I'm trying to create a language bundle where it will not be possible to identify all the scopes correctly using regular expressions. Is there a way to generate the scope dynamically somehow? I see there is a TextMate Ctags bundle (https://github.com/textmate/ctags.tmbundle). Does TextMate use CTags to locate and syntax color both functions and variables? Where does the file go and what name does it need to have? Thanks, John DeSoi, Ph.D.

Quick command help

by George McGinley Smith

Hey there, I'm trying to figure out how to get back to a command's HTML window after the command has finished. What I currently have works fine: #!/usr/bin/env ruby18 require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/tm/executor" ENV['EDITOR'] = 'mate --wait' TextMate::Executor.run("eyaml", "edit", "#{ENV['TM_FILEPATH']}") I have Output set to show in a new HTML window and I do get the output there. I'm just wondering if there's a way to get TM to automatically return to the HTML window after I've closed the modified eyaml (so I don't miss any error output for example). Thanks, George

Find dialog bug

by Rob McBroom

I’ve been seeing things where a search gives what I know are incorrect results, or worse, I’ll go for days thinking I’ve identified all the references to some string in a project then find out I missed a few. I think I’ve somewhat figured out how to reproduce it. Selecting a folder in the File Browser and hitting ⇧⌘F mostly works as expected, but if the Find dialog is already open, the “In:” field doesn’t update. If you perform the search anyway, it seems to sometimes search the original location (still displayed) and sometimes search what you had selected in the File Browser, even though that isn’t displayed. I swear it searches the entire project sometimes as well, but I could be wrong about that. In any case, something isn’t quite right. Thanks. -- Rob McBroom

Auto Reload updated text file?

by charlie.siegel＠fastmail.fm

Hello, I am using TextMate along with nvALT. I will open a file in Textmate from nvALT with the edit with functionality. If I accidentally modify the file in nvALT while it's open in TextMate, TextMate doesn't reload the file. BBEdit does do this though. I really don't like BBEdit that much, so I don't want to use that. Is there an option somewhere to enable this functionality? If not, is it possible to submit a feature request to enable the functionality? Thanks

My VIM experience

by Martin Hess

I've been using TextMate for years and I'm productive and happy with it. However, I like to try other editors from time to time to see if I'm missing anything. Recently I spent some time learning Vim and I discovered a few things that I particularly liked. 1) Split windows -- not the kind of split windows you normally get in Mac applications, but the Vim style ones. In Vim you can easily navigate from the keyboard to your different splits and choose what files to display in each. Additionally, you don't have to reach for your mouse to create a split. When you split, Vim divides the space up for you which is what you want most of the time. I found that it is very handy when needing to view more than 1 file at a time, which in my case is most of the time. Closing splits is about as easy as they are to create -- all from the keyboard. Multiple windows isn't really the same thing because they are slow to setup and tear down. 2) Selective multifile grep -- in Vim you can use a regular expression to open a set of files, and then just grep across the open files. 3) Don't need arrow keys -- after years of editing with the mouse; I find it painful to reach for it. It hurts my right shoulder and shoulder blade. It even hurts to have to move my hand down to the arrow keys. However, in Vim it is easy to keep your hands resting on your keyboard with your shoulders relaxed. No reaching for the mouse or arrow keys.

Auto-highlight all occurrences of selected word

by Kelvin Wu

TextMate 1 or 2, is there a way to auto-highlight all occurrences of selected word? I was from Windows using EditPlus, when I double-click or Ctrl+W to select a word, EditPlus is able to automatically highlight all occurrences in a different background colour, very nice and useful feature. With TextMate I have to additionally hit Opt+Cmd+F, and highlighting colour is same as selected word, not eye-catching. I use 'soft' and light background for selection background but I prefer bright background (eg yellow) for highlighted words. Ctr-S not really meets what I need. Thanks. -- Sent from my mobile. Ignore the typos unless they're funny.

Fuzzy search for TextMate::UI.complete

by Feek

Hi all, I've written a custom action in order to compete my PHP functions. By default only functions inside a file are completed, but my action can complete all functions inside a project folder! I use theRuby TextMate::UI.complete to show the completion list. Is there a way to have a fuzzy search? Now you have to type the all letters of a function. This is annoying when al lot of functions have the same (long) prefix. Example function names: prefix_more_name_1 prefix_more_name_2 prefix_more_name_3 It should be nice when you type pr3 you get prefix_more_name_3. No you have to type "prefix_more_name" completely... == feek

TextMate 1.5 ⟷ macOS compatibility

by FZiegler

What is the newest macOS version that will run (or “support") TextMate 1.5[.11 (1635)]? (Reason to ask: I never bothered to update my customized LaTeX bundle to TextMate 2, shame on me!)

