by M Spreij

This is an issue I just discovered, and I was wondering if it could get fixed: TextMate doesn't make coffee yet (black is fine, no sugar or milk needed). Also, I told it to wake me on time for the news, and it was 8 minutes late. Allan? Regards, Martin

Re: [TxMt] CTRL-k behaviour

What I do it select the text I want to enclose and then press the '(' or '{' and it's done. It's kinda scary the first time, 'cause you'd expect the selected text to be replaced by the character you typed. But the second time will bring a smile to your face. eg. type 'if' hold the shift key down, press the arrow key to move the cursor to where you want it, press the '(' and so on... Carl

Preview & Reload in Safari, Firefox & IE Commands

by Mats Persson

Hi All, Just wanted every web developer to know about these scripts/commands that I have just created and available here: [ http://wiki.macromates.com/textmate/show/Howtos ] 1. Preview in Browser: Safari, Firefox and IE5 These commands will take the current file and then load it in a new browser window. Works with both local files [ file://path/to/file.html ] and web server based files [ http://www.somesite.com/file.html ] as long as you create a new project Shell Variable called TM_PROJ_SITEURL with the full URL. Please note. Still some issues with Safari not being able to open a new window on its own to sort out. 2. Reload Browser: Safari, Firefox, IE5 and All 3 browsers. These commands will do a reload of the current page in each browser separately or all at the same time. Hope they are useful to you all. Kind regards, Mats

You've helped me before on the Flash mailing list (many years ago now), so I thought I should help you as far as I can tonight (it's 9.30pm here) The problems you are having is to do with the AppleScript syntax and limited AS support in Firefox. The following Applescript works in Script Editor and just needs to be converted into TM working code. Don't have time to do so tonight : ( set theActiveURL to "http://www.macromedia.com/" tell application "Firefox" activate OpenURL theActiveURL end tell You would use $TM_FILE_PATH to get the path to the file and load it as a local non-parsed file. IF you are previewing a file through a web server, then I guess you need to add a Project Shell Variable (info btn in project drawer when no file is selected) with the URL prefix and then use a bit of fancy footwork to add the variables together into a full URL. I'll think about it over the weekend, but can't promise a solution, but I'm sure you - and many others - will have worked it out before then. : ) Hope that helped you a bit on the way. Kind regards, Mats

Am I missing this...Duplicating a File?

I was wondering if you can in someway highlight a file in the project drawer and duplicate it? I do not see a way to do it... Thanks, Eric C

Back and forward for switching files?

by Wayne Larsen

The tab metaphor for opened files works fairly well, especially if you make the effort to open related files next to each other. The tabs should shrink smaller imo, but that's a separate issue. The question I have is -- if you are working on two files that are far apart in the tab bar, is there any shortcut for switching between them? My thought is that the program could maintain a history list of viewed files, and then a key binding could be assigned to navigate back and forward over that history list. Could this be added? (Or does this capability exist somehow?) Cheers, Wayne

Feature request: sort project drawer

by Andrew Savory

Hi, When I've got many files open in the project drawer, it's difficult to track down the one I want. It would be great if there was an option to sort the files alphabetically. Cheers, Andrew. -- All views are my own - who else would want them? http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/

wrapping tabs?

by Justin Henry

Hello, Is there a way to adjust the height of the tab bar and force the tabs to "wrap" (similar to how UltraEdit does it), rather than having to click on the double arrows and select from the dropdown on the right when the tabs spill over? If not, is this something that could go into a future release? Thanks, -Justin

'undoing' for days [gripe]

by kumar mcmillan

Sorry to gripe, but pressing undo after writing a line of code is like trying to walk up a downward moving escalator. I know it's been said before but here is another plea to the steadfast, cooperative developers: at least consider an option to let undo step back word by word instead of character by character (what would be the nicest is to step back in logical "chunks" the same way bbedit does). thanks, Kumar

New Folding Icons (and Bookmark Icon)

by Simon Dorfman

Hello everyone. I tweaked the folding icons again. Still using the Stoplight color metaphor, but made them a little less saturated and a little smoother around the edges. I made the Bookmark Icon blue too. Attached is a screenshot and the required PNGs. To install: 1. control-click on TextMate in the Finder and select "Show Package Contents" 2. double-click on "Contents" in the window that opens 3. double-click on "Resources" 4. copy my replacement pngs to this Resources folder. Accept the dialog to replace the existing pngs. Feel free to add this to the wiki. Simon

'select line' not seeing wrap

by M Spreij

Cmd-Shift-L for select line only selects the physical line, not the logical; if the line was wrapped it will not select the second part. This also causes the default Duplicate Line macro to not work correctly on wrapped lines I think. Is this easily fixable? Regards, Martin PS. just ritually sacrificed BBEdit, now that TextMate supports the ODB Editor Suite.

