Autocompletion (e. g. of labels or of references) has become so slow for me that I now insert labels and references by hand again. And autocompletion was one of the killer TextMate features for me. That's not a good sign, and I hope that optimizing the new autocompletion implementation will get priority. Because if people tend to rely on the feature less, it doesn't matter that in principle, the reimplementation of autocompletion is more powerful than the TextMate 1 incarnation. I'd rather have a less powerful, but faster and more reliably feature than one that is aggravatingly slow. Max

latex templates

by Ross Ahmed

I’m trying to save a latex template. I a .tex file, I pressed temp+TAB which gave the following message: "You need to create the directory /Users/rossahmed/Library/Application Support/LaTeX/Temp|ate/ ﬁrst and populate it with your favorite LaTeX template ﬁles before using this command”. I followed the instructions in the message, but if I press temp+TAB again, I just get the same message. How can I get templates to load? Thanks Ross

Inserting lines with the RETURN key.

by Curt Sellmer

When editing a C file, when I type `{` Textmate will add a matching `}`. If I then press RETURN I get two new lines where the `}` is on the second and the cursor is correctly indented on the line in between. I have been working on a Scala bundle, and when I do the same in Scala, I only get one inserted line with the cursor sitting just before the `}`. Is there some setting that I am missing to get this behavior?

TM2 is slower compared to TM1 in some areas

by Jacob Carlborg

I have two examples where TM2 is slower compared to TM1. 1. I think this has been mentioned before but TM2 takes significant longer time to syntax highlight large files compared to TM1. An example is this file from the D standard library: https://raw.github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/master/std/datetime.d It might be a bit extreme, it's around 34 000 lines of code. If I open that file and then jump to the end of the file. It takes TM1 around 5 seconds until the code has syntax highlighting. In TM2 it takes around 15 seconds. 2. TM2 is also slower on auto completion for some files. Here is one example: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt-mac/blob/master/dwt/widgets/Display… If I put the cursor at line 2111 at, type "o" and press escape to do auto completion. In TM1 I immediately get a result. In TM2 I get a result after around 3 seconds. Is there anything that can be done to increase the performance in these two areas? -- /Jacob Carlborg

how to disable bundle

by matt＠tidbits.com

Just getting my feet wet with TextMate 2 and already I've got a question. What's the purpose of the checkboxes next to the names of bundles if they don't actually disable the bundle? For example, I still see Apache and AppleScript in the Bundles and Gear menus even though I have unchecked Apache and AppleScript in the preferences. Similarly, I've tried unchecking in the Bundle editor and that doesn't help either. Is there a correct way to eliminate unused bundles? Thx - m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html

how to get TextMate environment variables from rakefile?

by matt＠tidbits.com

I am running a rakefile directly from Ruby, in order to run some tests. The tests work fine when run individually from inside TextMate 2, but some of them break when run thru the rakefile directly from Ruby. The reason is that those tests use the TM_SUPPORT_PATH environment variable. That variable doesn't exist when we are running the rakefile directly from Ruby. Is there a way my rakefile script can ask TextMate for the value of its TM_SUPPORT_PATH even though it is not running inside TextMate? I can solve the problem by just hard-coding the answer into my rakefile, but that is not a portable solution. (Indeed, the issue arose in the first place because I *was* hard-coding the answer into my rakefile, using TextMate 1; but in TextMate 2, the value of TM_SUPPORT_PATH has changed. That's why I'd like a way to ask TextMate directly "what's your TM_SUPPORT_PATH?")

unable to save file

by Lewy

Using TM2 release 9497 When I attempt to save a file (demo.php) TM2 reports that it is Unable to save file. Check console for details. When I look in Console, I didn't find an entry from this date from Textmate. Where, specifically, should I look for what is happening? The file itself can be replaced, but it would be nice to understand what's happening. Can anyone explain? --Lewy

