howdy,
i just stumbled upon TextMate while looking for a native development
text editor and am _very_ impressed with it's featureset and believe i
will be purchasing soon.
i am wondering, however, if there is anyone out there who has
developed (or _loves_ to develop ;)) a syntax highlighting plist /
bundle for the Velocity Template Language
(http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/vtl-reference-guide.html)? i am
terrible with regular expressions unfortunately, so i'm not having
much luck with it. it's basically a dynamic language like php or asp
and is mainly used in web (html type) files which can include css,
javascript, xml / xsl etc.... the best / closest type i've found to
work is the ASP style. it's _very_ close but would like to have
certain things highlighted differently and it's missing (obviously
since it's a different language) a bunch of declarations. i am
desperate for this type of highlighting.
if anyone is interested in helping me out, i could send an example
file that includes javascript, xml / xsl, css and Velocity markup. any
takers??
thanx in advance, jamal
Hi,
I'm attaching the compile script I use, or actually combination of scripts.
The compile script expects to get nothing as input and discards its output,
and the 'save active file before running command' thing should be on. The
command that runs it is:
compile-tm "$TM_FILEPATH" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
Two points:
- This reports on how things went via Growl---and it doesn't check if you
have it installed---so if you don't use it, you might want to go into the
'compile-report' script and change the Growl stuff to something else, like
maybe an AppleScript dialog box. (Just redirecting the output of the script
to a tooltip won't work without serious additional fiddling.)
- This tries to preview using TeXniscope.
The typeset script works analogously. I'm also attaching a script that goes
to the next TeX error by looking at the output file and piloting TM via
AppleScript (which is a bit slow and causes the 'go to line' dialog box to
appear briefly), and one that compiles the current selected text (but
requires the whole document as input).
Hope some of this might be of some use... It's not particularly earth-
shattering, but works OK for me.

Hi!
I would like to be able to do this in TM
1. select a .tex-file
2. run a macro that
2.1 selects all text
2.2 runs that text through a "tex-compiler" wich listens to stdin
2.3 pipe the results from the "tex-compiler" to the preview-app (can
this too listen to stdin?) which show me a nice pdf
And if I like the results I can save the .tex-file otherwise not.
The main point here is that I which to see the pdf without having to
save my .tex-file.
Would someone help me with this?
I have an idea on how this is supposed to be done...
1. record a macro (alt-cmd-m)
2. select all text (cmd-a)
3. filter through command (shift-alt-r)
3.1 input: selection
3.2 output: ? discard?
3.3 command: ??? something like "<build pdf> | open -a
/Applications/Preview.app"
I just read that "open" cannot read from stdin so I guess it has to be
some other way around.
Please, I'm really lousy at this stuff.
Help would be much appreciated!
Kindest Regards

Hi,
have you considered installing a web-based bug-tracking system
(bugzilla/RT/gnats/???) so users can submit bug reports and requests
for enhancements? It is much easier to track changes this way.

The file/folder patterns are pretty much the result of evolution :)
I'm aware of the caveat about the preferences not reflecting existing
folder references. Interestingly I actually added this text to the
preferences pane yesterday -- but ideally it should affect non-changed
folder-reference patterns.
> It seems very confusing that there's a preferences pane setting that

They are defaults (as implied by the label), i.e. used when creating
new folder references. But your critique is fair.
I'd like to be able to set my "indentation level" to 4 and leave the
tab stops at 8. That is, if I hit my tab key the cursor should move as
if my tabs stops are set at 4 (any any spaces required should be
added). If there are any actual tab characters in the file, the file
should display as if I had selected 8 as my tab size. (Basically this
is because I edit files that other people have edited using emacs which
"intelligently" uses tabs where it can to fill in sequences of 8
spaces.)
I was playing with the notion of expanding all the tabs to spaces so
that it will display properly even if I have my tab size set to 4, but
I'm afraid this will cause lots of extraneous differences when I check
in my changes to CVS.
Another item is that when I'm working in Tcl I want my indentation
level to be 4 characters. When working in PL/SQL I want it at 8.
(Probably in C or C++ I'd want 2 or 3.)
Allan,
It would be nice if the contextual menu for folders had an option
"Expand All" or some such that would expand all sub folders of the
currently selected folder.
Thanks.
Some features of the "bbedit" command line tool are discussed in this
review of BBEdit 8.0:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/12/21/bbedit.html?CMP=ILC-
macrss&ATT=BBEdit+8.0++A+Developers+Viewpoint
For my taste, the notable bits are:
(1) The '--clean' option for suppressing the 'Do you want to save
changes?' dialog.
(2) The tool is installed from a button in the preferences.
Just some food for thought/discussion for the eventual TextMate
command-line tool.

