I was poking around in the HTMl bundles and found an easy way to add more elements that would fold (Marc asked about this). Go to and edit: /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/ HTML.tmbundle/Syntaxes/HTML.plist Line 34 and 35 are: foldingStartMarker = "(<(?i:(head|table|div|style|script|ul|ol|form|dl|p|li|a|select))\\>.*? >|\\{)"; foldingStopMarker = "(</(?i: (head|table|div|style|script|ul|ol|form|dl|p|li|a|select))>|\\})"; I added the p,li,a, and select. One thing to note is that a fold will only occur if an element takes up multiple lines (one line wrapped will not fold). Have Fun, Eric Curtis

I write applications in Java, C#, Objective-C, C, C++, AppleScript, Perl and some other languages. I write HTML, CSS, JavaScript, RSS and more for several different web sites which use different versions of (X)HTML. I'm afraid I don't work with HTML often enough to remember what attributes were removed from which version of HTML, but I still want to write valid HTML. Of course I validiate my sites with the HTML validator. But even so I would like to have an editor that helps me write corrent HTML in the first place by showing me what's allowed and what's not while I actually write the code. This is not a show stopper. TextMate is great even without such a feature. But this feature would definitely help me a great deal and save a ton of my time. lucas - -- "There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being - to help someone succeed." -- Alan Loy McGinnis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP SDK 3.2.2 iQA/AwUBQWRAJrXYdom/dB2cEQJeGACgmlCeSc0p/4oUMK/C2/ToMlret/EAnA3L Zl4ZH/30CZfRPBLj2UySf465 =4foR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[TextMate] Two small requests

by Jeff Holland

Hi, First of all, congratulations on a very impressive first release! I think TextMate has great potential, but people should keep in mind that it's only a 1.0 release. BBEdit (for example) has a 12 year head-start! Give it some time. I humbly submit these two small(?) feature requests which I haven't yet seen on this list: - An option to highlight the line containing the insertion point (a la BBEdit 8). - An option to "Indent wrapped lines by n spaces" (a la Xcode). Both of these seemingly trivial things would make my coding life (ObjC/Ruby) a bit easier. Thanks for listening, and keep up the excellent work! Kind Regards, -jeff

[TextMate] ftp question

by Ron Pritchard

First of all, congrats on getting the app out. As an imminent switcher, I have been looking for an ultraedit replacement. I know the site says that Editing over Secure FTP is coming soon. However is there a way to open and save documents over FTP. I did a cursory search and couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ron

Nick, FTP Mount via the finder is read-only. That would be kinda pointless for this application wouldn't you think?

[TextMate] add these to feature requests

by Nick Hristov

Gread job so far, macromates! Here is stuff to think about: - AppleScriptability (pardon my ignorance, is it scriptable)? - Gutter: use color lines as clues for start and end of code blocks (steal that idea from jEdit :) - Preferences? Editting bundles is an unpleasant hybrid between mac and unix. (btw., in the short term you can create a "themes" part on your website and place collections of bundles there ... http://theexciter.com/ has a few already). Did I say you have done great job? Hope you bury bbsoftware :) Nick

When I open a Project, I mount the FTP Disk. Whenever I > change something in TextMate, it's being uploaded automatically to the > FTP server. The reason I don't want to use an actual FTP application is that I don't want to incessantly switch between the editor and the ftp-application. I just want to hit a shortcut key to upload the document I'm currently editing and that's it. Often times, I have many documents open at once, which reside in different directories. If I used a separate FTP-application, not only would I have to switch to it, but I'd also have to traverse to the right directory, on both the server and the client, and then upload the file in question -- instead of just hitting a keyboard shortcut in the editor and that's it. The interarchy feature you mention sounds pretty nice, and in fact I'll download Interarchy right now, because it does sound sweet, but having it integrated with the editor would be even better. By the way, something like that isn't possible with Transmit (which I currently use), right? Thanks for the tip on Interarchy, but the feature request still stands. ;-) Best regards, Tomas Jogin

