Okay, I'll try that. BTW, I'd like to thank you and compliment you for the clarity of your instructions (to someone else, earlier) on how to get the 'End' and 'Home' keys to work as in the non-OSX world. Since I much prefer the keyboard to the mouse, these instructions were a treat. I notice, tho, that there are still some apps that disregard that, such as in Firefox and Thunderbird. I suppose their structure is too different to notice the key mapping. - Dushan

For beautiful technical documents, including equations, plots, etc., I do use a full latex program - it would never occur to me to use a text editor for that.

Font setting problems

by John Yates

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TM. But I have one recurring problem that is starting to irritate me. 9 out of 10 times when I start Textmate, I get some (unknown) font that I don't want. Changing the font setting in preferences has NO effect. Anti-aliasing on/off seems to work, but changing the font does nothing. But then 1 out of 10 times when I start it, TM uses my font setting and I'm a happy camper and afraid to ever close TM. I've not spent a lot of time messing around trying to figure out the problem...I'm also new to Mac and feel like a fish out of water doing anything. So I thought I'd ask if anyone knows what is going on...and how I can get TM to use my font choice all the time. Thanks, John

What I _really_ want in TM2

by Kenneth McDonald

Well, there are a few obvious points that (most) everyone wants, better performance on networked files for example. There are (approximately) five such Really Obvious(tm) requests (hey, I won't say what they are--after all, they're Really Obvious(tm), right?), and even for those that don't affect me personally, it's pretty obvious they need to be taken care of. Past that, what _I'd_ like (yes, I'm unique, and possibly completely out of touch with the rest of the universe :-) ) is--simplicity. I'd like Alan to concentrate a significant part of his design and programming prowess on making TM not more powerful, but more obvious. My canonical example of this is the whole keybindings issue. Currently, dealing with keybindings in TM involves searching through bundles, using the Keyboard and Mouse Preferences Panel, and using a keybinding utility such as KBE. This is just too much info for my little head. I'd like it all in one place, and if not in one place, at least simpler. My belief is that TM is currently at a level where (for me) concentrating on increasing uniformity and simplicity would in real terms _add_ features to the application, because I suspect that there is a lot of power I'm not using because I don't have the time to consider the special cases or esoteric knowledge needed to use already existing features. So my real request for TM2 is--don't worry too much about new stuff. Concentrate on making TM easier to use (keybindings as described above; optional help strings for bundle items and a streamlined bundle editor; UI improvements; etc.), and I'll still feel my money is well spent. (This may have something to do with age. At 43, the days when I both had the time and the desire to learn about cool "new" features, keybindings, etc, are long gone. In the last five years, the only truly worthwhile UI innovation I've come across are: The technique that Quicksilver and Launchbar use for identifying commands/files, and that TM uses when moving between files, i.e. type in a not-necessarily-contiguous substring of a name to identify a command/file/whatever; And tab-completion in TM. And the second could easily be subsumed in the first.) Just my $0.02, Ken

Edit in TM URL associations not working

by Graham Ashton

I may just be being a berk here, but I don't seem to be able to get the URL associations to play ball. I'm editing text in three different wikis, each with a different format. My config looks like this: { URLAssociations = { 'mail.google.com/' = 'mail'; 'macromates.com/blog/' = 'markdown'; 'blacktree.cocoaforge.com/forums/' = 'bbcode'; 'trac.' = 'trac'; 'wiki.' = 'twiki'; 'doe.caribou.lan' = 'markdown'; }; } Whenever I edit the contents of a textarea in TM it's opened into a file named title-of-page.safari. I consequently need to manually switch the syntax highlighting. Is there something wrong with my config? I've restarted TM and Safari, to no effect. Do I need to prod something else to get the input manager to take notice of changes to the plist file? I'm using the Safari beta (3.0.2). On a related note, can you use regular expressions in the URLAssociations setup, or do you have to specify an exact match? Cheers, Graham

LaTeX getting started?

by Thomas Aylott (subtleGradient)

Howdy. Since TextMate seems to be like 80% LaTeX users. I feel a burning need to use latex. Can one of you LaTeX gurus condescend to learn me what's up? Maybe a few links to how to get started with latex and latex in textmate specifically. Do you have to be a nerd to be able to use it? thomas Aylott — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg — sixteenColors

