scope-specific word completion collection

by Oliver Taylor

I'm creating a custom bundle for screenwriting and I've got most of it down, but I want to leverage textmate's completion abilities. For example, I've got this is the language: { name = 'splay.character'; match = '\t\t\t\t+(.*)'; }, ...to define anything that starts with 4 tabs as "splay.character" Now, I want to collect all the words in the current document (but only within the "splay.character" scope, and use them as a list for auto-completion. So that when I tab 4 times and type "Ki" then escape, "King John" will pop up. I know this is done with a shell command (right?) but I have no idea how to do this.

Block indent, bracket matching, bracket typing

by Steven Wittens

Arrr mateys! I'm a recent TextMate convert, and I absolutely love it ;). Still, I have a couple of requests... I searched the archives and couldn't find much about the first two: 1) On my (Belgian) keyboard, typing a [ or ] requires option+shift+( or ). This makes the block indent shortcuts very cumbersome to use because the command key is also required, meaning it's a 4-key chord each. One solution would be to add e.g. command+( and command+) as extra shortcuts for this (which are 2-key chords for anyone else on a Belgian and French keyboard). But in many other editors, there is a much easier and intuitive way to block-indent: just select multiple lines of text, and press Tab or Shift-Tab. In TextMate, the first just replaces the selection with a tab (not so useful IMO), and the second does nothing. So, please consider adding this feature. 2) The bracket matching seems clumsy. The highlighting is only a short flash, so you need to move the cursor back and forth to see it again. And because it only highlights the opening bracket, it is often hard to see which is the matching closing bracket. Especially when you are around multiple nested parentheses, and you are doing the 'back and forth' thing to see it flash again. Finally, it does not work in reverse (highlight the closing bracket when you are at the opening bracket). I think it would be a much more usable feature if it highlighted both brackets in a pair, when you are at either of them and did so permanently (i.e. based on cursor position) rather than just when moving over a bracket from left to right (i.e. based on cursor movement). It would also get rid of the artificial pause it has now. 3) I'd like to voice my support for smarter insertion of bracket pairs in the middle of text (as has been requested before). All too often, I get 'foo()bar(...)' when I want to wrap 'bar(...)'. Selecting the text to wrap first (what was suggested before on the list) just doesn't feel right to me. My instinct groups the bracket with the keyword in front of it, so doing keyword -> highlight -> bracket is icky. I'd much rather have no closing bracket inserted when the next character is not an operator/whitespace/end-of-line. I hope having a license gives me at least some nag credits ;). Steven Wittens

mate + output in html? run textmate command from command line?

by m-junk＠still-crazy.org

the "mate" command-line tool is great, but i find myself also wishing that i had some way to pipe input into a textmate html window, e.g. rather than long_running_command | mate which waits until the command is completed, and then throws the output in an editable text window, i'd like to be able to say long_running_command | pre | mate -html and get a continuously-updated, non-editable window (with the option of adding javascript and formatting). i could see how to hack this up myself if there were a way to initiate a textmate command from outside textmate (i.e. provide stdin, a command line, and one of the standard output choices (arguably only "show as html", "show as tool tip", and "create new document" would really make sense)) -- but i couldn't see how to do this (i'm no applescript wizard, but i poked through the scripting dictionary). is there some trick here i'm missing? if not, consider this a feature request...

fileTypes for dynamically named files

by Sean Wallace

I'm trying to update the svn-commit.tmp language definition to work with SVK, but am having some difficulty. In SVN, the temporary commit file is always named 'svn-commit.tmp' or 'svn-commit.2.tmp'. So the following works: fileTypes = ( 'svn-commit.tmp', 'svn-commit.2.tmp' ); In SVK, the temporary commit file is named 'svk-commitXXXXX.tmp' where XXXXX appear to be five random alpha-numerics. I haven't been able to figure out how to match this. Am I missing something? Thanks, Sean

