Maximum number of [viewable] columns - 6371

by Chris J Keen

I am working with some abnormally large quoted strings in JavaScript (SVG Paths with 3 decimal place precision). When I reach a certain number of characters, an ASCII character unknown to me displays, and I can not reach the end of the line via normal means (Command + right arrow). If I scroll backwards from the following line, I get a column count in the 6000 range (it seems to vary depending on were I pasted the string from). I can not see the end of the string to edit it. I am using the default JavaScript bundle, but I have also tried the YUI bundle, as my company are avid YUI fans, but the YUI JS bundle has the same issue. When I view the JavaScript file in Firefox, I can see all the text, so TextMate is not losing it. It appears that the app is just unable to display the data for some reason.

Re: Textmate froze, and emptied out my file...

by Phillip Salfity

First of all, thanks in advance for any help. This is an urgent issue- I had been working on a CSS file all day, I saved it hundreds of times throughout the day, everything was peachy, then all of a sudden text mate froze up and when I re-opened textmate my file is now completely empty. I really need this file back tonight as it is due tomorrow! Any help finding it would be awesome. Thanks!

Python Bundles

by Phil

Hi! I am considering TextMate for my Python development, comparing it to Emacs/Vim, WingIDE, and Eclipse/PyDev and such. Using the official Python bundle I seem to only get completion on commands, not lookup of methods on the object at the cursor. I think I got this working in the Ropy bundle (Ctrl+p for completion), both rope and ropeide is installed in Python. But I can't seem to get definitions of methods and functions by pressing Ctrl+] (Ropy) and using F3 and ^H (Python Bundle), I get only module and function defs, not methods. (Maybe getting method defs easily popping up isn't vital, but as a Python n00b, I find it very convenient.) So, which bundles is recommended by you Python&TextMate 1337 guys? :) Right now I find myself switching back and forth between Emacs and TextMate. TextMate is slick and .. cute, but I get completion and defs of methods and everything in Emacs ... (WingIDE is nice, but expensive.) -- Phil

Re: Column Selections

by Brandon M Fryslie

Select Line bound to ^L (selectHardLine), and Select Nothing bound to ESC (moveRightAndModifySelection, moveLeft). I don't remember for sure, but I might have had to edit the *.tmMacro files by hand to get exactly the behavior I wanted. Cmd + Shift + L is by default select line so you don't necessarily need to make a new macro. Also ESC is completion so I probably wouldn't rebind it. I had to edit the plist files to change the macros too, I'm interested if anyone knows a better way. Brandon

How do I vary the C indentation?

by Berk Geveci

Hi folks, I work on several open-source projects (VTK, ParaView, CMake...) that follow a somewhat unusual indentation style. Instead of if (foo) { bar(); } bar(); they require if (foo) { bar; } bar() Getting the first curly indent right was trivial but I can't figure out how to reduce the indentation _after_ the closing curly. When the pattern matches decreaseIndentPattern, the current line's indentation is reduced. What I need is for the following line to be unindented. Is there any way to do this? Thanks, -berk

Allen, please take pity on my beloved poodle Jericho and her IBS. I think even a short update with maybe a thumbs up / thumbs down about how it's going would quell her digestive issues and get her appetite back. She's been coding and utilizing TextMate so much she can't get the thought of all those juicy new feature out of her mind. She barely even finishes both of her chili dogs anymore. Heartbreaking. Although I'm starting to think he has his spam filter set to exclude 'textmate 2' and 'tm2' automatically.... ;) OK I've got a question, is there any way I can temporarily disable or toggle auto-pairing of quotes (& etc) with a hot key? Sometimes I just want a single quote (etc) somewhere and it can get annoying to delete the paired character each time. Also, is TmCodeBrowser 1.11 the latest in "Show Classes, Functions, etc in a Tree Panel" technology we have right now? I would like something that shows more information (variables in functions, entire struct definitions), and can show/hide info without the mouse hovering over it (hate the mouse). If not I'll take a crack at patching up TmCodeBrowser into a 'good enough' solution until TextMate 2 arrives to make us muscular without exercise, gives our cars an extra 5 mpg (or kpl as it may be) in the city, and stops Jericho from ruining all my fancy Ikea rugs.

