updated command-line-tool

by Eric Hsu

Okay, somebody had the brilliant and easy idea of adding a little 'Hit RETURN' kludge to allow use of TM with svn and other external editing. So I tweaked the command line tool I posted and added a better help listing and a -w to have it block until the user hits RETURN. I have used it successfully to check it into SVN and use TM to write the comment. The little pleasures! :) You can get it at <http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Scripts/tm>. If you need this tool, you don't need my help installing it... best, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: [TxMt] Feature request: "see" like SubEthaEdit

by Eric Hsu

1. I have appended a shell script that launches TM and allows piped input. I did not write the script; in fact, I merely found it in my ~/bin directory and thought that it came with the standard TM install. The -c option lets you create a new file. It does lack the crucial 'don't quit until editing is done' feature. Here are three kludges I can think of to get that feature. Given a -wait flag: a. add a block at the end of the script that creates a $TM_FILE.lock in the same directory and checks every N seconds for the .lock file. When it's gone, quit the script. Then create a command that saves current file and deletes the .lock file. Finally, write a little macro that saves, closes the window and runs the 'delete .lock' command. In a future version of TM that triggers scripts/commands on events, one can avoid the command and macro, and have 'Close Window' trigger the deletion of the lock file. b. have the shell script loop and check for changes to the modification date on the file. Unfortunately, that means it will quit on the first save. But you don't need any fiddling with macros and commands. c. call the Textmate Service from a (different) shell script. The TM Service definitely blocks whatever app calls it. In other contexts this might be a bug, but here it's great. However, I don't know how to pipe text to a Cocoa Service from the command line. This may be rather hard.

split view

by Andreas Bueler

Hi guys, is there a way to split a page in 2 views? Nice, when working with a lot of properties in a class. So I can have all the properties show up in one view, while working on other parts in the class. It would also be nice to have a split view with two different files. Like classfile1 on top and classfile2 on the bottom. Best Regards, Andy

View Man Page in Safari command

This gets more interesting once we have a way to direct HTML to the preview window. Another thing that would be nice: command execution from URLs, which would allow the references to other man pages to work. But there are -- of course -- security implications to that feature. Perhaps if it only works in the preview window, not system-wide. ruby -e " def error( message ) %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{message}\" end tell END } end def ask(question, answer = '$TM_SELECTED_TEXT') %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{question}\" default answer \"#{answer}\" set answername to text returned of the result do shell script (\"/bin/echo \" & answername) end tell END} end error('Xcode tools must be installed to view man pages') if not File.exist?('/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman') name = ask('Display man page for which command?') name.chomp! temptemp = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.TMmantemp} temphtml = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.html} %x{man #{name} > #{temptemp}} # generate HTML and open it if successfully found the entry if not \$?.success? then # puts 'No manual entry for ' + name %x{open -a TextMate &} # switch back to TextMate else %x{cat #{temptemp} | \"/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman\" -fHTML > #{temphtml}} %x{open #{temphtml}} end "

Pattern name available as a shell variable? (re: PHP code-completion)

by Ian

Hi, I'm currently rewritiing the php code completion thingy, and I'd like it to be scope sensitive. To find the scope at the cursor I can use the file as stdin, and work it out myself. But it struck me that I'd be able to work some things out based on the current pattern applications (like 'Embedded PHP', and being in quotes). So a couple of questions. * could we have a variable $TM_PATTERN_NAME which gives the current pattern name? * would there be a way to access patterns names 'higher up'? (like 'Embedded PHP')? I'm wanting to figure out the scope because I'm implementing scope sensitive completion, including completions based on your own code. Any comments, advice, much appreciated. Ian White

Asian language input methods

by Jonathon Delacour

Having just returned to the Macintosh after eight years of using Windows (and TextPad), one of the first applications I installed was TextMate. Twenty minutes later, when I'd piped my first text through markdown.pl and created my first tab-activated snippets, I was already happy to pay the license fee. However, I then found it wasn't possible to enter Japanese text. The list archives revealed that Kazuo Saito had already raised this issue (http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-December/001824.html) and that Allan Odgaard had promised a fix: > I can't give an ETA on when this will be fixed, but I can imagine it's > frustrating for those who rely on these input methods, so I'll try not > to have “the fix” pending for too long. I appreciate that perhaps only a tiny minority of TextMate users need to work with Asian languages but was hoping that it might be possible to give an approximate ETA on when this will be fixed. I really don't want to waste time looking for an alternative to TextMate. Thanks, Jonathon Delacour

