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

Re: Heuristic for smart typing pairs

by Chris Jenkins

Allan, I will do that, Ive asked her this morning, she's working on some other stuff at the moment but I'll let you know as soon as possible. For myself its a huge improvement, definitely works for me, I had made a few commands that would wrap the current selection with quotes etc, but this is much better, TextMate seems more and more to able to read my mind! Nice one.

[TextMate] smart typing in 1.0.2b1

by Eric Hsu

It's great to see such weekly improvement of this product! Smart typing is almost incredibly cool. I like the 'no doubling if there's text in front' and the 'surround selection with braces' is awesome... I was about to try to write a macro or command to simulate this. Issue 1. Documents with syntax highlighting disabled don't have smart typing turned on, regardless of setting. I assume this is a little bug and not intended behavior. Issue 2. If I'm typing in the middle of the ()'s, I still have to right-arrow over the last ) to get to the rest of the typing. Am I supposed to be able to Tab out of the braces somehow? Otherwise, it's not really saving me a keystroke since -> and ) are about equally hard for me to hit. Alpha under OS9 had an interesting implementation of this, where they used bullets like • to mark tab stops; then when you hit Tab, you knew you were jumping to the next bullet... - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Activate internet protocols by command-click

by jose.campos+tm＠galacsys.com

Hi All, In some (many?) applications, one can activate internet protocols by command-clicking on a portion of text that looks like an internet address. For instance in MacSOUP, a command-click on : www.macromates.com will launch <http://www.macromates.com/> in my prefered browser. Other text editor can do so. Is that feature system-dependant? Could it be easily implemented in TM? Have a nice day, -- Jo <W:00°04'37" ; N:47°15'36"> 1....'....12.....'....24.....'....36.....'....48.....'....60.....'....72

[TextMate] Beta 2 - Custom Bundles no longer Load

I just installed the latest beta, and now all the Syntax highlighting options I had set for PHP are gone (I can't stand the white background, and prefer the darker ones). Anyway, the bundle is still in my home directory (~Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles), but does not show up in Syntax Highlight As...I removed it from that directory, and reinstalled it, but no luck...Any ideas????

[TextMate] Printing options?

by Allan Odgaard

So after a few days of (hopefully) well deserved vacation, I'm back to TM development, and I'm currently adding support for printing. But printing plain text from a plain text editor is really alien to me ;) so I was curious, what options do people expect to see? I.e. should it always be soft wrapped? Should the font be changeable in the printing dialog, or just use the document font? Should it have the option to print with/without line numbers? Another tab-size? How about syntax-highlight, should that be turned into b/w (there's a quartz filter to turn it into grey-scale by default)? etc. etc. If you do use/desire printing, let me know which “options” you use (let's try not to mention all the things printing _could_ have) and what stuff you actually do print (as plain text), especially the latter will help me better understand the target audience for this feature! Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Heuristic for smart typing pairs

by Chris Jenkins

Ive been watching a few colleagues of mine using TextMate and one of them has switched off the smart typing as she finds it doesn't really help her, the reason is to do with the way she works, which admittedly is slightly inefficient, but I myself have fallen foul of this as well, here's what she does: She types a word and then decides it needs to be a string, so she steps the caret back to the start of the word and types a quote, but 2 quotes get added so she then has to delete one of them, then she moves to the end of the word and types the closing quote, and the same thing happens. So she switches the feature off as its "annoying". Now she could make a command to wrap a selection in quotes (as I have done), but it would be nicer if it could be smarter about when to insert the pair. Perhaps the pair of characters only get added if they are surrounded by white space, or if some customisable regex is matched?

[TextMate] Re: Printing options?

>> Insert header in every page of the document with file path, date >> last saved, insert page footer with page number and total number of >> page of the document etc... > > And if this header was customisable with TM_* variables (and some new > vars), etc etc, that would be great. I second this idea, and I also think that print options should be relatively simple: use the document font and tabs, and allow a choice of printing with syntax highlighting on or off (or just use the greyscale Quartz filter). There should also be an option to print to PDF, as in the standard MacOS X Print dialog. Would it also be possible to print from the web preview? I often write short notes for others in Markdown, so that I can send them a marginally more pretty version to them as hard copy or PDF, but keep a simple text file for myself. It would be nice to be able to print it from the rendered web preview, without having to render it as a separate HTML file, open that in a browser and print from there.

[TextMate] multiple folding structures for latex

by profprof＠mac.com

Hello, I am trying to improve the syntaxe for the Latex bundle. However, I am not familiar with plist. In addition to structures of the type \begin{..} \end{...} I would like to add a folding of the \section, \chapter, \subsection structure. For this, I thought of adding in a snipped a line at the end of these structures which would be considered as a comment by Latex: \section{This is a section} %\end-section{This is a section} \section{A new section} .... I have tried to modified the current Latex.plist to : <key>foldingStartMarker</key> <string>(\\begin\{.*\}|\\(((sub)*section)|(chapter)|(paragraph)|(part))(\*?)\{.*\})</string> <key>foldingStopMarker</key> <string>(\\end\{.*\}|%\\end-(((sub)*section)|(chapter)|(paragraph)|(part))(\*?)\{.*\})</string> However, this does not work very well as if there is any substructure in a \section of the type (\end{equation}, for example), the folding occurs from \section to \end{equation}. Anybody could tell me how to correct that?? I thank you in advance! Normand Mousseau

I _could_ make the file extensions regular expressions, but I would prefer a user workaround, since the rest of OS X does use fixed text extensions more or less exclusively (if we ignore the legacy stuff with four characters creator/type codes).

