(TM2) Excluding directories from searches with "excludeDirectories"?

by Tyson Tate

In TextMate 2 I'd like to exclude the contents of a number of folders from my project-wide searches. I'm using the following in my project's ".tm_properties" file: excludeDirectories = "{$excludeDirectories,log,vendor,tmp}" However, it doesn't seem to be excluding files from those directories in my project-wide searches. What am I missing? -Tyson

How "Find" results are displayed

by Jerry

In the Find results window, after e.g. a Find in Project search, I really miss (in TM 1.5 too) not having a panel within the same results window that shows the relevant section of code when any results line is selected. In normal use, I have one or more other windows open, and for a reason--I'm looking at them or soon will be. I find it a nuisance that clicking on a Find results hijacks the project window just to show me the relevant code. Frequently, I need to have both that window and the search result visible at once. I can see that this could be a personal preference, so it would be wonderful to have this as a user pref. Also, I don't find it useful to display a results line twice when the search process has found two matches in the same line. It is adequate (even less confusing, less clutter) to display the results line once, but bold-facing the multiple matches in that single line. Jerry

TextMate 2 - recording information

by Nigel Metheringham

I've not looked at TM2 yet, however there is a ton of Q & As hitting the list currently and I suspect lots of wheels are going to be re-invented, tips re-discovered etc... Any chance of starting a wiki or similar for TM2 so that this stuff can be recorded there and found without needing to sift through the archives of a suddenly very high volume list... [One way to start one up quickly is to make a blank github project and add a wiki to that...] Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham ------------------------------ nigel(a)dotdot.it ] [ Ellipsis Intangible Technologies ]

TM2 LaTeX BibDeskTMCompletions

by Gildas Hamel

I have a question re Citation (Ref-TeX Style) completion or BibDesk. The completion doesn't occur in TM2, while it continues to work fine in TM1, without having to open BibDesk, via the BibDeskTMCompletions script which I put in a ~/bin folder. Any suggestion as to why it doesn't work in TM 2 alpha? Is it because tooltips might not be working yet, or do I need to point the LaTeX bundle towards my bib files (and how?)? Any hint greatly appreciated by this non-coder. N.B. Two "likes". I very much appreciate TM2's highly configurable browser window from which I can start TeXShop on whatever file I want to work on, with latexmk giving me automated processing. And the input of Greek, Hebrew, etc. is working beautifully. No need for other editors for that purpose now. --Gildas

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 43, Issue 38

by Brandon M Fryslie

> > Not in the Bundles directory, but I do sync my TexMate directory with > Dropbox. ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate is a symlink to > ~/Dropbox/Library/Application Support/TextMate Well, that explains why Avain never picked up any of my TM bundles (although I didn't symlink TextMate, only the subdirs, to avoid syncing the .pid file). I actually prefer it though since I've collected quite a few useless and outdated bundles over the years and this gives me a fresh start. This might be something to mention somewhere since it's probably a pretty common practice and not something I had considered might be causing an issue. Brandon

[TM2] pristine bundle location

by Scott J. Kramer

Hi, In followup to this posting: TextMate Blog » Locating Bundles http://blog.macromates.com/2011/locating-bundles/ Please consider changing (or removing) the "Copy" part in the folder name component of this pathname so it's not confused with Finder's Duplicate suffix: ~/Library/Application Support/Avian/Pristine Copy/Bundles/ Something like "Pristine Versions" or "Pristine Copies" or simply "Pristine" (my choice) would be preferable. Thanks, -sjk

TM2: Bundles Not Loading

by divThis

I have been testing the TextMate 2 Alpha the past couple of days and have had issues with bundles being loaded. I can install the bundles via the app preferences, but the bundles are not loaded. As per Michael's recent blog post (http://blog.macromates.com/2011/locating-bundles/), all bundles should be installed to ~/Library/Application Support/Avian/Bundles. Instead, they are installed to ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles and are not loaded. Moving bundles to the ~/Library/Application Support/Avian/Bundles alleviates the problem with the bundles being loaded, but I don't believe updates will work correctly at this point. Is this intended behavior for alpha or is there something else going on? I am running 10.7.2. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/TM2%3A-Bundles-Not-Loading-tp32982201p32982201.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[TM2] Japanese-support not correctly working