With the holidays fast approaching and people drifting away from their
desks to do far more entertaining things than write code all day, I
though this was an appropriate time to:
a) wish everyone a very happy Christmas time, if they celebrate the
festival or not ;)
b) offer my thanks again to Allan for providing us with such a great
product. I spend all day, every day working with TextMate and it's the
first time I've actually felt 'at home' coding on the Mac since
switching last January.
That's all really :)
drew.
I'd like to make a bundle with PL/SQL syntax (didn't look like anyone
did that yet), but I don't see how to specify pairs of folding markers.
Here's an example of what's wrong:
PropertyList-Old.plist has these lines:
foldingStartMarker = "(\\{|\\()";
foldingStopMarker = "(\\}|\\))";
But what causes folds on bad blocks like this:
{ # curly brace
) # parenthesis
I'd like to do blocks like these:
IS -> END;
IF -> END IF;
( -> )
etc.
Possible? I see "pairs" of other things are being handled
(e.g.highlightPairs), perhaps we could do this too!
prl
A while back I posted about the possibility of having a history list
for tabs so that you could use a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch to
the last file you were editing. The resolution proposed was to use
drag sorting to locate the files next to each other, and then use tab
navigation to switch back and forth. With only 3 or 4 visible tabs and
many files open, most of my open files are pushed off the tab bar. Can
you drag sort items if they are not currently visible as a tab?
I still think my history list idea has merit. Maybe everyone else is
far more organized, but I've basically devolved to using the mouse and
the project drawer to switch files -- unless I know I am going to be
editing two files side by side for a while, in which case I will close
one -- switch to the other, then open the first one again so that I
know they are side by side.
I realized that this style of working is essentially what I would like
out of the History List that I proposed. In other words, if you
completely ignore the tab bar as a traditional tab bar, it would
function exactly like the history list if -- when switching to a file
from the project drawer, the file acts as if it was not open, and
appears as a tab to the right of the currently open tab.
I fear I did not explain that well, but the idea is simple. When
selecting a file for edit, first close the file, then open it (or
behave as if this was done). If the file is selected from the tab bar,
then leave the behavior as it is. With this behavior, the tab bar
would become a history list, and it would be simple to swap between
files using the already existing tab navigation shortcuts.
Is anyone else overwhelmed by the tab navigation as it stands? This
metaphor works great for something like browsing -- because I can open
up a new window if I have too many tabs already open in the current
window. I hate to keep bringing up emacs-isms, but the switch buffer
commands are very powerful (switch to last buffer, or switch to buffer
by using filename completion). Combine the project drawer with some
sort of history navigation, and I would be very happy.
Thanks,
Wayne
hi folks,
I am startled but gratified at the response to the Un/Comment hack.
I added a number of fixes and options people have been asking for and
packaged it up into a .tmbundle so you don't have to copy in the
hideous Perl 1-liner (but you can... attached below). In the bundle,
I also included the source code, which is released as Niceware.
That's like the Perl Artistic License, except that you have to be
nice to me when you criticize the code.
The bundle lives at <http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate>.
Changes
- I added some options. To invoke them, put them on the command line, e.g.
perl -e '...' "$TM_FILEPATH" first-column comment .tex
- so if you want separate comment/uncomment, make two commands with
one option 'comment' and the other 'uncomment'
- I added a bunch of filetype endings, including the ones in Chris
T's beautiful Ruby script.
- fixed Ollivier Robert's newline bug
- Drew McLellan: I added CSS, but sadly, I can only comment each
line, not the whole thing. I hope that is still useable.
Options
# 'first-column' puts the first comment marker at the line start
# 'comment' always comments (for people who want the smartness, but
not the toggleness)
# 'uncomment' always uncomments. If you foolishly use both comment
and this, comment wins.
# 'comment-whitespace' comments whitespace which we normally skip.
# '.tex' will force the use of TeX style comments. You can substitute
your favorite ending, like '.java' or '.pl'. The leading dot is
important. Last type listed wins.
# 'toggle' changes the comment status line by line. Normally, the
whole thing is a block.
best wishes, Eric