Re: asciidoc bundle

I've been writing more or less continuously using the asciidoc TextMate bundle since May 2010, so that's 3-and-a-half years, during which I've produced and edited thousands of pages: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781449397296 http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023562.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029717.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032465.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920031017.do Here's one of those books in HTML form: http://www.apeth.com/iOSBook/ Behind the scenes, all of that is TextMate and the AsciiDoc bundle, as I explain here: http://www.apeth.net/matt/iosbooktoolchain.html I also gave a talk on this workflow at OSCON 2012 in Portland, OR. One of the nice things about TextMate is that you can modify a bundle easily. I've changed some regexes and added some snippets and keyboard shortcuts to the original AsciiDoc bundle, and I've added a couple of commands (I like to render into my browser, plus it makes a difference whether we're rendering a chapter or a book as a whole). But in general I would have to say that I have been far, far, *far* more nimble and productive with these tools than I would have been in any other way. Indeed, this experience has made me a firm believer in pure text and light markup; I never want to go back to a WYSIWYG editor, not even Frame. I do not understand the part of your question that draws a distinction between TextMate 1 and TextMate 2. The bundle was written for TextMate 1, obviously, but TextMate 2 doesn't break it or anything. I don't see how the bundle would be made to differ significantly for TextMate 2, or what difference TextMate 2 would have to its features. Yes, this bundle is crusty and not terribly well written, but the point is to use TextMate as a nimble writing tool for producing DocBook output, and this bundle lets me do that just fine, as my experience proves beyond the slightest doubt. Feel free to contact me directly via email if you want to talk about my modifications to the bundle, but I assure you they are very minor. I am not a sophisticated bundle writer, and I have no time to play with the bundle if I don't have to; I'm too busy using it to get real work done. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Programming iOS 7! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920031017.do iOS 7 Fundamentals! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032465.do RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com

TextMate freezes when lines are super long

by Yi Lin

For my work I often diff dumps of databases, and sometimes those files have super long lines without newline character; for example, an insert statement for millions of record all on a single line. When I open such a file, TextMate generally freezes. It would be nice if TM can handle working with such file efficiently, or at least warn me before trying to open such a file.

Bundle snippets scope selector -- excluding scope?

by Harald Lapp

hi, i wonder if it's possible to "exclude" scopes using the "scope selector" setting for a snippet. for example: the PHP bundle defines a tab-trigger for "array" that expands to $... = array ... thats fine as long as i am really in the scope "source.php". but when i am writing documentation (phpdoc -- which is in fact "source.php", too) it's really annoying when the 'array' keyword and such get's expanded. i wonder what's the best solution to solve this ... would i have to define a scope "phpdoc" and overwrite the tab-triggers in there or is there any other solution? thanks in advance, harald

suggestion

by Yvon Thoraval

suppose i want to report a variable state in NodeJS and/or JavaScript, for example: console.log("myvar['"+property+"'] = "+myvar[property]); because I'm a lazy guy, i want only to enter "myvar[property]", apart from console.log. at start, i would enter : console.log(myvar[property]); then copy/paste "myvar[property]" : console.log(myvar[property]myvar[property]); adding " = +": console.log(myvar[property] = myvar[property]); then surrounding "myvar[property] = " by '"': console.log("myvar[property] = "+myvar[property]); i want to see the property value in the "left" hand side, then i sourround "property" by '"': console.log("myvar["property"] = "+myvar[property]); here is my suggestion, could it be possible by selecting "property" to add two "+" signs on each side of "property" in order to make it : console.log("myvar["+property+"] = "+myvar[property]); could that last step be implemanted in TextMate ? -- Yvon(a)48.871651804,2.384858688

