Hi Allan, I was thinking that it would be useful if, in the Open Recent menu, you separated Projects from Files with a horizontal divider. See the attached for one implementation idea. Chris -- Do the evolution. Get Firefox! <http://spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=affiliates&id=5&t=4>

tab emulation only at start of line

by M Spreij

Would it be possible to have tab-emulation only function at the start of a line? Extremely few (if any) of the documents I edit directly have a column layout (where tabs would be useful), I only really use them for indentation.. and when editing regular text it'd be nice to have backspace/delete only remove one space at the time. Regards, Martin

some bugs and requests for the project drawer

by kumar mcmillan

I know you are working heavily on the project drawer and may know this, but FYI ... Bug: TextMate does not consistently move files (on the hard disk) as they are moved in the project drawer. Reproduce: Set up a project with several existing files added from a directory, lets say ~/Sites/lib/php/report . they are not grouped in the project drawer, just loose. Then, in the project drawer there is a group called unit_tests, which exists on disk as ~/Sites/unit_tests. I have a file named settings.ini that is from the reports directory but not grouped anywhere in the project drawer. I like to alphabetize my list of files so I can easily find them later, which means dragging the files into place manually. in doing so, say I accidentally move settings.ini file into the group unit_tests. What happens is that TextMate physically moves settings.ini into ~/Sites/unit_tests. Back in the project drawer when I notice the mistake, I move it out of the unit_tests group but TextMate does not physically move the file out of ~/Sites/unit_tests back into ~/Sites/lib/php/reports, like it should. This confuses TextMate (and me) and when i repopen a project, the files are back in unit_tests. aside from that ... what about the ability to set a root directory for the project drawer so the project drawer can be an instance of the mac os x finder in list mode? Maybe you could have several roots if your project contained files scattered around the hard disk (which doesn't seem like a typical scenario to me). if nothing else, I would like to have the option to alphabetize the project drawer. This would just make dealing with large amounts of files easier. in any event the project drawer is still very useful in its current state. thanks, Kumar

embedding snippets; find in macros

by otheraccount＠verizon.net

Hi all, Unless I'm doing something terribly stupid, it seems it's impossible to use a snippet while in another snippet without losing the tab placeholders of the first... Is that right? That'd be sort of disappointing, especially since snippets are part of what makes TextMate elegant and customizable---would that be hard to fix? And a related automating-stuff point: Would it be possible for find operations performed by macros not to wipe out the previous find string? This too I think would immediately make lots of things possible that were only semi-possible before... (Alternatively, you could get the same functionality by allowing commands to select text and move the cursor without the mediation of the separate window, which would be even cooler---you could do stuff like selecting the current sentence or the current block---but seems like it might be a larger undertaking...)

[Macro] HTLM to LaTeX

by jose.campos+tm＠galacsys.com

Hi All, Using my fingers and RegEx, I hardly manage to convert simple HTML file to TeX file, something like : find : <h1>([^<]+)</h1> replace : \\section{$1} find : <h2>([^<]+)</h2> replace : \\subsection{$1} find : <ul> replace : \\begin{itemize} find : <blockquote>([^<]+)</blockquote> replace : \\begin{quotation}\n$1\n\\end{quotation} and so on... Has someone here written a macro that does that job? It would be very helpfull :) Thanks, -- Jo <W:00°04'37" ; N:47°15'36"> 1....'....12.....'....24.....'....36.....'....48.....'....60.....'....72

secret Help menu

by kumar mcmillan

wow, accidentally pressed the Help key while typing in TextMate and found a menu with the following options: Dictionary Search Google Search Thesaurus Search Wikipedia Search Yahoo Search Upon selecting an item, TextMate passes the current word under the cursor to the said service. very nice. I haven't seen this in other programs -- is this an OS X thing? Or better yet ... Is there a plist somewhere in TextMate to add to the list? k

Dragging CSS Link Into XHTML Doc Doesn't Close Tag

I noticed that when dragging a .css file into a transitional XHTML document, the link tag isn't properly closed. Just wondering if you could add doctype detection for drag-inserting links to files. Chris -- Do the evolution. Get Firefox! <http://spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=affiliates&id=5&t=4>

project won't handle unknown file

by kumar mcmillan

wondering if this is a bug or intended somehow ... I opened a file, params.ini, to edit in TextMate. TextMate handled it fine besides no sytax highlighting since none has been defined presumably. But when I added it to a project with other PHP files, the file would not open in TextMate. For example, I clicked on it once from the project drawer and nothing would happen. if I double-clicked on it the file opened in SubEthaEdit (which I think was a decision made by the Finder). Shouldn't undefined text files still open in TextMate from the project drawer? Do I need to create a syntax plist as a workaround in the meantime? TextMate 1.01. thanks, kumar

snippets for MySQL; escaping "`"?

by Paul Nordstrom August

I'm about to embark on a lengthy and complex project (changing 30-odd FileMaker tables into MySQL). Usually I use the (excellent) CocoaMySQL for table creation but I thought I'd explore using snippets in TM... Basically it works like a charm (create table, add date field, add varchar, add int...), though I haven't tested it vs CocoaMySQL to see which will be faster (as CMS offers more tweaking of the field definitions). But I figure I can whack out the fields in TM then import the whole .sql file into CMS for the tweaking, adding indexes, etc. > CREATE TABLE textmate ( > textmate_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, > tm_user varchar(50) default NULL, > user_no int(5) default NULL, > user_email varchar(50) default NULL, > entry_date date default NULL, > PRIMARY KEY (textmate_id) > ) ENGINE=InnoDB; The one thing I can't manage to sort out is including e.g. "`textmate_id`" since the "`" is used in the snippets to evoke a shell command... I tried escaping with "\`" but that didn't work. Am I missing something obvious? In any case, it's clear that snippets can revolutionize coding :) Wish I had more time to explore... embedding shell commands could be fantastic... Paul