Re: Honest assessment of TM2's state please!

by Brandon M Fryslie

> Why are you looking for an alternative to something that does what you want in the first place? I think the point is that there are some issues with TM1. Like you said, there really isn't any alternative, but that shouldn't stop us from having a frank discussion about TextMate's (very few) shortcomings. I'm pretty sure everyone here absolutely adores TextMate, especially after seeing the spurt of activity here in the past few days. Since we are some of TextMate's largest fans, I think this is a somewhat appropriate place to discuss the future of TextMate (if not TextMate proper, then the bundle systems which can theoretically fill whatever gaps we need given enough elbow grease). Since there are only a few short messages from Allen himself over the past year, we can only discuss alternatives and what we would like to see updated/fixed, and wait for news. Given another year, maybe a competitor will be to an advanced enough stage that with some work it could become usable. One possible alternative could be E-TextEditor (http://www.e-texteditor.com/). The only problem is that it is Windows only...but I've used it and it seems to have very good support for all TextMate bundles (it uses Cygwin). That could be a possibility lacking any further news on the future of the real TextMate. Cheers Brandon

Re: Honest assessment of TM2's state please!

by Jon Marshall

As Apple product users, we all love and pay for two things. High quality and shiny new beautiful products. Our choice in hardware shows we all appreciate quality and beauty and are willing to pay for it. We all love TM because it's so fun to use and the reason we want a new, slightly different and better version is the same reason we all can't wait to buy Lion. We all want TM2 and that's fine. I imagine all the hardcore, 'use TM1 till the bitter end' types are old school UNIX hackers that could still break out vim or emacs and knock off a script if they had too, and that's just fine too (pretty cool actually). Another point worth making is, this situation is really strange. This can't be normal. But it is entertaining, so who cares right? There is an army of loyal TM users just waiting to shell out cash. So we must ask, why would there be such a delay and no response, with so many loyal customer? Companies and products and software disappear and stops being developed when customers stop supporting and that is the only reason. That is the only logical reason. Why doesn't the creator sell or license it somehow? There are so many ways to make money with a good idea or product and the kinds of people who invest in these things would be all over a product with this much support. So who knows whats happening. But after this long, who cares? I went back to bbedit, for most uses and still use TM sometimes. Theme junkies can get their fix with this tool. It's great. http://daringfireball.net/2006/10/bbcolors_1-0 and also, try 'bbedit --maketags' from the command line for extremely cool built in ctags support. Keep using TM or don't. Peace to all

TM modifies/destroys the contents of the system-wide pasteboard

by Mel Brands

Hi all, I've come across another serious TM bug :( It appears that TM modifies the contents of the pasteboard without the user doing the ⌘+c. If you copy a piece of rich text (or text with image data) and you just switch to TM so its window is frontmost and active, TM will go ahead and just strip all rich edit out of text and leave you with just plain text representation. You can verify this if you use any of the pasteboard history viewers. Or say you copy a large number of cells out of Numbers and you inadvertently ⌘-tab to TM, TM will freeze while it's messing up your pasteboard data. Anyway, modifying system-wide pasteboard without any user input is really bad form. Will this ever be fixed or is MacVim the only solution for now? Mel

I really, really apologize to you guys for misquoting you. I must have grabbed the name from the messages above or below. I think I'll just stick to technical answers from now on. :) Regarding the bug, I am running TM 1.5.10 1623 on OS X 10.6.6 (MB Alum) and can completely confirm that the bug doesn't exist as it has been described*, at least on my system. Possibly you are running a different build? * I can copy rich text and interact with TM all I want and the pasteboard retains 100% of the richness (styling). Brandon

If someone reports a bug, you don't need to say anything unless you can confirm it or say it isn't currently affecting you. "This bug doesn't bother me much, so keep quiet" is not an acceptable answer, and if you post some advice please be ready to follow it yourself. That being said, I can confirm that I am not experiencing the clipboard bug. I can copy rich text from TextEdit and paste it into TextMate, then paste the still-rich text anywhere else I like. Therefore I'd say that TextMate is NOT screwing up the clipboard so it must be something else. Cheers!

How to save find/replace patterns?

by Martin Wilhelm Leidig

Hi, another thing: in Alpha one can save and edit any find/replace (F/R) pattern for later use. I’m using this feature heavily because I’m frequently editing TeX documents converted from Word format where one often has very similar F/R tasks such as formatting citations, references, or bibliographical material. At the same time one cannot do this using some external script because there’s still a wide variance of constructs depending on how the Word author worked. That all boiling down to: is there a way to save, edit, and reload F/R patterns? Thanks for all hints! … with regards from Ladenburg: -MWL- -- Martin Wilhelm Leidig, Nadlerstr. 6, D-68526 Ladenburg, Germany Professional TeXing, TeXnical counselling, and TeX hacking Dante e.V.

