I suspect it was deleted out of clumsiness and not any secret standards for what should be on the front page. I think the nature of a wiki is that all the users have to evolve standards for how things should be organized and how people should edit. I personally think nothing should ever be deleted. At worst, it should be put in a separate link or 'refactored' by being summarized. I did the last reorganization because (1) most of the front page was obsolete due to Allan's including them in the distribution and (2) someone had incompetently edited the front page to nuke most of the writing people did. It's possible that in restoring the old writing I accidentally lost some post-nuking changes you made (but I did try to check). best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

ODB protocol

by Mr. Robert Ullrey

I just joined so I apologize if this is a recurring subject, but I would like to see TextMate become ODB protocol compliant. Specifically, I work with a few other programs like MarsEdit which allow editing of the text in programs like BBEdit or SubEthaEdit. I have talked with a few of the designers including Brett and for TextMate to also be included it needs to include the ODB protocol. Is this possible for a future release? Thanks Robert

[TextMate] workarounds for lack of (s)ftp/external editing support?

by Raena Armitage

All I want for Christmas is world peace, an end to hunger, and for TextMate to either support (s)ftp or be supportive of the external editor thing. As in this: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html I'd become so reliant on Transmit's ability to open a text file in BBEdit, where I could just sit 'save' and have it upload automatically, that having to do it by hand again is really getting up my nose. For the moment, can anyone recommend a way to get around this lack of support? I still have BBEdit, of course, but I'd rather be using TextMate. I'm not so good with shell scripting so I wouldn't know the first place to start where that's concerned. Can anyone help? Regards, Raena

Order of open files window tabs question ??

by Mats Persson

This is another minor/major feature request for Allan : ) The order of the open files windows tabs - in top of project window - has confused me for a while, as the open files have not followed an immediately identifiable method/structure. Having created a simple test project with files named a1,a2, b1, b2 etc etc. I have finally worked it out. Newly opened files will always be added immediately behind the currently selected tab, and not in an alphabetical order nor in a order of opened status which I had kind of assumed it would do just like Safari tabs do. Therefore, could it be possible to implement this as an options preference: 1. follow alphabetical order 2. order of open status (last opened is last in order) IF this could be fixed I would be very grateful, as working with 10+ files open means I have to look through the tab bar for where my opened files has been located. What's the general view on this ? Apologies if this has been discussed earlier without me noticing it. Kind regards, Mats

quote matching

BTW: Consider this a feature request, > if it's not already an option, and a plea for guidance otherwise. This feature is too "subtle" for me. I have great difficulty finding the matched character. I like the way S-E-E does it: a double click on a paren/brace/bracket selects the contents of the pair. This is very clear and potentially very useful if you want to relocate the text. I *reallyyyy* like putting paired characters around selected text. That has become one of my favourite features. It makes writing nested conditionals very easy. No more counting pairs. Selecting text between pairs would be a nice counterpart. Hmmm, would also be useful for single and double quotes too.... Have fun, Carl

[TextMate] htmlentitizing text

by Nis Sarup

Howdy textmaters. (that does sound kinda naughty, doesn't it?) As I live in Denmark I commonly use the special danish characters æøå, and has tried to make a command to the php htmlentities(9 command on the selected text: php -r "echo htmlentities('$TM_SELECTED_TEXT', ENT_QUOTES);" But, alas, as in the terminal æøå gets mangled into \303\246\303\270\303\245 before being entitized. <, &, ", ' and other "normal" special chars gets converted just fine. Is there a workaround for the brutal mangling of the innocent danish characters? I know there is already a "Convert to entities" command, but it converts every character, not just the special ones. And its a bit of a chore to select every instance of a special character and running a command on it. Any thoughts? Anyone? Nis "Have-a-nice-day" Sarup. -- BTW: I have 5 Gmail invites. Write me at nis.sarup(a)gmail.com if you are in desperate need of a new and fancy email.