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi, it is great that finally Japanese is shown correctly in TextMate but the input has some problems and differs from the rest of the system. When I enter only one character like 私 (watashi), I type "watashi", hit space, select the character and hit enter. The final result is 私 and the cursor is set after the character. In TM2 the enter will delete the character, as if it is selected and do a line break. When I enter a whole sentence, I press space when I am ready and the system will do some auto-conversion. Then I will get to to the first sentence-element and can press space to change the conversion to something different (loads of homonymes in Japanese). With cursor left and right I can go through the text elements and narrow the selection what a certain text element is with shift+left or widen it with shift+right. I end conversion-mode with pressing enter, when everything is in the state as I want it. When I press left or right in TM2 the conversion-mode ends and the cursor goes to the right but conversion-mode should only end after pressing enter (and only an extra enter should create the line-break).

Which 'semantic class' to use for opening tm_proj?

by Brandon M Fryslie

Hi, I'm going to give a whack at transforming a .tm_proj file into 'Favorites' and .tm_project files upon opening them (or if they exist navigate there). Couple of questions: This seems like an event thing. However, in the Avian bundle, all the similar commands define themselves as a callback in the semantic class field, rather than specifying an event. I'm not understanding the reasoning behind this, since it seems to blur the distinction between 'events' and 'classes'. Is there any way to determine whether we should be targeting an event or adding a class of 'callback'? Which semantic class (or other options) do I need to use to target only opening tm_proj files by extension? Thanks! Brandon

TM2: Soft Tabs and selection

by Giordano Scuderi

Hello all, we encountered two main issues using TM2 alpha: - First of all, I'm unable to globally set TM2 to use soft tabs, "Edit -> Mode -> Soft Tabs (Use spaces instead of tabs)" menu is not selectable, I also tried exporting TM_SOFT_TABS = yes as in TM1 but it doesn't work. - Trying to select text going down out of page to select more than one page text, produce a strange behavior, sometimes it goes at crazy speed (happened with python code), other times I see some video corruption: blue selection band persist after deselection, blue selection band seems interrupted inside selection (happened with C source code). Moreover, Ctags bundle really need some improvements, for example I can't go backward as in vim, multiple tags selection window is uncomfortable, Help menu command doesn't work, there is no way to specify more than one tags file, and so on... Another thing, is that there is no way to know who use some function, I can go to the function definition but if I want to know who use that I can't. Thanks you very much for this alpha, rmate command make me very happy. Giordano

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 43, Issue 35

by Brandon M Fryslie

>Clearly, its a mistake to delete TM1. In my Console app, I can see Avain pulling bundles and other things from App Support/TextMate as well as App Support/Avain, so I'd say it isn't quite ready to stand on it's own yet. In my opinion this makes debugging things way more difficult right now, but I'm guessing unless it is an outright bug there is a good reason for it. I think ideally TextMate and Avian shouldn't touch each other's files, but I can't really judge considering I write primarily dynamic scripting languages, the slow pitch softball of programming.

how to view tab-separated files

by Martin Batholdy

Hi, I work with a lot of tab-separated files. Now most of the times when I open a tab-separated file, the lines are unfortunately not properly aligned. I get something like: xx xxxxx xxxx xxxxx Is there a way to align this in textmate, so that I get a clean "table-like" view (without adding tabs of course)? thanks for any help!

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 43, Issue 34

by Brandon M Fryslie

> > to let you know that some TextMate users rely on projects and don't want > to see it be cut I believe that's been established a few times. Something I just thought of: maybe a quick workaround would be to cause opening a .tm_proj in TextMate to take the file browser to the Project Directory (or the first one at least). Since a lot of my projects ARE just one directory, that would definitely alleviate my current problem of all my project data being contained in a lot of proprietary tm_proj files that only work with one program. ;) Maybe a good way for someone to test out the open file event handlers? Seems doable within the current system depending on the scriptability of the file browser. Brandon