A few suggestions: Open URL, diff and drags

by Freek Dijkstra

Hi, I got a couple of suggestions. First of all, open URL: I'm used to clicking on a URL in a text and go to that URL in a webbrowser. In Mac OS 9, there was an extension that allowed to do that by command-clicking on any URL. In Mac OS X virtually all text editors or text viewers, if you right-click on a URL, you get a menu which (among others) says "Open URL". Try BBEdit, SubEthaEdit, Stickies, or TextEdit. They all have this feature. Except for TextMate. Perhaps I can create it using "Filter Through Command...", but that's clumsy. I suggest to add this feature like in all other editors. Second, Diff's: Well, this has been discussed on the list before. The diff function in TextMate is not really useful. Actually, Compare Texts is still the only thing I use BBEdit for. Even though Apple's FileMerge does a better job of showing the diff's (much better then either BBEdit or TextMate), BBEdit most definately has the best integration of viewing AND editing diffs, as well as ignoring line endings and white space (TextMate diff can't handle anything but unix line endings). This is very high on my wish-list for TextMate. Last, draffing URL's: Dragging. I struggled long to understand "DragCommands" (there is not useful mention of them in the help or on the wiki). I would love to be able to make a DragCommand that allows me to drag a URL to a HTML text file, and that the drag then automatically inserted a <a href="$URL">$name</a>, preferable with the previous selection as the $name. However, it seems that now, DragCommands only work on files, not on other drags like URL's and images. Oh, sorry if I sound critical. I love TextMate. I really adore the UTF-8 support (actually that was the single most important reason for me to make the switch to TextMate as my default editor). Keep up the good work! Regards, Freek Dijkstra

Label colors in project drawer?

Re: Project Drawer: File won't show in tabs/edit pane

by Owen Densmore

Thank you for the quick responses. I fixed the problem in the following way: opened "misc" in textmate via "mate misc", saved it as UTF-8. Apparently the odd character mentioned by Allan was fixed by this operation. I had earlier tried a conversion via "reopen with encoding" UTF8 but that did not make a difference. However, using "save as" w/ UTF8 on top of the older version did fix the problem. In terms of why not use a .sh extension, I have to confess to being an old unix guy and never got in the habit of typing foo.sh when I can type foo instead! Anyway, we're go, thanks for the help. -- Owen Owen Densmore http://backspaces.net - http://redfish.com - http://friam.org

The shelf.

by Hans Petter Eikemo

Hey! I just watched the 10 minute Ruby on Rails intro video (http://rubyonrails.ams.cachefly.net/rails_setup.mov) where TextMate used a pane for project files instead of the shelf. The pane looks good, any chance it will return? I realize this will make TextMate look a lot more like Xcode, but that wouldn't bother me.. Perhaps something similar to the one in Mail2 (Tiger) . hans petter.

Project Drawer: File won't show in tabs/edit pane

by Owen Densmore

Hi folks. I've tried TextMate a while back and in *instantly* replaced my use of jEdit. Wow, hard to believe you can get a unix class text editor with Mac grace all in one package. Congrats! I've the following problem: - I've created a project called Daily that I have the files I edit often: Notes, Log, Bashrc, ToDo, etc. I add files to the project by simply using Add Exiting Files ... - This generally works but I've got one shell script file "misc" that is used for quick shell hacks. When I include this in my project, it does not show in the tabs or in the edit pane. - The file is a bit odd: it looks like this: #!/bin/sh <current hack> # ---------------------------------------------------------- exit # ---------------------------------------------------------- <past hacks> # ---------------------------------------------------------- ...etc to EOF. Note the "exit" used to let prior hacks be available for reference, yet not be executed when misc is called. The file is here if that would help: http://backspaces.net/files/misc So basically I'm trying to add an existing file to the project and although the name shows in the drawer just fine, double clicking on it does not put it in the tabs or edit pane. Note that the file works fine outside of the project .. i.e. if I execute "mate misc" from the terminal, I get a new window with the file showing correctly. I suspect I'm doing something dumb but..any help appreciated! -- Owen Owen Densmore http://backspaces.net - http://redfish.com - http://friam.org