Rectangular selections paste badly

by Drew McLellan

I just make a rectangular selection of a column about 20 lines long, and copied it to the clipboard. Pasting this further down the document failed to create the extra space needed for the code being pasted, and effectively 'merged' the pasted code with the existing code following the insertion point. Hard to explain. Will screen shot the steps if necessary. drew.

Re: [TxMt] [TextMate] Help With Ruby Command

The double quotes to form the Ruby string make this tricky. I decided to side-step the issue slightly long-windedly by using Ruby's 'date' methods. Note also that this code works on selected text: I have Standard in = selected text and Standard out = Replace selected text. The selected task then gets deleted from the original file and pasted in to the completed.txt file with a checkbox ([X]). I also put the date stamp on the same line as the text to make it easier to grep for; when someone chases me about something I've done, I can double-check when I did it ;-) I'm a Ruby-newbie too, so I'm sure more experienced coders could make it more efficient.

I don't use the full path for Ruby but it works for me. Also whereis ruby returns nothing for me, but I also have Ruby 1.8.1 in /usr/local/bin. my $PATH is: PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current: /usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH" export PATH in .bashrc, but you can also put it in .bash_profile (I 'source' .bashrc in .bash_profile). I found that if I put the default $PATH first, the shell would find the Panther version of Ruby (in /usr/bin) first before my 1.8.1 version in /usr/local/bin, but YMMV. I think this must be a path issue. Does the command work if you specify the full path instead of just ruby? Jackie -- Jackie Chappell jmchappell(a)mac.com

[TextMate] cool tip & bug

by Eric Hsu

1. I think the program rocks. 2. I was writing some HTML and I had the need to have a command that jumped to the *inside* of the next tag. I couldn't figure out how to do this in TM (or any other editor), playing with snippets and Perl shell command ideas until I realized I could record a macro that did: find <(.*?)> as regular expression hit left arrow (to go to start of found selection), hit right arrow (to skip over the <) find [^>]* to select all characters up to the >. It works just great. 3. In some corner of my head I feel like snippets, macros and commands should really all be one type of automation entity. I'm not sure how to do that, but it's a little confusing to have so much power distributed across three different kinds of triggers... 4. Actual interface bug (in my opinion). If you start a selection, say in the middle of the screen, and drag up past the window top, TM should select everything up through the first character of the document. Instead, it only selects up to the first line stopping at the original column. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

LaTeX does really nice PDF and with tex4ht I think the HTML result is also reasonable good. Another option is DocBook, though the PDF is not very nice when using the freeware converters available. Basically you just want to settle on some generic markup language that allows you to convert it to whatever format you desire. Which markup language is best suited probably depends mostly of what type of documentation you're writing, i.e. is it heavily interlinked, using all sorts of "typegraphic" features, footnotes, images etc. Kind regards Allan -- http://macromates.com/ ::: TextMate, OS X text editor http://macromates.com/sigpipe/ ::: Personal weblog about programming

Syntax Highlighting regex question

by Jaime Vargas

I am making a syntax module for the Rebol language and I am having trouble getting some keywords to match properly. This expression works: match = "(action!|any-block!|any-function!|)" but it is not ideal for I needed it to work with word boundaries. When I include word boundaries in the regex, the rule is never matched. match = "\\<(action!|any-block!|any-function!|)\\>" I think this is a problem with the exclamation point "!". I have tried using it with these escape sequences: \!, \\!, \041 \\041; with no luck so far. I had the same problem with keywords having the question mark "?" in them, ie: match = "\\<(about|abs|absolute|action?|add|alert|type?)\\>" Ideas would be most welcome. Is there a limitation in the regex engine? Thanks, Jaime

Smart typing in comments

by Drew McLellan

It would be useful if smart typing wasn't active when writing code comments. The reason being you're more likely to be writing natural language sentences than code. for example: <?php // Don't forget the elephants! $elephants = true; ?> with smart typing comes out like this: <?php // Don't forget the elephants!' $elephants = true; ?> What do other's think? drew.
