LaTeX Bundle: Error with new Preferences

Typeset & View branch merged back to the mainline

by Brad Miller

Hi Everyone, I just merged the typeset and view branch back to the mainline. Thanks to everyone who made the effort to switch over to the branch! I think there are still some good ideas that can be implemented but this is good progress for now. Please go back to using the the mainline now. I think the easy way is just to remove Latex.tmbundle and then do an svn update in your Bundles directory. If you are being selective about which bundles you check out then just checkout the Latex bundle from the mainline. Please let me know asap if you find anything wrong with this version. Thanks, Brad -- Brad Miller Assistant Professor, Computer Science Luther College

Re: textmate Digest, Vol 35, Issue 14

by Brian Huddleston

I don't know if feature requests go on the email list or not. I wanted to suggest a new "Output" option for the "Filter Through Command" action. I think adding the option "Insert to Clipboard" would be useful. I notice I run a number of *nix commands on text (awk, tr, uniq, etc) but then it would be nice to have the option where to paste it. ---- Brian H binarynomad(a)gmail.com http://www.binarynomad.com

Bundle and language help

Hi all, What is the procedure for making a new (small) new language bundle available? Add to the SVN? (need privileges, of course) Host it oneself?

TM and Latex -> Package Glossaries

by Flo

Hi, I have a few questions regarding my TM & Latex-Combination - I'm switching from TexShop, but I just like TM better. So, for using the package "glossaries" with TexShop I had to create an extra engine... containing th following commands: #!/bin/bash bfname="`basename "$1" .tex`" pdflatex "$1" bibtex "$bfname" makeindex -s "$bfname".ist -t "$bfname".glg -o "$bfname".gls "$bfname".glo makeindex -s "$bfname".ist -t "$bfname".alg -o "$bfname".acn "$bfname".acr pdflatex "$1" pdflatex "$1" Could be that this is a little often, but afterwards everything was compiled, index, acronyms, bibtex etc... How can I port this to TM? When I just select "Typeset and Preview" i.e. glossaries don't show up or don't get updated. ?? Thanks a lot flo

Dynamic snippets?

by Bob Ueland

I'm new to TextMate and thinking of using it for teaching purposes. I would like to fill out a form and have TextMate to automatically create the needed file. For instance I have a snippet called csc (short for CreateStandardClass) that looks like this Class: ${1:ClassName} SubClassOf: ${2:Object} InstanceVariables: ${3:varName1},${4:varName2} After I've entered the needed info (Rectangle, width and height) it looks like this ClassName: Rectangle SubClassOf: Object InstanceVariables: width,height After entering height and pressing tab I would like TextMate to generate the Objective-C code below. (It should be possible since all needed data is in the variables $1, $2, $3 and $4) // Rectangle.h #import <objc/Object.h> @interface Rectangle: Object { int width; int height; } -(void) setWidth:(int) w; -(void) setHeight:(int) h; -(int) width; -(int) height; @end // Rectangle.m #import "Rectangle.h" @implementation Rectangle; -(void) setWidth:(int) w { width=w; } -(void) setHeight:(int) h { height=h; } -(int) width { return width; } -(int) height { return height; } @end Is there a way to do this? Thanks Bob

Tab-stops work strangely with nested snippets?

by Cocoa Bob

I want to produce [origin [pt x]]; using a snippet called msg (short for message) that looks like this [${1:Receiver} ${2:message}] When I write msg and hit tab I am presented with [Receiver message] where Receiver is highlighted. I write origin and hit tab. Now I get [origin message] and message is highlighted. I write msg again and hit tab. To my surprise I get [origin msg] with tha caret after the last bracket . So it seems that TM is giving priority to the outer snippet??? But I think that two other alternatives might be better Alternative 1: Forget all tab stops for the first snippet when an inner snippet is activated. Another alternative is Alternative 2: When hitting tab give priority to the inner snippet first and when it is finished then give focus to the outer snippet and let it do its thing. If I am wrong in my thinking tell me why. If I am right maybe it is some programming difficulty with nested snippets that prevents the desired behavior.