Re: Honest assessment of TM2's state please!

by Max Lein

Some people have mentioned valid technical problems (stale bundle development, lack of split screen, lack of speed when working with LaTeX, better version control tools support (in my case git), etc.), but I think the business aspect is even more important. Having read the various opinions on the matter, I'm surprised at the faction that defends Allan's admittedly bad TextMate 2 information policy. Although he has never committed to specific release dates, on several occasions Allan's comments made it appear as if at least an alpha release was within reach. Allan's apparent ansatz (whether intended or not) to simply stop talking altogether, however, is not a solution, it makes matters worse. At the very least, it has had a detrimental impact on bundle development -- and I wouldn't be surprised if prospective customers would be turned off by a homepage that still has `Why TextMate 2 won't be supported on Tiger' in its FAQ -- when people are three, soon four OS X iterations ahead. Why should we (as TextMate 1 users) care? Well, if this policy has an impact on business, it may endanger the future of TextMate as a whole. So yes, I think it's good that we ask every once in a while what's going on and what the status of TM2 is. Allan should regularly provide updates (not daily or weekly, but every month or two at least). If he does not have the man power necessary to make TextMate 2 into a product, he could ask the community to help out.

Spelling checker

by Stefan Hennig

Hi TextMaters, I'm using TextMate for a long time. However, I have to write texts in different languages (mostly English and German) and therefore, I set in the "Spelling and Grammar" dialog the option "Automatic by Language". TextMate, however, does not manage that properly. It recognizes initially only the English orthography. In order to also recognizing german spelling, I have to set this explicitly in the stated dialog. Thereafter, if I switch back to "Automatic by Language", all is fine. Does anyone notice that behavior, too? I appreciate any remarks... Thanks and cheers, Stefan

> Curiosity or there's something you can't do with TM1? Improved completions (complete from project, etc), not crashing when editing remote files (e.g. when using MacFusion), project-wide commands (Validate Syntax for project, Transliterate to ASCII for project, etc), split pane editing, more intuitive way to edit bundles & language grammars directly in textmate (using "Edit in TextMate..." is a bit hacky), Javascript & other improvements in the web preview (such as refresh on save and instant CSS preview), improved code formatting/reindent, multiline regex engine, among others. However those are only things I *know* I want. I'm actually more excited by all the features I don't know I need yet. :) Anything that makes TextMate more TextMate-y (such as more powerful snippets, commands, and grammars) is fine by me. Thanks Allan and sorry for flooding your list with useless messages...it's just that our curiosity and excitement are constantly peaking and it just takes one errant comment to get us all aflutter. :) Brandon

Re: Honest assessment of TM2's state please!

by Brandon M Fryslie

Alan does not owe anybody anything. If you are unhappy with TM1 use another application - end of story. No, he does not but since it has been almost 2 years since his last update on the subject (which I've read 10x) he could drop a line with a little update. What I'm concerned about is bundle development. I feel like the bundles are going to take a while to populate the new version, so even after it drops it's going to take time before it is really as useful as 1x. Further more, without any information on bundle backward compatibility (my gut says 'no', at least without modification) does it make sense to invest a lot of time and resources on developing new bundles for 1x? If 2x is gone for good, yes. If 2x is a year or two away, yes. But without knowing, I find it hard to devote the time from my busy schedule. I know Allan says he isn't really concerned with things like that, and I tend to agree that they aren't his problems to worry about if he doesn't want to. However, a lot of people do a lot of 'real work' with TextMate and a little information would go a long way towards helping everyone prepare for the future. As always, Allan, please keep up the good work. I know the feeling of wanting to perfect a project, and at the end of the day this is your project and you can do with it what you like. Good luck with everything, I'm sure you're having a blast developing it. :) Thanks for everything, Brandon

How to compile and run a java project

by Rodrigo Ruiz

Hi, I currently use Eclipse to run my java projects, but since I'll start learning new languages (Ruby on rails), I wanted to try a more general editor. Is it possible to compile and run a simple "Hello world" in java with TextMate? Without using terminal of course.

Run a makefile on save?

by Jeff Pickhardt

Hi, Is there a good way tell Textmate to automatically run a makefile for a project upon save? Or a tutorial for setting this up? I am having trouble finding one. Thanks, Jeff

Re: How to execute all lines before the cursor position?

by Marius Hofert

Dear Steve, Dear Hans-Jörg, many thanks for your fast replies, I did the following: (1) As before, I considered a copy of "R Console (R.app) -> Send Document / Selection to R.app" which I called "Send all before cursor to R.app" (2) I put in the following line in the beginning [I realized that I want to execute lines (up to and) including the current one] instead of rawText="`cat`": rawText="`head -$(($TM_LINE_NUMBER))`" (3) I then executed the command via "Bundles -> R Console (R.app) -> Send all before cursor to R.app" and it worked. (4) of course it would be good to have this as a shortcut. As Hans-Jörg pointed out, my previous choice triggered another command. So I followed Hans-Jörg's suggestion and saw that "apple-key + E" and "apple-key + T" both not trigger other commands. So they are possible choices. However, when I chose either one as key equivalent, the simply did nothing/were ignored by textmate. What am I doing wrong? [I used precisely the same settings as in "Send Document / Selection to R.app", just changed the key equivalent. Hmmm... Do you know what's going on? Cheers, Marius