[TextMate] Treat files with... where is info stored?

by jose.campos+tm＠galacsys.com

Hi All, In the project drawer, a right-click on a file icon opens a dialog where one can find : Treat Files with ".xxx" Extension as Text Where does TM store this infos afterwards? Did not find anything in "Application Support" nor in "Preferences" The point is to have TM consider files with a variable extension as text, like the ones I have to deal with : the extension is a 8-digit number representing the date the document was edited (*.20041023 for instance) Thanks, -- Jo <W:00°04'37" ; N:47°15'36"> 1....'....12.....'....24.....'....36.....'....48.....'....60.....'....72

[TextMate] Web Preview Enhancements

by James Adam

Hello all. I'm not sure why people have seized upon this font-size issue. It is, as a few people have already noted, a minor point, and anyone who really cares can change it just like I did. What is *really* important are the other, functional behaviour changes I suggested: 1. Store the Base URL in the project file. Why must I retype this every time the Preview disappears, speaking of which: 2. Keep the preview open until *I* close it, don't make it disappear. If a user opened it, chances are they're doing web design, and they'll want to use it again. This shouldn't be hard, right? 3. Change the preview to display the contents of the current tab *if that tab is HTML*. Quick Hint: if you are syntax-highlighting something as HTML, you should sensibly be able to preview it. Likewise for PHP. This is a bit trickier, yes. 4. Have an option to update the view if *any* project file changes. This is probably on a par in implementational difficulty with the previous suggestion. --- Justin says: > Firefox and Safari and pretty much every other browser ship with 16px > -- I'm 99% certain of this. Eventually a preference is planned for > you > to pick your own I think. When the first betas shipped, it was set to > 12, but people complained about it not being like Safari and Firefox, > so whatyagonnado? Set it to the same value as Safari and Firefox - surely the majority of the mac browser share. Why would you ever set it differently? Why 12pts? ... > Can't please everyone until there's a font size preview -- and even if > TM were to preview things EXACTLY the way YOU prefer (14px), it's only > previewing your Safari/Firefox set-up, not previewing my set-up, or > some guy down the road surfing the web on his XBox. ... if the font value was the same as the default for other browsers, you'd please *most* people. If that's 16pts, not 14pts, fine - i was just guessing as I hacked around. I could be wrong, and in this case, my eyes were a few pts out :) My point is, why is TextMate deliberately different from what seems to be the standard here? > It's a quick and handy HTML preview, not a full-on browser... and isn't > that good enough? For a preview to be useful, it needs to be somewhat accurate, especially if you are using it for CSS design. I don't ask for a full on browser (presumably by that you mean history, bookmarks?), just a quick pane that displays reasonably accurately what the page I'm hacking up will look like in most browsers. Timothy says: > I have to side with Justin here. You > should leave the Browser default text size alone especially when > testing design & accessibility. I'm not suggesting that I'd want to change it as part of my design process. Just that it be set to a better default value. I'll repeat - I don't understand why the OakWebPreview sets it's default to 12pts if the two most popular browsers are different. I'd love to hear a justification. A preference to change it at some point would be great, but clearly isn't high-priority, nor do I feel it should be. Just set the default sensibly - doesn't that better fit the TextMate philosophy of "no preferences"? Someone wondered if anyone codes static HTML pages any more. Surely the answer is YES! Pretty much everyone does. Most design takes place using placeholder content - a static page - which is the broken up and fed to the appropriate dynamic parts of Rails, Smarty or whatever. If there are people designing html using only fragments and relying on dynamic systems to put them all together without even once just checking that the html jigsaw pieces they are carving fit together nicely, well kudos to you :) I must be old school, but I design the whole page first (with forethought, of course), and then separate the components into different files/functions. Kumar said: > I would also vote to not put too much development > into WebPreview since Safari is only a command-tab + command-R away.... > unless there was a feature like SubEthaEdit that did WebPreview in > realtime as you type. The Web Preview *does* auto-update, like SubEthaEdit, unless I am imagining things, and that is what makes it most useful. Why hit the keyboard at all if you don't have to. --- I've suggested some simple aesthetic changes, and some simple behavioural changes that AFAIK won't take more than a few hours consideration, but will surely improve the usefulness of the Web Preview feature for those of us that do feel it is handy. The font-size note is tiny compared to these other 'ideas'. Does anyone else think Web Preview is useful? If you don't use it... you've not lost anything. If you do, you've gained a lot. I hope I've made my case more effectively here, thanks for reading guys. - James