TM 2 alpha, LaTeX, latexmk and biblatex

by Gildas Hamel

I've been trying TM2-alpha while continuing to work (mostly XeLaTeX-ing) with TM1. I have encountered two TM2/LaTeX issues relating to biblatex and latexmk which I've been using without problem with TM 1.x for at least a year now. 1. in my preferences/Variables, I set PATH as in TM1 and set BIBINPUTS (to) /Users/myname/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib where I keep my bib files. But when I try to complete a citation with Citation (Ref-TeX Style) by using ^{ , the completion doesn't occur in TM2, while it does in TM1. I tried to put BIBINPUTS = "/Users/gweltaz/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib" and that didn't help either. Is some other language needed? 2. this is regarding the LaTeX bundle: I loaded the latest latexmk.pl (Dec 2011) and slightly edited texMate.py in LaTeX.tmbundle/Support/bin bibtex to biber in a few places. This works fine with TM1, i.e., the biber engine is found, and latexmk does its thing, but nothing happens in TM2/LaTeX.tmbundle. Suggestions? [note: I normally use TM1 + TeXShop for automatic typesetting via (xe)latexmk, will gladly continue, but wonder how this can be accomplished in TM without having to set up and use TeXShop] With much appreciation for TM1 + TM2. --Gildas Hamel

SOLVED Re: TextMate 2 can't find "pre" in Lilypond bundle

by Charles Turner

Here's a solution: . "${TM_SUPPORT_PATH}/lib/bash_init.sh" "$TM_LILYPOND" "$TM_FILENAME" 2>&1 | pre 1) In TM2, bash_init.sh needs to be loaded? 2) In TM2, stdout and stderr are differentiated? (Lilypond writes to stderr, so combining it before the pipe to pre works. Wasn't needed, apparently, on TM1.5) If anyone has better information or fix, please share. Thanks! Charles

I don't understand that comment: I reckon you mean to say that TextMate's philosophy is to rely solely on the filesystem? > When you use the file system for your project then SCM works fine because it is told that “this folder is a project”, TextMate commands work fine with the project, because they have a single root project folder, backing up the project works fine because tar can be told about a single project folder, etc. Still, me and many others prefer to use a different method to organizing work. And not every workflow can be like yours. After all, I do use the »filesystem view« for some things because that is easier when you add a lot of files on a regular basis. Furthermore, as said before, many apps are moving away from merely »viewing files« (and this is encouraged by Apple!), including professional apps (such as Aperture) and apps aimed at developers. Gitbox, for instance, is a nice example: there you browse repositories and commits. Integrating some of that into TextMate would make a lot of sense to me. (Or at least keep the TextMate flexible enough so that someone else can program something like that as a bundle.) Lastly, the focus on the file system would also make it harder for you to implement access to some of Apple's future technologies (e. g. Versions; while I use git professionally, I wouldn't mind having versions when writing letters and such, stuff where git is overkill). So I think you exclude TextMate from a lot of innovation if you don't allow a project view that is independent from the file system. > Anyway, I think enough have been said about projects. My initial letter may have come off too strong: I was listing what can be used now in the “project context”, I was not saying everything is frozen and nothing will change: I'm not so sure whether you got it across the wrong way, everything you have written reinforces my impression that Projects (the way we have them in TextMate 1.5) will be axed as a feature and that you dislike working with them. (I remember posts of yours to this effect on this mailing in the past.) It's quite natural that people who like Projects would object. > But definitely I am of the opinion that one should work with the file system because that is the “portable” way to represent a project. I think this view of this aspect is a bit outdated and narrow-minded: Portability can mean a lot of things, but in my experience the problems rarely lie with transferring files. Quite the contrary, that's typically the easiest part (I use Dropbox to collaborate with others). In my case it's mostly making sure LaTeX code compiles on my coworker's machines. Which usually means they have to install additional packages or alter the code a little. Max

Too much TM2?

by Justin Catterall

It seems that many many people have jumped on the TM2 alpha. The consequence of this is that there has been a rush of TM2 questions, some of which ignore Allan's request not to post general feedback, some of which would be answered if the poster would read the message on textmate-dev Allan linked in a post yesterday, some of which would be answered in the blog or release notes. I don't think I've seen a question yet that, bearing in mind this is *alpha* software, is sensible to post or meets the criteria of being what the devs want to know about. Would the powers that be consider a new mailing list? "TM2 testers" (or similar) so that the "TM users" list can concentrate on issues, or queries users have with only the current release of TM. This would naturally migrate once TM2 is released to the world. I'm not going to upgrade to alpha software, I'll also avoid early beta releases too, as I'm sure many others, like myself, who do not have time to deal with the inevitable problems of using such 'new', software will do. Allan and the dev team have my full support, and I'll be glad to test release candidates when they say it's almost ready for public consumption. But in the mean time, this list is going to become, at best distracting, at worst very difficult to use for those trying to get help with TM1 issues if so many posts are related to an unreleased version. -- Justin C, by the sea.

