Re: Re: feature-request: encoding per project setting (Max Lein)

by Max Lein

It's not that I have to choose it manually the first time which bothers me, but that TextMate FORGETS the settings sometimes. So files that have been already saved in the correct encoding are misinterpreted by TextMate to use UTF8. Also, the other part of the problem seems to be that TextMate assumes that UTF8 is used when it's not sure which encoding the file uses instead of respecting the settings in the prefs. Max PS This is just a minor, but annoying bug of mine, I'm a big fan of TextMate :-)

Performance issues

by Chris Ridd

Hi, I've been playing with TM 1.5.1 (948) and wanted to see how it handled XML files on my 1.67GHz Powerbook. The file I needed to mess with was a 3.7MB FO file with some long lines (over 10000 characters and some over 100000.) The formatted objects were generated by an XSL processor which didn't care about long lines ;-) Because it had a .fo extension it was opened as Plain Text. Scrolling around would cause a beachball on some of those really long lines. (Soft wrapping was on.) I used the popup to switch to XML. This caused a beachball for about 2 minutes, and subsequent attempts to scroll often beachballed too. Soft wrapping seems to have got turned off by this switch, which is consistent with the line numbers in the margin. The big mistake was to try and do a Find/Replace of all ">" with ">\n". Whoah. It's been using all the CPU and beachballing for over 30 minutes now, with no obvious way to interrupt it... It is a bit distasteful to bring up other products ;-) but TextWrangler did that Find/Replace in about 2 seconds. Going to XML mode in TextWrangler was instantaneous. Are these known problems? I googled for a bit but couldn't find anyone reporting similar things. Is there any chance these might get addressed in the 1.5.x codebase? I want to love TM but currently cannot :-( Cheers, Chris

feature-request: encoding per project setting

by Max Lein

I have posted here before on the topic of encoding issues. I still have problems with TextMate loading files as UTF8, although I have set latin1 as standard encoding in the prefs (I have disabled `use for existing files' though). This is particularly annoying since I have to manually save every file again just to check whether TextMate uses the correct encoding. Thus I would propose to introduce a feature which sets the encoding globally for one project if the user wishes to. Just add a checkbox (one encoding for this project) and the same two options you have in the file save dialog box (encoding and linefeed). If a user still wants to create a file with a different encoding, he can still choose to do so in the file save dialog. This feature would really help speed up my work since I *have to* use latin1 as standard encoding for LaTeX documents (it's what my co- workers use) and UTF8 for the webpages I create. Thanks. Max

MultiMarkdown Footnotes Issue

by Stefan Brantschen

I experience a somewhat strange behavior with footnotes using MultiMarkdown -- in fact, footnotes stopped working all of a sudden. Thus, Text[^fn] [^fn]: Footnote text evokes the error message "Use of uninitialized value in substitution iterator at /Users/sbr/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Markdown.tmbundle/Support/bin/MultiMarkdown.pl line 1582, <> line 1." MultiMarkdown at line 1582 is handling footnotes, but I cannot figure out what's wrong. As said, this worked before... And yes, I reverted to the version in the svn repository to ensure MultiMarkdown is not contaminated. Did anyone else experience this before? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks and regards - Stefan

ctags (or etags) and TextMate

by Oscar Bonilla

One of the things that still puzzles me about how people use TextMate is how they navigate the source code. I can navigate quite fast on both Emacs and Vim using etags (or ctags). You just basically put the cursor over a function call, and press M-. (or Ctrl-]) and that takes you to the definition of the function. To go back to where you were, you just press M-* (or Ctrl- g) and you're back. I know about the Ctrl-] command in textmate that brings up an HTML list of things to click at, but that is really slow. Besides, I don't know how to go back to were I was. I also know about 'Find in Project' but that is _extremely_ slow (although it seems that if you do a Project Folder it's faster?). At any rate, it still doesn't solve the navigation issue. What I've found is that whenever I'm writing new code, and I know what I'm writing, I can use TextMate and I'm faster on it (due to snippets, context-sensitive commands, etc, etc). But when I'm _reading_ code and trying to understand functions, I'm much, much faster in Emacs or Vim. Maybe I don't know about some better way of finding stuff? How are people in the list navigating codebases? Thanks, -Oscar -- pgp fingerprint: BC64 2E7A CAEF 39E1 9544 80CA F7D5 784D FB46 16C1

