I know this could be a point of much controversy, but I encourage
people to avoid "top quoting" i.e. having a long quote of sometimes the
entire email you want to comment on, and then putting comments
underneath.
I don't like "bottom quoting" much either, although it does have the
advantage that you don't have to scroll a few pages to read the mail...
ideally, snip out relevant parts and quote on those. It's probasbly not
difficult for most people to go back to the mail being refered to …
[View More]and
check, if further depth is needed.

Just a proposal regarding the snippets.
It would be most useful if the snippets were only active when their respective mode is active. This way, the same trigger could be used for various modes and applications.
For example, the trigger "table" being already used for html, it cannot be currently used for Latex. However, if the triggers were tied to a mode, we could use the same trigger, simplifying our lifes.

Yo,
I have found a cool replacement icon for my TextMate while browsing
through my icon collection, check it out:
I like it not only because it looks pretty cool, bet also because it
contains the elements of TextMate spirit: text (the pen) and automation
(the LEDs). It's part of the "World of Aqua 4" pack from the geniuses
at IconFactory.
You can also find the following one in the "World of Aqua 3" pack, but
it's looking more obvious and boring I think ;)

I hope Gaetan Le Guelvouit, Andrew Ellis and Normand Mousseau are on
the list, as they are the primary contributors to the LaTeX bundle.
(I am a minor contributor.)
Can somebody volunteer to merge all the changes into the One True LaTeX Bundle?
Fixes to Do
1. I think GLG's fork missed some of Ellis's contributions, including
his heretical Send to iTeXMac;
2. the last bundle posted by NM broke my Open in TexShop command
open -a TexShop "$TM_FILEPATH"
Note the path has to be quoted or it …
[View More]will break on systems with
spaces in their path;
3. $ \Pi $ and \( \Pi \) are highlighted differently. That seems wrong.
It's pretty cool that people are contributing in this way! If we can
coordinate a little bit, it will be even more powerful.
- Eric
ps. Why don't I just merge the thing? I'm going on the road for a week...

I have noticed that the latest beta cannot open actionscript files with a
.as extension in a project, this is because .as is missing from the
Info.plist list of recognised extensions - oops!

Hi All,
The whole question is in the title ;-) : What is the syntax to be
used in Find/Replace dialog to move text to Upper- or Lower- case? there
was such a feature in BBEdit, but could not find it in TextMate.
Find : <.+?>
Replace : lowercase($0)
Thanks,

I installed Lars Pind's OpenACS bundle
(http://pinds.com/blog/one-entry?entry%5fid=20990) and started playing
around with it a bit. I noticed that for some reason TM can't open the
files (with extensions adp, tcl and xql) from the project drawer. With
normal open command they opened nicely.
I fixed this by adding the extensions to Info.plist file in TextMate
application folder, but I fear it gets replaced when upgrading.
Besides, I guess there's (or should be) a way a bundle developer …
[View More]could
add file extensions TextMate (with a given bundle) can handle. Any
pointers on how to obtain this?
TIA,
Jarkko

Im a big fan of BBEdit (or at least I used to be), one of the things I liked
was the option to search for "Whole words only" in the find dialog, now I
know I could do this with a bit of regex, but it would be nice to have that
option as a simple checkbox. What would also be very cool is for TextMate to
remember previous searches you have done (like the Google field in Safari)
so you can retrieve those painstakingly written regex search and replace
strings!

Im sure others have noticed this but Im finding the tooltips in the drawer a
real pain in the arse, they appear when I don't want them to, cover stuff up
and wont go away when I point at something new in the list. I know Allan
mentioned that the individual items arent individually "hitable" but I think
this needs some improvement.

Whilst preventing TextMate from opening non-supported files is welcome
(change in b4):
> TextMate will only open files from the project drawer if their
> extension is found in the Info.plist, or if they have no extension
> (hidden files like .htaccess are considered to have no extension).
This now prevents me from running commands on the file selected in the
project drawer, as $TM_FILEPATH is the frontmost _open_ file. (I have a
'Test Movie in Flash' command as part of my …
[View More]ActionScript bundle, now
broken, to be run on .fla files in my project). Any chance you could
add another variable, e.g. $TM_SELECTEDFILE or something, so we can
access these?
Also, why not allow these non-supported files to be opened by the
Finder when double-clicking them? And having a Open with Finder command
as well as a Reveal in Finder command?

Hello,
I've noticed that disabling Gutter -> Folding also disables the folding
functionality, and there is no way to turn it back on. I think these to
should be controlled separately. For me the small three-dots icon is
sufficient for folding control.
In any case that's a bit counterintuitive. Gutter submenu is supposed
to control the gutter only and not the general behavior.

Can you add 'as' for ActionScript to the default list of supported file
types in Info.plist? Thanks.
>Need to add the .pm extension into the plist for perl modules. (Same

Good point. Updated, along with "Send to Affrus" command and "Perldoc
Search" command, where you highlight a word and get a window of
perldoc -f information.