Some refinement to the Smarty bundle

by Brian Landau

I don't know how many people use the Smarty bundle, but I've made some major improvements. Highlighting now includes support for all assignment, arithmetic, and logical operators. It also properly colors all PHP variables, functions and constants. I also updated the snippets to take advantage of tab stops, and selected text, and includes almost all the options for each function/modifier. Finally, I updated the menu structure. Also, I patched the HTML and PHP syntax so a block like: {php} $var {/php} will get properly highlighted as PHP and not as HTML. (Don't apply these patches unless you really use Smarty, since Smarty is by default disabled in the HTML syntax and this will undo that) Any, comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome. - Brian

Latex Config and backward compatibility questions

by Brad Miller

Hi All, I'm working on an all new version of the Latex and View command. See my earlier message for you you can switch to this branch of the svn repository if you'd like to beta test. I'm hoping to commit a major new version today. I've attached a screenshot of the configuration window. Whats missing? Is the wording on the options for opening the viewer clear? Here is another big question I've been thinking about. Since all of these new configuration settings will be stored along with the standard TextMate prefereces in a preferences file, how much backward compatibility should this new version try to maintain? The current Latex and View command has grown organically over the life of TextMate and there are lots of environment variables that have been added over time, some that are semi-redundant even. TM_LATEX_PROGRAM TM_LATEX_COMPILER TM_LATEX_VIEWER TM_LATEX_ERRLVL TM_LATEX_OPTIONS All of the above can/will be replaced with the new interface, and I think we should make a break and do away with these. TM_LATEX_MASTER This one is more interesting. We currently have two ways to specify a master/root file. Using this variable, or using the TexShop %!TEX directive embedded directly in the file. The TexShop way seems clearly superior to me since it allows for more flexibility than a single environment variable per directory or project. So my proposal is that the environment variable goes away. TEX_PSTRICKS Since we can automatically detect when we should use latex instead of pdflatex this is redundant and should go away. As I mentioned above, TexShop allows authors to embed directives right in their source file that specify a master file, there are others as well. I propose that we use that same set of directives and allow the following in-file settings to take precedence over the preferences set in the preference dialog box: TS-options -- command line options passed to the latex engine TS-program -- the typesetting engine to use just for this file encoding -- how the file is encoded, I don't really know what to do with this one. Anybody? I've looked at the TexShop documentation and I think this is it, are there other %!TEX directives I'm missing? Thanks, Brad -- Brad Miller Assistant Professor, Computer Science Luther College

LaTeX-Bundle Fink-Port cite-Problems

by MarkusGMX

Hi all! Sorry for asking this - I assume this is a stupid question, but I am new to Textmate and not very familiar with the terminal. So thanks in advance for being patient and helping me: I have installed Latex via fink. The LaTeX-binaries are stored in /sw/ bin/ and I have the latest Version of Textmate and the latest Version of MacOSX Tiger. Compiling latex-documents from Textmate worked out of the box without any configuration. But there are two things, that don't work: 1.) Bibdesk (also latest Version) auto-Completion doesn't work: when pressing alt-esc within \cite{u} for example I get the following error message: "The tex binaries cannot be located!" (I don't understand this, because latex-compiling works!!) The bibdesk auto-completion works fine with Textedit for example. 2.) Same Problem when using the "Citation based on Current Word"- command from the LaTeX-Bundle. It doesn't work and I get the same error message: "The tex binaries cannot be located!" According to the manual it looks like, that I must add the /sw/bin to the path, but I am not really sure about this, since compiling tex files works. Also as mentioned above I am not familiar with the terminal and don't know how to do this. (Sorry) So whats wrong? Can anybody help me, please? Thanks a lot in advance. Best wishes Markus

Do we really need a Color/Font Picker?

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I just thought about a color picker in tm_dialog. But do we need it? Background: I simply added to TextMate's MainMenu.nib Menu the following: Format Font Show Fonts Show Colors Text Align Left Center Justify Align Right without key bindings. If I invoke 'Show Colors' in TM a color palette will be displayed, I can choose a color, and finally I can drag&drop the color which is shown in the rectangle to a document in TM, and I get e.g. #FF33DC. This should work for HTML, CSS, etc. stuff properly. The same for Show Fonts. I can drag&drop the name for instance. All items under Format>Text also work but with the limitation that all commands interact only with the current size of the document's window. [This, of course, is ONLY a side note ;)] OK. If someone needs a tm_dialog nib which asks the user, among others, to choose some colors, one could such a nib by using NSColorWell easily. I wrote a routine for tm_dialog to parse the result dictionary for NSColor objects. If there are some the routine will replace the content of these dictionary's keys with an array containing the following strings: {example for red; 'color' is the selection value in the nib} <key>color</key> <array> <string>#FF0000</string> <string>255 0 0</string> </array> Each programming language I know can use at least one of the color's representation for further calculations. It would be easy to add also the values for the HSB and CMYK models. So my question is: Is there something which I didn't consider? Regards, Hans