Help with indentation rules for IDL

by David Gell

I do a lot of programming in the IDL (Interactive Data Language). It is an interpreted language that is very good for scientific programming and data visualization. I've been using Emacs and the idlwave mode for editing. I'm trying TextMate to avoid the overhead that comes with emacs. At this point I've developed a language grammar that works for styling the text. I'm having trouble, however, with indentation rules. A typical IDL construct looks like if a gt b then begin y = sin(z) endif else begin y = sin(x) endelse or, alternatively, if a gt b then y = sin(z) else y = sin(x) The keyword begin starts an indented block, the keyword end... ends a block. I've tried /* preferences */ { decreaseIndentPattern = '\bend(if|else|for|while|case|repeat)?/b'; increaseIndentPattern = '\b(begin|case|function|pro)\b'; } Which results in indenting: if a gt b then begin y = sin(z) endif else begin y = sin(x) endelse You can probably tell I'm a regular expression neophyte, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regexp assistance

by Geir-Tore Lindsve

Hi, This is more a regexp question rather than TextMate so it is a bit OT, but I'll try anyway since I know that there are som clever regexp heads on this list... I'm trying to figure out a way to parse a string with an expression, so that I can filter out subexpressions to build up a structure of expression objects. An example expression: ((print == MIB) >> (color == Black)); Our expression structure is built up so that everything is an expression with a recursive structure (Expression = expression operator expression): ((print == MIB) >> (color == Black)); (print == MIB) (color == Black) print MIB color Black Additionally, from this list, each variable is also an expression (print, MIB, ...) I guess that some regexp magic would be some great tool here, but I can't seem to figure out the correct approach, and thus need some starter help. Any idea of how to approach this? Programming language shouldn't matter, since it anyway would be some recursive structure to dig down the structure, but for reference I can say that I'm using C#.

HTML and PDF Advice

by Jeffrey Robert Spies

Hi all, I would like my CV available in both HTML and PDF formats. I have a Latex version, but am willing to rewrite it in something like Markdown. In fact, I tried this, but it seems that the MultiMarkdown Bundle's convert to PDF does not produce the correct output (i.e. **word** should be strong, and not italic). I would like to know what other people are doing to deal with this multi-format issue, and how you're using Textmate to do it. Thanks for your time, Jeff.

getting the shiny new GTD bundle

by Dave Winzler

This morning the TextMate RSS feed announced a new GTD bundle, and I did the usual bundle update: cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles svn up *.tmbundle The GTD bundle never got installed, however. I checked /Library/ Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ and Bundles (disabled) but it's not there. Even ran "svn up..." again but still no go. Do I need to do something special to get GTD?

Markdown to PDF via Prince REQ

by Robert M. Ullrey

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With such a great markdown/multimarkdown bundle combination, and now with CSS Preview, I am doing more and more writing/publishing with prince from Textmate. However, I have to use a shell command to run prince. I have tried to hack the screenplay bundles command without much success. What I am trying to write is: 1. convert a multimarkdown (need multi's footnotes) file with declared css file to html (or xml) 2. tell prince to run the file with the css file "prince -s / file/css /tmp/$DST.HTML /tmp/" getting the css file name from the header in the html file so I don't have to tell prince where it is. 3. open the generated /tmp/$DST.PDF il in preview. I can get prince to run, but not glob the css file name. My end product is a PDF of the html source file. Cutie, but not what I want. Thanks in advance for any help, or if others would like to make this.

backup procedure?

by Chris Chapman

Hi all - new to the list, loving TextMate so far. Quick question that I cannot seem to find the answer to. After having customized all my snippets and such, what is the recommended backup procedure, so that I don't someday lose all my customizations? Will backing up the TextMate app suffice? Will I need to write a script to exit the application before backup or is it possible to backup the bundles and all in-place with the app running? [normally I do not backup applications - just necessary prefs and such] Just thought I'd ask. -- Chris Chapman DataSetGo

bfobserver - anyone know what this is?