I am trying to make sure that HTML code inside a PHP file is correctly
highlighted, but is unsure about how to do it.
Example:
<?php
function PrintHtml( )
{
?>
<!-- HTML ONLY AREA -->
<p>This is HTML</p>
<?php
}
?>
I understand that the syntax is as follows, but I don't know what the
'begin' and 'end' tags should be.
name = "Embedded HTML"; begin = "???????????"; end = "??????????????";
patterns = (
{ include = "HTML"; }
);
If anyone can …
[View More]help, I'd be grateful.
Kind regards,

Hi Allan (and others:),
Recording and saving macros is great, editing macros is even
greater. With commands like "pastePrevious:" and "pasteNext:" we can do
a lot of work.
But we have to record and edit a lot of macros to find all available
commands. So, to spare us time, will you publish the commands list?
Thanks,

It would be preferred if people would write a new letter to this list,
rather than reply to an old one, when the content is new -- I know it
requires one to fill in the To-header, but when replying to an old
letter, it screws up the threading.
Kind regards Allan
I just noticed that the coloration for "def" is a bit overeager, see
attached snapshot. Look for "def_port".

Im guessing from the other discussions floating around that there is some
way to make "smart" folders in the project drawer, most likely using regex
matches on filenames, but I am unclear exactly how to do this, perhaps
someone could enlighten me?

I don't think this made it to any of the documentation:
When the project drawer has key focus, you can press 'space' to
activate rename, and return to open the selected file (this should
probably be supplemented by cmd-down as in Finder).
To activate rename with the mouse, hold down option while clicking the
item (or use the context menu).
The reason why groups cannot be double clicked to activate rename (as
some have requested) is that I plan to do it more like Finder in the
future, so …
[View More]that double clicking a group will enter that group, and make
the project drawer only show the files contained in the group (there'll
be a back button of course).
Kind regards Allan

Hi,
Probably unfair to call the following a bug - as it's behaviour that
seems correct in the context of a purely local filesystem. However, it
can catch you out if your Project contains references to remote files.
It went like this:
1/. Create a deeply nested Project file, consisting solely of pointers
to files on a remote disk (mounted via SMB).
2/. Do work, close Project file.
3/. Eject the SMB drive. Go to lunch, or whatever.
4/. Return from whatever and reopen the Project file - …
[View More]forgetting to
remount the remote disk first ...
5/. Gaze in silent horror at the empty Project.
On start-up, TM silently deletes all unresolveable file references from
the Project, leaving only the Groups that you have created. Any
laboriously constructed filter definitions are deleted too, of course.
TM immediately writes the revised Project file back to disk, making
sure that you can't recover from your mistake.
Might it be an idea to have TM pop up a warning - if it detects that a
remote volume has disappeared?
On a machine left idle for any length of time, 'sleep' can cause
remote volumes to eject themselves - so I guess TM would need to check
this periodically, and not just at start-up.
Cheers,
-- Andre

I put a feature request for this on the wiki, but I thought it was
probably worth shouting out here too.
It would be really great if labels applied in the Finder (you know, the
colour-coded blob things) were shown in the Project Drawer.
I use labels to mark the most important files and folders in my web
apps, and being able to make use of this in TM would be *fantastic*.
Cheers.

Yo,
I was playing with TM, trying to find some nits to pick and found the
"View -> Wrap Column -> Other" thingy :)
The default wrap width is at 78, and I usually use 80, so I went to
change this and selected the previously mentioned menu item. I was
expecting some sort of dialog or sheet, but saw nothing. Worse, the
'View' menu was still highlighted so I immediately thought that
something wrong was happening and/or that TM was stuck or about to
crash. When something like this …
[View More]happens in an application, I have this
pavlovian habit to agitate the mouse a bit to see if the spinning pizza
of death shows up, before I just kill the app. But this time it helped
to see that, oooooh, something was actually hapenning IN the current
text window: setting the wrap width is done using an "in-place
interactive bar"...
I see three usability problems with this:
- The obvious one, which I mentioned in my (unnecessary verbose)
introduction is that unless you already know how it works, you have no
freakin' clue what happens after you select the "Other" menu item.
- You can't modify the wrap width when no window is open.
- And now try that in a window using one of those syntax which have the
infamous black background, and see how far the confusion can get... :>
Sorry, I'm a natural born nitpicker ;)

I am not sure if I should put this in as a feature request...
There is a very very nice feature (or possibly quirk?) to the text
library that SubEthaEdit and BBEdit are built on. When you adjust the
font size for Monaco down to "9" then it loses its fuzziness and
"snaps" into pixel-perfect, fixed-width readability. I don't know why
this happens but TextMate doesn't do it. If I turn font smoothing off
for size 9 and lower, TextMate makes Monaco pixelated and crisper, but
it does not …
[View More]look fixed-width (i.e. it's slightly squished together for
some letters and not very easy to read).
I know this seems trivial, but staring at code all day is hard enough
on the eyes as it is, yet the SubEtha/BBEdit font rendering is much
more scannable.
Any ideas of settings adjustments I can try?
thanks, kumar