tm_dialog: add FileSelect + Appending Accessory Views

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I wonder if it possible 'easily' to enhance tm_dialog in a way that one can also use it as FileSelect dialog, like CocoaDialog it does, in conjunction with an user-defined nib-file to append a CustomView to the predefined NSOpenPanel. For details have a look at: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/AppFileMgmt/ Articles/ManagingAccessoryViews.html E.g.: tm_dialog -f invokes a normal cocoa-based file select dialog. tm_dialog -f myextension.nib invokes a normal cocoa-based file select dialog and appends myextension.nib as an Accessory View. tm_dialog -f -p THEPLIST to set the current dir, which files are allowed to select, multiple file select yes/no, dialog title, etc. The result is a plist containing the filename and, if an Accessory View is specified, the selections of it.

Backward delete on tab deletes only one char

by Matthias Slovig

Hi! Since yesterday, TextMate has some strange behaviour on deletes and on scrolling thru documents using the arrow keys. When I type a tab and hit backward delete, only one character is deleted, as if the soft tabs would be enabled, but I don't use soft tabs. The other issue is somehow more difficult to describe, but propably related: When I scroll thru my document using the arrow keys, my cursor does not go to the end of the line, but remains where it has been before. This has been different before. Just to give you an idea of hat I mean: if($this->db->dbh->isError($q)) { $error = new error; $error->raiseError($q,"DB_ERROR"); } Before, when my cursor was placed at the end of the 'if($this->db- >dbh->isError($q)) {'-line (in column 34) and I used arrow-down, the cursor was placed right after the semi-colon behind 'new error' (column 24). Now, it remains in column 34. I have no clue what I might have changed recently, but hopefully somebody can help, as I couldn't find anything regarding this issues in the help documents. I'm currently running TextMate 1.5.6 (1405). Matt

HTML Bundles (newbie question)

by Paul Collins

Hi all, I am a CSS, HTML, occasional PHP/Javascript developer new to Textmate and have been hunting around for a good HTML bundle. I may be looking in the wrong places, but basically, I would love to find something that gives a few of the old features from Homesite, if that is actually possible. I would love to find some kind of bundle with the following: - Code colouring similar to that of Homesite and Dreamweaver. - Auto tag completion similar to Homesite and Dreamweaver, so when you type the ending ">" of a div tag for example, it writes out the closing tag. This would be instead, or in addition to, the feature of hitting CTRL + < to close the tag. - Some kind of HTML, CSS validation, similar to the way Homesite used to do it. Can you include validation in a bundle? Tell me if I'm dreaming! Either way, it would be great if someone could point me in the right direction for finding good HTML bundles. Googling doesn't seem to get the results I want. Cheers for any help.

"Unbinding" a menu command in TextMate

by Kenneth McDonald

Recently, I needed to unbind a TextMate menu command (Text:Reformat and Justify) so that I could use ^J for my own uses. Ale Munoz (the n is suppose to have a tilde above it but I don't know how to type that on a US keyboard, sorry) was kind enough to show me how to use the Mouse and Keyboard preferences panel to rebind that menu item to something else, which solves the immediate problem. However, this still begs the question; is there a way to _unbind_ that menu item, so that it has _no_ associated key binding? This can't be done using Ale's method. Thanks, Ken

How to make TAB and SHIFT + TAB indent, un-indent?

by desmondo

I think the title explains it all. Instead of having to do APPLE + TAB, I would just like to be able to highlight text and use the TAB key on it's own to indent my text. I guess this shortcut must be listed somewhere (APPLE + TAB). In future, how can I find it so I can change it?

How to unbind ^J from "Reformat and Justify"

I'd like to use this key binding for something else, but I can't find the TextMate default binding for ^J anywhere to unbind it; not in a bundle, and not in the System's Keyboard Preferences binding list.