[TextMate] Thoughts on doubleclick selection

by John Blitch

Hello! I have to get this out of my system: this is possibly my favorite new mac app. Amazing work! Anyway, these are my thoughts about how TextMate should respond to double-clicks on text, based on my preferences and the way other mac applications like BBedit or TextEdit perform. When I double click on whitespace, I like for the selection to stop at the beginning/end of the line, or the nearest adjacent non-whitespace character, whichcever comes first: [ ]word word Textmate selects the white space until the beginning/end of the line, or the nearest adjacent word, whichever comes first: [ word] word When I double click on a word, and then shift click to the right or left of the selected word, I like the selection to expand to include the word or whitespace I shift-clicked on: [word] --> [ word] Textmate, interestingly, does this when I click to the right of a selected word, but when I click to the left of one, the selection is changed to the characters between where I clicked and the beginning of the old selection: word [word] --> [word ]word I'd say it's praise that this is my biggest gripe after switching to TextMate a little less than 24 hours ago. Yeay textmate! John

[TextMate] Web Preview Enhancements

by James Adam

(copied from http://interblah.net/2004/10/22/textmate-web-preview/ ) I have posted some feedback about the Web Preview to the [wiki](http://wiki.macromates.com), along with a [screenshot](http://www.lazyatom.com/media/images/textmate-web- preview.jpg). I'm happy to provide my revised .nib file too. In summary, and in order of perceived importance, the changes are: * changed the base font size of the OakWebPreview to 14 - this way it matches at least my setup for Safari and Firefox, and I'm not aware of every having changed the defaults in those apps. Either way, ENSURE that the font sizes are similar, otherwise the preview is pretty much useless. * move, resize, relabel and re-anchor the "Back", "Forward", and "Reload" buttons. The top row of controls is now Back, Forward, URL, Reload. This more closely-matches real browsers. The Reload could be placed to the left of the URL, the important point is that these controls go on top * Remove the window texture - it's unnecessary, and unattractive. This isn't a rant against metal, I like metal, it's just *better* as aqua here. * Resize the "Show Options" checkbox to "small", and place it flush against the bottom of the view. Then Increase the vertical size of the OakWebPreview accordingly. ### Feature Requests 1. Have the web preview always shown, if it has been opened. It should then display whatever is in the selected tab, if the file meets some "web previewable" criteria. If the current tab is showing an html file, or a php file, or a .asp file, change the web preview to it, otherwise, leave it displaying the last file that did match. This will enable a lot of very useful editing, like changing the CSS and having the preview update automagically, as outlined next. 2. Have another option which updates the preview, after whatever delay, if ANY file in the project is changed. This way, I can: * edit an html, open the web preview * check the NEW "update if any file is modified" option on the web preview (a project-persistent option) * switch to the CSS (or JS, whatever) in the project. Note that since CSS/JS aren't "previewable", the web preview window still shows the html file * as changes are made to the file, the web preview is told to update, with whatever delay * now, the consequences of any changes I make to external files are updated automatically in the preview This feature would REALLY kick ass. You know it. 3. Keep the "Base URL" persistent within a single project. Store the base url within that project! This doesn't require a preference, just each time it's manually updated, change the entry in the .tmproj file None of these features/fixes are very hard, nor can I think of any way that they negatively impair the current workings of TextMate - what are the chances of seeing any of them in 1.0.2?

[TextMate] PHPDoc bundle released

by kumar mcmillan

This is a very simple set of snippets to automate your PHP Documentor tags [http://www.phpdoc.org/] while writing PHP classes using TextMate. download: http://farmdev.com/downloads/PHPDoc.tar.gz Here are the commands: phpdoc_c : creates a PHPDoc class block phpdoc_d : creates a PHPDoc definition block (constant definition) phpdoc_f : creates a PHPDoc function block phpdoc_h : creates a PHPDoc header for the top of your script phpdoc_v : creates a PHPDoc class variable ** There is a very nice feature in TextMate that allows you to reference a cursor position in a snippet by simply repeating the numeric variable. What I like to do when writing functions is always comment the end of the function with its name so you know what the last trailing bracket is closing. This is fully automated for class and function blocks. As an example: function do_something($input) { // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... } // END function do_something($input) I must also say that with TextMate 1.0.1 I am sold! Many thanks to the dev team and hopefully my license will help keep things moving. And feel free to include this in the default package if you see fit. --- Here is a complete example of how a script would look using these snippets : <?php /** * Description of document * * @author Author Name * @version $Id$ * @copyright Author Name, 22 October, 2004 * @package default **/ /** * Define DocBlock **/ /** * undocumented class * * @package default * @author author **/ class Some_Class { /** * undocumented class variable * * @access public * @var string **/ var $some_var; /** * undocumented function * * @access public * @return void * @param string $input * @author author **/ function do_something_cool($input) { } // END function do_something_cool($input) } // END class Some_Class ?>