Changing Tab-Behavior

by Andreas Bueler

Hi, I'm new to the list, so please forgive me, if this has being asked before. Is it possible to change the tab behavior of TextMate? For example I find it strange that single line intending to the right works correctly (using tabs), but if you try to tab back to the left site, it is using spaces instead of tabs. It would also be great to change the behavior of multi line tabbing. I'm so used to use the tab key to intend to the right and "apple key" together with the tab key to move lines to the left. But if I do that, the lines I would like to intend, are deleted. (I hope you understand what I mean.. sorry for my english) Other then that I really like TextMate. Kind Regards, Andy Switzerland

filtering command with CocoaDialog

by Eric Hsu

hi folks, Another tip I thought I'd share. I often have situations where I have to discard all lines in a file that start with a number, or other cleanup tasks like that. Now, you can use TM's Text>Filter Through Command... and then use grep or grep -v. But I have a hard time remembering grep's regexp format. It's already all I can do to remember TM's and Perl's. So I wanted to write a command to pop up a GUI input field so I could enter in a Perl regexp for lines to match with two buttons so I could either Keep only the matching lines or Discard the matching lines. So what I did was toss together a quick script in Perl and use CocoaDialog as a front-end. To use this, you need to download CocoaDialog from <http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/download.html>, and put it in /Applications. (If you don't like that place, change the path in the script.) If you don't have a need for this script, you still might be able to get some mileage out of CocoaDialog. It is a simple way to get GUI onto any script that talks to the command-line. It has a number of different window formats. Pashua is neat, but it requires use-ing a module, and Platypus is more for creating drag-and-drop things. good luck, Eric --- TM Command. Before: nothing Command: my$CD="/Applications/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog";my$rv=`$CD inputbox --title "Filter with Regexp" --no-newline \\ --informative-text "Filter lines matching this Perl regular expression:" \\ --text "" \\ --button1 "Keep" --button2 "Discard" \\ --width 500`;my($button_rv,$term)=split/\n/,$rv,2;while(<STDIN>){if($button_rv==2){unless(/$term/){print;}}elsif($button_rv==1){if(/$term/){print;}}} Stdin: selected Stdout: replace selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

YAIT (Yet Another Icon Thread)

I posted another set of icons to the wiki today, but I'll announce it here. They are more in line (I think) with aqua-style editor icons (pages and pen), and they use a lot of ideas garnered from the list archives. There are six colors in the disk image, so hopefully you will find one you like, and they all have been designed to degrade gracefully (48 is less detailed so it's not burry and 32 and 16 are even more so).

Re: [TxMt] LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

>If using LaTeXTidy.pl and your LaTex Tidy bundle command, were should >LaTeXTidy.pl be placed. I tried usr/local/bin but that did not work. >Should I place it inside the bundle itself. First, make sure it's set to execute (chmod +x LaTeXTidy.pl). Then either place it in your PATH and call it as LaTeXTidy.pl or put it somewhere you like, e.g. /usr/local/bin/LaTeXTidy.pl and call it with its full path in the command. I hope that works! If you put it in the same bundle as the command, then call it with wither the full path if you know it, or with "$TM_BUNDLE_PATH"/LaTeXTidy.pl if you think you might move it someday. Good luck, Eric ps. Backup your documents! Check! This works for me, but you should be cautious.

syntax color schemes

by Brian Lalor

I'd like to play around a bit with an alternative light-on-dark color scheme for my bundles, but, in the same way that I can't draw a straight line with a ruler (but can appreciate architecture) I am completely inept at picking text colors that have high contrast and look good (but I know them when I see them). I know someone (or someones) whipped up a C bundle with a light-on-dark scheme, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought I might start by looking at that, but what might be better is if someone could point me to a resource that had examples of high-contrast color schemes for text highlighting. :-) Anyone?

LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

Here is a little command I've written (as usual, a wrapper around a Perl script), which naively tries to indent your LaTeX file intelligently. If it succeeds, there are two good side effects. First, your file looks nicer. Second, your file foldings work correctly, as TM is cued by the indentation. Good luck. Check the file, if you use it. It works for me, your mileage may vary. I've appended the one-liner version. Since it is a blob of line noise, I also have a link to the latest version of the uncompressed Perl, which is at <http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Latex.tmbundle/LaTeXTidy.…> You can put that somewhere and write a command to call it instead. I suspect anyone with issues with the folding could customize this script for their language if necessary. I know PerlTidy and HTMLTidy exist. I couldn't find a TeXTidy, so I wrote this last year... - Eric -- Before: Nothing STDIN: Entire STDOUT: Replace doc Command: perl -e 'my$in;while(<STDIN>){$in.=$_;}my@keywords=qw( appendix author bibliography bigskip chapter date def document evensidemargin font headheight headsep include index make new noindent oddsidemargin page paragraph part ragged renew section subsection subsubsection subsubsubsection table textheight textwidth title topmargin use vfil);$in=~s/\%(.*?)\n/\n\n\%$1\n\n/g;my@pieces=split(/\n\s*\n/,$in);my$string,$keyword;foreach(@pieces){if(/^\s*\%/){$string.=$_."\n";next;}s/\s+/ /g;foreach$keyword(@keywords){s/(\\$keyword)/\n$1/g;}s/([^\\]\%)/\n$1/g;s/(\\begin\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\end\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\item)(.*?)(\\item)/$1$2\n$3/g;s/(\\item)/\n$1/g;s/[^\\](\\\[)/\n$1/g;s/(\\\])/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\)\s/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\\[)(.*?)(\])\s/$1$2$3\n/g;s/\n\s*\n/\n/g;s/^\n//;chomp;$string.=$_."\n\n";}$string=~s/\n\s+\n/\n\n/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(end)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(begin)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\\end)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;$string=~s/(\\begin)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;@pieces=split(/\[\n\n\n\]/,$string);my$indent=1;my@lines;my$piece,$i;$string="";foreach$piece((a)pieces){$piece=~s/\{\n\n\n\}//g;$piece=~/^\\(.*?)\{/;if(lc($1)eq"begin"){$indent++;}else{$indent--;}@lines=split(/\n/,$piece);foreach(@lines){s/^\s+//;if(/^\\begin/i){for($i=1;$i<=$indent-1;$i++){$string.="\t";}}else{for($i=1;$i<=$indent;$i++){$string.="\t";}}$string.=$_."\n";}}print$string;'

Could we change the menu under which macros/snippets/commands are shown?

by Chris Brierley

I love the new mode-based menu interface for macros/snippets/commands. What I'd really love is if I could control which mode menu they show up in. For example, I've made a couple of commands that are related to HTML. However, since I've made them myself, they show up under the "Custom" menu, when I'd really like them to be under "HTML". Maybe, like with the syntax files, a "mode" key could be added to the macros/snippets/commands plist files where I could specify which mode they should be a part of? What do you think? Thanks much.

Turn off auto-indent?

by Brian Smith

Wow--I use TextPad daily on my PC at work and always wished there was a text editor like it for the Mac where I could easily switch between documents with tabs. And the ability to call a shell script to do a word count or any other UNIX command and have the output appear as a tooltip, new window, or whatever you want--brilliant, and really easy to use. This is probably the first time I've wished TextPad could do some things a Mac editor can do, and not vice versa. There's only one seemingly minor thing that's keeping me from buying TextMate right now and retiring Tex-Edit Plus--TextMate's auto-identing feature, where if I have a paragraph of text (not code), it automatically inserts a tab on the next line when I hit return. This drives me nuts because while I use my Mac editor for HTML at times, I mainly use it to write documents that have normal indented paragraphs of text. At the end of a paragraph in a word processor or email program I'm conditioned to hit return, then hit tab for the next paragraph--so having TextMate indent the next paragraph automatically just means I end up with two tabs. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off auto-indenting of new lines, or is that a feature being considered for a future release? If there is a way to turn that off and I just can't find it, I apologize for being an idiot in advance...anyway, thanks to the developer for creating this, keep up the good work, -Brian

