Hi, While creating my syntax plist for python I ran into two things: - Is it possible to activate a syntax mode without restarting TextMate? - Is there a syntax highlighter for plists yet ? :) Jeroen.

[TextMate] Project file drawer

by Phil Aaronson

Hi All, I seem to be locked in a battle of wills with the project file drawer (for lack of a better name). I remove references to sub-directories and files, and well, the file drawer puts them back in. Repeat. Repeat. Swear, and give round one to TextMate. Anyone else battling with the drawer? I got into this test of wills by dragging and dropping a directory tree that looked like: YYYY/MM and then removing references to a few YYYY/MM/img directories and the occasional pdf file. Well, "removing" them very temporarily :) Thanks, Phil

[TextMate] Re: Problem with UTF8 encoding

I don't have BBEdit, but I think BBEdit _always_ opens as MacRoman.

The BOM is optional in utf-8, and generally you _don't_ want it, since a) it makes no sense as there is no byte-order ambiguity, b) it rules the nice property of utf-8 being compatible with ascii, c) utf-8 encoding is really easy to recognize even without a BOM. But if several programs only treat utf-8 properly when it has a BOM, I will consider adding an option -- though I would recommend against using it of course! ;) Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Find/Replace special characters

by Patrick Burleson

Hello all, I'm loving TM even with it's little blemishes (like not printing!). But here's a question: How do I search for or replace text with a special character, such as a <CR>? With UltraEdit I would use ^M or something like that. Does TM offer the same sorts of things? Thanks, Patrick

[TextMate] Xcode external editor support

by Chris Thomas

I'm using TextMate as my Xcode external editor. This works pretty well, but I have a couple of problems: (1) TextMate doesn't seem to support the external editor interface. Specifically, what seems to be missing is the ability to go directly to a specified line when opening a file. This is described here: http://www.codingmonkeys.de/techpubs/externaleditor/ pbxexternaleditor.html Remarks Metrowerks state in their documentation that the IDE (here Project Builder) uses the optional keyAEPosition parameter to tell the editor the selection range. If lineNum is zero or greater, scroll the text to the specified line. If lineNum is less than zero, use the values in startRange and endRange to select the specified characters. Scroll the text to display the selection. If lineNum, startRange and endRange are all negative, there is no selection range specified. Basically, intercept the odoc AppleEvent and read the optional parameter for line number or selection information. (2) When I open a TextMate document that I already have open, TextMate creates a new window for it and leaves the old window open too. This can be very useful under special circumstances, however -- more frequently -- it just rapidly and pointlessly clutters up my desktop. Creating a new window is useful, but should be an optional behavior. Usually, what I'm trying to do when I open a document is navigate to an existing window, relying on the standard Mac UI behavior. I will frequently double-click a file in the Xcode project window to get back to TextMate, most often a file I already have open. Chris

[TextMate] More icon feedback

by Drew McLellan

I know this has been discussed, and a number of people have expressed their view that the TextMate icon isn't too visually pleasing already. However, using TM in anger today, I keep finding myself searching frantically for the icon in the dock. It's so indistinguishable at a small size that I literally find it hard to see. So I guess my point is that it's easy to dismiss concerns over the icon as a matter of taste. Unfortunately in this case, and certainly for me, it's a matter of usability - the icon isn't doing its job. See attached! I think I'm going to hunt out an alternative to use in the meantime, but I hope that's useful feedback. drew.

[TextMate] Feature Request

by Eric Curtis

Hello, Early on the first day of this mailing list I sent an email about my first impressions, both positive and negative, which generated a few responses, including one from Allen I believe. That said I want to highlight what for me, as an HTML coder, is the only major downfall that has not been spoken about extensively: > Dragging an image from the project pane into a HTML file should add > something like <img src="eric.jpg" alt="eric" width="100" height="100" > /> and not the actual source code of an image at the insertion point. Now I have seen a few requests that suggest highlighting an image in the project drawer should display the graphic file instead of the code and I agree, however this is not the major hurdle in my book. We need to be able to grab a file from the drawer and pull it into our html code and have the correct width and height added automatically. I have been letting this subject percolate for a few days in my head and I just can not think of another workaround that would approach any reasonable level of efficiency (I would love to hear some though). I could make a macro and have it tab stop at the name, width, height and alt however I am not going to know the width and height in 99% of the cases. I personally would also like to have it automatically add the file name without the extension as the alt tag though some might argue that this will promote poor coding practices, I tend to label my files with readable names... Please take care of this ASAP... Sincerely, Eric Curtis