Text selection

by James Andrews

Hi Allan, When I double-click on a PHP variable name it selects the whole word (without the preceding $) as expected. Because I want to select the whole thing I automatically do a Shift-Left Arrow to add the $ but something strange happens and I get about half the word selected without the $. Any chance of fixing this? My expected behaviour is whichever arrow key (left or right) you first start using after selecting the text should allow you to expand or contract the selection at the appropriate end. Also a suggestion (which BBEdit supports) is that a second shift double click on a different word should select everything between and including the two words. Thanks for your time, James

Refuses to open SVG documents in project?

by Robin Berjon

Hi, I am trying to edit some SVG documents. When I open them one at a time they work fine. When I try to open them in a project (to get tabs even though I don't want the drawer and stuff :) it doesn't work. They don't display, and if I click or double-click them in the drawer they try to open in the browser instead of in the editor. Is there a list of known bugs to not dupe reports? I couldn't find one, but then I'm rather tired today. Thanks, -- Robin Berjon

Tab Always Indent and indent-region

by Travis P

Two marvelously useful features that I use heavily for programming all kinds of language in Emacs and XEmacs are: - Tab Always Indent: when this option is on, hitting the TAB key always just indents the current line - indent-region: re-indent the selection I see you already have editing over sftp in your todo for 1.1. TextMate looks like a good start and might find a nice niche. It's a bit rough around the edges at the moment. And I find it hard to work without the two indent features I mention above. Maybe I should add them to the Feature requests page? -Travis

Tabs without a project?

by Robin Berjon

Hi, one feature I would really love to have would be the ability to have tabs without needing a project (if there is I really couldn't find it). I really like tabs but I only occasionally work using projects. Having the option to say "any files I open are opened as a tab in the current window" would positively rock. Also, having a way of telling TM that you want all your windows full screen at 0,0 would be really nice and far more usable than what the default OSX behaviour provides. -- Robin Berjon

Mailing list rules

by Allan Odgaard

There is really only one rule (apart from normal netiquette) I want you to uphold: When you write a _new_ letter to this mailing list, _don't_ use “reply” on an existing letter (to get the To: filled in). It screws up threading!!! If you're using Mail.app, you can control-click the “To” of an existing letter and select “New Message” to get a compose window with the “To” header filled in. Threading is a very useful feature, and especially for me with this mailing list, since it's basically an archive of user feedback, and I'd like for the table-of-contents to show _every_ thread, which it currently doesn't, when one thread contain 2-3 _different_ subjects, because people have used reply (then it only show the first subject). So PLEASE remember _not_ to use reply (for new letters)!!!

[TextMate] Cmd-Shift-Arrow for Tab switching

Selecting column with keyboard and navigating project questions

by Johan Sörensen

Hi, Is it possible to do a "columnar selection" with the keyboard only? Hold Alt while moving the cursor would be the logical shortcut for such a thing I think (it doesn't seem to be used for other things?). I don't use the tabs (ie. they're hidden) whenever I have a project open (in the project drawer), is it possible to navigate up/down in the projectdrawer with the keyboard? -- johan

Selecting whole "words"

by Chris Jenkins

Does anyone know if there is any way to manually define what TM considers to be a "word" when double-clicking to select? At the moment a dollar sign does not seem to be part of what TM thinks is a word, and I use these to prefix variable names. I seem to remember that within S-E-E there is some way of defining which characters are legit for variable names or something, is such a thing planned for TM?

Bold folder names in the drawer

by Dominique PERETTI

I really liked when folder names were bold in one of the past betas. Do other people share my point of view ? Setting this with a preference, should this require to go to the terminal and type some "defaults..." thing, would be great. Dominique PERETTI http://www.lachoseinteractive.net

Making sub-shells login shells causes problems in the current beta

by Chris Brierley

Allan, I know you made the change to call bash sub-shells with '--login' in response to people's problems getting their PATHs set straight, but I'd like to make an argument towards putting it back the way it was. Philosophically, it's just not how things are supposed to work with bash. The reason .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, .bashrc is only called on an interactive non-login shell, and BASH_ENV is consulted for non-interactive shells is so that you can separate initialization code for these very different conditions. Practically, since, by default, .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, people use it to put initialization code that should only be run when they log in ... knowing that that's the only time it will run. For example, people output stuff to the screen, they mess with their stty settings to get their keyboard working correctly, etc. People don't typically protect any of that stuff in if statements so that it only runs if there is a tty because ... there should always be one in a login shell. By changing TextMate to use a login shell, it now executes all that cruft in the subshell. Every time I run a command it now inserts into the TextMate buffer all this extra stuff from my .bash_profile that I've sent to the screen, and errors from my trying to run stty without a tty. To combat that, I'm going to have to go through my .bash_profile and surround any of that kind of code with if statements that test if there is a tty or not. So, in trying to make things easier for people (not having to set BASH_ENV in their enviroment) I think this is going to wind up making it harder for people (having to escape code with if statements all through their .bash_profile). I would bet that you'll start to see a lot of problems come in related to this. What are your thoughts? Any chance I can convince you to change your mind on this? Thanks much.

a wiki place for snippets bundles?

by kumar mcmillan

this is a separate note but related to Dominique's message on orphaned wiki pages ... I have twice posted a link to a bundle containing snippets for creating PHP Documentor tags in PHP scripts ... but both times the link has been wiped out. Now the wiki seems to have been reorganized so I am hesitant to repost. Should we have a new page for snippet-related bundles? I'm not sure if maybe people are wiping out my entry because it is not a syntax highlighter bundle. The link is still available here btw : http://farmdev.com/downloads/PHPDoc.tar.gz kumar

two "BBEdit requests"

by Paul Nordstrom August

Two things I miss from BB: a) Opening/saving directly by FTP/SFTP (not going through Transmit, Interarchy, etc) b) "show invisibles"!!! I know this has been asked for already... I just wasted 10 mins on a file where 2 spaces were emulating a tab; partly my fault (confused about Tab Emulation) but show invisibles would be great... Otherwise I'm loving it. The recent HTML-PHP syntax coloring seems better, or is that my imagination :) I found myself running MySQL queries directly in TM... cool! Just think of the possibilities with a macro :) Paul