First, Sorry this isn't a TextMate question/comment/whatever, but I honestly don't have a clue where to go. I have this process that's been showing up for the last few days in Activity Monitor. I can't seem to see it when I run ps aux or top. bfobserver is the name. It's been eating about 50% of my ram on a consistent basis, and it's pissing me off. If I choose ALl Processes, Hierarchically, I see the following: launchd (root) -> bfobserver (root) -> python (eric) Anyone have a clue? - Eric

Language Grammar .log

Folks, I am just playing with TextMate and trying to get a better grasp of regexps.. ;) A language grammar for some time stamped log files (like system.log) { scopeName = 'text.logfile'; fileTypes = ( 'log' ); foldingStartMarker = '/\*\*|\{\s*$'; foldingStopMarker = '\*\*/|^\s*\}'; patterns = ( { name = 'invalid'; match = '(crash(dump|ed)|error|failed)'; }, { name = 'constant.numeric'; match = '[0-9]'; }, { name = 'keyword.operator'; match = '($|$)'; }, { name = 'string.url'; match = '\s(\/.*log)'; }, { name = 'string'; begin = '^'; end = ':\s'; patterns = ( { name = 'constant.language.time-stamp'; match = '[a-zA-Z]{3}\s[0-9]+?\s[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}'; }, { name = 'keyword'; match = '(launchd|authexec)'; }, { name = 'variable.other.process'; match = '\w+?\[\d{1,6}\]'; }, ); }, ); }

Broken Subversion Commit...

If I go ahead and press 'Commit', it fails with the message: Subcommand 'commit' doesn't accept option '--diff-cmd arg' I don't have any SVN-related environment variables set in TextMate. I've seen comments in the revision logs related to specifying a diff command, but don't understand why commit should be affected by this. Any ideas? Thanks, Shiran

full-screen mode feature request.

by Francis Dierick

Hi, I don't know if this will be of interest to users of TxtMt but some users like a text editor to be able to go into full-screen mode. E.g. for creative writing purposes I like to be able to focus on the text, and ONLY on the text without the fluff of the OS and other running apps. Some apps built a reputation out of this alone, e.g. Ulysses, Macjournal. Plus it kinda fits with the simplicity we code hackers like. Nothing beats a fresh full-screen Terminal in the morning, but maybe that's just me. Cheers - Francis

Edit in TextMate not working in BibDesk

I'm editing the "Annote" field in BibDesk via the "Edit in Textmate" shortcut. The shortcut works (TextMate opens with a new file and pastes the text already in the field. But when I write something an then hit "Save", nothing happens. The text doesn't get transfered to the Annote field in BibDesk. Edit in TextMate works fine in Safari, Mail, etc. And if I'm remembering it also used to work with BibDesk. But suddenly it stopped working. Can anybody using Bibdesk as well confirm this behaviour? Btw. I'm using the latest cutting edge build 1021. Thanks. Oliver

Re-enable Filtered bundles

Hi, I'm using the latest version (1.5.1 1021) and I don't know if it is new to this version, or I'm missing something. I went into the bundle editor and clicked the Filter List button to turn off some bundles I'm not using. That seemed to go OK, but when I went back into the bundle editor and clicked Filter List, none of the filtered bundles appear. So the question is... how do I un-filter them? Thanks! jt