POLL: Objective-C CodeSense?

by Joachim Mårtensson

A.K.A. Objective-c Annotation project, I have started to think how I can improve the objective-c code completion, adding additional context sensitive suggestions. Currently there are only context sensitive suggestions for a limited set of operations inside an Objective-C method call context. What I would like is for constructs such as: returnCode == NSOKButt[caret] to be context sensitive as well, the problem is that just looking at the type of returnCode is not going to work since it is most probably an int, of which there are hundreds in Cocoa (counting functions that return int and constants). So my thinking is that using a regexp I can gather statistics from various open-source project and make educated guesses as to what a more "detailed" type would be, thereby being able to provide better suggestions. for example: -(void)openPanelDidEnd:(NSOpenPanel*)panel returnCode:(int)returnCode contextInfo:(void*)contextInfo { if (returnCode == NSOKButton) } I would parse out the method header, the argument names + the method part they were connected to, and then do a regexp search in the body of that method that would check if any of the arguments are compared/assigned against a constant/function declared in the cocoa headers. Check if this constant/function is of a more specific type (in reality a cocoa typedef enum). if so add this method to a file of special cased code completions (and ofcourse enough information to deduce what special treatment that would be). So now to my question to you fellow TextMate using Objective-C users: Do you think this will help you in your coding or will it get in your way? Have I overlooked something that makes this not viable? Should I instead provide a special nib with a giant talking paper clip? Thanks in Advance Joachim Mårtensson

missing validation snippets in Rails

by Dougal

Is there a particular reason that there aren't any snippets in the Rails bundle for validates_acceptance, validates_each, validates_inclusion, or validates_numericality_of? I attached some, including versions with "if" for those that seemed reasonable (ie, those whose closest counterparts had if versions already in the bundle).

LaTeX Grammar and Single Quote Strings

by Mark Eli Kalderon

Small problem with the LaTeX grammar's handling of single quote strings. The following: 'tis suppos' as it occurs in: 'tis suppos'd gets scoped as invalid.illegal.string.quoted.single.latex. LaTeX, however, has no problem with such constructions. Perhaps this would be difficult to fix and the problem is, in any case, rare. (I only hit upon it writing a Hume lecture.) Just thought I would pass it on. Best, Mark

TODO Bundle

by Perrins

Hi Everyone, I am using the TODO bundle, or wish to use it, to keep track of things to do in my thesis. My Thesis project directory is off the root directory and contains many Latex files. The problem is when I use the show TODO list, the command runs properly but does not show the TODOs that are present in the project files. i.e. the read out gives 0 in the TODO/CHANGED/FIXME columns. The bundle works fine on single files found elsewhere in my system. I have the latest TODO bundle check out and the latest bundle support, running T 1.56. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong - why is it not working? Regards, Mark Perrin

[ANN] Context Sensitive HTML attribute completion

by Thomas Aylott (subtleGradient)

Context Sensitive HTML attribute completion!!! You'll have to have the latest copy of the support folder and the HTML bundle. I have tested this quite a bit on my machine, but if you can find a way to make it break, please let me know and I'll fix it right up. To use: tap the space key when your caret is just before the last character in an html tag. It looks up a list of attribute to tag associations and only shows you a list of the ones that apply to the current tag that you're in. <div TAP_SPACE_HERE> or <img TAP_SPACE_HERE /> If you type a few characters before you hit space, it'll use those characters to limit your list even further. for example: <img onTAP_SPACE_HERE /> That will limit your list of completions to anything that starts with "on" and is applicable to the <img> tag. Also, works with lowercase and UPPERCASE HTML tags. When you use uppercase tagnames it'll give you upper and titlecase attribute names, depending on what's appropriate. This version DOES NOT look at your doctype, it just gives the same list for all html languages. I think I'll wait for TM2 to do the doctype thing since it'll be a lot easier then. I'll do an official announcement with screencast and everything once people argue endlessly about the keybinding that it should use. thomas Aylott — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg — bundleForge

Manipulating $1

by Bob Ueland

I've just started to try out TextMate :). I've created a little snippet called vam (short for variable and method) that looks like this { int ${1:var}; } -(void) set${1:var}:(int) n; So when I enter vam and hit tab, I am presented with the following chunk { int var; } -(void) setvar:(int) n; where var is highlighted. If I start to type numerator the chunk changes to { int numerator; } -(void) setnumerator:(int) n; However I would like setnumerator to be outputted as setNumerator. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Bob

