I was trying to install the footnote plugin from syncPeople on Rails,
and nothing happened. Then I fiddled around a bit and detected that
Show Scope didn't work either. So I thought maybe there was a problem
with the path $TM_xxx variables (those are paths, mainly, right?). So
using appZapper I did a complete reinstall and I think I've put
everything in the standard place but still no luck, neither plugin
install nor showing of scope works. Any help? I have all bundles
activated and I've also activated the macros using the automation
menu so as to avoid any keyboard mistypings.

I've been experiencing a problem in the otherwise excellent Textmate,
it's related to tab-completing a snippet within a tab completed
snippet, here's a simple example to illustrate my problem:
I have created a new text.html document and typed mailto<tab> to get
the mailto snippet, now in the href value I am attempting to insert
another snippet I've created which is a shortcut for my email
address, unfortunately it assumes the shortcut is the value for href,
then moves to the subject value.
I can understand why Textmate works this way, after all, why would
you want to insert a snippet in to a field which expects a literal
value, but ideally I would expect it to tab-complete the email
address, then another tab to move to the subject field.
Hi guys,
I seem to have somehow hosed my bundles or commands or something.
Lot's of things don't work such as CMD+/ for comments or CMD+RETURN
for end of line then return, etc.
Is there anyway I can get fresh default bundles? Or is there
something else I can do to fix these things?

I changed the foldingStartMarker to this:
'^.*\bfunction\s*([\$|\w]\w*\s*)?\([^\)]*\)(\s*\{[^\}]*)?\s*$';
The only reason is that now I can fold this funny-named prototype
function:
function $()
Anyway, if you want to commit this change...
I'm just now playing with TextMate for the first time and, of course,
had to futz with themes a bit to get to my preferred light-on-dark
kinda coding environment....
Question: How do you tell what scope is under the cursor?
I found that I really liked Vibrant Ink, but it lacked scope
definitions for Objective-C and some of the other modes I end up
dealing with. However, the built in Espresso Libre did a pretty good
job otherwise. Since copy/paste didn't work in the Prefs pane
(Feature! Feature!), I ended up copying the various random settings
elements from one plist to the other.
Being too lazy to actually sort out the dupes, I wrote a wee bit of
python (you'll need PyObjC) that rips through the resulting plist and
eliminates duplicate settings (names only).

It is dumb. It should normalize by scope. I should fix that.
Actually, it really is broken -- it really should normalize by
scope. Ah, well.. it'll limp along enough for now.

Hi Folks
Let me begin by making clear that I'm not a programmer - I'm trying
out TextMate in HTML production, which may or may not be advisable. I
have been using TextWrangler for this purpose.
The problem I'm having is too much space is being inserted before and
after what is actually being copied and pasted, like at least a
couple of words length on each end. And that's making messy code.
I'm copying out of Dreamweaver and pasting into TextMate.
TextWrangler doesn't make this mistake. What am I not understanding?
I would prefer to use TextMate - text and code are easier to read and
the overall design of this app looks quite advanced to me. I might
use it for ActionScript in the future but I probably won't be using
90% of the features.
This app is not very accessible to non-programmers. Maybe that's how
you prefer it. Some beginning and mid-level tutorials and/or movies
would help a lot. The manual is more like a reference book, rather
than showing it in application. Just to say you might get better
adoption of this beautiful app with better teaching of it.

I downloaded the Prototype and Scriptaculous bundle from
http://encytemedia.com/blog/articles/2006/01/03/textmate-vibrant-ink-
theme-and-prototype-bundle
but it seems not to be working (yes, I have activated it)
I don't get any syntax highlightning from it in either html or js
files, and this is supposed to happen as far as I understand?

I am a recent convert to TextMate, but for some reason (probably me
fooling around in the app) I no longer get any content to show up in
the Function/Symbol field down to the right in the editor for my PHP
and HTML files. Now I just want to restore the default settings for
such files - is this possible while still retaining my other
settings? If so, could someone point me in the right direction?