Documentation: tell the world!

by Freek Dijkstra

Hi, I'm new on the list, so sorry for stating the obvious. The documentation of TextMate is terrible. <rant> After using TextMate for some time, and struggling with many features, a collegue pointed that there is some documentation at http://macromates.com/doc/ However, there is no link to this URL. Please make a link to this page from the home page. Now, please. Thanks. What? You haven't done so? Stop reading then! Please do it *NOW*, before other people waste their precious time. I had to find the function of multiple functions (e.g. how DragCommands work, that they only work with file, not URL's, how tab triggers work, etc. etc.) by Googling and reading earlier posts on the mailing list. I really could have saved a lot of time if I knew earlier that there was some documentation out there. In fact I strongly recommend to add a menu item in the Help menu which directly links to this documentation, and release a minor update :-) </rant> I just started reading the docs, and here is some first comments: Please change the order of the paragraphs "Selecting Text" and "Editing modes" on the "Working with Text" page. "Editing Modes" discusses the column mode, which was introduced in "selecting text", so the later paragraph must come first. In the current order, the "Editing Modes" was hard to comprehend. Regards, Freek Dijkstra PS: This is a re-sent; my original posting seems to be rejected because the list software was a bit slow, and thought I wasn't on the list yet. Sorry if you get this twice.

Request: newline differentiation

by Paul Bissex

Are there any plans for, or any interest in, making it easier to see and set the newline style of open files? Right now it seems you can control this only through the Preferences dialog, and there's no at-a-glance way to tell (or change) what newline style an open file is actually using. The absence of this bit me last night, when I made changes to someone's PHP file that had been saved with Mac newlines. I had added some HEREDOC-quoted text, and the script started throwing parsing errors which completely stumped me until I opened the file in Some Other Text Editor and saw that it was using Mac newlines. A newline type selector/indicator in the bottom bar is the most obvious thing to do (it might even be combined with the spaces/tabs popup), but I'm sure there are other ways to do it as well. Possible? thanks pb -- Paul Bissex http://e-scribe.com/news/ Northampton MA USA 01061-0847

Suggestion for files panel..

(I just switched to a mac a few months ago). i'd like to see an option to sort folders first in the files panel. I am not sure how possible this is with the cocoa controls Another suggestion (and I think it was already purposed) is to be able to double click on folder names.

multi-row tabs

Macro Recording Bug / Inconsistency

by Kevin Cox

I've been using the macro below on my laptop with TextMate for quite a while, and just realized I didn't have it on my G5. I went to record it and ended up having a terrible time. It seems that with newer versions of textmate (I couldn't tell you which version I was on when I recorded it on my laptop) when you record the macro below, it adds an "insert text" command with whatever tag has been inserted. The macro: In an HTML document, type < (it inserts <>, but ignore that), now do: 1) Automation / Start Macro Recording 2) Backwards delete (to delete <, which also removes >) 3) Automation / Insert Closing Tag 4) Automation / Stop Macro Recording Now save this macro, give it key equivalent /, and here's the sneaky part: set the scope to: text.html invalid.illegal.incomplete The scope controls when the macro should "fire", and if you press ctrl-shift P inside <>, you'll see the scope of that position, which is what's quoted above. So only inside <> will / fire this macro, which first removes the <> and then inserts the closing tag. In newer versions, instead of just coming out with deleteBackward: insertClosingTag: it also adds insertText: </html> (or whichever tag you happened to be closing) I was able to open up the recorded macro in the Property List Editor and remove the third command, but that is not a very elegant solution. This was working properly in the past! -Kevin