[XCode Bundle] BUILD_FOLDER environmental variable

by Ryan Wilcox

Hello all, It seems that the XCode bundle's Run and Build & Run commands assume that the build folder is in the same location as the (TextMate project file? XCode project file? [1]). At least in my case, the build folder is somewhere else. The attached patch lets you override the default build folder location with an optional TM_XCODE_BUILD_FOLDER environmental variable. It also explicitly prints out where the XCode bundle is trying to launch the app from, to (hopefully) point people in the direction of TM_XCODE_BUILD_FOLDER. On the topic of Xcode bundle patches, I also have one to provide a TM_XCODE_PRODUCT_NAME, for when you can't find the product name to run. I thought this just had something to do with my project's complex setup, but looking through the log of run_xcode_target.rb it seems the XCode bundle makes a few guesses which may not turn out (see log for r7057), and there's no way for the user to _force_ the issue. If TM_XCODE_PRODUCT_NAME would be useful, I'll send that in a separate email. _______________________________ [1] Or maybe the XCode bundle is reading the information from the project file? If this is the case, my project uses a series of .xcconfig files to specify settings (including TARGET_BUILD_DIR / CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR), so that's why the default doesn't work for me.... _______________________________ Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I'll try to resolve them.

Coloured diff display?

by Kevin Horton

I am trying TextMate on two machines, both PPC. One machine displays subversion diffs with colours (the default behaviour, I believe), but the other has plain old black text with white background. I am not aware of having made any selections that should have caused the difference in behaviour between the two machines. I looked in the Preferences -> Fonts and Colors on the machine with no colours in the diffs, and I see nothing that appears to be related to diffs. I moved ~/Library/Preferences/com.macromates.textmate.plist aside and started TextMate again, but the diffs are still monochrome. Where else should I look? TIA, Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada

Is it possible to simulate EMACS-style selection marks?

by Kenneth McDonald

I'd like to be able to set an explicit "selection mark", as can be done in EMACS, and then to cut or replace text in the selection range. (For non-EMACSers; the selection mark is similar to a bookmark, but indicates the 'other end' of the selection range, 'this end' being the location of the cursor. Under most GUI editors, moving the cursor deselects currently selected text, while under the mark selection style, the mark stays in place even when the cursor moves, which is great the text you need to select spans more than one page.) Looking at the relevant section of the TextMate manual didn't indicate anything obvious, does TM have any sort of support for this style of copying/cutting/pasting? Thanks, Ken

Now let's see if anyone else agrees with this... :-) Currently in the bundle editor, there's an "Activation" popup menu that has just two items, "Tab Trigger" and "Key Equivalent". Depending on which is selected, a tab trigger or shortcut key is displayed and can be edited in the adjacent text field. I think it would be clearer, faster, and probably take less space in the UI, to simply show two text fields, one with the tab trigger, and the other with the shortcut key. And I think a significant benefit to someone using a bundle is that it then becomes possible to just move through the bundle items and see the shortcuts in the process. Makes learning a bundle much faster. Many thanks, Ken

TODO bundle has hardcoded dependencies to RADAR tag

by frank waldheim

hi there, i started using the todo bundle more extensive recently and eventually took a look at the configuration possibilities. i looked around the settings.rb and found the announced preference dialog and started using it. first i ignored the RADAR tag, but later on i found myself thinking about "having something on the radar" as a future-task or something similar. so i edited the RADAR tag to match like FIXME or CHANGED. after that nothing worked, because the todo.rb expects the RADAR tag to be associated with some spooky html-stuff which is not the case for me. error as follows: /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/TODO.tmbundle/Support/todo.rb:76:in `+': cannot convert nil into String maybe one should fix that for future use. the most sophisticated way would be to provide a "MatchedTagFormatter" callback where one could provide a snippet to format matched content. in either way, thanks for a great bundle and keep up the good work. ~fw -- \|/ ____ \|/ @~/ ,. \~@ "When you are going to die, /_( \__/ )_\ a wombat is better than no company at all." \____/ [waste of money, brains and time - wombat(A2DA482A)]

A simple grammar problem

by Juan Falgueras

I am trying to experiment with grammars (they have many dark points for me), and I have make this simple grammar that does perfectly well all but the "foldingStopMarker" { scopeName = 'source.vaughan'; firstLineMatch = '^Vaughan)'; foldingStartMarker = '^\s*Libro'; foldingStopMarker = '^#$'; patterns = ( { name = 'keyword.other.english'; match = '^.+#'; }, { name = 'keyword.other.spanish'; match = '[^#]*$'; }, ); } I have tried many forms of closing the folding, yet the C {} pairs but it never works for closing in my grammar. Observe that the # is not considered any other pattern, but it does not work as stop marker in any way. -- Thanks for your help - Juan F.

