Insert as Snippet indentation weirdness

by Fred B

Hi, I noticed some weird indentation problem when using "Insert as Snippet" as the output for a command. I reduced it to a simple test case (at least I hope): Make a command with Output: "Insert as Snippet" Command: echo -n "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" Example text: ✂------✂------✂------✂------ - list1 [tab]- indented list2 paragraph 1 paragraph 2 ✂------✂------✂------✂------ If I select the text somewhere in the first line to the end and run the command, nothing changes, which is good. If I select the text somewhere after the tab in the second line to the end I get this: ✂------✂------✂------✂------ - test list [tab]- test indented list [tab]paragraph 1 [tab]paragraph 2 ✂------✂------✂------✂------ If I use "Replace selected text" instead, this doesn't happend. So, if I understand this right: When a command inserts a snippet on a indented line, everything in the snippet is indented. Why? Just in case, I deselected "Re-indent pasted text" in the prefs, still the same. Am I missing something? Thanks -- FredB

prefix , suffix lines ala BBEdit in TextdMate?

by smarks.other

Hi, I was wondering if there's an easy to to prefix or suffix selected lines with a string. Anyone who has used BBEdit will know what I am taking about. I assume there is a way to do this, but I was hoping to avoid regular expressions other overly complex gyrations. Thanks in advance.

Open Document in Running Browsers/Refresh in Firefox

by Nathan Koch

I've found this topic a few times in the archives, but never came up with a definitive answer. I'm using Textmate for basic XHTML/CSS/JavaScript editing and while Camino and Safari happily pop right up when I choose "Open Document in Running Browser(s)" and Refresh when I pick "Refresh Running Browser(s)" but Firefox responds a bit differently. It doesn't respond at all to "Open Document in Running Browser(s)" and Refresh Running Browser(s)" just opens a new, empty, window or tab. It's a bit frustrating as Firefox is my browser of choice for working on sites, thanks of course to the Web Development plugin among others. Any advice?

New: insert Excel table as LaTeX table. (big time saver)

by Alex Mason

Hi all. I've just finished the 0.1 release of a command I've been working on tonight, based on Tom Counsell's (http://tom.counsell.org/view/ ExcelToLatexTableConvertor) excel2latex, that will take an excel table from clipboard (copy from excel. doesn't work for selected text yet.) and run by typing excel[tab] (excel⇥'). It requires that the longtable package is included, but if you're working with tables, you'll probably want that anyway. This isn't perfect, you'll probably want to change the '\begin{longtable}{c c c c c c }' to format the rows how you like, but it seems to work for me. let me know what you think. I know this saves me a lot of time, so I hope it will for you too. Cheers, Al. ☠☢✯☢☠

[Latex] file paths

by Helge Hartmann

Hello! Two Problems on the Latex bundle. I have a project structure like this: -Projectfolder projectmain.tex (master file) -- subfolder1 -- file_1_1.tex -- file_1_2.tex -- subfolder 2 -- file_2_1.tex When I now drag file file_1_2.tex into file_2_1.tex, I get \include{../subfolder1/file_1_2.tex} The problem is, that I´get an error, because the file can not be found. The file path has to be \include{subfolder1/file_1_2.tex} because it depends on the master file. But when I then invoke the command "Show outline", the file file_1_2.tex is not found, because it expects the path as the first statement. Another problem is, that latex does not typeset the files, that where included. Why does the drag command produce a include command? Helge

Different Colors for different error message severities ??? How to ???

by Greg Hauptmann

Hi, Is there a way to setup Textmate (for Ruby on Rails development) such that when I'm "tailing" the error log I will get different line colors for errors based on the severity of the error? Eg - logger.error ('xxx') => RED - logger.warning ('xxx') => ORANGE - etc Thanks in advance Greg

HOWTO: Write powerful snippets

by F. Gabriel Gosselin

Hi, I'm looking for a way to crate a simple snippet so that tab completion: //(tab) will insert CSS comments and wrap any text on the line if applicable. I've got so far as this: /* ${1:${TM_CURRENT_LINE/(^\s+)(.+;)/$2/g}} */ $2 Which when you feed something like: //(tab)some-property: some-value; Produces output: /* some-property: some-value; */ some-property: some-value; What I would like is to delete the second instance. Is there any way? Or, will I just have to settle for selecting the text and create a key equivalent snippet (which means I have one snippet for plain comment and another for wrapping...). Oh and one other question about snippets: in the sequence ${«tab stop»/«regexp»/«format»/«options»} what are the options? I stuck with g because that's what I had seen. thanks in advance, Gabriel