[TextMate] [RFC] Drag actions

by Allan Odgaard

FYI: RFC = Request For Comments. Based on recent input I suggest that I add a new list of 'drag actions'. This will be similar to commands in that it's just a shell command TM will execute (with the normal TM-variables, adding one for the path of (the) dragged file(s) and one for the modifier keys). The output options will also be as for commands, although I'll be adding a new output option: Insert as Snippet (this will be added to all the shell executions where you can select what to do with the output). A drag-action can set a regex to be matched against the current file and the dragged file, if both match, the drag action will be executed (this should probably be a prioritized list instead of TM showing a menu when multiple actions could be applied, since it's likely one wants to do 'catch all' rules). Additionally there should probably be an option to set whether the drag action can work with multiple files (and if this is not set, it will be executed once for every file). Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Separation of style & syntax (was: TextMate ActionScript Bundle)

by Allan Odgaard

On 11. Oct 2004, at 8:36, Rob Bevan wrote: > [...] I'd much prefer it if TextMate adopted the Xcode way of doing > this: the syntax file defines the language (primitives, built-in > classes, built-in methods, user functions, preprocessor directives, > Numbers and operators: whatever) and the user gets to pick how they > want those displayed [...] Yes, as I thought I made clear on the ML, there will be separate style sheets in a later version. Though I don't think it is as simple as Xcode and just a few "global" names, since TM has a rather free style to define syntax highlight, like in the HTML syntax file where a stand-alone & gets a red background, or the way that HTML uses color for markup when on its own, but grey-tones when there is embedded scripting (and colors are than reserved for scripts) -- plus when embedding stuff, the names would clash (i.e. a string in HTML, and the embedded JavaScript, Ruby, PHP or whatever, would be identical). But the system I have in mind is similar to normal CSS, so it should allow both catch-all rules and pin-pointing individual elements (and put no restrain on which elements a syntax file can define). Also, if I didn't mention this earlier, with the breakup of syntax and style, the former will also be used to enable/disable stuff like spell checking, foldings, smart-typing etc. for comments, strings, tags in HTML, etc., mark filenames so that they can be "followed" in the editor (#include, require(), <a href="...">, etc.), mark function prototypes or sections so that they can appear in the highly requested function popup a.s.o. -- and full recursion will also be supported (which may also then make it possible to do a (clickable) bread crumb display of context in the status bar). I will also re-visit the folding marker-system -- so this is really a major overhaul of the current system! I'll probably dedicate a portion of the wiki to collect requests for this system when the time is right -- currently I have a lot of other things that needs to be "fixed" with TextMate before I can spend resources on this new syntax system.

[TextMate] View Safari source in TM?

by bongoman

Hi there There is an InputManager here: http://www.codingmonkeys.de/map/log/archives/000107.html that hijacks the output of Safari's "view source" command to SubEthaEdit. It is beyond my expertise to come up with something similar for TM but reckon it might be useful.I like it when I am coding PHP and want to get back the processed HTML from my local development server to look at the final output. In BBEdit I would then maybe "check syntax" to see if my PHP was producing OK (X)HTML (although I gather this is not possible in TM? Maybe there is a CLI-based tool to validate XHTML to which TM could talk? ) So, I'm putting it out there for some generous soul to hack one up for TM ;-) The above link even includes the source code. Any takers? bongoman

[TextMate] Updating TextMate?

by bongoman

As I slowly customise TextMate by altering the bundles in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate, I'm wondering what happens when TextMate is updated with alterations to the default snippets, macros & commands? To get the benefit of such bundle updates am I going to have to manually edit my bundles in the above location to include the extras in the new bundles? Or do the bundles in the actual application package have effect to the extent that individual elements therein have not been overriden by anything in the user's Library/Application Support directory? I hope this question is clear... bongoman