GetBundle questions

by Oliver Hagmann

Hey there I recently had a look at the GetBundle bundle and liked the fact, that you can have a look at the available bundles online and then select which ones to install. I also like the growl notification (why doesn't it use my default bezel?). I'm currently updating my bundles manually via svn from http:// macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk and always install all bundles including the support folder, plugins, etc. It takes up some space on my HD but that way I'm sure, all the bundles work properly. I install them in my "/Library/Application\ Support/Textmate/" folder. If I remember correctly, this is the recommended place to install additional/updated bundles. The question I asked myself is, why GetBundle installs its bundles into "~/Library/Application\ Support/ Textmate/Pristine\ copy/Bundles"? -- It would be nice, if there was some kind of setting or shell variable, where you could set where to install the bundles (for all users or just the current one). The way it's handled now, the bundles available via svn and the ones I install manually via download and double-click get mixed up in the same folder (Pristine copy). Also I don't now how the updating of the Support or PlugIn folders gets handled via GetBundle. I'm reading a lot about conflicts between wrong versions of the dialog plugin and bundles which depend on the newest version of the plugin on this list. Maybe someone can shed some light on these things? Maybe a help file for this bundle wouldn't be wrong also, since it's targeted to users which aren't familiar with svn and how this whole bundle thing works. Thanks in advance! Oliver

language grammar suggestion: auto-numbering captures

by Timothy Bates

It seems there is no way to have parts of a capture scoped by calls to $self or #repository elements, which means that complex captures get to have many capture elements. It would be handy if there was a code for language grammar capture numbering, so that these are more resilient and self-healing when the regexp underlying their definition changes. What I would suggest for TM2 is something like a code for "next group" so instead of explicitly numbering all matches, only non- sequential elements are explicitly numbered, and all others are self numbering. A nice code would be "#". A nice twist would be if this supported skipping elements when suffixed with an addition "#++" or "# +n" Then, if we change a match from, say: match = '(a)(b)(c)'; To say: match = '(a)(a1)(b)(c)'; Then the numbering, instead of manually being recoded from this: 1 = { name = 'a'; }; 2 = { name = 'b'; }; 3 = { name = 'c'; }; to this: 1 = { name = 'a'; }; 2 = { name = 'a1'; }; 3 = { name = 'b'; }; 4 = { name = 'c'; }; Could simply stay as this (where # is a code for "next sequential number" 1 = { name = 'a'; }; # = { name = 'a1'; }; # = { name = 'b'; }; # = { name = 'c'; }; In the more complex case, 1 = { name = 'a'; }; # = { name = 'a1'; }; #+1 = { name = 'b'; }; //skips a group # = { name = 'c'; };

some tools: show duplicate lines, sort table by column

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I often use the following commands. Maybe there are other users who do find them useful too. ### Show duplicate Lines Show duplicate Lines (ign. leading spaces&tabs) Bound to F5 Both commands (more or less a one-liner in bash ;) display as a tool tip only those lines which occurs at least twice in the document sorted. ### Sort Table by Column Sort Table by Column numerically Bound to F5 It is often the case that I have to sort tables (delimiter TAB) by a specific column in a document alphanumerically or numerically. If your document contains only a table you can place the caret in that column which should be the key for sorting. If you select a portion of a table it will ask you for the column as inline menu.

Some Beginner Queries

by Liehann Loots

Hi, I'm new to TextMate and have been struggling with a few things. I'm having trouble finding answers on Google etc. and was hoping someone in the forum could help. 1. How to insert a new line above the caret position and move to the start of the new line (in the correct indentation level). Something like Shift-O in vim. 2. How to move to the start of the text on a line. So something like Ctrl-A then Ctrl-LeftArrow 3. I also have a question regarding TextMate's auto-indentation model. Say I have the following ruby snippet: def foo puts 'hello world' <caret> end Note the caret is not indented correctly. If I press enter the next line also starts against the margin. Is there a way to have TextMate always put the caret in the correct indentation position when starting a new line? Correct being whatever TextMate thinks is the correct position. Regards, Liehann

PHP getter/setter generator

by Steve Lianoglou

Hey all, I've been doing some php code lately and got a bit tired of writing getters/setters. I didn't find a command to generate them for me, so I whipped one up. I'm putting it here in case someone finds it useful. The idea is to highlight the lines in your class file where you define the class's instance vars. You then just have to fire this command and it'll create generic getters/setters for the vars found in the selection (can do multiple per line). If no lines are select, it will try to create getters/setters for the vars in the current line. It might be handier if it dumped the code into the clipboard, or something, but it will just drop the code right below the current selection. If that sounds handy, you can create a command like so: ================== Save: NOTHING Input: SELECTED TEXT or LINE Output: INSERT AS TEXT Scope Selector: source.php Command(s): ----------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import os,re,sys template = """ public function get:CALL:() { \treturn $this->:VAR:; } public function set:CALL:($:VAR:) { \t$this->:VAR: = $:VAR:; } """ regex = re.compile(r'\$(\w+)') try: text = os.environ['TM_SELECTED_TEXT'] except KeyError: text = os.environ['TM_CURRENT_LINE'] for line in text.split('\n'): for var in regex.findall(line): code = template.replace(':VAR:', var) code = code.replace(':CALL:', var[0].upper() + var[1:]) sys.stdout.write(code) ===================== Bind to your favorite key combo and voila. -steve