TextMate 1.0.2 writes stuff like this into my console whenever I close
a document window:
2004-12-22 14:31:27.473 TextMate[590] Another workaround for GCC
Any comments on what that's about?
I'm trying to get the ruby version of the (Un)comment command running on
my box, and I'm getting the following error:
/Users/wneuman/Library/Dev/TextMate/comment.rb:1: undefined method
`extname' for File:Class (NameError)
You say that the script requires Ruby 1.8, and I should be fine there as
I've got 1.8.1 installed...
Of course, the amount of Ruby I know would fit handily in my back pocket
-- even if I had stuffed my back pocket full of marbles. handkercheifs,
and gum wrappers beforehand, so I might just be doing something stupid
here. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi,
Here's another feature request: Could you make selecting newline
characters a bit easier?
At the moment it is virtually impossible drag-select some text and the
newline character of a line that is followed by a non-empty line.
For an example of how it could be done better is TextEdit. If you select
a text there and drag a distance past the newline character, the newline
character is also included.
Thanks, Jeroen.
An improvement on my earlier post.
Now you can just execute a portion of your sql the whole thing and jump
to errors:
Before running command: Do nothing
Command: [your path to mysql if not in bash's path environment
variable]/mysql -u[your username here] -p[your password here]
Standard Input: Selected Text or Entire Document
Standard Output: Show in separate window
Pattern: ERROR (\d+) at line (\d+): (.*)
Format String: $3
Line: 2
Here is a command that will compile and jump to the line of the file
with the error:
Before running command: Do nothing
Command: cd [directory where build.xml is located]; ant [your target to
build source];
Standard Input: None
Standard Output: Show in separate window
Pattern: .*/(\w*.java):(\d+):(.*)
Format String: $1 $2 $3
File register: 1 Line: 2
Someone can improve on this to get the column and more error
information too. That would be nice.
Hi folks,
I missed a command from BBEdit that let you comment and uncomment
text magically for different languages with the same keystroke
(Text->Un/Comment), so I wrote a version for TextMate. If there is
enough interest, I will release commented source code and make it
into a nice .tmbundle. It currently only supports perl, php, html,
plist and tex. It is trivial to add support for other languages,
which I'll do on request (or you can easily figure out yourself, I
think... if you do, send me an e-mail so I can update mine!).
If the selection's first line is a comment; if so, it uncomments the
rest of the selection.
If not, it comments the whole selection, line by line. It tries to
keep the selection's indentation.
It parses the filetype from the filename ending to figure out what
are comments. If a language has more than one kind of delimiter pair,
it will use the first pair in the list for commenting, and will
search for all listed pairs for uncommenting. Notice this last
feature improves on BBEdit's Text->Un/Comment functionality. The
delimiters are stored in $a in the format "a,b,c"=>[$first, $last],
where each of the file endings .a, .b and .c will use that delimiter
pair. Roll your own!
This version is actually better than BBEdit's, in my opinion, because
1. it can uncomment many different comment formats for silly
languages like PHP that support several; and
2. it places comment delimiters at the original level of indent (and
not the first column like BB does); and
3. we can all customize it.
Textmate is powerful!
best wishes, Eric

