TM 2: closing last file in project view, creating new file questions

by Wells Oliver

Hey guys, two big things in TM2 that kinda drive me nuts and have me think of re-installing TM1.5, and I'd like to see if I can fix them: When having a directory opened as a project (my default way of working), closing the last open file closes TM. In 1.5, TM stayed opened (the project view) with an empty editing pane. You could then click on a file to open it.. There was an option in TM1.5 when clicking on a folder to "Create new file", and I sorely miss this. Any way to bring it back? Thanks for any tips. -- Wells Oliver wellsoliver(a)gmail.com

[TM1 & TM2] running "mate dir" on same (already open) folder twice

by Adam Strzelecki

TextMate seems to be smart enough to figure out that some file is already open in certain project, so calling "mate file" on already open file just brings existing TM window to front, also when file isn't open, but lays within some project window, it does bring this window to the font and opens the file inside it. But.... when we try to "mate dir" where dir is already open in TM, it opens new window (copy) again! Can we please change this behavior? I often end up with multiple copies of the same dir/project, which often leads to unwanted modifications and real mess. Cheers, -- Adam Strzelecki | nanoant.com | twitter.com/nanoant

Check spelling in TextMate

by Guido Governatori

Suddenly spell checking (check as you type) stopped working. Also check spelling behaves in a strange way. I have inserted a misspelt word, I have clicked on it, and corrected it. Then I run Spelling -> Show spelling and grammar. In the dialog I see the word I have already corrected. I am on TextMate 9147 All the best Guido

(solved) LaTeX sync with Skim broken in Mountain Lion

by Piero D'Ancona

Mountain Lion introduces a small bug in the synchronization with Skim. I post here a temporary workaround for those who might be interested and future reference. Inside Skim>Contents>SharedSupport there is a small bash script, displayline, which uses osascript to pass some info to Skim. Apparently, Mountain Lion changed the way variables can be passed to an AppleScript, so the following patch should be applied: lines 42,43,44 of displayline are -e "set theLine to $line as integer" \ -e "set theFile to POSIX file \"$file\"" \ -e "set theSource to POSIX file \"$source\"" \ and they should be modified as follows: -e "set theLine to ${line} as integer" \ -e "set theFile to POSIX file \"${file}\"" \ -e "set theSource to POSIX file \"${source}\"" \ (just add curly brackets in three places). With this modification the command Typeset in LaTeX should work again. This workaround was suggested by Christiaan Hofman. Enjoy Piero

Using the layout engine to wrap comments nicely

by Timothy Bates

Hi All There's a great new blog entry from James Gray on the TM2 Layout engine http://blog.macromates.com/2012/the-layout-engine/ In TM2, comments in source code are set to wrap, even on no-wrap lines. But the defaul wrapping is to stay to the right of the comment start. This leads to lines like the one I append below :-) You can fix this to your pleasure, and learn about Style settings. Goal: Set comments to wrap, not under their start column, but, say, with a 20-char indent from the left margin of the code in the line [12:43pm] timbates:Infininight: you are the master of assumed knowledge: Which match, where? [12:43pm] Infininight:that one consists of two parts: a match and a format string The match string counts out the characters you want to wrap to. In the default case, all the way out to the comment char and any spaces immediately afer: match = '.*(##?)\s+'; Then the format just blanks all the non-white-space characters format= '${0/\S/ /g}'; The wrapping for source lines is in the Source bundle, under settings. There are settings for all the difference comment characters... Pity this isn't munged into one, but anyhow... All I had to do was set match match='^ *.{5}'; This now wraps the long comments to a left margin equal to the indent of the line plus 5 more characters Here's an example http://pastie.textmate.org/private/uyfbafdeaepyxn5o2otpw Here's an example of what I wanted to fix long source linelong source linelong source linelong source line # thin comm ent that is very hard to read :-) Happy TM-2 ing!

Textmate 2: control-Y doesn't yank

by Nathaniel Tagg

I've googled this and found no help. I'm using Textmate 2, and since I installed it I get this behavior: control-K correctly kills (cuts text from the cursor until the end of the line) but control-Y does not correctly yank that text back. Instead, I always get the string "TODO" as the yanked text. I've pulled up the bundle editor, but I can find no bundle that is overriding the control-Y key. (Nor the control-K key). Any suggestions how to get the original behavior? ---Nathaniel

Error saving across AFP - "atomic save: invalid argument"

Hi. At work we have AFP-mounted shared folders. I can open files in TM2 on these no problem, but when attempting to save I get: The document "XXXX" could not be saved. Atomic save: Invalid argument No console messages that I can see. I'm using Version 2.0 (9090) on OS 10.7.4 Any ideas? Thanks very much, Alastair.

[TM2] Really bad performance

by Matthias

Not sure how often the performance issue has come up yet, can't find much about it in the archives except a mention that the file browser might make trouble. So please excuse me if this has already been discussed and I just missed it. TM2 really is slow. I get heavy CPU spikes on various occasions; switching tabs, bringing focus to the application, saving etc. This gets really bad and it takes seconds to perform actions. At times it eats 100%+ CPU for minutes and is hardly responding. Also, memory usage/management isn't that great. The amount of memory used constantly climbs, closing stuff doesn't help. (Working with a few files leaves me with 500 MB memory used, even after closing all editor windows). It's almost impossible to work with it. I know, this is alpha and stuff, but I'd really like to put TM2 to the test and just can't. I've used it at work for some time now but had to stop because it severely slowed me down. (Who tests this in their free time? ;-)) Is this just me? I see nobody else complaining. I constantly get this behaviour and if there's anything I can do to help debug or profile, let me know. – Matthias

[TM1] Fold status of document

by Justin Catterall

TM1 used to remember the fold status of my documents. I'd close a document leaving most of it folded away apart from the sub I was working on, then it would be easy to pick up from where I left off when I re-opened the document. It doesn't seem to remember the fold status any more. Anyone else seen this behaviour? It's not critical, it just bugs me every time I open a document I folded neatly away. -- Justin C, by the sea.

