin: None
Stout: Replace doc
Pattern:
Format:
Line:
Works great for me!

I just opened a 1.5M XML document in TM. My XML syntax isn't all that
lean, and it takes a while for TM to highlight everything and become
responsive. Currently, I do not know of any way to open a file without
syntax highlighting. That'd be one nice thing to have... The other
would be for TM to pop up a little dialog if highlighting hasn't
completed after, say, 10 seconds and give the option to abort the open,
continue highlighting (until done), or open without highlighting.

hi,
at first i must say that textmate definitely rocks, it is really THE
missing editor i was searching for. and its a not unimportant reason
why i bought my ibook.
but this doesn't mean its already perfect i still like to see some
features or at least small changes. :)
for example:
- parenthesis highlights (or smart typing highlights) like in komodo.
i have been using activestate komodo quite a long time but because it
was a bit to big and slow and not extensible enough i don't use it
anymore, but one thing was really cool: the parenthesis highlighting.
in textmate you have to roll over the parenthesis with the caret to
get it highlighted, in komodo you just have to be near it and it gets
highlighted (normally it gets red and bold), i like this more than
always have to move with the caret forward and backward, its
especially more comfortable in heavy nested statements or lisp :). so
i would it like to see implemented this way in textmate.
- simple formating in tool tips, probably like in html so that one can
make bold, underlined and italic text, this would be very nice because
bigger tool tips would be better readable.
- better placement of tool tips. if you have a really big tool tip
(or just a normal big one) and your caret is a bit to near to the
right of the screen, the tool tip is shown out of the desktop, i found
this a bit useless sometimes and i want to suggest to place tool tips
a bit more user friendly.
thats it, i also would like to see some other features like the
right-click-menu in the dock and a user adjustable color-system, but
this already have been mentioned and i don't want to repeat them again
and again.
thanks for this great tool.

I wish I could format the output of TM's commands in html, and make
html links able to launch other TextMate commands !
Thus one could display error reports, stats, links and stuff very
nicely !!
I would also like to be able to use a TextMate webkit window that would
be called from somewhere else.
In order to debug my php scripts, I currently have a script watch php's
log using kernel notifications (kqueue) and trigger a cocoa window
alert on each error.
I wish this window could be an interactive one, in Textmate. Thus I
could jump directly to the error by clicking a link, etc...
Possibilities would be unlimited !

I would like to be able to automatically run a script, when a certain
event happens (such as, a file save), depending on the file-extension
(and maybe also depending on the project).
For example, what I really like to do:
If I save a file that ends in .rb, I want to automatically run a
command that does a "ruby $TM_PROJECT_DIR/test/unittests.rb". If it
fails, it could send me a notification through growl
(http://growl.info)
Hello,
I am really starting to love textmate. I want to add functionality
that will either comment or uncomment the selected text. Right now i
have two commands; one that prepends '# ' to the line and one that
strips the first '# ' on the line. I would really like to have this
handily accessible under one command and have it automagically decide
wether or not I want to comment or uncomment the line. I am sure that
others have added this sort of functionality. Anyone have a graceful
solution?
While I am here does anyone have any handy python editing
commands/macros?

hi,
because the homepage of the wiki is a bit down i post this to the list.
i did build 2 bundles and want to share them, probably some find them
usefull :) :
- mips bundle: syntax-highlighting for mips assemler which you
probably need when you write something for spim
- graphviz bundle: syntaxhighlighting for dot files, this is maybe
usefull when you configured textmate as graphivizs external editor and
you want colored keywords.

Hi
If I save a file from TM to ~/Documents/ and then move it from finder
to ~/Documents/ivar/ I would love it if TM could sense that move (I
think it does when using projects).
Just like SEE TM could ask something like "This file has been moved. It
will be saved to the '~/Documents/ivar/' folder, or you can specify
another location.".
kind regards

Hah! That's the icon I'm using too! The red makes it stand out, it
looks like a robot and it's cool! - Eric
Would it be possible to distribute the TM bundles separately (maybe the
way Konfabulator does, updating the "official" ones when a new release
comes out)? I don't do any C++, PHP, or ASP coding, so I don't see any
reason to keep those bundles around; they get replaced every time I
upgrade TM, however.

Hi
I'd like to see something like SEE:s way of letting you switch between
different "File Encodings".
I think it's the best way of switching encodings so far!
I might have missed something but right now all I know of is the
"Re-Open With Encoding:" menu which I rarely use. Mostly because I
don't need to change file encoding that often but secondly because it
forces me to save my file to be able to switch encoding.
kind regards
ivar
ps. I really(!!) like b8 and the cleanup of menus!

Here's my kludged version of it for Perl using TM
commands, which pops up a separate window listing
all the subroutines (i.e. lines that begin with
'sub ').
Make a command:
- before: Do Nothing
- Command: grep -n "^sub "
- Std In: Entire document
- Std out: Show in separate win
- Pattern: ^(\d+):(.*)$
[this parses out the grep output so we can identify the line part]
- Format: $2
- Line:1
This idea can be tweaked to fit the language of
your choice. I think you can pipe it cleverly
through sort to get the subroutines alphabetized.
good luck, Eric

my first impression on that issue was: of course there's a need to be
able to navigate within the search string using the cursor keys, after
all that's the way osx behaves in any kind of text input field with the
focus (even in incremental searches, like in itunes).
but then i tested it myself in textmate and found that this behaviour
isn't necessarily what i expected here, because the search string's
corresponding part in the document was highlighted and i thought it
would be intuitive using the cursor keys now to directly navigation in
the document.
so i no longer have a definite opinion with it. gui or not to gui,
that's the question ... ;-)

Sorry I forgot to mention that i-search requires two new key binding
entries which you'll need to manually add if you made a local copy:
"^s" = "ISIM_incrementalSearch:";
"^S" = "ISIM_reverseIncrementalSearch:";
I named my methods the same as the ISearch InputManager/Plugin. So if
you already have this installed, the key bindings from your "global"
key bindings file should already make it work, _except_ that ISIM use
control-r for the reverse search, TextMate is using that for 'execute
line', which is why I choose control-S.
Maybe this is why reverse search doesn't work for you Wayne?
Regarding aborting the search with movement keys, that would pretty
much make it impossible to go back and make edits in the search string
(other than backspace), but maybe no-one does that?
Has this been brought up as a feature request? skEdit's (i'm using it
while I wait for my Paypal deposit) tidy functionality is very well
thought out. I'd like to see something similar in TM.