Re : TODO ref

by baptiste auguie

Thanks, that worked a charm I've modified it to /\\ref\{\s*\}+(\s.*)$/i in order to get a comment as well, although it gives me the whole paragraph. Is there any way to limit the number of following words to, say, 10? Thanks, baptiste Something like /\\ref\{\s*\}/ in the Pattern section of the preferences ought to be enough. The double backslash gives a "real" backslash (it's usually used to escape other characters, such as the "\s*" to denote any amount of space between the braces above, or conversely, again as above, to indicate a *literal* brace). Having the "\s*" inside the braces means that if you accidentally leave blank space inside it'll still be flagged.

TODO bundle, add \ref{} item

by baptiste auguie

Hi, Working on a big latex project, I find the TODO bundle very useful for custom notes. Now I would like to add a TODO item which scans the project for the regular expression /\ref{}/ , that is an empty reference, and list them together with a few words of the paragraph they belong to. I just don't understand regular expressions well enough to do that! best regards, baptiste _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !

Small mateup-applescript

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi! I wrote this little Applescript to use the "mateup"-shellscript w/out opening the terminal each time. Save the script as an application bundle and just call it from QS or whatever you're using for the most easiest way to open it. It will show you what it updated as soon as it is finished and can then be "entered away" do shell script "mateup 2>&1" user name "your_user_name" password "password_of_your_user" with administrator privileges set the_output to the result get paragraphs of result choose from list (result) with empty selection allowed Niels

TrueType with embedded bitmap fonts

by Tobias Jung

Hello, probably this not even is a TextMate problem, but I want to make sure that it's not before I spend hours of research what I'm doing wrong... I know that some of you, just like me, use ProFont as editing font in TextMate (and I'm talking about the original pre-OSX version, not ProFontX). ProFont includes the font outlines as well as bitmap versions for some sizes; as far as I can see TextMate uses this bitmap versions for screen display. In the days of the classic MacOS, those bitmap versions were stored in the resource fork of the file; but nowadays it's possible to create a TrueType font with embedded bitmap fonts which are stored in the data fork. I've been using FontForge [1] to create such a font, but when using this font in TextMate, it clearly does NOT use the bitmapped version but rather the outlines which are somewhat fuzzy at small sizes. So I guess that I'm doing something wrong when I create the ttf file from FontForge, but this is what I want to make sure: Does TextMate support such "TrueType with embedded bitmap" fonts or will it always use the outline no matter what I do? Kind regards, Tobias [1] http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

Language Grammar - TM's internal markups

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, I have two questions regarding to the internal language grammar. 1) Is it possible to look for the internal markups which TM is using like "<support.function.perl>(.*?)</support.function.perl>" directly? I only know the way to use the 'magic keyword' in a tmCommand "<key>inputFormat</key><string>xml</string>" and parse the output. 2) Is there a way to modify the current language grammar dynamically? Example: { scopeName = 'text.plain'; fileTypes = ( '' ); patterns = ( { name = 'my.tag'; match = '(a)'; } ); } Then I write a command or what ever to change match = '(a)'; in match = '(b)'; If I do so I have to quit TM and restart it. A 'Reload Bundles' doesn't work. [I don't know whether it is possible to write an Applescript to control TM in that respect.] 2a) Or to use an external file which holds the actual 'match' expression for a given pattern. 2b) Or to change the current used language grammar by using a tmCommand. Many thanks in advance, Hans

Where do you save .tmproj file?

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, I wonder where the project file (.tmproj file) should be located. Do you save in the root folder of your project? Or do you save the file outside of the project? The project file remembers other files relatively, so after making the file, I'd rather not to move it. A problem I oftern encounter is svn bundle tries to add the project file, though I can exclude the file from the commit. I wonder how people work with others using TextMate. I'm very interested in your workflow with project files. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

opening a file readonly

by Harold W. Schranz

Cliff Pruitt wrote: > I'm honestly not putting down the desire for the feature, it's just > not an "expected" feature in an editor. Am I making sense? Not really ... I think a read-only mode should be a standard feature of any serious editor. Just consider past examples e.g. vi, Emacs, Edt, possibly even TECO (but my memory fails me here; digression: TECO is probably the most powerful/dangerous/sparse/delightfully cryptic text (character) editor that's ever existed; Emacs used to be written in it).