Is there a way to use TextMate to View Source in Safari (or any
browser for that matter)? Gosh would this be handy, I have a safari
plugin that at least shows the source in color, but of course,
anything I can do in TextMate is better!

Hi,
I saw some old posts on the mailing list regarding the pause (several
seconds) that the user experiences when switching back to TextMate
from some other application when a project contains files mounted
over NFS. An fs_usage confirms that it probably is the 1000's of
fstat() calls that TextMate does when activated that is causing the
pause.
Is this due to be fixed anytime soon, and in the meantime, has anyone
found any workarounds for it?
Thanks,
Geraint.
I am writing a script to parse a binary file in ruby. According to
the documentation on the file format, the integers are in little-
endian format. When I take the script, read the appropriate part of
the file, then 'unpack' with 'V' (little-endian), I don't get the
right answer from the internal "Run script" command. I do get the
right answer if I change to unpack with 'N'. However, if run from
the command line against Apple Ruby (/usr/bin/ruby 1.8.2) or against
Ruby compiled with DarwinPorts (/opt/local/bin/ruby 1.8.4), I get the
appropriate result with 'V' (as I should).
This seems to be a bug to me, though I'm not sure I'm missing
something here. Can someone either confirm this is a bug, or
alternatively explain to me why things are behaving in this way.

Hey all,
from time to time TextMate wants my password in order to save a file
having the following perms :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 yvon yvon 591 Mar 12 10:19 run.rb
even after entering the correct pwd, i'm unable to save the file
thought i've found a workaround :
copy the content into the clipboard ;
close the file without saving ;
re-open the file ;
paste the clipboard within this file.
have you heard of such a behaviour ?
best,
Yvon
I am working on an macro in which the selected text will be filtered
through one command and then all the text after the selection will be
filtered through another command. After the first command is
finished, the transformed text is selected, and I need to deselect it
and put the caret immediately after it. I had thought that hitting
the right arrow key would do the trick, but found out [that doesn't
always work][1]. Is there a foolproof way of getting the caret to
land right after the selection?
And while I'm asking questions, two more:
1. Is there a way for a command to call a macro?
2. Can a macro be made to behave differently depending on whether
text is selected or not?

Hello,
Yesterday I decided to give TeXniscope a try after watching the
screencasts from Haris (btw, great screencasts!)
I have a problem making TextMate using TeXniscope though. I have set

set the editor command path to /usr/local/bin/mate and the editor
arguments to %file -l %line.
When I typeset the document, TeXniscope doesn't open at all and the log
window shows this message:

Hi all,
I'd like to announce Keyref, a little app for turning TextMate's
keyboard shortcut list into a PDF reference card. Go to http://
keyref.octopod.info and follow the instructions to generate your own.
You can choose up to eight of the bundles you have installed to add
to the card and generate as many as you want.
I built this because I switched to TextMate just over a month ago and
found myself very lost initially. Several people found the first card
I generated useful so I decided other people might and ended up with
the web app. It takes the shortcut list TextMate generates, so will
include all your own shortcuts as well as the standard ones.
If you find this useful, or have any problems, please let me know.
Cheers,
Chris

Hey all,
i'd like using, from TextMate, ruby scripts making use of :
require 'xml/libxml'
for the time being i get an error :
LoadError: no such file to load -- xml/libxml
i think i could be coming from $LOAD_PATH (for ruby) not set-up
correctly.
i did a ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
with only the PATH assigned.
does i need to add something equivalent to :
export RUBYOPT=-rrubygems
export GEM_HOME=/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
being in my zsh init.
or all of those kind of setup could be done thru TextMate setup, but
how ?
obviously my script making use of libxml binder is working from
terminal.

can anyone help?