"Find in open files" not available + Associate file type

by Rasmus Malver

Hi all, When trying to search a folder of .nib-files, I ran into a few problems. The files are nicely displayed in TextMate, but I cannot search the contents of the files. Whilst trying to work around it, I ran into two problems: 1. *Find > In > Open Files not available* I opened the lot to use Find > In > Open Files, but this option is unavailable. Screenshot below. I tried opening .txt-files, and I tried creating new files, but it remains unavailable. Is this function available to anybody? 2. *Add file-type to TextMate* To facilitate the opening of said files in Finder's context menu (open with), and to encourage TextMate to search their contents, I tried to associate them with TextMate. I failed. First I tried to add them via TextMate.app\Contents\Info.plist. This invalidated TextMate's code signing, and thus broke its connection with /Keychain Access/. Nor did it have the desired effect. Thus I reverted my actions, and tried to associate the file type via the bundle editor. I added "nib" to the Property List bundle, old style language grammar file types, reset the launch services database regarding TextMate and killed Finder. /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -f /Applications/TextMate.app/;killall Finder; No luck. TextMate still does not appear in "open with", and TextMate still refuses to search their contents. Does anyone have a tip on how to achieve this? By the way, to search the .nib-files, I renamed them to .txt, and chose Find in Folder. That worked. But it's a long way round. Thanks, Rasmus Malver TextMate Find in Open Files not available

adding a file icon

by Yvon Thoraval

Recently, I've added the Dart.tmbundle to TextMate 2. It works OK however I'd like adding a "Dart_file.icns" in order to get the right icon. I've added some lines in the Info.plist of TextMate 2, the Icon file into the Resources directory but nothing change. Then, what is the correct way to add a file icon into TextMate 2 ? Also, using applescript, i've found the identifier for *.dart files, it is part of archive file one terminating by -dart, strange... Before any trick the file icon was of a dmg one... -- Yvon(a)48.871651804,2.384858688

Language definition problem

by Gerd Knops

Hi, I am experimenting with embedding properties in Objective-C implementations that will be parsed out and placed into a header file, and that also include documentation. They are supposed to look like this: /*@property BOOL testProperty; Sample Property # Discussion This is documentation in Markdown syntax */ My custom Objective-C language definition includes this pattern: { name = 'meta.property.objc.embedded'; begin = '^(/\*)(?=\@property)'; end = '\*/'; beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'meta.comment.embedded-property.start'; }; }; endCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'meta.comment.embedded-property.end'; }; }; contentName = 'meta.scope.property.objc.embedded'; patterns = ( { name = 'meta.scope.property.def.objc.embedded'; begin = '(?=\@property)'; end = ';\s*\n?'; patterns = ( { include = 'source.objc#interface_innards'; } ); }, { name = 'meta.scope.property.doc.objc.embedded'; begin = '^'; end = '$\n'; // patterns = ( { include = 'text.html.markdown'; } ); }, ); }, That works fine, the /* and */ have the proper start/end scope, the documentation part has the doc scope etc. But as soon as I enabled the uncommented line that is supposed to highlight the embedded documentation with markdown, markdown gobbles up the end markers. Shouldn't the outer pattern prevent this? And if not, how can I make this work? Thanks Gerd

Annoying bug, restoring window from zoom after relaunching TM2

Then in many cases, you don't need to create a per-»project« .tm_properties file. The .tm_properties files in nested directories apply in addition to defaults. For instance, you probably want to use different include/exclude rules in the directory where you're writing code for a numerical simulation than in the directory where you write the article in LaTeX with the associated findings. Allen made a conscious design decision to abandon project files and base the idea of projects just on filesystem hierarchy. In some ways, that makes TextMate 2 more powerful than TextMate 1.x, but other things (especially working with scattered files) has become more complicated because a folder is a »single project«. Personally, I haven't found a good way to recreate my TextMate 1.x workflow in TextMate 2 (symlinks don't mesh well with my LaTeX code and my git repositories). You probably have to adapt the way you organize your work. I have created a sensible master .tm_properties file and since I essentially only work with TeX-related files, shell scripts and markdown files, I don't really need to change them. Instead of symlinking, I just copy files and keep them in sync by hand if need be. Max
