Is it open to me to set HTML attributes to have a different color to the tag itself? I'm aware that I can edit the relevant file in the Bundles directory to configure my syntax coloring but recall reading something somewhere that this was not possible as yet re attributes & tags.

[TextMate] quickie Perl syntax coloring

by Eric Hsu

Hi folks, I wanted to try TM for Perl programming, so I whipped up a quickie syntax coloring bundle, available at <http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate>. You might not like my subtle colors. Feel free to change them for yourself. I'm certain this work can be improved. If you do modify it, I'd appreciate your sending me the improved copy! best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

[TextMate] [Tip] Embed selection in tag, lookup PHP functions

by Allan Odgaard

James A. Baker asked me for a BBEdit feature where the selection is wrapped in a tag, which you pick from a list of tags. But then his stream of thoughts derived the following TextMate solution, which I think was very neat: Create this snippet, name it _wtag: <${2:tt}>$1</${2:tt}>$0 Then select Start Macro Recording and type: cmd-x, _wtag, tab, cmd-v, tab, stop recording, save it for later. Now you have a macro which wraps the current selection inside a tag pair (the default tag name is tt, but you can change it). Press tab again after having typed the name to leave the snippet. Another neat trick I saw on a blog (but unfortunately lost the reference) was a command configured to do: open http://php.net/$TM_CURRENT_WORD So simple, and yet so powerful (it looks up the word under the caret in the PHP reference documentation). It's really fantastic to see this end-user innovation, keep it up! :) Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Praise and Comments

by Rich Barton

Just thought I'd chime in with my experiences of using TM over the last couple of days. Firstly, may I heap lavish praise on the developer(s). The live-updating project drawer (despite its shortcomings, below) is fantastic, and the Esc autocomplete is nothing short of magic. How does it *always* seem to guess the right completion for a given start string out of many possibilities? Regardless, this has made coding a lot less laborious. The snippet and macro features are also great time savers. But enough of the praise, here's my comments and suggestions :-) * I rarely want to view the ASCII version of an image file. How about a preview of the image in the editor pane instead? * Whilst speed is generally not an issue, there is an annoying 2-4 second delay (i.e. spinning beach-ball) when switching to TM when I've got an (open) project located on an SMB share. * By default, TM requires a lot of keyboard mashing for relatively common commands. For instance, I see no reason why the Command + Option + Control + D for toggling the project drawer can't simply be Command + D (in fact, I've hacked this myself in IB and it works fine) * How about a split view (i.e. the ability to see different sections of the same document at once)? * TM doesn't seem to remember the window scroll position if you do the following: open a document (that scrolls), and scroll down without changing the insertion point. Switch to another document/tab. Switch back. The window scroll position is back to its original position, and is no longer at the section of text I was looking at. * When searching within a document for a string located "below the fold", the matching string barely creeps "above the fold", i.e. is bottom aligned relative to the window. This makes it harder to see the match in context. I prefer the behaviour (which I believe BBEdit exhibits) whereby the matching string is centred vertically in the window, making it easier to spot and put in context. * How about being able to create a "real" folder (as opposed to a group) in the project draw? * I would like the group name to be selected and editable immediately after its creation, à la "New Folder" in the Finder * The Shift Left/Shift Right commands exhibit weird behaviour. I expect them to work like Command + [ and Command + ] in BBEdit or SubEthaEdit, but they don't. (Sorry for the vagueness. It's easier for you to see it yourself than for me to describe how.) Overall, I like the direction TextMate is going in. Regards, Rich Barton

[TextMate] Cursor size

I found the single pixel cursor rather difficult to see with a black background (even though I've edited the bundle for Ruby now). I'd like to see an option to use a block cursor.

[TextMate] Latex, python and TAB behaviour

by profprof＠mac.com

I have just downloaded textmate and I looks like a very promising editor. I hope to be able to use it soon! I would very much like to see an environment for both latex and python. Those two environments are those I am in most of the time. I am sure that I not alone. Also, to me the tab behaviour of Emacs (where you can press tab anywhere on a line to align the content of the line) is a big plus when programming. It helps structure back the code rapidly. This feature would be part of a more global automatic formatting for programs but at least it is almost essential. This being said, you are doing an excellent work! Congratulations and I look forward to your next version which might include these features.