I'm interested if there is a way or technique (or even "trick") that
will allow me to track and resolve naming dependencies in a TextMate
project.
Specifically, I'm thinking of the situation where, as I develop a web
site, I decide that I need to move or rename an existing file. In
order to prevent the website from breaking, I must then locate and
change any and all references to that file in ALL of the files in the
project. I can use Find and Replace in Project to accomplish that,
but this is hardly proactive on the part of TextMate. I have to stop
to do it, or *remember* to do it later.
If I were using GoLive or Dreamweaver I assume that if I changed the
name of a file in a project, I'd get a message that that file was
referenced in "X" number of files and would I like to update all
those files to reflect the new name?
Is there any way now (or might there be any way in the future) to
handle this situation?
I'm not programming in C or the like, but it seems to me that a
similar situation could occur there: Say that for some reason you
change the name of an include or header file... you'll be into a real
mess if you don't detect all the locations in the code where that
file is referenced and change it! OR... if you change a variable
name for some reason, references to that name will need to be changed
(even though we aren't changing a FILE name in that case).
Thanks,
eo

Anybody wish to help me with a pattern for the PHP language bundle? I
have embedded SQL under a variable such as below. I'm having trouble
excluding the addslashes part from the scope.
$sql = "WHERE category = '" . addslashes($category) . "'";
...or...
$qid = DB::query("
WHERE category = '" . addslashes($category) . "'
");
The pattern I've come up with so far:
{ name = 'meta.scope.sql';
begin = '(dbQuery|DB::query)\("|\$\w*(sql|where)\w*\s*=\s*"';
end = '"\)|";';
patterns = (

I have playing with TextMate for about a week and don't seem to find
a "bracket" matching feature.
Example, when I double click on a { or [ or (, the match closure is
found and all code in between is highlighted. Or something to that
effect. I have seen other editors simply highlight both the begin
and end characters when the cursor is on one of them.
Am I missing something obvious or does this not exist?
thanks, ke han
Hi
Here's a question for the latex pro's: Do you know if special
characters like german umlauts are allowed in labels? e.g.:
\section{Mein grünes Apfelbäumchen}
\label{mein_grünes_apfelbäumchen}
It works when typesetting the document. I just wanted to know if this
is valid code. Because if _not_ then it would be nice, if these would
be escaped automagically when using the section, subsection and
subsubsection snippets. E.g.:
\section{Mein grünes Apfelbäumchen}
\label{mein_gruenes_apfelbaeumchen}
If it's easier to accomplish, you could also just escape a for ä, u
for ü, and o for ö, etc.
Another nice enhancement would be if the \section and \label commands
would each be on a seperate line. I just asked about the oppinions on
this in the irc channel and I got at least one more vote for this ;-)
Cheers. Oliver
When I select a word by double-clicking on it and then hit either the
left or right arrow key, I expect the word to be deselected and the
caret to end up at the start or end of the word. This isn't what TM
[Version 1.5 (906)] is doing for me now, and its breaking a macro I'm
trying to create.
It appears that hitting an arrow key with text selected by double-
clicking puts the caret one character to the left or right of where
the double-click happened. No other current Mac program that I use
does this, nor can I remember any other Mac program ever behaving
this way (going back to 1985). So, unless I've inadvertently changed
some setting to start this behavior, I would call this a bug.
FYI, the arrow keys work as expected when the selection is made by
swiping or shift-clicking.

are so many instructional videos. (I hope you finally understand what
I'm doing, Haris)

I'd like to take a second and thank all of you for helping me with
this. It's an amazing thing that I've managed to build for myself (at
least) an end-to-end solution for writing screenplays that I actually
enjoy using. And no small part of that is due to the users of this
list, you have made this a learning experience that has resulted in a
useful tool.
It's not just that TextMate is my new favorite app. It's that I feel
as though Allan and the community around TextMate are genuinely
working together to advance the quality of our collective writing
environments; it's not just features and buttons, it's progress. And
for that, I cannot thank you enough.