Symbol popup

by Graeme Mathieson

Hi, I suspect you're going to say 'no, it's a limitation of the way the parsing is done', but would it be possible to collapse white space in the display of symbols? See the attached example. The file itself has these items being split by a newline and indentation... Actually, on a related note, it would be really nice if the auto- indentation would behave in the way I want it to for indented function arguments. That is, if I hit enter inside an open bracket, the next line should be indented to one beyond the open bracket on the previous line. And when the corresponding closed bracket happens, the indentation should revert to what it was before. As an example: tickets = self.sql.listTickets(ticket_id = id, /* Caret should be placed at the '/' of this comment. */ support_of = 123, account = 'foo(a)acmewidgets.example') /* Caret should be placed at the '/' of this comment. */ Is it possible to do this? -- Mail: mathie(a)woss.name | Web: http://woss.name/ AIM: Math1e | PGP: 1024D/D72F2737

Colour Printing

by Dave Winter

I do a lot of coursework for University in Textmate - which means I'm always printing out my code for marking.

Is there any chance Textmate could support colour printing and also being able to set the text size and font? Dave Winter http://commanderbond.net

The best outliner to my tastes that I've found so far is Vim's excellent outliner mode. http://vimoutliner.org/ It does that vim 2-keystrokes-and-you've-rearranged-the-furniture thing to a tee (tea? T?). There's also a unix tool called hnb (not sure if it's on OS X): http://hnb.sourceforge.net/Links/ My question is, does anyone here on this list use, or hope / intend to use, TextMate as an outliner? I mean, you could almost use the drawer alone, but that kind of inverts the plain text thing (plain file nodes, anyone?) has anyone got any ideas on how TM could be scripted / used as-is / etc to facilitate use as an outliner? I only get to use TM / OS X at home (working on it though ..), so any advice from more practiced TM users appreciated. cheers, David

TextMate opening Spotlight results

by Daniel Vollmer

Hi all! Is it possible that whenever TM is invoked from a Spotlight query, it automatically jumps (when present) to the first occurrence of the search term(s)? I've had a look at Apple's documentation on the developer site, but not found any information on whether it's possible, although Preview.app certainly does it for PDF documents. Thanks, Daniel.

Automagically figuring out tab size?

by Graeme Mathieson

Hi, I don't suppose it would be possible for Textmate to make an attempt to 'guess' the tab size (and whether the file is using hard/soft tabs) when a file is opened? I often wind up editing other people's code and, usually, they wind up using something other than 'soft tabs: 2'. So I regularly have to fiddle with the tab size to make things match up nicely. ISTR a previous editor I've used, WingIDE[1], having this feature, and it was really handy... And no, that's not an 'every other editor does it' -- it's the only time I've seen that feature, but it was really useful! Oh, even better! I'm looking at the code for Typo just now, and it's not even consistent throughout the code! In fact most of it is 'soft tabs: 2', just views/articles/taglist.rhtml (the first one I happened to want to edit) that's using hard tabs...

Verilog language bundle

by Jeff DuMonthier

There is no bundle for Verilog HDL, but it has a lot in common with C and Pascal, so I duplicated the C language and have been hacking on that to get the syntax coloration mostly working. I've run into a bit of trouble with the constant expression syntax though. In Verilog constants have this form: 8'b00100011 (8 bit binary) 6'o35 (6 bit octal) 12'h3A2 (12 bit hex) The initial number is optional, so 'b10110 would be a 5 bit binary constant. In addition to numbers, z and ? can also appear sometimes to indicate high impedance or indeterminate values. I've tried the following syntax for the binary constants: ...|([0-9]*)\'b[0-1zZ\?]*)|... When I hit the test button it highlights everything from the b on. I'm guessing it is not able to escape the single quote. I've also tried escaping the b as well and it didn't make any difference. Is there a way around this? Is there somewhere I can find the detailed syntax rules for the matching expressions and bundles in general? I did a quick look through the WIKI and didn't see anything obvious.