tm_dialog: call a other tm_dialog from tm_dialog without closing the first

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I use tm_dialog dozens of times to simplify matters, and to save time ;) But sometimes I would need a bit more (like the accessory views ;) ): I wonder if it would be possible to write a nib which contains a button, e.g. 'Browse', and if I press this button it opens an other nib (or in that case a file select dialog). The returned value from the called nib (file select) will set a value in the first nib? An other approach: Press a button in tm_dialog. In tm_dialog there is a buttonListener. If that button is set to invoke a shell script then do it. This shell script (an other tm_dialog or what ever) could write something to a file and its content could update my actual tm_dialog. Would this be too complicated or even impossible to implement? Up to now I did such things like PLIST1 = "..." PLIST2 = "..." pressedButton = Browse while pressedButton == Browse pressedButton = $DIALOG -p PLIST1 a_nib if pressedButton == Browse PLIST2 = $DIALOG -p PLIST2 a_other_nib PLIST1 = modify with values of PLIST2 end while Application examples could be: - a Browse button to open a separate File Select Dialog - a Edit button to edit preferences for the tm_dialog - a Install button to install stuff which is missing without leaving tm_dialog - a Refresh button to refresh values in the tm_dialog Or is there an other way to do something like that? Do I carry things too far? ;) Cheers, Hans

How to mark up variable length parameter lists?

God Day all, What advice do people have for marking up a language grammar containing statements with a variable (and potentially lengthy) list of parameters, which are themselves morphologically complex? I saw here <http://macromates.com/blog/2005/language-grammars/>, the idea of using $self to re-parse the detected fragment using the whole language grammar { name = "markup.bold.html"; begin = "<b>"; end = "</b>"; patterns = ( // really means ³contains² { include = "$self"; } ); } And also the idea of using a repository of named rules to direct the second level of parsing. Are there bundles that use that and upon which which I could base my work ? The statements I want to match are of the form latentVar BY var var var var...; This should be parsed into <variable.latent> <keyword.BY> <variable.dv>... The tricky bit is that each variable has its own syntax and can appear n one of three forms name // <variable.name> name@n // <variable.name><keyword.at> <numeric.value> name*n // <variable.name><keyword.start> <numeric.value> So that each variable gets matched like this: \s+(\w+)(((a)|\*)([-\.\d]+))?\s+ A test case might be e1 BY item1@1 item2 item3*0.51; It is obviously pretty redundant and unmaintainable to make a big list like that in a single rule, and ultimately not possible as the variable list might exceed the rule's length. Suggestions gratefully received. Tim

key binding blues

by Darren Hardy

hi TextMate'rs, i have the key binding blues. i'm an old vi guy and i still cannot deal with the mouse when writing. so, i want to be able to use TextMate *without* using the mouse. moreover, i want to be able to use all the keys on the *home row* of my query keyboard (e.g., a-s-d- f-g-h-j-k-l-;). my question is how do i ensure that my keybindings override everything? for example, TextMate uses ^h in lots of different bundles and i have to hand-edit a dozen different bundles to change ^h to something else. (i thought control- functions were reserved for user stuff?). right now, i'm using KeyBindings.dict in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate, like so: { /* vi-like navigation */ "^f" = "pageDown:"; "^b" = "pageUp:"; "^w" = "moveWordRight:"; "^h" = "moveLeft:"; "^j" = "moveDown:"; "^k" = "moveUp:"; "^l" = "moveRight:"; "^e" = "scrollLineDown:"; "^y" = "scrollLineUp:"; } also, is there anyplace that has the definitive documentation for what the keybindings are? (TextMate's 'Show Keyboard Shortcuts' isn't showing my changes). i'm mostly interested in text navigation and basic word processing functions. i can't believe that i'm nostalgic for WordPerfect circa 1990 when everything clearly defined via function keys and you could by a reference card for it :). neverthelesss, TextMate has more promise than anything i've seen in years. finally, are there example key binding configurations for TextMate that are emacs-like or bash-like or vi-like? thanks in advance, -darren