Command to toggle writing to deltas/writing to version-controlled bundle

by Henrik Nyh

For a bundle I'm maintaining, I wanted to be able to easily toggle between having changes written directly to the bundle (so that I can commit them) and having changes written to deltas (so that I can make local customizations that are not committed). I wrote a command for this: http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/03/24/textmate-command-to-toggle-writing-deltas/ I'm sure others have done similar things before, but I couldn't find anything, so I rolled my own, and thought I'd share. If the command does something bad or unnecessary, or if you've solved this problem in a better way, please let me (us) know.

[Latex] source colouring gets confused

by Berndt Farwer

I have lately had to use code that includes \begin{SaveVerbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\},codes={\catcode`$=3 \catcode`^=7}]{guard} $\lnot$busy(phone) \end{SaveVerbatim} The \catcode`$=3 confuses the TextMate's grammar and thus everything that follows is treated at maths in scopes and hence in colouring. Is there an easy solution without messing with the main language definition?

Blogging Bundle / Serendipity / Empty Fields

by Philip Hofstetter

Hi there, after getting nagged at my blog (http://www.gnegg.ch/archives/354- External-blogging-tools.html) to look into why TextMate's Blogging Bundle behaves strangely with Serendipity blogs, I had a look into the problem. Actually, there are two problems, but so far, I've only fixed one (it's getting late here): 1) When you have a Date:-Header in your Posting, s9y will interpret the date wrongly and will assume it to be the beginning of the epoch (1970-01-01). This is problably a flaw in s9y and I'll report it there as soon as I know what's going on. 2) The Pings- and Comments-Headers were ignored and Pings/Comments were turned off regardless of what the headers were set to. This is what I've actually looked into this evening (GMT+1 here): Basically it all comes down to the fact that parse_post (blogging.rb) is unable to cope with empty headers of which s9y produces at least one: s9y always sends an empty mt_convert_breaks-member in the post record and when no tags are defined, it'll also send an empty mt_keywords member. With an unpatched blogging.rb, this will create something like this (ignore the f*ed up date - that's caused by bug 1) above): Type: Blog Post (Markdown) Blog: s9y Post: 1 Title: First entry Date: 1970-01-01 02:00:00 +0100 Keywords: Format: Pings: On Comments: On This causes the parser to stop after the Keywords-header (lines 206/207) which will lead to the following headers to be ignored, thus turning off comments (s9y assumes Comments=off if the information isn't present in the RPC-call). Now I'm not sure if s9y's behaviour is actually legal here (please enlighten me), but I think the blogging bundle should be able to cope with empty fields. There are two possible fixes: One is to fix the fields-parser to make it stop bailing out at empty fields. I've attached bb_fixparser.diff which does that. The other way is to make post_to_document stop adding empty format and keyword fields. bb_skipempty.diff does that. I'm not sure which way is the correct way to go. fixparser has the tendency of working with even more crude blogging engines, while skipempty is what the bundle did so far (look at the handling of mt_tags for example. Anyways. Please consider merging one of the patches to make the blogging bundle work better with serendipity. Thanks Philip

folding request

by Piero D'Ancona

Hi Allan How diffiicult would it be to add an option to the folding system telling it to obey indentation exclusively? With this option, TextMate would become a very nice cataloging tool for removable media: I drag and drop the CD on a TextMate window and the tab-indented list of the content appears. It is already very easy to search such lists, with folding-at-indentations it would be also easy to navigate them. Thanks Piero

Tunnelling SVN

by Matthew Law

Hi, We are evaluating textmate as part of a wider move from PHP to Rails. I have an issue which I hope someone here might be able to help me with... We have a shared linux development server and we each checkout and edit our files on the server remotely either via samba shares or directly by SSHing in. This is so we can preview the changes in our dev sites as we make them. This works OK for the windows guys (they use Tortoise svn and map a network drive to get to their files). I am OK as I am comfortable in the terminal and don't mind SSHing over to the dev server to do any subversion stuff, but we have a couple of designers who have a fear of command lines and want to work strictly within textmate. Running any SVN command from textmate fails because the samba share appears like a local directory and all the SVN commands get screwed up. It then locks their copy and we have to clean up the locks. Is it possible to set up textmate to either tunnel the SVN commands through SSH so they run in the devserver environment as if performed in a dev server shell or switch to using a different network filesystem (SSHFS, maybe?) so that we can edit our files remotely on the development server and use SVN from within TextMate? We'd even consider moving to another open source version control system to fix this as long as there is good support for Mac, Win and linux...