Re: [TxMt] properties parser?

by Eric Hsu

>I would like to automate some customization for some bundles (as >colors), is the format in those .plist files standard (for instance >Perl.plist)? If it is and you wanted to search for a parser for some >programming language which keyword would you use? If you are asking whether the 'names' of each color class (e.g. Comments) in the .plist is standard across the bundles, I'd say it would be a miracle if they were, since they were all hacked by individuals who wanted their favorite language colored. On the other hand, it might be possible for people to agree to use keywords in their names so the XML could be parsed and the color settings could be custom set by a big regexp search and replace. For the record, BBEdit 8 recognizes the following colors for customization: General: Foreground, Background Guide Contrast [the color of non-page window] Custom Highlight Color: Primary, Secondary Highlight Insertion Point Line Color Source Code: Keywords, String Constants, Comments HTML Tags: General, Processing Instructions, Anchor, Image, Names, Values TM bundles generally have more colors than that. But if Bundle writers could agree on a reasonable base set and rename their names, that could go a long way towards making the colors customizable before Allan gets his next solution done. Allan may have to set standards like this anyway, unless he writes a small GUI Syntax File browser that displays the Names with a little Color Picker patch. That would be fabulous, of course. - Eric

Re: [TxMt] fugu prob

This is a known problem with Launch Services. Basically, any new application (or new version of) needs to become "trusted" by the OS before other applications can "see" it. To make an application "trusted" you must double click one of its documents, then you'll be presented with an alert from the OS that you "are opening this for the first time" blah blah. From that point, the application is "trusted". As a little advertisement, Yummy FTP works around this problem :-) Hope that helps.

PHP Command Completion bug

Hello, Greame Merrall pointed out to me that the lookup aspect of the phpcc tool (http://ian.ardes.com/phpcc) was not working quite right (thanks Graeme). The problem is that the manual page lookup does not work when the current function has been expanded from a partial word. To fix this change line 19 of phpcc.php to: storeLookupWord($matching[0]); I'm hoping to release a new version of this soon, with some more features, and with an easier installation process.

properties parser?

by Xavier Noria

I would like to automate some customization for some bundles (as colors), is the format in those .plist files standard (for instance Perl.plist)? If it is and you wanted to search for a parser for some programming language which keyword would you use? -- fxn

opening files in TM

by Tim Martens

How do I get all my txt, html, css, php, js, rb, and sql files to open in textmate by default on OSX? It seems some of these extensions have been hijacked and I don't know how to remap them globally. I'm a fairly recent "switcher." -t

This would be the equivalent of a flag on the regexp of searching across newlines. FYI, I had this exact issue and here is the command I wrote to work around it. Basically, I put pdflatex into a nonstop mode and pipe it through a script to erase any newline that isn't part of multiple newlines. Then I figure out the name of the resulting .pdf file and open it in Preview. It works pretty well and it catches in a 'jumpable way' most of the errors and warnings that pdflatex produces. I leave it to others to customize the path to pdflatex... Preview has an annoying habit of not refreshing files when they are re-opened; otherwise this would be a complete replacement for TexShop.

new Java bundle

by Lang Riley

Hi All, I packed up all my java snippets and commands and integrated them with the nice syntax and template stuff that already existed in the Java bundle. Attached you will find a tarred and gziped Java.tmbundle. It adds a truckload of capabilities. Just slap it in one of the appropriate directories that TextMate looks in for bundles and tar xvfz Java.tmbundle.tar.gz, restart TextMate and fly! Allan, I would like to get this shipping with TextMate if you are interested. I think a lot of Java programmers would enjoy this stuff. Lang Riley

Catching Error messages

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, I love the way TextMate allows me to catch errors from the output and make them clickable, so that I can quickly correct them. But I think this process can be improved even more with two requests: - Allow for multi-line captures: (pdf)latex produces quite verbose errormessages that almost always are on two lines. I haven't been able to get TextMate to catch both lines and let me see it back in the overview. - If TextMate could also jump to the place in the output where the error was produced, it would be great, because context is often important in finding the cause of the error and it's very hard to define regexps to grasp all those things. Thanks, Jeroen.