Just a quick question this time.
Is there any practical difference between 'edit›select›paragraph' &
'edit›select›line'?
I expected that 'select›paragraph' would not select the newline at
the end of the string, leaving me free to delete a block of text and
not remove the line itself from the document. This (expected)
behavior would really be nice for some macros I'm working on.

I've been using TextMate for Ruby on Rails development for over a month
now. One thing I missed from some Java IDEs was documentation popup.
With TextMate, you can hit control-H on a symbol and the Ruby bundle
will use `ri` to try to find it. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
However, Ruby gems (such as Rails) are not processed for use by ri. To
do that, you have to do it manually. I performed the following this
task with just one command on the terminal:
rdoc --ri-site /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/act*/lib
The '*' will expand to all of the active... action... stuff that is for
rails. Once this completes (which will take a few minutes), you can
finally use control-H for rails related classes and methods and get
quick access to documentation. Sweet!
Oh, for some caveats on this technique, check out this URL:
http://www.codecomments.com/archive327-2005-5-510886.html
So basically this technique isn't perfect but it's better than before.

Hi all,
I'm having problems with big files. TextMate, for me, is practically
unuseable for many applications, and I'm not sure wether something is
wrong, or I'm just witnessing limitations of the app itself.
TextMate takes upwards of 3 minutes to paste moderately long pieces
of text (30-70 KB) without line breaks. I use TextMate to edit
Wikipedia entries, which are sometimes badly formated. Thirty
thousand characters and not a newline in sight. When I copy texts
like that and try to paste them into TextMate, it practically dies.
Three times out of five, it won't recover. If it comes back, it's
unbearably slow and practically unuseable. Am I doing something
wrong, or is this a known issue? I am on a G4 1,25GHz with 1 GB of RAM.
Firefox's textfields can handle pasting and editing of 1MB snippets
(I tried) without a hitch, EVEN in those JavaScript rich editor
abominations, which probably aren't the most optimized pieces of code
ever to parse text. And that's with all the other crap going on, like
10 tabs open and several exensions installed.
What's going on?
Michael Ströck
Hey all,
I just started tasting TextMate today, great app.
I was wondering is there any trick to get "creating files from

"create" button.

to the problem I'm facing:
2006-03-07 18:26:01.742 TextMate[2305] Error laoding '/Applications/

When writing Markdown, I like to use reference-style links:
[link text][id]
.
.
<rest of text>
.
.
[id]: http://www.site.com
I've written a snippet that does some of what I want:
[${1:description}][${2:id}]$0
[${2:id}]: ${3:href}
but it puts the reference on the line below the link rather than at
the bottom of the file. Although I haven't done it, I suspect that
writing a command that takes the link label line and puts it at the
bottom of the file wouldn't be too difficult. But before I give it a
try, I'd like to know if it's possible to combine the snippet and the
command into a single instruction that allows me to enter the 3
pieces of information, puts the link label at the bottom of the file,
and leaves the caret back at the [id].