Italics and Bold in Markdown.

by Luke Daley

Hi, Textmate incorrectly labels italicised and bolded text. In the following markdown: "this is s_om_e markdown", 'om' will be tagged as italicised. When converting to HTML, 'om' will not be italicised. I am guessing that the Markdown processor requires that italicised text be surrounded by white space. The same is also true for bolded text. I was able to modify the language grammar to not incorrectly tag the text. My solution is probably quite naive but it did work for me. Can someone with more regex fu vet this and can we get it added to the official bundle please (assuming it should be added and I am not wrong on this). Luke.

PHP/HTML language definition

by Michael Jackson

I've been toying around with the idea of a PHP/HTML language definition. The problem is that when I'm working on a PHP project, I switch back and forth between pure PHP files and PHP/HTML files all the time. As you can imagine, switching the language definition each time to get proper syntax hilighting can get bothersome. It would most likely be a huge bundle and take a lot of work, but I was just wondering if anybody else has found any tricks for this kind of issue before I investigate it further. Thanks, Michael

new error message in GTDalt command with build 1372

by Michael Gilbert

Hi -- A quick request for help... I thought there might be someone knowledgeable here about an error that cropped up for me with the latest build (1372). I apologize in advance is this isn't the sort of thing discussed here or if I should bring this to another forum, but since it just happened NOW, minutes after my update, I thought this might be the place. Anyway, I'm using GTDalt and the context command (shift-@) gives this error after the selection from the dialog: /Users/mcg/Applications/Text/Textmate/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/dialog.rb:138: warning: Insecure world writable dir /Users/mcg/Documents, mode 040756 Any advice.

GTDAlt Date Picker

by Mark Eli Kalderon

I am having a problem with the GTDAlt date picker. The date inserted does not correspond to the date entered. So entering 12/03/2007 gives me 2007-03-11. And entering 31/05/2007 gives me 2007-05-29. While on the topic of the date picker a small issue about the UI. Dates are entered day month year. I think it should be year month day for two reasons: 1. That way it is consistent with what is entered in the file. 2. The date picker defaults to the current date which is now February. Helpfully it doesn't allow you to pick a day not in that month. So to enter in 31/05/2007 I first had to tab ahead to change the month before entering the day (since there are not 31 days in February). The year month day format would avoid this problem. Thanks. All the best, Mark _________________ Mark Eli Kalderon Department of Philosophy University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT Departmental webpage: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/philosophy Personal webpage: http://markelikalderon.com

[Pascal Bundle] Better Function Pattern Suggestion

by Ryan Wilcox

Hello all, I use the Pascal bundle quite a bit, and I've been annoyed that it can't tell the difference between declarations/prototypes of functions and definitions of functions. I'll give you that this is tricky - in Pascal they both mostly look the same, and what they are is really determined by the next line (which would be a BEGIN if it was a definition) FUNCTION aTest(varName: theType); However, there is two cases where such a difference can be seen easily: the forward keyword and the external keyword FUNCTION aTest(varName: theType); FORWARD; {a prototype of a function found later in the file} FUNCTION aTest(varName: theType); EXTERNAL; {EXTERNAL is just like C's extern keyword} And, in GPC (the Gnu Pascal Compiler) there's also: FUNCTION aTest(varName: theType); attribute (name = 'aTest'); {You could see this kinda like declaring a prototype in C - functions above this in the file OR outside the file can call this function } Can we make the Pascal bundle use the following regular expression in the meta.function.prototype.pascal scope (so then we can use a preference to turn off their appearance in the symbol list? \b(?i:(function|procedure))\b\s+(\w+(\.\w+)?)($.+?$); (attribute|forward|external) Or other thoughts etc would be appreciated - this could be an inefficient way of doing this.