useful java commands

by Lang Riley

Command purpose: Do a reasonably valiant attempt to locate all senders of a particular message/method within the project. Usage: Highlight the method name, excluding the parameter portion of the method signature, and execute this command. It will search across all source in your project and return a clickable list of method invocations. It doesn't work perfectly, but it often works very satisfactorily. Example, you would like to find all the places where public void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) is used, simply highlight handleRequest and execute the command which will bring up a window with links to these occurrences. Command: grep -rn "\.$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding all declarations of a particular method within the project. Usage: Same as above. Command: grep -rn "[ ]$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding a class definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight DispatcherServlet and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command: egrep -rns "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding an interface definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight Dispatcher (assuming it is an interface) and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command: egrep -rns "interface[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Open a window listing all the methods found in a particular class. assuming the class containing the method definitions exists in the project. Usage: Highlight the class name for which you would like to search, then execute the command. This will bring up a window, no links sorry, that lists the method signature for each of the methods local to that class, i.e., non-inherited methods. I find this useful when I quickly want to find what methods are available without having to search for the file or read documentation. cat `egrep -rnsl "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" .` | egrep "public[ ]+\<.*\>[ ]+\<.*\>$.*$[ ]+(throws .*|){" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Enjoy, Lang Riley

useful java snippets to share

by Lang Riley

Below are some useful java snippets and their explanations that I created. I will try to take the time later to add them to the wiki: Snippet result: Create a class in java with auto-generated package name, author, date, class name. Usage: For the autogeneration of the package you should create your class file in its proper location, e.g., org.foo.bar.Batz.java would be created in the directory bar which is a subdirectory of foo and org directories. The autogeneration of package name and classname also assumes that your class package directory structure has as its parent directory a directory named 'src'. You can of course change that in the third call to sed for both the package name and the class name. Trigger: jcl (or whatever you want to trigger it with) Snippet: ${1:package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`}; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${9:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public class ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} ${3:extends} $4 ${5:implements} $6${7:,}$8 { $0 } Snippet result: Create a private scoped variable. Not that useful, but heh, it is here if you want it. Usage: No explanation necessary. Trigger: jpv private ${1:String} $2; $0 Snippet result: Create a public scoped method Usage: No special comments. Pretty straight forward. Trigger: jpum Snippet: /** * $2 * * @param $4 $5 * ${6:@return} $7 */ public ${1:void} $2(${3:String} $4) { $0 } Snippet result: Create an if statement with guard comment Usage: Trigger: jif Snippet: if ($1) { // $2 $0 } Snippet result: Create a privately scoped method. Usage: Trigger: jpm Snippet: /** * $2 * * @param $4 $5 * ${6:@return} $7 */ private ${1:void} $2(${3:String} $4) { $0 } Snippet result: Create a while statement with guard comment Usage: Trigger: jwh Snippet: while ($1) { // $2 $0 } Snippet result: Create a try/catch/finally block Usage: Trigger: jtc Snippet: try { $2 } catch ($1 e) { $3 } finally { $0 } Snippet result: Create a class variable/constant. Usage: Trigger: jps Snippet: private static final ${1:String} $2 = "$0"; Snippet result: Create an if/else statement with guard comments Usage: Trigger: jelse Snippet: if ($1) { // $2 $0 } else { // $3 } Snippet result: Create the package imports and instantiation code for using jakarta commons logging package. Usage: I would suggest executing the snippet in the import area of you class definition and then cut/pasting the instantiation code to the private member variable declaration area. Trigger: jlog Snippet: import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; /** Logger for this class and subclasses */ protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); Snippet result: Create a JUnit TestCase subclass for unit testing. Auto-generates the package name and the proper imports for the class that will be tested. Usage: Assumes JUnit unit test class naming convention is followed whereby if a class named UserDao is being unit tested, the unit test class would be named UserDaoTests.java and would be located in a parallel directory structure analogous to its package name. Also assumes, as is standard convention, that unit test packages have as their parent directory 'test' and the classes which they test have the parent directory of 'src'. For example, UserDao.java would be located, let's say, in src/org/foo/bar/dao/ and its unit test class, UserDaoTests.java, would be in test/org/foo/bar/dao/. Of course, if you don't work that way, you can message the regular expressions to suite your environment. Trigger: jtest Snippet: package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`; import junit.framework.TestCase; import `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//'`; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${4:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public class ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} extends TestCase { private ${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; public ${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} get${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`}() { return this.${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; } public void set${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`}(${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}) { this.${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`} = ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; } public void test$8() { $0 } } Snippet result: Create public getter/setter pair for a private instance variable. This really comes in handy if you do a lot of dependency injection style development, for bean properties. Usage: Trigger: jprops Snippet: public $1 get$2() { return this.$3; } public void set$2($1 $3) { this.$3 = $3; } Snippet result: Create a JSTL output statement for jsp code. Usage: Trigger: jcout Snippet: <c:out value="\${$1}"/>$0 Snippet result: Create an interface definition with autogenerated package name, interface name, author name, and date. Usage: Same as the usage for the java class snippet. Trigger: jid Snippet: ${1:package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`}; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${3:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public interface ${4:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} { $0 } Hope it helps someone, it sure has saved me a ton of typing.