Sometimes you want to execute the SQL contained in the current file via:
Before running command: Do nothing
Command: [your path to mysql if not in bash's path environment
variable]/mysql -u[your username here] -p[your password here] <
"$TM_FILEPATH"
Standard Input: None (because $TM_FILEPATH is specified above; you
could use just selected text too with $TM_SELECTED_TEXT)
Standard Output: Show in separate window
If you have line numbers showing in the gutter you can quickly find any
syntax errors that mysql returns.
Simple. Useful.
After reading peoples comments about ftp programs last week I tried
yummy ftp and I am very close to buying it. I love that I can select a
remote file and hit cmd-B to open it in textmate. Is this the killer
feature people where asking for?
Does anyone else have reviews for this product?
Later,
Eric
PS. I liked it so much I remapped my open in text editor in PathFinder
to cmd-B as well so most of the time I am ready for a quick edit.
I've posted the latest Perl bundle to
http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate/. Changes do not include
recognition of Coffee Services. :)
They do include:
(12-20-04)
Martin Vetter added [] and () to the Perl folding syntax.
__DATA__ now highlights to the end
q qq qw qx quoting is nicer
Noah Daniels submitted bug fix to color POD starting with ^= and
not just ^=head1
Noah Daniels also submitted bug fix for $#foo being counted as a comment.
Known problems: here-docs not quoted, many autoquotes not
highlighted right, e.g. hashkeys in => notation.

Textmate is looking awesome (I just tried it Friday for the first time)
and though I own a copy of BBEdit, I think I may switch. But there are
a couple of things still missing, IMHO.
First, the Perl syntax bundle doesn't handle POD (=begin, =cut, etc.)
yet. I very quickly hacked in support for simply =begin and =cut as
block comments, but it would be ideal if it could do as good a job as
BBEdit's syntax coloring for Perl/POD.
Second, I do miss BBEdit's integration of certain things in its script
menu - 'find in reference' (really just shelling out of perldoc -f) and
'view POD' (just shelling out of perldoc), as well as the ability to
execute in the debugger. It would be nice to be able to, within a
project, execute things like 'perl -d <filename>' and such - or for a
C/C++ program, run it in gdb. I realize this can be done in Textmate
using the Automation->Commands menu, so perhaps what I'm saying is that
a few more built-ins would be nice :)
Finally, for the syntax bundles, the non-uniformity of color schemes
between bundles (I routinely work in projects involving Perl and C
code) could stand to be improved - ideally, a way to graphically change
the colors for the syntax bundles would be nice, too, rather than
editing the bundles. For example, rather than specifying the RGB values
in each syntax plist, have an indirect color code - for example,
"keyword" or "comment" - and then in TextMate have a preference that
allows you to specify colors for all of those, globally.
Anyways, TextMate is looking great. Keep up the good work!

Hi,
Following advice of some people, i'm giving TextMate a try.
There is a feature i don't find in TextMate: hard wrapping. I'm
editing big XML files and i've not figured how to automatically cut
the lines when they reach the right column.
I know about Soft Wrap, but i don't want to use it as the document
will be sent to people who are using different text editors: i don't
want they see a paragraph as a single long long line.
In fact, i'm a Emacs user and i need something like 'auto-fill-mode' :
when the line reaches the right margin, Emacs insert a newline.
To achieve the same thing with TextMate, the only way i've found so
far is to reformat the paragraph or the selection, which is not very
productive.
Is there something to automate this process or should i live with it?
Best regards,
--
Jaco
Please consider at some point changing the soft wrapping algorithm so it
indents to the same level as the first (non-space/tab) character in the
line. Anyone think this would be a *bad* idea (in which case perhaps it
could be a preference)?

I imagine that this might have been covered before, so forgive me if so, but
is there any plans to build a file differencing tool into TextMate? I'm
talking about something akin to the interface that BBEdit provides, or Xcode
for that matter. I find that's the only reason I pop back to BBEdit now, the
ability to step through the differences line by line and copy the changes
between the files is very useful.