Python syntax breaks on # in regex string (r'#')

Hi All, I just got the latest build, Version 1.5.5 (1372), and I noticed that the python language syntax is now somewhat broken for comment characters (#) inside regular expression strings r'some regular expression'. like: some_reg_string = r'#' shows up as illegal / incomplete syntax. And e.g. all my code following this line: parentPattern = re.compile(r'^#extends (\w+)\s*$') becomes: source.python meta.function-call.python meta.function-call.arguments.python which is a little confusing. best, dirk ----------------------------- Dirk van Oosterbosch de Wittenstraat 225 1052 AT Amsterdam the Netherlands http://labs.ixopusada.com -----------------------------

In the advanced prefs I have TM_SVN set to /usr/local/bin/svn and that's the only svn related change I have made to TextMate. thanks, john

Snippet syntax: confused about mirroring

by Robin Houston

If I write the following snippet: ${3:x}${1:$TM_SELECTED_TEXT}$3$2 activate it, then press tab twice so the first 'x' is selected, I would expect what I type to be mirrored in the other 'x' too. Why isn't it? Similarly, ${1:x}${2:y}$1$2 doesn't do what I'd expect: the 'x' is mirrored, but the 'y' is not. What am I missing? Thanks, Robin

Coloured quoted text in mail

I have just tried enabling using Textmate from Apple's Mail application to get better text editing. Works fine, but one thing I miss from Mail is that text at different quote levels is coloured differently. This would seem a simple enough thing to do (I would have to do a bit of reading up though), but has anyone already done this? Dave.

(RuntimeError) HTTP-Error: 401 Authorization Required from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/ client.rb:409:in `call2' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:399:in `call' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/ Support/lib/metaweblog.rb:31:in `getRecentPosts' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/ Support/lib/blogging.rb:547:in `fetch' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/ Support/lib/blogging.rb:546:in `popen' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb: 11:in `call_with_progress' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/ Support/lib/blogging.rb:546:in `fetch' from /tmp/temp_textmate.V9d44n:3 Thanks for any help in advance!

Context Bundle

by Paul Nakroshis

Hi, I am a new Textmate user, and this is my first post. My initial interest in Textmate was in using it as a python editor, although as I learn more about it, I am interested in using it for LaTeX and Context. The LaTeX bundle is very nice, though the ConTeXt bundle doesn't seem to have a way to typeset the resulting file (at least as far as I can see.) I have configured TeXShop to use Textmate as an external editor---this works, but it is not as nice as working solely in Textmate. Is anyone is working on a ConTeXt bundle similar in functionality to the LaTeX bundle? Cheers, -paul

scriptmate.rb question

by Patrick Gundlach

Hi, I'd link to run a shell command in a bundle and capture the output in the html window. So I thought scriptmate.rb seems to be a good way to go, but I am a bit clueless. Running this from the command line gives me an error. -------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env ruby ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']="/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support" $:.unshift ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + "/lib" require 'scriptmate' cmd_mate("ls") -------------------------------------------------- nil /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/scriptmate.rb:92:in `waitpid': no implicit conversion from nil to integer (TypeError) from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/scriptmate.rb:92:in `emit_html' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/scriptmate.rb:16:in `cmd_mate' from ./parse_texrun.rb:42 And scriptmate.rb looks a bit strange to me: .... def emit_html emit_header() stdout, stderr, stack_dump, pid = @command.run .... is trying to get 4 parameters from @command.run, but UserCommand#run only returns 3. A related question: is it possible to get a pid from popen3? Patrick

Python bundle question/possible bug...

by Fabry Nicholas F.