Commands with AppleScript question ???

by Mats Persson

I've been trying to get into the habit of using CVS, so I have created a few TM command scripts that performs the basic CVS shell commands. HOW do I convert the text returned from a Finder display dialog script into a shell variable ???? sort of like this: osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" display dialog \"mxCVS::Commit Message\" default answer theDefaultAnswer buttons {\"Cancel\", \"OK\"} default button 2 set the theMessage to the text returned of the result end tell" $CVSmsg = output from the above AS script I'm having a bug problem with the Applescript execution of "do shell script", as AS can't somehow access $CVSROOT from .bash_profile or even from /etc/profile which really pisses me off. Every other aspect of CVS works OK, but not through AS. Kind regards, Mats

TextMate 1.1b1

by Allan Odgaard

I wanted to have a beta out before the new year, so it's now available :) I'm 'announcing' it since it turns out the automatic version check was broken around 1.0.2b8 or so, in that it doesn't schedule a check before the preferences window has opened. So just open the preferences, and you should be told about it (if beta versions are included in the check). This bug actually lead to interesting statistics, because I can correlate number of downloads with number of version checks (based on IP address) and estimate how many actually open the preferences, which is ~25%. Beta 1 is btw only a minor update, as December wasn't my most productive month. But it does feature mode-dependent lookup for snippets and macros, which I think is rather cool :)

That's true too; it would be great to someday have undo in the textbox. And maybe even commands! :) Maybe instead of my suggestion there could be a little button on the Find/Replace box that says Undo Last Replace? 2. PDF Webkit already gives you PDF viewing for free, if you have Schubert's PDF Plugin (doesn't everyone?) For instance, you can enter in the url of a PDF file in TM's web preview and view PDFs right now. I just need a way to tell TM to show a PDF in the web preview. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

three small feature requests

by Eric Hsu

A few small requests for this marvelous editor. 1. Allow undo from find/replace dialog. Lots of times I enter in the wrong regular expression and the find/replace goes badly. I want to hit apple-Z and Undo it and fire up another search, but instead I have to switch to the text window. 2. It would be great if the new ( :) ) txmt: resource locator allows us to load things like txmt://a.pdf, which would then get loaded into the web preview window. Reason: I want to hack up a replacement for TeXShop within TM. Already you can make a command to have pdftex create a .pdf output file and open it in Preview. I'd like it to show up in TM! It would feel cleaner that way. 3. Allow syntax files to be reloaded. Then we could edit them within TM and see the results without quitting and restarting. best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Undo should accumulate contiguous input

by David Tolpin

Hi, a common practice is to let Undo undo all characters entered during last stroke (that is, not interrupted by movements or other operations (find/replace/search) at once. That is, If I type a few words, then press Option-Z, I expect all the words to disappear, not one letter at a time. This is the way undo works in most environments, including emacs, vi, TextEdit, AppleWorks, sam, acme, Word ... David
