- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Nicholas Cole

(sorry if this pops up multiple times - gmail doesn't seem to be working properly) I've recently started using Textmate and the Latex bundle. I found that I wanted to extend the functionality in various ways, including by adding definitions to the Lanuage file to allow me to highlight footnotes and emphasised text. Some of the code I wanted to add is: { name = 'meta.footnote.latex'; begin = '(\\(footnote|noteToSelf)\{)'; end = '(\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.footnote.latex'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '$self'; } ); contentName = 'variable.parameter.footnote.latex'; }, { name = 'meta.emph.latex'; begin = '(\\emph\{)'; end = '(\})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.emph.latex'; }; }; patterns = ( { include = '$self'; } ); contentName = 'variable.parameter.emph.latex'; }, I've added that code to a copy of the Language definition. It seems to work fine (there are probably errors, since I'm a newbie) but it occurs to me that there may be a better way to do it. As it stands, if the Latex bundle is updated in the next release, I'll still be using the older language definition. Is there any way I could have written my snippit to avoid that problem? Best wishes, Nicholas

Hm, that's an interesting idea, just match any command containing the word cite as meta.cite.latex ..... I'll have to think about that a bit though, and ask the other maintainers. Do you have a list of all these commands? Of course, adding support for every single latex package out there is not really feasible... Looking at http://www.jurabib.homelinux.org/jurabib/jb-com-ref.pdf, there are not really that many citation options, and most of them are already supported in the newest version of the bundle (in the repository). What commands do you find missing? I think it is missing author and title addons at the moment, but those can be easily added. footcite support was added two days ago or so, along with the new completion commands. Haris

save file AFTER command has been run?

by Jim Bagrow

Hi Guys, First time poster, been using TM for a while though. I'm trying to write a command that will run, do it's thing, then save the file. The trick is how to get it to save AFTER the command alters the file. Is this possible? Specifically, what I am trying to do is update a `Last Modified:` string whenever I save a file. That's the easy part, I did it with some python triggered by cmd-s. Now that the string has been altered, how do I save the file? It seems possible with applescript, but I can't get it to work. If anyone has any suggestions about this final step, that would be great. I know there's something wrong with my applescript, it tends to behave differently in osascript than in Script Editor, is this because of the escaped quotes? Something to do with combining triple- and single-quotes? I've searched everywhere, apple documentation, textmate wiki/mailing list, and turned up nothing! It seems to me that having a "Save After" option for Commands would be useful. What do you guys think? Maybe this has been discussed already. Thanks for your help, Jim Bagrow Here is the command: Save: Current File Command: ************************************************************* #!/usr/bin/env python import os import re import datetime # get selected text from shell: path = os.getenv('TM_FILEPATH') f = open(path, 'r') text = f.read() f.close() string = "Last Modified: "+datetime.date.isoformat( datetime.datetime.today() ) p = re.compile('Last Modified: \d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d') result = p.sub(string, text) print result # how can I save the file at this point, AFTER it's been modified? # PS: I hate applescript! cmd = """osascript -e \" set thePath to do shell script \"echo $TM_FILEPATH\" tell application \"TextMate\" activate save current document in thePath end tell \" """ os.popen(cmd) ************************************************************* Input: Entire Document Output: Replace Document Activation: Key Equivalent -> "cmd-S"

Re: New Bundle

by Oliver Taylor

Thanks to Allen I've managed to add HTML export to my screenwriting bundle. So now you can export your screenplays in proper Studio Format! However, thanks to Safari's (and all other browsers) lack of support for paged-media styles the resulting document does not print ideally. That being said, it's a very nice result for outputting to HTML. In fact, it's much better than Final Draft 7! (they don't declare doctypes... bad final draft). It would be nice to see actual support of CSS2 paged-media styles... one can only hope. When exporting a PDF from Safari it adds header information and footer stuff, as well as a nice .25in margin on every side. I'd like to change that, if you know how let me know. I've looked into using HTMLDoc and Prince to export the resulting HTML document to a pdf by way of bypassing the build-in PDF services but both of those cost money, something I'd like to avoid. If you have any tips, let me know. I've also added support for printing and non-printing comments, as well as general code clean-up. Aside from minor changes in regexp rules to account for people's writing habits, I cannot foresee to many more changes in the bundle (aside from a better PDF option). So, thanks to all of you who helped and especially to Allen. You can now say that TextMate has a (somewhat) full-featured Screenplay-writing bundle that imports resulting documents *perfectly* into Final Draft. Objective accomplished.