Here's an item that bugs me a lot, and there is probably not any
solution, but just maybe...
Often I'm editing text in a textarea on a web page, and I'd like to
edit it in my Favorite Real Editor. Of course I can select all, copy,
go to editor, open new, paste, edit, select all, copy, find browser
window, select all in the textarea, paste.
Is there a way to make this easier? Like hit a key and the editor
opens a window with the text. When I close (and save) the results are
returned to my browser window, and so am I.
I suppose there might be some hack where I could select text, hit a
keystroke (or something) and have the select text appear in the editor,
then if the default were to select all+copy when closing the window,
...
Anyway, some better solution to this problem would be really great.
A specialized hack might be to have the txmt: protocol thing integrated
so that the editor could fetch text via HTTP and know where to POST the
text upon completion of the edit. This may be a complete waste of
development effort since webdav is the right and proper solution here.
(By the way, I haven't used webdav to any extent really.)
This whole thought-stream was launched when I started looking at wikis
again. I love the ease-of-use of wikis, EXCEPT for editing in HTML
textarea blocks.
Hi all,
textmate launches dreamweaver MX '04 when opening php files from the
project drawer. When I open '.inc' files it launches subethaedit! The
file opens in both dreamweaver and in a TextMate tab.
Anyone know how I stop TextMate doing this?
Thanks
Paul
The line numbers in the gutter don't always update correctly.
TextMate version: 1.0.2 (v1.0.2b10)
Steps to replicate:
Type in a few long lines, that get soft wrapped over multiple lines.
Go to the beginning of the third "soft" line, and press enter.
Go to the beginning of the second "soft" line, and press enter.
Expected result: line numbers get recalculated, so that the third line
gets number 3
Real result:
Here are two things I find obtrusive in TextMate, one of which is
probably just me not finding the right function.
1. I would like to see TextMate windows not going off the screen when
they are opened, or under the dock. I use a pretty small screen
(compared to lots of you) at 1024x768, and I like my windows to be full
size (and not go under the dock). Maximizing a TM window sizes it
perfectly - but then opening a new window offsets both downward and to
the right, resulting in a partially obscured window and a petty bug.
2. Is there a way to insert a template from a bundle somewhere into an
empty file or into a file create outside of a project? A menu item to
let me insert the xhtml strict template would save me a lot of time,
and seems like something that TM should have.
Anyone have any input on either of these little bothers? Am I just
completely missing something? Thanks!

I've been using TM since it came out and I should have reported this earlier.
It seems that TM is overly agressive with regards to caching a
directory listing int he "Open" dialog box. I have files that get
generated ( or that I create externally) that I want to edit in TM,
but if I've already been in that directory in the current TM session,
then I won't see the new files. I haven't figured out how to get TM to
refresh this list. Any ideas? Or is this a bug/feature?
Thanks,
Patrick

Your code boxes look beautiful! I realized by accident that if you
simply indent text, then it shows up as <pre></pre> text, so that's
how I ported the ShellScriptCorner page. Not as nice looking, but
easier.
Let me note that though the wiki is slightly annoying to use,
Textmate made it a lot easier!! In Omniweb, I just select all and
command-Escape and edit the textbox in TM, save and close to go back.
It makes life a lot easier.

These tmbundles are intended to cover the languages as roughly defined
by Ada 95, Fortran 77, Fortran 95, and GNU Pascal.
I'm not an expert at any of these languages, but I believe the folding
for Ada and Pascal is useful.
As for Fortran folding, I didn't even try. I'm happy to add folding
support if someone will tell me where best to start and end the folds.
(Or, of course, you're welcome to modify the tmbundle and upload it
yourself :).

The wiki has been updated accordingly.
Share and enjoy,

After reading about various wiki's (and trying a few) I ended up
choosing PmWiki as suggested by Fred.
The new Wiki URL is: http://macromates.com/wiki/pmwiki
It has a link to a static HTML version of the old wiki before the
accident including all the textile pages. The textile pages are
up-to-date, but the HTML export was done the 12th December, so edits
after the 12th of December are not in the HTML version.
I haven't imported the textile pages into PmWiki, since they'd have to
be converted, and I'm not sure how easy I can automate this process.
So I'm thinking that maybe I should just leave the static pages and
import them manually over time (as they are needed), which also allow
for some restructuring of the wiki, which I think was probably overdue
(break down most of the big pages and create a better structure).
I'm really terrible sorry about this, and I hope that it's not viewed
as lack of appreciation for the many contributors -- I really do
appreciate the work that has been put into the wiki!
With this new wiki it also means that I can and will take an active
role maintaining the software side of things (which I previously
thought I'd outsourced, but let's not point any fingers here... ;) ).
Kind regards Allan
I have two requests that I would REALLY like to see coming soon in textmate:
(1) the most important !!! (and I am probably not alone in that): bring back the proper behaviour for CTRL-Y (yank).
Coming Emacs and using this command in all the Apple programs, I always find myself trying it in textmate, to no avail.
CTRL-Y should cut lines, one after the other, and put them in a buffer. I would recommend that it uses the soft and hard-wrap lines the same way, in a transparent manner.
I have adopted textmates last October as my sole text editor, but I miss sorely CTRL-Y
(2) Indented reformatting.
It would be most useful if the formatting of paragraphs following the indentation of first line. This way, we can format text in a latex file, for example, with the proper visual look.
So, if there is 3 spaces before the first character in the first line of the paragraph, the whole paragraph should be formatted with 3 white spaces in front.
(3) Intelligent-tab in programming-language modes
This is also a feature that I love from emacs and that I miss here. While in a programming mode, hitting TAB anywhere on the line shifts the whole line by a tab (SHIFT-TAB does the same in reverse). This makes it very easy when programming to add loops, etc.
I look forward to having those included in textmate. An otherwise very nice editor.