TextMate 2 Opinions / Question about tm_properties files outside ~ directory

by Brandon M Fryslie

Wow, just wow. Lots of awesome stuff going on. Every corner is packed with new, exciting features. A couple of ideas: I agree with keeping the file browser window (or formerly-known-as-project window) open after the last tab is closed. I keep frustrating myself by accidentally closing it, then I have to hit command+n, then rebrowse to my folder. Here's my suggestions for improving this behavior: - Allow command+t to work without a window open. The list could be populated with the files under File->Open Recent. - Open the file browser to the last folder I was using, rather than home. If anyone knows how to navigate the file browser / favorites using only the keyboard, I would be eternally grateful for that information. ### I'm also having some issues with the .tm_properties files. They only seem to be working intermittently for excluding files/directories from my project. Sometimes the files will disappear as soon as I save my edits, somes times not. Sometimes they will come back later. I am not under my home directory (I'm in /Library/WebServer/Documents/...) which I have a hunch might be causing the problems. Anyone experienced anything similar or have any info on that? ### About Projects: I can understand not reintroducing projects if a few other features are stepped up. One small feature I find improves the experience quite a bit is when you open a project, it restores the tab state and puts you in the file you left off in. If that could be replicated with the existing features (on a per folder or per favorite basis) I think it would go a long way towards reducing the desire to return to .tm_proj files.

[TM2] How to close file and keep file browser open?

by Nicolai Dalsgaard

Is it possible to only keep the file browser open when closing files? If I close the last open file it automatic close the window with the file browser. Also I would love to see an option to keep the Tab-bar visible even if I only have one file open in file browser view.

Duplicate bundle items in select dialog in TM2

Tab bar ideas

by Jerry

I've never much cared for the way TM populates the tab bar by creating a tab for every open folder. After only a few windows are open (over any interval of time, even days or weeks), the available space is used up and one must click on the "overflow" menu to see more tabs which partially reduces the effectiveness of the tab concept. It's even worse when a tab that you want has disappeared into the the menu. I am constantly closing many tabs at once just to clean up. Also, the Command-1, Command-2 is really great, but once a window appears in another-numbered tab, suddenly you have to re-learn the new key combination. Maybe a better organizer is a kind of favorites bar that can be populated manually (but keeping the Command-N concept) while keeping a file history list as a separate entity. In my view, merging the tab concept with a file history, which is pretty much the present situation, is awkward. Lastly, it would be cool to be able to drag a window's proxy icon (I think that's the right name) to the project window's tab bar to cause that window to close but to then be accessible by a tab. (Merge All Windows is usually too aggressive.) OK too would be just a menu command, Merge Front Window, but this would assume that the program knows where in the tab bar to make the new tab, but it won't know, necessitating a separate drag operation within the tab bar.

New User Find/Replace question

by Linda Miller, DVM

I am a new user (purchased yesterday) of TextMate. In the past, I used a great program on Windows called Advanced Find and Replace. It allowed me to search through multiple files within a folder (I see that I can do that by a project in TextMate too). But, what I cannot figure out is if it will allow me to replace things like: 1. Ignoring white space in HTML so that it will find all text to replace even if it is on a separate line and with tabs. Example: <p>This is a paragraph</p> vs. <p> This is a paragraph </p> If it cannot search and find both of these then it is not quite as powerful as I had hoped. 2. Advanced Find and Replace also could find text *between* two strings and either replace it or delete it. For instance, if I wanted to search through this: I want to replace the word that is between these question marks in multiple documents. ?Delete Me? and ?Delete Me Too? You would end up with: I want to replace the word that is between these question marks in multiple documents. ?? and ?? Sorry, not a great example :-( but it gets the point across. This function though could allow you to delete all tables in an HTML document without actually knowing what was in the table....or many other uses. It can delete text before a string or after a string too. Can TextMate perform these more complicated Search/Replace functions? If not, I still love the app but does anyone know of a comparable app that is similar to Advanced Find and Replace on the Mac since this program is not available for the Mac OSX? Thank you, Linda