Specifically, it supports both the "auto" and "always" values, but not "avoid"; which is why I can't get the following rules to work: @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 1in 1in 1in 1.5in; } dl, dd { page-break-inside: avoid; } dt, h2 { page-break-after: avoid; } h3 { page-break-before: avoid; } h4 { page-break-after: avoid; } I've tested these in Safari, Camino, and a Safari Nightly Build.

newbie struggles with updating bundles

Hi, maybe I can get some advice from experienced users.

Req: exclude directory(ies) from "find in project".

by Alain Ravet

This is the feature I miss the most (when writing Rails code). How it works : 1°/ select a directory, and 2°/ mark it as "exclude from 'find in project'" context: in Rails, the log files and 3rd party code (EdgeRails, plugins, javascript libs, docs ..) are all in your project tree => your code can be less than 10% of the total files/code present in the project ===> most of the results entries are useless, because out of scope.

feature request: non-applescript external editor protocol

by m-junk＠still-crazy.org

i've written a few scripts to make editing of remote files easier. then i noticed that TM supports the "external editor protocol" (http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html), which sounds like it would make some of my hacks quite a bit cleaner, but only if i was able to deal with applescript events. i haven't been able to find tools to make a ruby script (or any other scripting language) able to receive applescript events (yes, i know how to send them, although that's still ugly), which means (as far as i can tell) that i'd need to start mucking with obj-C... but then it occurred to me that it ought to be easy for TM to support a more scripter-friendly version of the same protocol, e.g. mate --notify <path> <file> would associate the script at <path> with the opened file, so that TM would make event callbacks, e.g. <path> saved <file> <path> closed <file> <path> reopen <file> given that you've already got the events-based version of the protocol implemented, it sounds like this should be pretty straightforward, and it sure would make my life easier... (a more general request: please don't make useful TM functionality only available through applescript. there are a lot of scripting languages for OS X, and for all but one of them applescript events are a PITA. anything that can be done by sending applescript events should also be accessible via mate! thanks.)

[ANN] Ruby on Rails plugin eases debugging with textmate

by Duane Johnson

This was announced a couple of weeks ago on the Rails mailing list, but I thought it might be interesting to others in the textmate area whether for Rails development or for learning purposes. The textmate_backtracer plugin (download here) for Ruby on Rails lets you easily jump from your web browser to textmate when a backtrace is given. Using the txmt:// protocol, the plugin intercepts the backtrace and inserts the file name and line numbers in a way textmate understands so that you can get to the source of the problem (no pun intended) in a single click. Information available on my blog: http://inquirylabs.com/blog2005/?p=36 Direct download: http://inquirylabs.com/downloads/textmate_backtracer.tgz Duane Johnson (canadaduane) http://blog.inquirylabs.com/

Key bindings for switchers - not working in TextMate

by Brendan Clougherty

Hi everyone, I use a Mac part-time, and switching between Mac and Windows key bindings is driving me nuts. I found the article "Key bindings for switchers" and happily followed along with the instructions. However, having set up my ~/Library/KeyBindings/DeaultKeyBinding.dict file exactly as in the article, the new bindings work fine in Mail and TextEdit but not in TextMate. I have no idea why that would happen - any ideas? Here's the contents of my DefaultKeyBinding.dict (copied directly from the article) for reference: { /* home */ "\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* end */ "\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* page up/down */ "\UF72C" = "pageUp:"; "\UF72D" = "pageDown:"; } Thanks in advance, --Brendan

I have no programming skills other that those I've already demonstrated. Zip There are a few steps left in the process that need to be addressed.

Lastly, thank all of you. It's great to give something to a community and get so much back.