> Looking at the diff, the b was previously a <, so the intent was to > convert \< to \b (because of a change in the regexp library), but > accidentally all <’s where converted to b’s. > > I have now reverted this part of r976, better late than never :) Excellent! My first bug report and fix! Most exciting. Please forgive my enthusiasm; I only came to programming in a serious way about a year ago. I was 'inspired' to do so by a custom program my company rolled out that was so astonishingly awful that I felt that I had to demonstrate that better could be done. So, a year later, with 20+ newly purchased yet well worn O'Reilly titles on my shelf, it's nice to be able to start contributing back to projects I like. In addition, I have found another small problem with the Python bundle - it has to do with the way it scopes 'meta.item- access.python' sections. In particular, it gets confused by the end ], and does not recognize it as 'punctuation.definition.arguments.end.python', although it recognizes the lead [ correctly as 'punctuation.definition.arguments.start.python'. For instance, put the following in TextMate as Python, and note the scopes/coloring of the []'s. pairing_name = findNextWord(packet[row])[0] The regexes responsible are below, along with my explanation of the problem and proposed fix: { name = 'meta.item-access.python'; begin = '(?=[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*(?:\.[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*)*\s*\[)'; end = '(\])'; patterns = ( { begin = '(?=[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*(?:\.[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)*\s* \[)'; end = '(?=\s*\[)'; patterns = ( { include = '#dotted_name'; } ); }, { begin = '(\[)'; end = '(?=\])'; beginCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.arguments.begin.python'; }; }; endCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.arguments.end.python'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '$base'; } ); contentName = 'meta.item-access.arguments.python'; }, The problem is that the 'meta.item-access.python' begin regex tags a LOCATION, specifically the location of the beginning of the first legit Python dotted name followed by a [, thus correctly allowing the [ itself to be matched within by 'punctuation.definition.arguments.begin.python'. However, the 'meta.item-access.python' end regex tags not the LOCATION of the end ], but the end ] itself, thus preventing 'punctuation.definition.arguments.end.python' from selecting the end ] as it should. In addition, the regex for 'punctuation.definition.arguments.end.python', instead of selecting the end ], selects the LOCATION followed by an end ], which gives it no characters in its scope! My proposed fix swaps the two; both the start and end 'meta.item- access.python' regexes select for LOCATION, and both 'punctuation.definition.arguments.begin.python' and 'punctuation.definition.arguments.end.python' select for the actual CHARACTERS [ and ]. The code is below, and I have tested that it properly scopes the Python constructs now. { name = 'meta.item-access.python'; begin = '(?=[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*(?:\.[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*)*\s*\[)'; end = '(?<=\])'; patterns = ( { begin = '(?=[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*(?:\.[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)*\s* \[)'; end = '(?=\s*\[)'; patterns = ( { include = '#dotted_name'; } ); }, { begin = '(\[)'; end = '(\])'; beginCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.arguments.begin.python'; }; }; endCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.arguments.end.python'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '$base'; } ); contentName = 'meta.item-access.arguments.python'; }, ); }, Hope this is helpful - I am (slowly!) looking through the rest of the Python language definition to see if there are any other glitches I can spot.

[PATCH] blogging with ssl

by Grant Hollingworth

When connecting to a blog over SSL, various blogging commands (e.g., Fetch Post) will include "warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session" in their output. Net::HTTP generates this warning when its verify_mode hasn't been set. It then defaults to OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE. My patch sets it explicitly to avoid the warning.

Remapping the Option Key (column editing)

by Barron Chugg

I don't work with column editing much at all, but I do instinctively use "select, drag, option key" to copy text. But most of the time my clicking option gets me into column select mode. Is there a way to remap the "select column" off of option so it'll just drag-and-copy for me? Thanks.

how to change font for a "logger*" line??? (e.g. to de-emphasis logging lines in Ruby code)

by Greg Hauptmann

Hi, Any tips on how to change the format of a line of Ruby based on it's content? In particular I was wanting to try deemphasize logging lines (i.e. starting with "logger.*") by setting the text font to a gray. Any ideas/tips would be great. Couldn't seem to see when it would be possible to do this in the bundle manager. Tks Greg

Default color for Embedded Source

by Trevor Harmon

TextMate has a syntax element called "Embedded Source", which is used for things like the lstlisting environment in LaTeX or JavaScript code embedded in HTML. The default background color for this element is a light blue, which is almost identical to the light blue used for selected text. Because of the similarity, I always get confused and think I've inadvertently selected some embedded source. I'm wondering why there is such a similarity between these colors. Was it deliberate (and if so, what was the reason?) or was this an oversight? Trevor

TextMate & LaTeX via MacPorts

by Christopher W. MacMinn

Hey folks - I'm trying to get up-and-running with TextMate, which I will be using primarily for LaTeX-ing, and I'm having some troubles. I've been using LaTeX installed via MacPorts/DarwinPorts for a few months now, so I'd prefer to get TM working with that if possible rather than abandoning it for MacTex (unless there is really and truly a good reason to do so). The main problem I'm having is that when I call the "Insert Label/ Citation Based on Current Word" command, TM spits out "The tex binaries cannot be located!" I assume this means that I have not properly told TM where to find my LaTeX installation, but I can't figure out how to do so. I tried creating a PATH environment variable equal to the output of "echo $PATH" in Terminal, but I don't think it helped. Sorry... either I'm doing something dumb or I'm just not unix-y enough to understand what's going on here. Any suggestions? Thanks very much! Best - Chris MacMinn

Python bundle question/possible bug...

by Fabry Nicholas F.