Hello,
I've been a lurking member of this list for some time, but this is my
first attempt at posting. I've been trying out TextMate in demo mode
and plan to buy it because it's nearly perfect for the way I work,
but I have a couple questions I'm hoping somebody could clear up for me.
I'm not a programmer, so please forgive me if my questions seem
somewhat elementary. I do, however, use the Terminal quite often for
shell commands, and I understand PHP well enough to write code for my
own purposes. I prefer coding my web pages by hand, and I'm fluent in
XHTML and CSS and competent in XSLT. I'm a bit anal about clean
coding, usability, and accessibility (both for the end user and for
me when writing my pages). For these reasons among others, I've been
disappointed by virtually all of the website generation applications
and/or scripts I've tried. It seems they require lots of convoluted
configuration that just gets in my way. Besides, I'd rather just do
it all myself with flat text files, using scripting just to generate
the headers, footers, navigation, etc.
I'm not necessarily concerned with TextMate's ability to do the many
super-complicated things it obviously can do, as I probably won't use
most of it myself. However, I'm wondering if it has a feature similar
to the Persistent Includes available in BBEdit. I have examined the
manual and read about how to use snippets, templates, commands, and
the like, and I understand how these could be used to make my life
easier. The problem is that I haven't figured out if there's a way to
re-parse an entire project or certain files within a project after
I've made changes that will affect the output.
For instance, if I've used a script to output links to all the files
contained in the directory (as a navigation menu of sorts) but later
add more files to that same directory, I'd like to be able to re-
generate the entire site so that those new files show up in the menu.
Likewise, if I've generated prev/next links to other files in the
same directory, I'd like to have them updated without having to
manually type the new hyperlinks into each and every file of the
site. I know I could use PHP or server-side includes or something
similar (and I have written a simple php function to do just that),
but I'd really like to generate static web pages because having
dynamic pages online really isn't necessary for what I'm doing (also,
I can upload the same files both to .Mac and to my virtual host, for
example).
If nothing resembling Persistent Includes is available in TextMate,
another viable option would be to auto-generate the output of an
entire project but save it to a new directory on my system using the
same hierarchy of the original project. That way, I can simply re-
generate it whenever I need to. In fact, that would probably be a
simpler solution than the Persistent Includes idea, but of course you
all probably know much more about how to efficiently accomplish this
than I do. Also, if anyone could point me in the direction of a good
streamlined tutorial on how to use shell scripts in an environment
such as TextMate, perhaps I can figure it out on my own. The TextMate
manual is nice, but something more tutorial-like would help a lot.
Sorry for the long post - it actually started out longer with more
details about my background and what I do, but I figured people may
get annoyed, so I cut it. If I need to further clarify exactly what I
need to accomplish, please ask, but I suspect most of you are quite
familiar with BBEdit and know about how Persistent Includes work and
how they differ from regular Includes.
Thanks,
Crystal
I've made a bit of progress in writing a MediaWiki bundle, the goal
of which would be to allow one to use TextMate as an external editor
on Wikipedia and other sites using the MediaWiki software. I've
written an alpha version of a Ruby library to machine-read/screen-
scrape wiki pages -- for example:
page = new MediaWiki::Page('TextMate')
page.contents.gsub!(/Textmate/, 'TextMate')
page.save('Corrected capitalization')
I've also built a few proof-of-concept TextMate commands -- fetch
selection from Wikipedia, etc., and have done a very small amount of
work on a MediaWiki syntax grammar (though the one described here
<http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2006-January/
007623.html> might be further along).
In short, I'm trying to replicate as much as possible of the
functionality of mwjed <http://www.djini.de/software/mwjed/>, a jEdit
plugin with the same purpose. This would include being able to
configure multiple wikis independently, log in, etc., so the bundle
will have to keep track of a bit of configuration info.
If anyone is interested in contributing to this project in any way,
or has any ideas on how I can more elegantly keep track of a wiki
"instance" across individual pages, please let me know. I'm decent
enough in Ruby to get by (though my code could definitely benefit
from another pair of eyes), but if you've got specific expertise in
Objective-C I'd love your assistance in writing some dialogs like the
ones in the Subversion bundle.
The bundle is in no way ready for inclusion in the bundle repository,
but I can share what I've got with anyone who's interested. I invite
questions, comments, and general ridicule.
Cheers,