I would agree with Andy here ...

Minor PHP Scoping/Formatting Blip

by Richard Dyce

Not a biggie, but thought someone might want to know... for next time they're tinkering (Ciarán? ;-) ) with the PHP bundle. Thought I'd try fiddling with my copy of SimpleTest to put txmt style links on the test reports, just to make things a bit easier... Thought I'd just grab what i needed from the $message variable which shows up something like this: [/Library/WebServer/Documents/pcs/tests/panel_test.php line 56] Tried putting $linkRef = preg_replace( array('/^.*\[/','/\].*$/','/ line /'), array('txmt://open?url=file://','', '&line='), $message); which works as far as the links go, but throws a distinct wobbly in terms of scope within TM after that delimited open square bracket \[. If I didn't happen to be searching for the end square bracket as well, then the rest of the code would be highlighted as a pattern... Hope that's as clear as mud. R -- Richard Dyce MA (Cantab.)

Is the TextMate community faulty?

by Andy Armstrong

A couple of recent posts asking perfectly reasonable questions about TextMate (can you open documents R/O, can you split the screen) have attracted answers in the spirit of "why would you want to do that?" or "here's a command that will erase your hard drive luser". The latter a particularly stupid and frankly unexpected contribution from Thomas. I know TM has a lot of fans in the Ruby community. I wonder if we're seeing the same attitude that hangs around Ruby like a bad smell ("you can't write a DSL in any language apart from Ruby", "wow! That's just not possible in other languages") applied to TextMate. Assuming there's at least some overlap between the two groups of fanatics I'll attempt to address both at the same time: please wait until you've had experience of other languages / editors before you start condemning everthing not-Ruby or not-Textmate. Ruby and TextMate are both excellent tools; both have limitations and misfeatures as all non trivial software does. Neither will continue to improve if their fans believe them already perfect.

Converting encoding using iconv as command

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, I'm trying to use iconv to convert a Shift-JIS document to UTF-8. It's successful in Terminal, but not so in TextMate. The command I use in Terminal is: iconv -f shift-jis -t utf-8 text1.txt>text2.txt This converts the file successfully. In TextMate, I set up a command, using: iconv -f shift-jis -t utf-8 "$TM_FILEPATH" in Command(s) field. I set Save: Nothing Input: None Output: Replace Document Activation and Scope Selector are unset. After using this command, I see a diamond-like character at the end of each line. Any help would be appreciated. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

new shirt ideas/slogans

by Jacob Rus

Hello friends, TextMate desperately needs some updated T-shirts, but behind every great T shirt is a great T shirt idea. So, even if you have no artistic talent whatsoever, you can think up ideas for slogans and designs. And even slogans that don't make it onto shirts could probably be useful for something. Anyway, once some good ideas have been offered up, it will be possible to make some design mockups based on those. I'm happy to spend a bit of time sometime doing some very basic designery stuff, though I'm hardly an expert, and other more qualified designers would of course be welcome to draw up shirts too. But first let's see if as a group we can't come up with some killer slogans. Anyone who contributes an idea/slogan, or a design, which ends up being printed on the shirts gets one free (says Allan; I'm a poor student and can't afford such things ;) To start off, I was thinking it could be something along the lines of "check and mate". -Jacob Rus

Switching between bundle editor and document windows

by Mark Day

Hi, As I've watched some of Allan's screencasts, I noticed he often switches between the bundle editor and a document window in order to try out changes to snippets, commands, etc. It looks like he's using the keyboard to switch back and forth. I know I can switch between windows using Command-` , but any changes I've made in the bundle editor's text field don't seem to take effect when I switch windows. For example, I start editing a snippet. I add or remove some text in the snippet. Then press Command-` to switch to my document window. I trigger the snippet (using tab triggers in my recent experiments), but I get the old contents of the snippet, without the changes I just typed. If I click elsewhere in the bundle editor (in the list on the left, in the scope selector text field, etc.) before switching windows, then the changes I've made to the snippet take effect when I switch to my document window. I've been skimming some of the archives of this list, and I've seen it mentioned that switching windows is supposed to commit changes to the text field in the bundle editor. Which means just pressing Command-` to switch windows should be enough. Am I doing something wrong? I'm running TextMate build 1405 on Mac OS X 10.4.10 on both Intel and PowerPC machines. Thanks, -Mark