Re: [TxMt] [XCode Bundle] BUILD_FOLDER environmental variable

by Ryan Wilcox

On 8/4/07, at 12:00 PM, textmate-request(a)lists.macromates.com said: >>> In your case, you have the build dir in the .xconfig file? >>> Ideally we would extend our code to also look there. >> OTOH, would that make a good fall back when we can't find the >> executable even in $PROJECT_DIR/build ? > >Probably not ideal [to get the Executable Path via an AppleScript], >since it would start up Xcode (if not already running), and would >require Xcode to have the current project loaded. Personally I do >not have Xcode running most of the time. Ok. Then would configuration based environmental variables be useful for the Xcode bundle? You tell the XCode project you're building Debug configuration (and/or X target) and TM will use Debug environmental variables instead of Release ones... or environmental variables specific to that target. (This would also solve my problem in a round-about way: I could specify a TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_DEBUG and TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_RELEASE and, since I specified that I'm building Debug, TM would use TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_DEBUG to find and launch the app) Later, _Ryan Wilcox -- Wilcox Development Solutions: <http://www.wilcoxd.com> Toolsmiths for the Internet Age PGP: 0x2F4E9C31

Project drawer preference setting?

by Jay Bibby

I have a very simple question: where is the setting with which I can choose the side the project drawer appears on? I have a collection of project windows I keep open every time I open TextMate, and the project drawers are all on the left. However, I just created a new project and the drawer is on the right and I cannot see any setting in preferences that controls this, nor can I just drag the drawer where I want it. I can hide the drawer, move the window all the way over to the right and then show the drawer and it pops out of the left where I want it. But come on! There must be a better way?! Either it's right there in front of me and I'm not seeing it, or it's unusual interface shortcoming for such a nice product. Thank you for your help, Jay

Markdown Bundle bug: list syntax

by Ale Muñoz

Hi there, there seems to be a bug/glitch on the Markdown Bundle. The command to insert a new list item (currently bound to ↩) wrongly assumes unordered list items always begin with "*" If I have a list like this: - foo - bar<caret> pressing 'return' produces this: *- foo - bar * <caret> which is quite not right :) I've been taking a look at the code for the command, but it's a little bit over my head :) Michael, could you please take a look at it? Thanks in advance... -- Ale Muñoz http://sofanaranja.com http://bomberstudios.com

Performance problem with LaTeX Documents

by AndreasZeitler

Hi, A few days ago i realized i have a performance problem with LaTeX documents within TextMate. I've tested it with HTML and some other languages a few minutes ago. It seems that only LaTeX has some problems. When i type a letter on my keyboard it takes about half a second until the letter gets displayed in the document. I think you could realize how annoying this is especially when you have to write some very long text. What is wrong here? Do i have something running...all the time...which costs so much time to calculate? Thanks for any help. (or questions...)

Bundle commands cause textmate to hang, then erases selection

by James Fishwick

Good Morning, When executing certain commands Textmate hangs for a few moments, then simply erases the selected text instead of executing said command. Two examples would be "Wrap each selected line in open close/ tag" in the HTML bundle, and "Tidy" in the XML bundle. These commands have worked fine in the past year of using textmate. Recently I had a hard-drive failure and had to copy all of my preferences from back-up - this is the only thing I can think of which would have effected textamate's behavior. Any ideas? Thanks, James Fishwick Charlottesville, VA

Ideally we >would extend our code to also look there. Yes, my build dir is stored in the .xcconfig. Parsing those is no easy matter: you can have environmental variables in there, #include other .xcconfigs... The annoying thing is that the path is in the project's executable setting: writing the following AppleScript shows the proper path tell application "Xcode" tell project 1 set a to active executable a's path end tell end tell BUT the executable I don't think changes when configurations are switched (right?) OTOH, would that make a good fall back when we can't find the executable even in $PROJECT_DIR/build ?

Nested Snippet Evaluation

by Alain O'Dea

TextMate [r1405#17788] I'm not sure if this is an issue specific to the Erlang bundle. I want to write the following: -import (lists, [map/2, sum/1]). I want to write it using snippets as follows and have my cursor appear after ending dot: imp<TAB>lists<TAB>map<TAB>2<^,>sum<TAB>1<TAB> However the result of this is: -import (lists, [map/2, sum/1 <CURSOR>]). Basically I expect surrounding snippets to remain in something like a stack so that their tab stops are honored prior to the tab key being accepted as a tab character. Is this supported in TextMate?