Hi.
I'm not sure if there is some minor adjustment I can make to fix this
.... but after installing 1.0.2 my PHP auto-indenting did not work
anymore. Here is the pattern from the PHP.plist file that was working
fine in <= 1.0.1 :
increaseIndentPattern = "^.*(\\{[^}\"']*|\\([^)\"']*)$";
any suggestions? I know the bundle is active because my custom syntax
highlighting works.

David finally found the time to merge the rollback patch into instiki
but in the process zapped all pages from after november the 5th
(apologies on his behalf for not updating the wiki with this info).
I have a backup of all the current pages, so they are not lost -- but
there is no easy way to import them, so I do think this is the chance
to move to another wiki.
I have no experience with other wiki software, a few things that would
be nice:
o run under apache (to allow for robots.txt and fine-masked
authentication)
o some wiki-spam prevention
o page history with rollback of course ;)
o would be preferable if the syntax is textile for compatibility
o and preferable also if it can import pages easily
If there are any suggestions, it would be nice to know how they fit
with the above requests.
I love column typing, but i dont use it as much as i want because I
rarely have things formated in a way that'll allow using it.
I think it'd be great to be able to just alt-click a bunch of places
to enable column typing (no need to be the same char. num in each
line), and do the column typing in the places you clicked (of course
then it wouldnt really be *column* typing, but i think it's a very
intuitive enhancement...)

Awhile back I seem to remember Allen suggesting he could create a
TextMate protocol (e.g. txmt://path/to/my/file). I've come to the
conclusion that if this was available, I would use it a lot.
Here's one example:
I use Markdown syntax for most of my writing nowadays, but once I've
written something, I want to view it looking nice in a web browser.
Invariably, I need to edit the file later. I have three options: I
could put up a text area and edit it in the web browser. I could launch
my ftp program and Edit Externally... the file. Or I could
automatically launch TextMate, my editor of choice, with a simple
txmt:// link on the web page.
Best, Eric
Sorry, didn't realise the message was not in its own thread - started

I came across a similar problem when writing a php command completion
tool (http://ian.ardes.com/phpcc).
The way I solved it was to write two separate commands, one outputting
as a snippet, the other as a tooltip.
I then wrote a macro to run both of these commands, and bound this
macro to the desired key.

Main editor window cannot handle inputs from input method properly.
When typing Japanese characters, no characters were displayed and I
could
not type characters anymore(includes ASCII chars) until I move cursor
to another line. Other input methods than Japanese, Hangul and Chinese,
seems to have same problem. All other widgets, project drawers, tabs,
dialogs and menu items work fine.
Thanks,

PS:
Are there any plan to add localizations? I'm translating .nib files
into Japanese actually.
Requests
- incremental search, I would like Cmd-W to close the window, even if it
*is* still in I.S. mode
- it would be nice to be able to refresh syntax hightlighting styles without
having to relaunch TextMate, and have it redraw the open windows (so you
could edit, refresh, and review effects).
Help..
- in HTML-PHP style, I somehow can't get the {} pair to indent anymore if I
hit enter in between them :-( looked at the syntax files but that regex got
too complicated for 5 AM..
Regards,
Martin