[TM2] Find in files has wrong line numbers

by Curt Sellmer

This seems to have been introduced in build 9147. I do a "find in files" (⌘⇧F). It seems to find all occurrences but the line numbers shown are incorrect so when I click on one of the matches it opens the file but positions the cursor in the wrong place. I'm running OSX 10.7.4. Curt

Current state of the art in stripping trailing whitespace automatically on save?

by John Yeates

I've (once again) got fed up with saving things only to find that git is rejecting the commit due to trailing whitespace, and have had another look at automatically stripping it. I've tried the bundle at https://github.com/bomberstudios/Strip-Whitespace-On-Save.tmbundle, which hasn't been working for me for ages, and the solution at http://reinteractive.net/posts/4-stripping-whitespace-out-of-textmate-2, which saves the file with the whitespace unstripped and *then* strips the whitespace (and unhelpfully moves the cursor to the end of the document, too). None of them results in me achieving my goal of a file on disk which doesn't have trailing whitespace, and a buffer in TextMate which shows as saved. Is there some solution I'm missing? (The ideal would be for whitespace stripping to be built in, not just as a manually-executed command in the Source bundle, but something in the app preferences that could also be turned on/off in .tm_properties — that would mean every TM2 user cloning a no-trailing-whitespace-allowed repo would get a .tm_properties file that causes it to do the Right Thing for that project, regardless of how the user has their preferences set up. Allan, is there any chance of this in a future build?) Thanks -- John Yeates

File browser, font size and scrolling

by Matthias

Is there a way to set the font size for the file browser? I have it set to 11 in Finder and would like to have it like hat in the file browser as well. And when deep in a folder structure it becomes hard to navigate as the file browser just "compresses" file and folder names. Things get cool names like "e…p" (ext_localconf.php) or simply just disappear. I know I can work against this by making the file browser wider but when it already occupies half of your screen it gets amusing. – Matthias

[TM2] Dragging *.textClipping to TM2 -> lost of line breaks

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, only a minor issue. If I select a text chunk containing line breaks and drag&drop that selection to my Desktop I will get a file *.textClipping. Fine. Now I drag&drop that *.textClipping file to TM2 (9147) the content will be inserted BUT each line break is lost, i.e. they are replaced by grey shaded <CR>'s. Cheers, --Hans

Some .tm_properties settings being ignored

Interactive input when using Cmd-R

by Phil

Reading this: http://blog.macromates.com/2009/interactive-input/ Did the steps: > cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ > svn export http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Support/lib/tm_interactive_input.dylib@11735 When I press ⌘R on a simple python script using: variable = raw_input() ... it still fails like this: EOF Error: 'EOF when reading a line' Making a simple Ruby program, I got similar error: TypeError: can't convert nil into String The comments to the blog post seems to stray somewhat from the topic, so I couldn't figure out if there was something I was supposed to do differently ... -- Phil :)

Finding & Installing Bundles

by Phil Molyneux

Could someone point me to the current instructions on finding and installing bundles on TextMate 1 please? I have a copy on GetBundles installed under ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles (dated 6 Dec 2008) but that seems to (mainly) no longer work: for example, an attempt to install a JavaScript bundle (by textmate) gets an error saying ``Could not install "JavaScript" from "https://github.com/textmate/javascript.tmbundle/tarball/master"'', same thing happens for other bundles. If I attempt to update GetBundles via GetBundles, I get an error dialogue saying ``It seems that the bundle "GetBundles" has been already installed under versioning control (svn) Please update that bundle manually or remove/rename it and use "GetBundles" to install'' --- the help (question mark) button on GetBundles I suspect I'm suffering from installing TextMate on multiple machines ``decay'' and need to rediscover the correct way of doing things. I suspect I installed GetBundles with the following commands in terminal mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles cd !$ svn co http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Review/Bundles/GetBundles.tmbundle/ osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles' (these were from https://gist.github.com/2722805 and http://solutions.treypiepmeier.com/2009/02/25/installing-getbundles-on-a-fr…) I have TextMate version 1.5.11 (1633) installed on Mac OS X 10.7.4 Phil Molyneux

TextMate 2 and rvm

by John Yeates

Given the following ruby script: #!/usr/bin/env ruby puts RUBY_VERSION …and that I'm setting TM_RUBY = "/Users/myname/.rvm/bin/ruby-1.9.3-p0@primes" in the .tm_properties for the project, hitting Cmd-R in the script window shows 1.8.7. Running it from the command-line shows the expected 1.9.3. Does anybody know what's going on here? It would be lovely to be able to use TM2 with different projects using rvm, and have everything Just Work :) [Ideally, TM2 should detect that rvm is being used and get the ruby and gemset from the project's .rvmrc, if supplied, or from rvm's defaults otherwise. Even better if the following sequence 'rvm use 1.8.7 --default; rvm use 1.9.3; mate foo' would pick up 1.9.3 from the shell's env rather than using the default.] -- John Yeates