[feature request] back & forward buttons / history steps

by thomas Aylott

PROBLEM: The feature of all mac apps that I use the most is search. Specifically find selection & find again. I use that feature to step through every instance of that selection throughout my code. One feature that I would love to see is a back button for selections. Every time you do a search or scroll through your document & select something, to get back to the last thing you were working on you have to have set a bookmark & remember which bookmark you were last looking at, or you have to manually find that place in your code again. I work on other peoples old janky ASP 'classic' and quickly slapped together ASP.NET code on a deadline. Anything to help me make quick work of navigating through the (massive mountain of fetid spaghetti) code the better. SOLUTION: If there was a way for the program to note every time you move the selection more than 'a little bit' & log that information sequentially, all you'd have to do to get back to what you were last looking at would be to hit the back button. bam bam... done, no thinking. I know the system is extremely extensible, i'm sure there is some way for me to 'roll my own' system for doing something similar. (1) I'd need a command to get the current input location row & column (2) log that information somewhere (3) a command to get the last input location from 'wherever' and then (4) a command to set the input location to 'that location' ??? I think i could figure all this out with applescript and bbedit, but i'm still rather green when it comes to hard-core UNIX hacking. Anyone have any suggestions? ?? IDEA: Maybe a quickie version of it would be to undo the last edit, which would take me back to the last place I was, but then redo my last action without moving the input location so I don't lost any work. hmm... Maybe there's another solution to my problems that i haven't considered. What does everyone else do?

cocoApell really slows down TextMate

by Gary L. Gray

I have been using TM (1.5 (906)) off and on for a couple of days now and I noticed this evening that typing had become glacially slow. I ran the Activity Monitor and noticed that as I type, cocoAspell (2.0.2) was using about 70% of the processor on a 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4. I turned off "Check Spelling As You Type" and the problem went away. I haven't noticed this problem in any other app for which I am checking spelling as I type. Is this a known issue and/or is there some way for me to fix it? This is under Mac OS X 10.4.4. Thank you, -- Gary

My mistake. I've posted a new screencast that goes into much more detail regarding what I the bundle to be able to do. Grab it here: http:// www.ollieman.net/files/screencast2.mp4 The ultimate goal is to end up with a PDF which contains text that conforms to the Studio Format. The Studio Format is a industry- standard layout which all professional screenwriters work in and is the very purpose of screenwriting software. Fortunately for us, the format is very strict as it is modeled after what a typewriter is capable of. You can find more information on the Studio Format and an example of it at http://www.ollieman.net/files/bundles/ --- In another screencast, I intro the bundle and what it's designed to do from a writer's perspective.

HTML/CSS/Markdown suggestions

by Soryu

Hi, I have some small suggestions to the HTML, CSS and Markdown Bundle. # HTML ## Refresh Running Browser(s) Change Scope to `text.html, source.css` so the Browser can be refreshed when editing the CSS file. ## Minor syntax stuff php-source = { patterns = ( { name = 'comment.line.number-sign.ruby'; match = '#.*?(?=\?>)'; }, { name = 'comment.line.double-slash.ruby'; match = '//.*?(?=\?>)'; }, { include = 'source.php'; }, ); }; Ruby mixed with php? # Experimental/CSS What about those Experimental Bundles? I use the CSS syntax from there and it would be nicer if it was in the CSS bundle. Because calling the Gear (Bundle Stuff) menu (Control-Escape) puts you there and not in the CSS bundle. The experimental CSS syntax has been around for quite some time and I wonder if it still is work in progress? It seems to be better than the official CSS Syntax anyway. # Markdown ## Suggestion: Markdown with [SmartyPants](http://daringfireball.net/ projects/smartypants/) “Preview”/“Preview in Browser” or “Convert Document/Seletion to HTML” Pipe it through `Smartypants.pl` (must be added to the repos.) to have nicer HTML. There should not be any problems so one could add it to the default commands instead of creating an additional variant with SmartyPants. I wonder why John Gruber did not combine them in the first place. # Conclusion That's it for now. Have a nice day, Soryu. PS: Why do I not simply make those changes for myself? I did but then I won't be able to use better bundle items from the repository or even a new TextMate release because my changed override them. I know Allan has something on the todo to manage this but it's not short term.

problems with large text files

by Christof Janssen

Hi I sometimes have to work on large data files. The HITRAN 2004 spectroscopic database, is such an example (http://cfa- www.harvard.edu/hitran//). According to the terminal command wc (wordcount), the file that I want to open contains 280 983 978 characters in 1 734 469 lines. Opening with TextWrangler takes about 20 s.After that time I can move around and do some copy and paste etc. TextMate, however, takes about 10 s on my 1.5 GHz G4 PB (2 GB Ram), then it unexpectedly quits without actually displaying the file. Can/Shouldn't I expect TextMate to work with files this large ? There appears to be a problem with memory allocation. Here is what the console log says. ===== Dienstag, 24. Januar 2006 14:54 Uhr Europe/Berlin ===== TextMate(18765,0xa000ed68) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1073741824) failed (error code=3) TextMate(18765,0xa000ed68) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region TextMate(18765,0xa000ed68) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc Christof