Two issues with TextMates and Objective-C

by Greg Miller

I just started using TextMate about a week ago, and so far I love it. But I write a lot of Objective-C and I see two issues that may get annoying fast. I'd love to hear if anyone is aware of a fix or if I'm just overlooking something. Problems: 1) If I write an method implementation that looks like: - (id)performMethodWithLongName:(id)foo and:(id)bar { // ... } The autoindent on the first line of the method body is messed up. I have my editor set to use "Soft Tabs: 2", but I don't end up two spaces from the left margin, rather I end up two spaces after the column where the "and:" method parameter started. It looks like the autoindent spacing is determined by the location of the preceding line, but I'm not sure this will work well with the common spacing patterns used in Objective-C. 2) When I call an Objective-C method, I'd like it to automatically align parameters by the colon. For example, I'd like it to be smart enough to reformat: foo = [someObject foo:bar baz:quux]; into... foo = [obj foo:bar baz:quux]; I figure this one can be done pretty easily w/ a TM command, but I'm more wondering if anyone's already written it. Thanks, Greg

exiting exec in TextMate Command

by Anthony Underwood

I have been trying to combine some tips in the thread on inserting an image url and the thread on using filemerge for svn merge to implement using filemerge using the diff bundle. For this I am using the shell command exec "/path/to/filemerge.app" -left $leftfile -right $rightfile This opens filemerge but does not allow access to TextMate until you quit file merge. Is there a way to allow the exec command to run in the background so that filemerge opens and then allows access to textmate to edit a file. I am also using Alan's code to allow selection of one of the files via a finder dialog box leftfile=$(osascript -e 'tell app "SystemUIServer"' -e activate -e 'return POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Pick an file:")' -e 'end tell'). This does not allow access to packages such as a .wdgt folder. Is there a way to allow the finder dialog box to access a folder such as this. This would also apply to a .app folder. Many thanks, Anthony

full-screen mode feature request

by Oliver Taylor

I suppose I'd better weigh-in while I still have the chance on the issue of a full-screen mode. To avoid [Tuesday Whipper-Snapping][1], I'll just tell you why fullscreen is important to *me*. I'll leave it up to you to interpolate other uses for fullscreen. An interesting, and relevant, discussion has been going on over at [Subtraction.com][2] where talk is brewing of an app that actually blocks all network traffic while using it. A quote: > what better way to thwart a computer than to step away from > it completely? There's no email to check on a typewriter, > no beeps and pop-up reminders from other applications, and > no access whatsoever to the Internet and its tantalizing > abundance of productivity-killing diversions. > > [...] At some point, it occurred to me that it really > shouldn't be necessary to purchase another piece of hardware > to accomplish the same things that writers look to manual > typewriters for: the ability to focus without distractions. And that's exactly what fullscreen is all about, killing distractions and making you forget that your computer can do anything but process text. "HA!" I can hear so many of you saying, "All you need is some will-power! you don't need fancy tools." Indeed, you don't need fancy tools at all. For goodness sake, the greatest masterworks of writing of the human race were created with nothing more than ink and paper. But I ask you this, what lengths did those people go to to kill distractions? Truman Capote was known to only be able to *really* write away from everyone he knew, away from his own life. Writers often take sabbaticals to other countries to finish their works. Killing distractions is a way of life. I'll say that again, Killing distractions is a way of life. For me, anything that helps me do this is a tool I want to use. [1]: http://inessential.com/?comments=1&postid=3291 [2]: http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2006/0509_blockwriter.php

XSLT question (Context: Markdown)

by Stefan Brantschen

A slightly off-topic question regarding XSLT (I am extending the XHTML-to-LateX template). I have the following XHTML markup: <div class="versionhistory"> <div class="version" v="v1.0" d="2006-05-04" a="SBR">Change description v1.0</div> <div class="version" v="v1.1" d="2006-05-05" a="SBR">Change description v1.1</div> <div class="version" v="v2.0" d="2006-05-06" a="SBR">Change description v2.0</div> </div> and would like to read the value of attribute "d". Now, with something like <xsl:template name="get-version-date"> <xsl:param name="vers" /> <xsl:value-of select="//div[@class='version'][@v=$vers]" /> </xsl:template> I can get easily the value of a specific "version div", such as the string "Change description v1.0". But how do I write the select statement to get "d" of a specific version instead? Or similarly, what is the path to read the attribute "content" of a meta tag such as <meta name="documentclass" content="wtdocument" /> with something like <xsl:template name="get-meta-value"> <xsl:param name="tag-name" /> <xsl:value-of select="/html/head/meta[@name=$tag-name] (*???*)" /> </xsl:template> Thanks for any help!