Problems with Xcode import and referenced projects?

Styling the drawer in line with the theme

by Matt Mower

Hi, I am a big fan of the Sunburst theme (thanks Soryu). I like it because it has a black background with lots of contrast and a crisp feel to it. I really hate white backgrounds for editing. So it spoils the editing experience a little then the way the drawer stands so starkly "black on white" right next to my editing surface. Would it be possible to include styling of the drawer (and maybe other TxMt elements such as the tab bar) in a Theme? Regards, Matt -- Matt Mower :: http://matt.blogs.it/

Markdown symbol list idea

by Charilaos Skiadas

I just had a little idea for a symbol list in markdown, and thought other people might be interested in it. I wanted to get the symbol list to show the first 8 or so words of each paragraph, kind of like a mini summary. You can accomplish this by creating a new preferences file, pasting the following code in it and setting its scope to: "text.html.markdown markup.paragraph" /* preferences */ { showInSymbolList = '1'; symbolTransformation = 's/^([A-Z](([^ \t]*[ \t]*){1,8})).*$/$1/g;'; } This is supposed to only pick lines that start with a capital letter. For some reason though, it doesn't. Any ideas? Haris

smart typing - can it be smarter or type less? :)

by porneL

I generally like smart typing feature, but it gets in the way sometimes. For example if I want to add parens around expression, I often just get () before it (if expression starts with ! or $). It's horror when I need to change double quotes to single quotes. I end up having something like: "'""'" Is it possible to configure it to work only when there is whitespace/EOL ahead of cursor? Or to disable it for cases I mentioned above? I don't want to disable it completly and I don't want to add symbols to word characters list. -- regards, porneL

Text Encoding Support

by Kelvin Tse

Hi, Will there be more text encoding support? Like for Japanese(Shift- JIS), Chinese(GB-2312) or Korean? I think this issue has been bought up before, but it didn't get my attention until lately. I have been working on websites in different language: Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and it was a horrible experience. I had to add some pages to the existing websites, so i can't really changed all the text encoding to unicode. Also, I have been told that there are some missing characters in unicode for Japanese, so even the government won't use that. My nightmare stopped when bbedit came to rescue, it supposed all of the text encoding I need. But then I want to stick to Textmate, and, well, bbedit is simply far too expensive! My guess is that I will need to maintain those websites in the future, so it will be great to see textmate supporting more text encoding! Thanks Kelvin

Stray whitespace

by Matt Mower

Hi folks, I quite often seem to find stray whitepsace at the end of my lines when I'm editing Ruby code. I'm reasonably certain that I'm not going around adding a tab here or there to the end of lines (it's not every line). It doesn't seem to be harmful but, as a neat freak, I find it distressing. I assume that it's TxMt that's adding it because I can't think where else it can be coming from. Does anyone else see this? Does anyone know how to stop it? Regards, Matt -- Matt Mower :: http://matt.blogs.it/

Switch font with hotkey

by Andreas Wahlin

I work in either 9 points monaco or 12 points anti-aliased monaco, is it possible to switch between these two with a simple hotkey? (also, to be really perfect, I'd like it to switch themes because I disable all bold and italics in my favourite themes because of 9 points monaco, but they look good with 12 points and so ideally I should switch between two themes as well, I think this can be done but I'm not entirely sure how) Andreas

Improving SymbolPopup for LaTeX?

by Horst Gutmann

Hi :) Sorry, if this has already been this discussed, but I couldn't find anything related. I'm looking for a way to alter the appearance of let's say subsection headers in the Symbol Popup. Normally these would appear the same way as would sections. So I want to have subsections be slightly intended as for example class methods are in Python language bundle. My problem now is, I couldn't yet find out how this is achieved there :) I'd really appreciate any help on this matter :) Best wishes, Horst "zeroK" Gutmann http://weblog.zerokspot.com