Setting command results .

by Simon Gregory

I'm trying to update/extend the ActionScript bundle and replace the commands that output using the deprecated "Show in Seprate Window". To do this I'm trying to store the output of the compiler then, depending on success parse the output message differently. Trouble is the following leaves me with nothing to work with: complieResult=$( mtasc -cp "$TM_MX_CLASSES" -cp "$TM_CLASS_PATH" -cp "$TM_CLASS_PATH/FP8" -cp "$PROJECT_DIR/src" -cp "$PROJECT_DIR/ classes" -version $flashVersion -trace $traceOption -frame 10 -mx - out "$TM_SWF_OUTPUT" -swf "$TM_SWF_INPUT" "Main.as" ) echo "COMPILE RESULT $complieResult"; whereas FILELIST=$( ls $HOME ) echo "FILELIST $FILELIST"; works as expected. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers, Simon

double-click to select matching delimiters?

by Gary L. Gray

In BBEdit, TeXShop, Xcode, and I expect several other editors, one can double-click one half of a pair of delimiters (e.g., braces, brackets, or parentheses), the editor will find its other half, and then it will select the delimiters and all the text in between. I noticed you can't do this in TextMate. Looking through the help, I noticed that you can do this by placing the cursor in the right place and typing cmd-shft-b, but it is much easier to double-click to get the same result. This has also been requested in the wiki, but I couldn't find a response -- is something like this planned? If not, consider this another request for this feature. :-) Thank you, -- Gary

foldingStopMarker problem?

by John Johnson

I like to comment long spans of code thusly: if (a_reason) { for (whatever) { while (something) { ... some code } // while (something) } // for (whatever) } // if (a_reason) I can't seem to find a way to tell TextMate that having comments after the closing brace is okay. I've tried variations on: foldingStopMarker = '\*\*/|^\s*\}|^\s*\}.*'; to no avail. TextMate won't un-indent the brace. Any help appreciated. Regards, JJ --- Help everyone. If you can't do that, then at least be nice.

LaTeX completion problem

by Nicholas Cole

If I try using the "Generic word completion" of the Latex bundle, the error /bin/bash: line 1: /Macros/LaTeXcomplete.pl: No such file or directory is inserted into the text of my document. I tried looking at the function in the Latex Bundle, but it seems to be just a wondow with "No Macro Editor available" at the top and two ExecuteCommandWithOptions { lines. I'm using the latest build 906. Could anyone explain what is wrong? Best wishes, Nicholas

latexmk

by Nicholas Cole

I hope you will forgive the newbie question, but I've searched the documentation for an answer and can't see one. I'm trying to use the build comand of the latex bundle with latexmk.pl I've set my environment variables to: TM_LATEX_COMPILER = [Path to latexmk] (though I still see "success" for building even if this path is wrong) TM_LATEX_VIEWER = preview Yet the pdf is not generated. This could be because latexmk requires the argument -pdf to produce a pdf, but I don't know how to specify that, but the build process is so short, I'm not sure that latexmk is being called at all. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Best wishes, Nicholas

bundle not remembering things?

by Gary L. Gray

I just spent about 2 hours "customizing" the LaTeX bundle to include some of the "snippets" and templates that I used to use in TeXShop's editor. After quitting and restarting TextMate, I noticed that at least two of my templates have disappeared, the order of my snippets and templates has changed, and the modifications I made to the "Filter List..." in the Bundle Editor have all been reset, that is, all the bundles that were unchecked in the filter have been checked again and now show in the editor. Is this a bug or something that I am doing wrong? Thank you, -- Gary L. Gray

indenting of wrapped lines?

by Gary L. Gray

I know that TextExtras is not supported in TextMate (a Google search returned a few places that indicate this), and with the exception of one feature, that hasn't been an issue for me. One thing that I really do miss from TextExtras though is the "indent wrapped lines" setting. Is this something that is on the list of things to be implemented in TextMate? Regards, -- Gary L. Gray P.S. I am new to TextMate and this list -- if this is not the appropriate place to post queries such as these, please let me know.