Fist Example: { name = 'meta.line.screenplay'; match = '^(\t{4})([^\t].*)(\s*)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'whitespace'; }; 2 = { name = 'element.character'; }; 3 = { name = 'element.character.eol'; }; }; }, This works great unless the line I'm working on is the last line of the document, in which case the 3rd capture fails. Which makes a certain amount of sense to me because on the last character of the last line of the document there wouldn't be anything to match, not even a newline. But the following works... { name = 'element.action.screenplay'; match = '^[^\t].*((\.|\-|\?|\:|\;|\,)\s*)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'element.action.eol'; }; }; }, Which is totally nuts, because it's not all that different than the first example. My question is this: How can I get the 3rd capture of the first example to work when I'm working on the last line of a document?

Odd behavior with "Move Selection Line Up" and "Line Down"

by Michael Henry

All, I recently purchased TextMate and I've been very impressed with it. It was one of the main reasons I just switched to a mac. I've been wondering about the behavior of the Text | Move Selection | Line Up command. It works exactly as I'd expect when text is actually selected, but when you invoke the command with nothing selected, the behavior is a little bit odd. When nothing is selected, invoking either "Line Up" or "Line Down" from the Text | Move Selection menu will move the current line up or down, which is exactly what I'd want it to do. The unexpected behavior is that the cursor doesn't remain on the moved line at the original offset; instead, the cursor ends up at the start of the line immediately below the moved line. This makes it difficult to move a given line more than one line up or down. Could this behavior be changed? For example, in the following five lines of text, imagine the cursor is on the "@" character: first line second line third @line fourth line fifth line With nothing selected, I'd like to press control-command-up twice and end up like this: third @line first line second line fourth line fifth line with the cursor still in the same place on the "@" symbol. With the current implementation, pressing control-command-up twice first exchanges "second line" and "third line", then exchanges them back, leaving my cursor at the start of "third line": first line second line @third line fourth line fifth line I like the way that many features in TextMate operate on the selected text when a selection is active, but fall back to some natural unit of text for the given operation when nothing is selected. To me, the above-described line move operations seem to "line up" with this philosophy. Thanks, Michael Henry

help with perl search/replace

by Oliver Taylor

>> Is there any reason the following shouldn't work? >> >> perl -pe 's/\n\n/foo/;' > What you may want to do is this: > > perl -pe 'BEGIN {$/=undef} s/\n\n/foo/' I tried that, but this does not allow me to use "^" to denote the beginning of a line, which is critical to some of the search/replace things I'm doing. Any other thoughts?

Escape eats my checkin!

by Dave Baldwin

In the subversion bundle I tried to use escape to do word completion while typing the checkin message and this cancelled by checkin without any warning, discarding the long and complicated checkin description I had been working on. Happy I am not. Dave.

Noob: Snippets don't work?

by Bakki Kudva

I have two questions: 1: I must be doing something really stupid but I don't seem to be able to get the Rails snippets to work when I hit tab on an IntelMac. I have read the docs, googled for it and tried to browse the archives but can't figure out what is wrong. THe bundle editor shows that the rails snippets are there. 2: I seem to be running textmate from the folder which comes up when you double-click on the .dmg file. It takes two steps to launch it. Is this the preferred way to install it? TIA, -bakki

Modify PDF Latex output command

by Johan Blixt-Dackhammar

How can I create a command that creates the PDF file from Latex without creating any other files (logs etc.). Preferrably this command would also let me choose where to save the output document with the standard saving dialog window.