TM2 on 10.11.6?

by list_email＠icloud.com

Is there a version of TM2 that runs on macOS 10.11.6? I have an older computer and that is the newest OS supported by Apple. I don’t yet feel like buying a new computer just run a particular program. Jerry [OT minirant] My late 2008 MacBook Pro has the following features missing on recent models: * Keys that move when you strike them. * Keys that never, ever, jam or stick or fail to record a strike. * Replaceable RAM. I have doubled my RAM twice. It’s super easy. * Replaceable battery. I have replaced it twice. It’s super easy. * Replaceable hard drive. I replaced the original with a SSD. It’s super easy. * An ExpressCard 32 slot by which I do nightly backups to cycled micro SD cards. * Wired ethernet; WiFi is considerably slower, as my ISP explained in a lengthy note. * Audio in. I use it nearly daily. * MagSafe power connector. * Theft prevention attachment slot. * DVD drive. (OK, I’ll grant that one might be obsolete but I still rip CDs.)

Theme preference for file type

by John DeSoi

Is there a way to have a file type automatically use a different theme that is not the default one? If I create a language bundle and include a theme, is there a setting to make the language files default to the theme included with the bundle? Thanks, John DeSoi, Ph.D.

Compiling latest git version of TextMate using brew

by Greg Dunn

Hi, Because I can't keep my hands off utilities and am on a constant quest to understand development processes, I attempted to clone the latest git repository and build TextMate. It seems that everything goes well until I reach the part where I build the actual executable, and get the following errors: [1/1] Generate ‘build.ninja’… [159/923] Compile xib ‘Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/CustomizeEncodings.xib’… FAILED: /Users/Greg/build/TextMate/Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/CustomizeEncodings.nib xcrun ibtool --errors --warnings --notices --output-format human-readable-text --minimum-deployment-target 10.12 --compile /Users/Greg/build/TextMate/Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/CustomizeEncodings.nib Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/CustomizeEncodings.xib xcrun: error: unable to find utility "ibtool", not a developer tool or in PATH [161/923] Compile xib ‘'Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/Pasteboard Selector.xib'’… FAILED: /Users/Greg/build/TextMate/Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/Pasteboard Selector.nib xcrun ibtool --errors --warnings --notices --output-format human-readable-text --minimum-deployment-target 10.12 --compile '/Users/Greg/build/TextMate/Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/Pasteboard Selector.nib' 'Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/English.lproj/Pasteboard Selector.xib' xcrun: error: unable to find utility "ibtool", not a developer tool or in PATH [162/923] Compile xcassets ‘Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/OakAppKit.xcassets’… FAILED: /Users/Greg/build/TextMate/Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/Assets.car xcrun actool --errors --warnings --notices --output-format human-readable-text --platform macosx --minimum-deployment-target 10.12 --compile "$(dirname /Users/Greg/build/TextMate/Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/Assets.car)" Frameworks/OakAppKit/resources/OakAppKit.xcassets xcrun: error: unable to find utility "actool", not a developer tool or in PATH ibtool and actool exist in /usr/bin and also a link to /usr/local/bin, both of which are in my shell path.

Difference with indentation rules between TM1.5 and TM2.0

by Simon Lucas

I am using AS3 Bundle. There is a difference between how the indentation rules work with TM1.5 and TM2.0. In TM2.0 a new indent is applied each time I type a carriage return - where there was no ending ‘;' In TM1.5 is lined up with the previous line - even where there was no ending ‘;’ The new behaviour (TM2) is quite annoying and really slows down my work, as I do not use the optional ‘;’ in as3. I have checked the AS3 bundle rules on TM1.5 and TM 2.0 and they are the same. Why is it different, or rather how can I fix it, please? These are the rules. They are the same, just in a different order – and I have swapped order to see if it makes any difference. it does not. //IN TM1.5 { decreaseIndentPattern = '^(.*\*/)?\s*\}([^}{"'']*\{)?[;\s]*(//.*|/\*.*\*/\s*)?$|^\s*(public|final|dynamic|internal):\s*$'; increaseIndentPattern = '^.*\{[^}"'']*$|^\s*(public|final|dynamic|internal):\s*$'; indentNextLinePattern = '^(?!(.*[};:])?\s*(//|/\*.*\*/\s*$)).*[^\s;:{}]\s*$'; } //in TM2 { increaseIndentPattern = '^.*\{[^}"'']*$|^\s*(public|final|dynamic|internal):\s*$'; decreaseIndentPattern = '^(.*\*/)?\s*\}([^}{"'']*\{)?[;\s]*(//.*|/\*.*\*/\s*)?$|^\s*(public|final|dynamic|internal):\s*$'; indentNextLinePattern = '^(?!(.*[};:])?\s*(//|/\*.*\*/\s*$)).*[^\s;:{}]\s*$'; }

Tab dragging bug with Wacom tablet

by axe＠fyrehaus.com

Hello I’ve noticed a strange bug in Textmate when using an artist's Wacom Tablet. Sometimes if I quickly click on a tab to select it, and the stylus moves slightly (as if the tab is only dragged a few pixels), the tab clicked becomes light in color and gets stuck. All tabs in the window become non-functional at that point, no text can be selected, other windows can be brought to the front but they are also frozen short of being draggable. Quitting the app and restarting fixes it. It's an easily reproducible problem if you have a tablet to test with. Just felt I should point it out so maybe you guys can fix it. Thanks

Code preview in Finder

How do you get the Finder preview to show the syntax colored code as seen in TextMate? This seemed to work automagically for an older bundle I created. I'm working a new bundle and the Finder only shows the generic document icon. Thanks, John DeSoi, Ph.D.