[TextMate] Window mockups update

by Luc Heinrich

Greetings, Someone mentioned XCode top bars this morning (which I think is an excellent idea, much better than my previous scroll bars adorners attempt imho) when I was actually about to post updated mockups as well :) Here they are anyway: I think it looks better than the bottom status bar, and it leaves room (which was a valid concern) for possible additions, popups, buttons, whatever. It looks even better in the project window because it makes a better separation between the tabs and the editing pane: Thoughts ? PS: question for the list moderators: what is the preferred method to post screenshots on the list ? Attached pictures have to go through moderator approval, which is obvious, so do you prefer URLs for example ? -- Luc Heinrich - lucsky(a)mac.com - http://www.honk-honk.com

[TextMate] searches from within TM

by Justin French

Fellow TextMates, Allan has added a nice little menu in 1.0.1 for the times when two or more things 'clash' on the same keyboard shortcut (like commands)... this then allowed us to 'stack' multiple similar commands (like search engines) onto the one key command, like the 'help' key. which is very cool. So, I've added support for Dictionary.com, Google, Thesaurus.com, Wikipedia, Yahoo in the default bundle, and PHP.net in the PHP bundle. See screen grab attached. Basically, it pumps the current word into your chosen search engine, and it works great!! I'm looking for nominations for additional searches to be added to the Default, PHP, HTML or CSS bundles... right now it doesn't appear we can add W3.org sites, because there's no nice flat URL structure to work off, and no focused search engine. Feel free to also say "we don't need Yahoo", etc etc. I'm thinking perhaps an amazon.com search would be a possibility, but really I'm looking for any search-based technical references that could be of help to the masses of TM users by feeding it the current word. It's totally easy to add your own in 1.0.1 by the way :) Justin

[TextMate] New doc from template outside the 'project' context?

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to create a new document from a template without having to be in a project. Right now I've just got a scratch project for this stuff, but I kind of like the way BBEdit will let you make a 'New from template...' right there in the File menu. thanks, Raena

[TextMate] TM and hard links

by Ollivier Robert

Hi Allan, I've hit something that bother me a lot since I use Arch/tla[1] as version control software. It has a feature where files are shared through hard links in a revision library meaning that if across several changesets, a given file doesn't change, it is stored only one time. That requires that the editor one use to edit the file break hard links on Save (i.e. creating the new file and renaming instead of save in-place). Emacs does that by default and vim can be tweaked to do it too. I don't know what BBEdit does because I've never used it outside the demo mode. I've already bought TM because I think it is a great editor but to be able to use it for all my developements, I need TM to behave like the above. The default behaviour is breaking all revisions stored in the library :( Thoughts, comments? ----- [1] http://gnuarch.org/ -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto(a)keltia.freenix.fr Darwin snuadh.freenix.org Kernel Version 7.5.0: Wed May 12 16:58:24 PDT 2004

[TextMate] Code Folding

Hi TextMate Users, Consider the following codes: <div> ... <li> ... </li> ... </div> When I try to fold the codes by clicking on <div>, it only folds to </li>. To fold to </div>, I have to fold <li> and then fold <div>. Is there anyway around that? ip -- "If you ever find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause, and reflect. -- Mark Twain

[TextMate] Problem with folding

by Chris Brierley

I can't think of a way to get folding to work for Python code. I think it's because of the way folding is implemented in TextMate, so I don't think it's possible, but I'm hoping someone can think of something. In Python, all blocks are delineated by indentation. So, here's a couple of blocks: if 1: foo() bar() else: fnord() You'd want to be able to fold "if 1:" through "bar()" and be able to fold "else:" through "fnord()". I can't think of any way to do this with TextMate's folding implementation. It's easy enough to set a foldingStartMarker -- any line ending with a ":" (simply speaking). But what foldingStopMarker? The "mark" is the next line with the same indendation as the starting line, but that line is *not* part of the fold. You want the fold to end before that line. I'm tearing my hair out over here. Can anyone think of a clever way to do this? Am I missing something, or is this just impossible with the current implementation? Thanks to anyone for help!

[TextMate] picking two dialog box nits

by Merlin Mann

1. For me, hitting `ESC` in a dialog box is not invoking the `Cancel` button (works that way in most apps) 2. When the `Save` dialog box first comes up, I'd love it if _just_ the pre-suffix name were selected. So on a new, blank document, it would select "`untitled`" instead of all of "`untitled.txt`". Makes renaming a lot faster. (Is this the kind of thing that's appropriate here, or is there a Bugzilla type thing where we should be posting bugs, whines, and pony requests?) ;) -- Merlin Mann 43Folders.com