Setext-style heading for Markdown

by Dr. Drang

Here's quick little command/macro pair for handling Markdown headings using the setext format. I wrote it because I always find myself changing the text of my headings, which means erasing the underline and redoing it so the line of equals or hyphens matches the length of the new heading text. (Yes, I know that Markdown doesn't require the length of the underline to match the length of the heading. That's one of the many niceties John Gruber designed into Markdown. But I'm anal and like my underlines to match.) Start with this command for `<h1>` headings. #!/usr/bin/perl chomp(@lines = <>); $under = "=" x length($lines[0]); print $lines[0] . "\n" . $under . "\n"; unless ($#lines == 0 or $lines[1] =~ /^[-=~]+$/) { print $lines[1] . "\n"; } The input should be **Selected Text** or **Nothing**, and the output should be **Replace Selected Text**. I named it "Heading 1." Now record a macro that prepares the input and runs the command. The idea is to be able to call the macro with the caret anywhere on the line with the heading text. If the heading isn't already underlined it will underline it; if the heading is underlined it will adjust the underline to the new heading length. To make the macro, put the caret on the heading line, start recording and 1. Type **Command-Leftarrow** to move the caret to the beginning of the line. 2. Type **Shift-Downarrow** twice to select the heading line and the line below it. (Don't worry if there is no line below it; the macro will record both keystrokes and the command was written to handle the single-line case.) 4. Invoke the "Heading 1" command to transform the selected text. 5. Type **Rightarrow** to put the caret at the end of the selected text and deselect it. I called this macro "Heading 1" also. For a "Heading 2" macro that inserts a line of hyphens, do exactly the same thing, but change the quoted equals sign in the fourth line of the command to a quoted hyphen. There's a writeup of this on [my blog][1] if you need to see more details. -- Dr. Drang [1]: http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2006/05/markdown_headings_in_textmate.html

Incorrect filename display in Project Drawer

by Jonathan Mao

Hi I couldn't find a reference to this on the list and wasn't able to login to the bug tracker. Background: I uses a template system where I have an HTML file that serves as a template. When I want to create a new page for the site, I open the file and 'Save As' whatever the new name will be. Problem: I notice that when I save a file (File / Save As), it seems to rename the file that I was working on to the same name as the file I just 'Saved As'. In other words, if I save "page_template.html" as "index.html" in another folder, when I look back at the project drawer, the original file assumes the name of the new file. Interestingly, if I open the old file (which now has the name of the new file), when I command+click on the title bar to see where the file is stored, it thinks it's the new file. If I close and open the project, the file returns to it's original name. Is there something I can do to refresh the project drawer? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running the Demo version of TextMate 1.5.1 (948) on Mac OS X 10.4.6 on a PowerPC G5 Thanks for listening. Regards Jonathan

Re: [TxMt] primer on markdown & textmate / Rant

by Daniel Käsmayr

<rant> > Difficulties in Collaboration > ============================= > All of my colleagues use Word for curriculum development, tests, and > assignments.

I just got two emails from coworkers with both about 5 lines of text in a word document attached to an email. Can someone please explain to me why they did not just enter the damn text into the email? Luckily gmail can display .doc as html, I really don't care about having Word just for crap like this. Why are people so ignorant? Both my coworkers do complain about Word being sucky and complicated and all that -- but you would think they might do something about it. I wish WYSIWYG and Word were never invented, it dumbs people down, just like PowerPoint tends to do… anyone remember the hype against PP -- http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=000111&topic_id=1 There is whole businesses losing their right to exist just because the average pc user thinks he can do it better, as well as people losing their appreciation of quality (as long as they pay for it). How do you re-train your coworkers and surroundings? THAT is why TextMate is so cool. It makes it easy to create text/code, it makes you love the act of writing the content and not fuss with the annoying stuff around it -- but it doesnt force you to create bad code. Maybe people would be dumping Word if they had a good text editor on their hands (*dreaming*). Ah. Need to get coffee. </rant> Dan

Re: [TxMt] Re: primer on markdown & textmate

by Chris Poirier

Hi nachodog, > So close. . . I installed DarwinPorts. Should I go to any special > directory in the terminal? > > Here is what I ended up with. . . > > > ndog:~ ndog$ sudo port install htmldoc > Password: > sudo: port: command not found > ndog:~ ndog$ I think port is usually installed in /opt/local/bin, which isn't on the root path. Try: sudo /opt/local/bin/port install htmldoc If that doesn't work, the following command will search for port: find / -name port -print Later, Chris. P.S. You'll probably need to add /opt/local/bin to your path, as everything DarwinPorts installed is put there. I think.