[TextMate] Comparison with SubEthaEdit

by Andrew Green

Hi, Many congratulations on the release. TextMate is truly impressive stuff. I certainly wouldn't want to start any holy wars already, but I've written a small comparison of TextMate and my current daily editor, SubEthaEdit, that might be of passing interest. <URL:http://www.lowerelement.com/Geekery/Mac_OS_X/TextMate_vs_SubEthaEdit.ht…> As others have already observed, for programmers, an editor is the one piece of software in near-constant use, and deciding to switch to a new editor is a big, very personal, deal. I never could appreciate BBEdit in the way that many others do -- for me, TextMate is already streets ahead of BBEdit in terms of comfort. There are things about SubEthaEdit I'd sincerely miss, however, despite the excellent additional features offered by TextMate. The 30-day trial (and what I suspect will be a fairly aggressive release schedule of improvements) are very welcome in making that decision. Cheers, Andrew. -- :: article seven Andrew Green automatic internet andrew(a)article7.co.uk | www.article7.co.uk

[TextMate] I have no idea

by Damelon Kimbrough

Well, maybe I do. Just experimenting with TM and dropping files on an open window to see how it handles things. Everything pretty much everything opened as I expected until I dropped one file and got: setting up accounts.rtfd/ 1__#$!(a)%!#__smile.tiff 1__#$!(a)%!#__smile.tiff.tiff smile.tiff smile.tiff.tiff TXT.rtf wink.tiff wink.tiff.tiff Haha. The file in question was a cut and paste from a conversation that Dean and I had via iChat. Crazy stuff. So I'm not sharing silliness for no gain, what exactly am I seeing here? Why is TM only registering the embedded smiley graphics and not the text itself? – Damelon

[TextMate] inserting snippets

Hi TexMaters! Forgive the rudimentary nature of the question... Wondering how snippets work.

[TextMate] TextMate 1.0 is finally here! (one-time annoucement)

by David Heinemeier Hansson

TextMate 1.0 is finally here! We know that the wait has been excruciating and the longing unbearable, so we’re incredible proud and relieved to finally be able to say: It’s here! => http://macromates.com/release It's okay to rush for the download now. You can come back to read the rest of this later... TextMate was born out a personal frustration with the lack of a decent editor for code and markup on OS X. So TextMate is first and foremost a relief for that personal frustration. An editor that we could use to write C++, Ruby, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and any other programming or presentation language. But as all of you that signed up for this mailing list showed us, we were not alone with our frustrations. The anticipation for the release has really been overwhelming, so we're extremely happy to finally deliver. That said, this is a 1.0 release. There will be rough spots, there most certainly will be bugs that our extensive testing hasn't found yet, and there will be features missing that you'd wish were there. Hopefully, though, what is there will be promising enough that you'll feel comfortable jumping on board from the start. So instead of raving endlessly about what is there (go to the site for that), we're going to tell you what it still lacks: * Good defaults for more languages (1.1) Currently, only real love has been given to Obj-/C/C++, Ruby, HTML, and CSS. Hopefully, you guys will help us bring the same level of support to other languages. * Editing over Secure FTP (1.1) Work on files residing on another machine using Secure FTP. * Integrate with CVS/Subversion (1.2) Check-in, check-out, check-in, check-out. Why don't we sing that song from within the editor? As you can see, we're planning to address those points in near-future point releases that will be free upgrades to all who register version 1.0 of TextMate. We respect your right to try before you buy, so for 30 days you can enjoy a completely unrestricted version of TextMate -- without forced delays at start up or anything like that. What we would appreciate, though, is that you register TextMate as soon as you decide it's something for you. We're currently building TextMate on a 733mhz G4. It takes 45 minutes for a complete build. It's very painful and has been slowing down development considerably. The first registrations will go towards getting a dual G5 -- so we can deliver TextMate 1.1 even faster! Sincerely yours, Allan Odgaard & David Heinemeier Hansson