[TextMate] Syntax coloring and "/"

by Jim Menard

When editing Ruby code, everything after the first "/" in code turns yellow. For example, in the code class Foo def bletch(num) @foo = num / 12 end end everything from the "/" to the end of the file is yellow. Is this a known issue? What can I do to fix it? Jim -- Jim Menard, jimm(a)io.com, http://www.io.com/~jimm "...it uses Smalltalk, rather than modern-day kludges such as Java, which resembles a modern object-orientated environment in the way that a pub ashtray resembles a cigar store." -- Andrew Orlowski, "Forgotten language enables nonstop gadgets", The Reg

[TextMate] Love for Textmate, and some thoughts/observations

by Raena Armitage

Hey, Thanks for a really neat product. I'm still messing about with it, but I think it's a keeper. I've noticed some things, though -- Odd help behaviour: the tooltip that appears when you hover over the Commands textarea says that you can use the purple help icon to get a full list of TextMate's exported variables, but that just goes to the Commands reference page instead. There's a small link to the list of variables, sure, but maybe the list of variables belongs on that page too? (or it should link there as advertised, instead?) Also, why does selecting Help *from the Help menu,* while the commands window is open, mean that it goes to that page? I understand that context is cool, but I expect to find that choosing '(AppName) Help' from the Help menu would take me to the app's help index page. Second: the whole dealie about the preferences window has been discussed, it seems, but it's also something I miss. While there's nothing that really *has* to be in a preference window, it seems logical to me that per-document options ought to be kept well away from the permanent ones. Third, I'm not sure if it's my own font problems or not, but I've never noticed it any other place -- when I'm using any bitmap font the first character in a line has a larger gap between it and the next character. You can see this in action here: <http://www.raena.net/images/gappy.gif> Fourth, why is Page Up and Down moving the insertion point? Can one change that at all? And finally, I'm not really concerned with (s)ftp support myself since I prefer to use Transmit, but does anyone know how i can tell Transmit to make TextMate available in its list of external editors? Can that be done at all?

[TextMate] Working with multiple screens

by Drew McLellan

I usually work with an additional monitor plugged into my Powerbook at home, but not at work. If I accidentally leave anything open on the external monitor before disconnecting everything, on restoring the affected application the window is pulled onto screen. That is to say, if at any time the desktop area is reduced, windows readjust their position so not to be lost. TextMate doesn't seem to be doing this. I connected up my external monitor this evening to find a window that had been 'lost' all day! drew.

[TextMate] Function list?

[TextMate] Feedback and feature requests

by Kevin Hunt

Hey Allan & David, First, thanks for filling a major void in OSX land. I've been using UltraEdit on Windows for several years until I bought a Powerbook in August. I love everything about OSX except the lack of a solid (and reasonably priced) text editor. Thanks to ditto, I think I found one. So far I'm pleased with TextMate, though I haven't been able to use it much. The single biggest problem I've found so far is that it seems to load files entirely into memory. Try loading a 100MB enterprise server log in TextMate and you'll see it die while consuming megabyte after megabyte of memory. UltraEdit by contrast only loads what it needs into memory, making it very very fast while viewing and manipulating large files. UltraEdit handles GB-size files without breaking a sweat. I think the only complication around that is line numbering becomes slightly more involved. The second feature I'm looking for is a hex view/edit/search&replace. Being able to locate and fix an invalid UTF-8 character sequence inside an XML file that is causing my application to bomb has proven to be a critical feature. Hex search&replace comes in handy when I need to remove all 0x00 characters from a file, for example. Finally -- and this should be the easy one -- please add a "count" button to the search window. Often I want to count the occurrences of a certain error message in a log, or see how many things I'm about to change by search&replace. That's it (for now ;) Keep up the good work! Thanks, Kevin Hunt

[TextMate] defining syntaxes

by Brian Lalor

Couple of questions regarding syntaxes: I'm working on modifying the HTML syntax to support JSP. I've created the following definition for comments; JSP and HTML comments are similar. JSP comments look like <%-- comment --%>. I can use a simple regexp to search for  ... or maybe ... <%-- --> --%> I've currently got the (not quite smart enough) pattern: { name = "Comments"; begin = "<[%!]--"; end = "--%?>"; foregroundColor = "red"; }, How is the "include" keyword supposed to work in a pattern? I've tried this: name = "Embedded Java"; backgroundColor = "#E5E5E5"; begin = "<%"; include = "Java"; end = "%>"; ... but that only highlights the background of the excursion, not the text within. I've created a Java bundle with "Java" defined in Syntaxes/Java.plist. -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