Request: Matching scopes.

by Mikael Säker

I am doing a bit of Scheme-programming and have spent a few hours trying to make TM understand Scheme syntax in a feasible way. Syntax coloring is no problem since I can do recursive patterns (via includes). However, I cannot find a solution to indentation. What I have is a rule that creates a new scope called "expression.scheme" for each nested expression, for example: (if (= a b) (+ c 1) (+ d 2)) where 'c' (as well as 'a', 'b' and 'd') has the scope "source.scheme expression.scheme expression.scheme". So, this is my suggestion: How about making the pattern matching engine scope-aware, so that I can match beginning and end of scope? I believe having that would make it a breeze to get indentation to work okay with Scheme, just make a preference tied to scope "expression.scheme" and tell it to increase indentation at the beginning ot the scope and decrease it at the end. Each nested scope would then automatically add an indentation-level, which is what is needed to indent right. (And while I'm at it, to be able to set folding at the beginning and end of scopes would also be awesome... :)) I don't think it is possible to do proper indentation for Scheme without some new feature, but I could be wrong. Anyone have an alternate solution? Please tell me. Anyway, thanks for an outstanding product! /M -- Mikael Säker <mikael(a)sicher.org> http://www.sicher.org "Strangers have the best candy."

TM freezes completely on search&replace in 6K-lines XML-File!

by Tom Lazar

whoha! I just wanted to do some xml-wrangling with TM and opened my usual accounting file which contains ca. 6000 lines of xml. I work with it all the time and never experienced any problems. except for right now, when i did a search and replace with regular expressions, just simply remoing all line-breaks, ie. replacing '\n' with nothing. TM has been maxing out the CPU for ten minutes now (Dual 1GHz G4) and doesn't let me do anything. I've got ca 15 projects open and am praying that they're saved. How can this be avoided in the future? is TM really only usable for small files such as XHTML templates or code? that'd be a real shame... can anybody shed any light on this or give some advice, what other product to use for the 'heavy lifting stuff'? best regards, tom

File resets after switching to Safari and refreshing then switching back

by Phill R Kenoyer

Hello, I've tried searching the list, but I didn't find anything about this. I've had this problem for a long time now and I figured it would get fixed, but maybe I'm the only one having the problem. When I'm editing HTML/PHP pages and I switch to my web browser, Safari, to refresh and view my changes, then when I switch back to TextMate I lose my place in the text area. It acts like it reloads the file when I switch back to it. The carrot moves to the beginning of the line, and most of the time the whole text area will scroll down one line. Usually when this happens there is a 2-5 second lag before I'm able to start typing. It's very annoying. Is anyone else having this issue?

Licence entitlement

by Andy Shen

Hi, Just wondering what do you get when you buy a textmate licence, in terms of upgrades. Are you entitled to all the point releases, e.g. 1.4 -> 1.5 but not major release like 1.5 -> 2.0. Also will textmate work with the new Intel Macs? Thanks, Andy

Ruby templates? Anyone working on them?

Folks; Looking at the templates the Python folks have in TextMate, I think Ruby should have similar items in place. Is anyone already working on this, or should I endeavor to add it?

Auto-close markup

by Trevor Harmon

Hi all, jEdit has a plug-in for its HTML/XML mode that automatically closes the current markup block. For instance, if you have this: <html> <body> <h1> And then you hit the hotkey, "</h1>" will be inserted automatically. I thought I remembered reading something in the TextMate manual about an identical feature, but I can't find it now. I know that there's an "Insert Open/Close Tag (with Current Word)" command, but that's not quite the same. Thanks, Trevor

Bug in ruby bundle

by Frederik De Bleser

Hi, I found a bug while going through Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. Whenever you type the following string of characters in Ruby mode: "#<#{}#{ if you follow up with a '}' (just the right bracket), you end up with }"}#}<}#}{}}#}{ If you do it in a piece of text, it garbles up your entire file, adding a right bracket after every single character, making your file look like this: }#} }T}h}e} }g}u}t}s} }o}f} }l}i}f}e} }f}o}r}c}e} }w}i}t}h}i}n} }D}w} e}m}t}h}y}'}s} }A}r}r}a}y} }c}l}a}s}s} }C}r}e}a}t}u}r}e} } } } } } }#} }G}e}t} }a} }m}e}t}a}c}l}a}s}s} }f}o}r} }t}h}i}s} }c}l}a}s}s} } } }d}e}f} }s}e}l}f}.}m}e}t}a}c}l}a}s}s};} }c}l}a}s}s} }<}<} }s}e}l} f};} }s}e}l}f};} }e}n}d};} }e}n}d} This bug appears both in r847 and the latest r906.