I'm using TextMate 1.5 (906), and just starting to get involved with
a couple of Python projects. I watched the Python screencast by
Domenico Carbotta .. quite nice!
But there are a few snippets missing, I think. I'd like to use
for<tab> to build a for-loop template. Ditto for all the controls
like if, ifelse, while, and possibly a few others.
Are these in the Subversion repository? I tried to download the
entire bundle set from svn using the instructions on:
http://macromates.com/wiki/Main/SubversionCheckout
but it had an error.
So basically I'm looking for a bit more python help in TM but not
sure how to proceed.
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. But the situation I'm often confronted to in my
job is editing whole sites coded by others that have the same exact
HTML on millions of pages and I really need to use the project wide
search and replace feature in order to be anywhere close to
productive... If there's is any chance to implement the same collapse
window thinggy from the regular search in the future, it would be
great. Thanks again for your help.
I didn't know about command + / till the other day, however i've run
into a minor issue.
If I have source like the following:
function do_me()
{
/* this was some old shit */
/*
$var = blah
*/
echo 'hello';
}
the command + / shortcut will turn it into:
/*function do_me()
{
/* this was some old shit */
/*
$var = blah
*/
echo 'hello';
}*/
which is deffinitly a no go. how could I change it so that it would
result in:
// function do_me()
// {
// /* this was some old shit */
// /*
// $var = blah
// */
//
// echo 'hello';
// }
Thanks,

I am (almost done) writing an HTML output script for my Lua bundle
which (among other things) provides TextMate links for syntax error
codes.
I put one of my files in a path with a space in the name, and it took
me a fair amount of experimenting to figure out how TextMate and Lua
independently wanted to see the URL.
The raw path as supplied in the argument list is:
/Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork butt/bling/tmp.lua
To pass that to Lua, I needed to escape the space char:
file_path = Pathname.new( ARGV[0].gsub( %r{([^\w/.])}, '\\\\\1' ) )
#=> /Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork\ butt/bling/tmp.lua
To create the parameter for the TextMate URL, I needed to NOT have
that escaping. If I perform HTML escaping (for valid HTML) the space
may not be represented as a '+' char, but must be a %20.
WORK:
<a href='txmt://open?url=file:///Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork butt/
orxit.lua&line=6'>
<a href='txmt://open?url=file%3A%2F%2F%2FUsers%2Fgavinkistner%
2FDesktop%2Fpork%20butt%2Forxit.lua&line=6'>
DON'T WORK:
<a href='txmt://open?url=file:///Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork\
butt/orxit.lua&line=6'>
<a href='txmt://open?url=file%3A%2F%2F%2FUsers%2Fgavinkistner%
2FDesktop%2Fpork+butt%2Forxit.lua&line=6'>
The Ruby code to create the valid URL param:
htmlpath = CGI.escape( "file://" + File.expand_path( path+file,
file_dir ).gsub( /\\(.)/, '\\1' ) ).gsub('+','%20')
As a more pathological case, I renamed the folder in Finder to "pork
\ % / butt"
The "/" in the name is apparently a ":" on the file system:
gavinkistner$ cd pork\ \\\ %\ \:\ butt/
gavinkistner$ pwd
/Users/gavinkistner/Desktop/pork \ % : butt
My code produces:
<a href='txmt://open?url=file%3A%2F%2F%2FUsers%2Fgavinkistner%
2FDesktop%2Fpork%20%5C%20%25%20%3A%20butt%2Forxit.lua&line=6'>
and it works. Yay! :)
In the regular find window, there's that arrow button you can click
to get a multi line text field where to enter your search query, but
I don't see it when I do a search in whole project, which is kind of
a pain when looking for lengthy pieces of code...
Did I miss something? Thanks!
Hello there
I just noticed that the new Mercurial bundle uses cmd-H to activate
its commands. I use this shortcut very often for hiding Textmate and
other applications. It's a system wide shortcut for hiding
applications. So I might not be the only one doing this. It's no big
problem for me since I can always disable the bundle with the filter.
All the same it might be a good idea to change it to anoter shortcut.

I think you use this discussion list as a user feedback collection
point. In which case, FWIW, I would be very glad for Growl support too
for the reasons stated above. Growl is highly configurable, usable in a
persistent, immediate and coalesced modes and very OS X. I find
tooltips fiddly and non-persistent. I use most text at 14 points and I
find tooltips bothersome to read.
cheers
David.