Large file does not properly paint text when scrolling in v2.0 on MacOS Catalina

by Gregg Kellogg

I created an issue for this in github.com/textmate/bugs (https://github.com/textmate/bugs/issues/33), but perhaps that issue tracker isn’t monitored any longer. After upgrading to MacOS 10.15 (Catalina), scrolling through a large file (>6000 lines) often does not properly paint the text. This can be temporarily corrected by dragging a selection over the missing text. • OS version: MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) • Textmate version: 2019-09-15 (v2.0) • Affected file: https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-api/blob/master/index.html. • File language: HTML Most recently, I noticed this when moving to line 3500 in the referenced file and scrolling downwards.

Re: TM's QuickLook plugin

I am seeing the same thing in the Finder on Catalina.

TM's QuickLook plugin

by Marc Wilson

Am I missing something? On my old laptop, running Mojave, on which I've been upgrading TM forever, I QL any file TM recognizes and the OS uses TM's parser, I get my theme, etc. On my shiny new Catalina laptop, I get what I think is the built-in basic text QL plugin, no TM. It's been a while, I admit... is there something somewhere that has to be turned on? -- Marc Wilson posguy99(a)gmail.com

Possible additional Touchbar icons

by Tim Bates

Nice to see Touch Bar improvements: Thank you! Be nice if the "open recent project" touch bar button _closed_ this window if touched while window is already open. Can touch bar icons respond to which window is frontmost? If so, it would be helpful when the Find window is frontmost, to have 1. A touch icon for the "regex" check box (what is the short cut for that?) 2. Tie the “<" and “>" touch icons to window "previous" and "next" buttons. Having a touch icon to select surrounding braces {} for selecting surrounding braces would be useful. Having touch icons for "the Ts" would be helpful: 1. a touch bar icon ("fun”?) for cmd-cntr-T ("Select bundle item") 2. a touch bar icon "TODO" for cntrl-shift-T (TODO list) 3. a touch bar icon "symbol" for cmd-shift-T (symbol jump) Best, tim > On 18 Aug 2019, at 16:49, Ronald Wampler <rdwampler(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > On Sat, Aug 17, 2019 at 6:14 PM Curt Sellmer <sellmerfud(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I have been playing with the touchbar support in texmate and have noticed the following. >> >> If I set bookmarks in my document the touchbar buttons with up/down chevrons will correctly take me to the previous or next bookmark respectively. >> >> However, if I make a change to the document and save it.

weirdness in 2.0.15

by Rob McBroom

So, this is odd. Notice the white when the cursor flashes, the change in background when text is added, and the other stuff. https://skurfer.com/files/TextMate_Custom_Theme.mov I thought it was an issue with light themes since it wasn’t happening with most files. (My default theme for most things is dark, but Markdown files use a light background and my default for new documents is Markdown.) Anyway, it appears to be theme-specific. I tried another light theme as my default for Markdown and didn’t see these problems. The (unfinished) theme I’m using in the video is attached. Maybe there’s something wrong with the theme, but I’ve been using it for years. (Yes, and it’s still unfinished.) Thanks. -- Rob McBroom

Problem: moving the screen up or down randomly

by Tao Zha

Hi: When I use Mac’s recent TextMate version (2.0.6) to edit my latex file (a .tex file), TextMate rolls the screen up randomly away from the cursor so that the screen will not stay in one place. Do you know there is any way to fix this annoying problem? Older versions of TextMate did not have such a problem. Thanks, Tao

TextMate 2.0.14 and 2.0.15 broken

by Paulo Moura

Hi, After updating form 2.0.13 to 2.0.14, I cannot use the keyboard, TouchBar icons appear as white boxes, and menu shortcuts are not rendered. After downloading TextMate from GitHub and reinstalling 2.0.14 a couple of times, TextMate started working again. Today, I updated from 2.0.14 to 2.0.15 and same problem again. But this time I have been unable to solve it by reinstalling 2.0.15 using the GitHub download. I'm on 10.14.6 with a MacBook Pro with a Portuguese keyboard. Suggestion on how to get back to a working installation with 2.0.15 appreciated. Downgrading to 2.0.12 also doesn't work: TextMate crashes on startup.

Find window glitch

I’m really enjoying all of the improvements to the Find dialog, but I noticed the ‘g’ in Ignore Case is being cut off. ![](cid:477B97DE-56E1-437A-9859-729C6FCD2FFE@skurfer.com "Screen Shot 2020-05-15 at 11.41.46 PM.png") This is a minor thing, but I thought I should mention it since it continues to be there despite several recent updates.