[TextMate] Feature request: undo/redo

by Nick Hristov

I do not know if this has been mentioned before, but the undo/redo functionality needs improvements. What bothers me is that the undo functionality will "undo" stuff character-by-character, and not by block. I want block undos. Ideally, I would like to have more of a VIM-like undo functionality. You may wonder what would be defined as a "block undo"? One definition would be: any time when I type in text (or remote text with the backspace/delete) would be one block. When I move the mouse, or use the arrow keys, or use PGUP,PGDOWN, etc. the undo block would end. Nick

[TextMate] [Feature Request] Interarchy edit file over sftp

by Simon Dorfman

Interarchy supports ediiting files over sftp. It would make me überhappy is TestMate would support this feature. I asked the Interarchy developer what details you would need to know to make this work. He replied with the links to the info below. I know you intend to support editing files over sftp with TextMate in version 1.1, but I like Interarchy and adding compatability to work with Interarchy looks pretty simple. So pretty please with sugar on top, add this feature. :-D Thanks, Simon ------ Forwarded Message From: Peter N Lewis <peter(a)stairways.com.au> Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 10:06:08 +0800 To: Simon Dorfman <Simon(a)SimonDorfman.com> Subject: Re: Edit with...

[TextMate] Why is all the background colours dark ????

by Mats Persson

Hi all, I just downloaded the PHP & Smarty syntax bundle, and found that it too was based on a dark background. Can someone please explain this seeming 'obsession' with dark backgrounds when 99% of all other apps are the basic white background with black/coloured text ??? What is it that I don't get about it ??? (I personally find it very hard to read text that way.) Kind regards, Mats

[TextMate] feature request: better support for .textClipping files

by Jeff Ganyard

I hate .textClipping files, they are some kind of bastard implementation of a file. They really aren't terribly useable but they are easy to create and so show up far too often. I've never looked into the format but I don't understand why Apple didn't just make them txt or rtf files. Instead they created a specially functioning file that is not well supported. .textClipping files are supported as expected if you drag from the Finder to an open document in TextMate, i.e. the contents are inserted at the insertion point. Dropping a .textClipping file on TextMate's app icon opens a new empty window with the textClipping's name. Desired behavior would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the textClipping editable! Selecting a textClipping in the project drawer displays an empty window with the title set to the textClipping file's title. Desired behavior would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the textClipping editable. Dragging a textClipping file from a project window to the currently displayed document results in no change to the current document. Desired behavior is to insert the contents of the textClipping file at the insertion point, i.e. the same behavior as dragging from the Finder. thanks for listening!

[TextMate] Q: Running a periodic shell script automatically

by Merlin Mann

I can't decide if this is a TextMate question or a GREP question, but here goes. Like a lot of people, I frequently use HTML comments like this to remind myself where known problems exist: > `` Given that TextMate is pretty good at piping output from shell commands, would it not be possible to automagically generate a running "TODO" list in a file using a command similar to this...? > `grep -r FIXME /Users/USERNAME/Sites/FooProject/` Is that sensible? And how might I set that up in a doc to refresh itself? Better as a separate shell script I'd call up somehow? Maybe better off as manual macro I run when I want updates? TIA.

[TextMate] Folding Triangle Icon Suggestion

by Simon Dorfman

Hello, I'm just trying out TextMate and I very much like the feature for collapsing brackets. (I remember seeing a post on some mac blog about using OmniOutliner to write code just so a similar feature could be achieved. Anyway...) However, I have a suggestion. I have trouble distinguishing between the little triangle icons used on the left side. I was thinking adding color to them would make it much easier to see which is the top and bottom and which is collapsed. So I looked in the resources of the app and found the graphics files and tried changing them. The colors I chose are perhaps a bit much, but perhaps this post will inspire someone else (or the developers) to come up with a better color scheme. I went with a red-yellow-green stop-light color metaphor. Green is the top of an open triangle. Red is the bottom of an open triangle. And Yellow is a collapsed triangle. If that makes any sense... Basically, I changed these files: Folding Bottom Cap.png -> tint Red Folding Collapsed.png -> tint Yellow Folding Ellipsis.png -> tint Yellow Folding Top Cap.png -> tint Green I've attached a zip containing my newly tinted PNGs. I'm not sure if this mailing list will let attachments go through, but if it does, enjoy. Otherwise, I guess you'll have to tint 'em yourself. Simon in New Orleans