Hi - I was looking over the Python language definition, and I came upon a regex that I don't understand - or, it might be a bug. The regex is in the FoldingStartMarker: <key>foldingStartMarker</key> <string>^\s*(def|class)\s+([.a-zA-Z0-9_ b]+)\s*($(.*)$)?\s*:|\{\s* $|\(\s*$|\[\s*$|^\s*"""(?=.)(?!.*""")</string> The key mysterious part is right in the first character class, which I believe is designed to pick out the name of the class/def in question: [.a-zA-Z0-9_ b]+ Okay, I get it up until the ' b' part. Essentially, the name of a class or def is a series of characters that are in a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or are '_' or '.' . What's the point of the ' b' part? Was this meant to be '\b', signifying a word boundary? Or is there some deeper meaning to space b that I don't understand? Please forgive if this is not an appropriate place for this question; I am rather new (well, completely and totally new) to the use of mailing lists. Brilliant program, btw - it takes time to appreciate it. Nick

how to highlight all occurances of a given string in the file being viewed???

by Greg Hauptmann

Hi, Is there a way to highlight all occurances (e.g. in yellow say) of a particular piece of text? Say a variable name for example? Ideally also is there a way to, once such a variable is highlighted through-out the file, you can change it in one place and it automatically changes it in real time in other places in the file (I know I had this in Jbuilder). Tks Greg

[Blogging]Problem with cat-Snippet

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi! Now I sit at my laptop because my other computer is right now not available, my blog is set up here exactly (at least I think so) like at my working-computer and if I use the cat-Snippet from the blogging bundle I get the following behaviour and error: TextMate tries to contact the blog for fetching the items and then I get the error /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:403:in `call': XMLRPC::FaultException (XMLRPC::FaultException) from /tmp/temp_textmate.xQsjEh:27 from /tmp/temp_textmate.xQsjEh:24:in `call' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:36:in `call_with_progress' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:32:in `call' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:43:in `call_with_progress' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:40:in `dialog' from /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:40:in `call_with_progress' from /tmp/temp_textmate.xQsjEh:24 Any help appreciated Niels

escape-key for completion in latex

by Claus Haslauer

Hi, I am trying to follow this approach in the latex-help file: In the case where what is expected is a label, then pressing escape will similarly offer all matching labels from the TeX document. Depending on your naming conventions, this could for instance offer a list of all theorems: If the labels for theorems are all of the form thm:labelname, and you have included the colon (:) in the list of word characters in TextMate’s preferences, then pressing escape when the caret is right before the closing brace in \ref{thm} will offer as completion options all labels corresponding to theorems. If there are many matching completions, it is often more convenient to use the pull-down-list versions of the commands, which are triggered by ⌥⎋. I do have ":_" (just a colon and an underscore, no quotations)in the preference pane as Word Characters. Is this ok or do they need to be separated / in quotations / ... ? Neither pressing <escape> nor <escape> + <alt> while the caret is right in front of the closing bracket in latex mode, doesn't do anything. Now, I looked into the bundle editor, into the latex bundle in my installation: 1) <escape> is the key equivalent for bibdesk completion 2) <alt>+<escape> is the key equivalent for "Citation based on Current Word / Selection" AND for "Label Based on Current Word / Selection" --- this seems a little weird to me. Is this how it should be originally? Or have I changed this accidently at some point? I remember a time when hitting <escape> (I think) actually has worked and I used "eqn:" and "fig:" for labeling and referencing equations and figures, respectively. Should the difference between <alt>+<escape> and <escape> only that <alt>+<escape> should offer a pull-down list and hitting <escape> multiple times would move through the possible choices? Is this something that got changed over the releases (I am working with cutting edge)? That leads me to another question: when a bundle gets updated in the bundle repository... do those changes get updated in each new (cutting edge) release or would I check them out and update them as I would with any other "default" bundle? Thanks for your help, Claus

LateXCommandCompletions.rb

by Alain Matthes

Hello:) 1) I know that my use of Latex is different from the majorities of the users because I create especially packages. I need to have a really different completion. I need for example : newcommand renewcommand RequirePackage newcounter setcounter stepcounter newlength etc.. for xkeyval define@cmdkey define@boolkey presetkeys.... for ifthen ifthenelsee etc.... etc... I would like to know the good way to obtain this Is it necessary that I modify LateXCommandCompletions.rb ? 2) But I do not understand why in the LateXCommandCompletions.rb, there are words like pi, Pi, lim etc ... words with 2 or 3 letters ? Which is the interest to complement these words? greetints alain