[TextMate] Problem changing keyboard shortcuts with System Preferences

by Chris Brierley

As the help file suggests, I've tried changing some keyboard shortcuts with System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts. I'm trying to change the following items in the Text menu: Reformat Paragraph Reformat & Justify Unwrap Paragraph I can get Reformat & Justify to work but not Reformat Paragraph and Unwrap Paragraph. I suspect it's because both of those items change their name depending on wether text is selected. I.e., when text is selected they become Reformat Selection and Unwrap Selection. I've tried setting the same shortcut for both, e.g., Reformat Paragraph and Reformat Selection to try to cover both menu states, but it doesn't work and the System Preferences warns me of an error because of the duplicate shortcut key. Does anyone know how/if I can make that work? Or am I just out of luck because of the way the item changes names? Incidentally, I've worked around it by creating a local KeyBindings.dict, I'd just prefer to do it with the System Preferences so I don't have to always keep my KeyBindings.dict up-to-date between version changes. Thanks much for any ideas!

Shortcut list

by Jeroen

Hi, I've noticed from previous mailings in this mailinglist that there are loads of keyboard shortcuts available in TextMate. Is there a list available somewhere which lists all of the default ones ? And I also saw that there are lots of default OS X keyboard shortcuts I didn't know about, does anyone know of a list of those? Jeroen.

Edit in TextMate service

by Allan Odgaard

I created a service that adds “Edit in TextMate” to the Services sub menu. The key equivalent is command-escape (but there's an OS bug which requires the menu to have been open at least once before the key equivalent works). It opens a TextMate window with the selected text, when you save and then close the TextMate window, the modified text will be sent back to the application. There's currently a 3 hours timeout (the application will have the busy wheel until you close the TextMate window). Place the service in ~/Library/Services -- you need to log out/in for the services menu to be rebuilt. If you launch the service manually, the service should be available for new programs or programs which hadn't already had the services menu built (but restart if it doesn't work). If you use the service from within TextMate, it may hang (until you manually break the service) -- I'll add a workaround for this. It currently can only handle one edit task at a time, and it requires at least version 1.0.2b3 of TextMate. The reason that it's an external service and not built into TextMate has to do with the way services work -- I may be able to find a combined solution later. It uses a temporary file for exchanging the text, this is always named “Data from <application>.txt” and placed in “/tmp/<uid>/TemporaryItems” -- it doesn't remove the file afterwards and it doesn't ensure that the file didn't already exist.

project over FTP

by M Spreij

Unless I missed something (which, today, wouldn't surprise me in the least..) it's not possible to create a project from a remote folder over (S)FTP, is that correct? From what I understand of FTP and ODB this won't be easy to implement? Has anyone found a way to mount FTP folders as regular folders in the finder (with read/write, not Apple's readonly way)? A workaround I got was to open the files seperately, then dragging the window's icons to a new project window (or if you open its parent folder from the titlebar you can drag all the opened files to TM), selecting the files in the project window once so they get a tab, and then you can close the original windows - edit/saves will update the version on the server. If you close the original window without 'tabbing' the file, the temporary file will be removed (and editing will not be possible). Regards, Martin

How to give .dwt files same coloring as .html files?

where are the tabs?

by Michael Stillwell

I'm clearly doing something wrong here but--how on earth do I turn tabs on?! Every time I open a new file (cmd-O) it opens in a new window! I've looked through all the menu items, searched the wiki, help *and* the mailing list and but I'm still tab-less. (I'm embarrassed to say I can't figure out how to activate the "dynamic file outline" working either--so I'm actually not able to use features number 1 and 2 on the homepage...) -- http://beebo.org +44 78 2118 9049

Syntax highlight - regexp questions

by hadley wickham

Hi, I'm having a go a writing a syntax highlighting format for markdown (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/), and I've run into a couple of problems. The first is the lack negative look behind assertions which makes matching escaped sequences (eg. * \* *) a lot more complicated. I can use begin, end and swallow, but there isn't any way to limit these to single line sequences. Are there any plans for including them in the future? The second problem, which I haven't been able to overcome, is matching multiline sequences that end with (eg.) two newlines. For example: begin = "\\*"; end = "\\n{2,}" doesn't match what I'd expect. Is this a known problem? Thanks, Hadley

minor suggestions (1.0.2b3)

by Eric Hsu

Hi Allan, A few little suggestions. 1. Find dialogue should remember 'regular expression' setting between invocations. 1a. Cool if Find dialogue remembered the last few searches and replaces. 2. Option to subtly highlight current line. 3. FYI. On occasions I can't quite duplicate, the last 'pixel' on the right is not displayed. The document gets into that state and resizing the window doesn't help. I'll try to collect more data on that. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

show matching double quotes to eager?

by M Spreij

If I have a bit of text like $var1 = "some text"; $var2 = "some more text"; cursor-keying past the second quote will briefly light up the first, but the third quote will briefly lite up the second (and the fourth the third again). Seems odd? But keying past a quote where it's matching quote is not visible, the whole *window* flashes yellow.. This happens when working with syntax coloring for HTML (ASP) and HTML (PHP) at least, probably others. Can anyone reproduce? Regards, Martin

CTRL-k behaviour

by Curtis Schofield

I'm wondering about using CTRL-K to cut a line and CTRL-y to paste a line. Typing ctrl-k seems to cut the line out, but ctrl-y has no effect. I'm used to typing these commands in a terminal and in emacs. Has anyone else experienced this?
