mysql snippet and query (getting a carriage return?)

by Paul Nordstrom August

Following up on a post from a week or so ago, I've created a "mysql" snippet to run MySQL commands within TM. (This probably works best if you have a ~/usr/.my.cnf file configured with a default login and password on localhost.) The snippet simply is the following: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql ${1:database} -e "${2:SELECT}" ... so I hit mysql, tab, then enter the DB name and then the command. Some sample queries are appended below. My problem is that the output begins directly after the final " in the -e statement. What's the easiest way to insert a carriage return here? Or is this better run as a command and not a snippet? I've already got macros to convert DESCRIBE TABLE output into all sorts of PHP elements... TM is great :) Paul > /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql iedb -e "show tables" > Tables_in_iedb > clients > firms > iedbdata > irt_metadata > metadata > sections > stock > /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql iedb -e "describe > metadata"Field Type Null Key Default Extra > field_id int(11) PRI NULL auto_increment > section_id int(2) YES NULL > category varchar(100) YES NULL > subcategory varchar(100) YES NULL > section varchar(100) YES NULL > subsection varchar(100) YES NULL > field varchar(255) YES NULL > descr tinytext YES NULL > type varchar(100) YES NULL > avail varchar(100) YES NULL > comments text YES NULL > fieldcode varchar(100) YES NULL > /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql iedb -e "select * from > clients"clno fname lname job account_balance > 10 sam smith auditor 5525.75 > 20 james jones manager 8960.25

Incremental Search?

by Ben Protas

Just downloaded the new beta to see what everyone was talking about, but ctrl-s does nothing for me (no line in status bar, and if i hit ctrl-s then start typing, it is just inserted as text). Going to Textmate->About shows that I am definitely using 1.0.2b8....is there something that I am doing wrong? ben

Find request

by Ed Wong

I was wondering if it would be possible to not have the page scroll when a string being searched for is found on the currently visible page. I find that when this happens it causes me to think that the found string is outside of the visible region and so I try to locate it's context within the document. Somethings it's only 10 lines away but it may not be obvious because my mental map of the document is disrupted. Many other apps do not normally scroll if the found string is within the visible region. Thanks, Ed Wong

Importing files in project

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, Just a small request: please provide a feedback menu when dragging seperate files into a project that are masked by the default file pattern? I was trying to drag a file beginning with . into a project and it didn't work, nothing happened. It's that I know of the existence of the default file mask that I understood what happened, but other users might not know about this... Jeroen.

1.0.2b8: I have no i-search!

by Gregg Thomason

Downloaded, installed. I do C-s and get nothing. I have a heavily-remapped keyboard (and a MS Wireless one, at that), but resetting it to the defaults produced no changes. I scrolled through the menus, and saw no conflicting commands, and checked my MenuMaster config for conflicts. Anyone else seeing this?

Annoying switching problem

by hadley wickham

I've discovered a rather annoying problem when using Textmate with (more than) two projects open, one of which is large. When I cmd-tab to TM the active project appears immediately, but it takes a couple of seconds before the other projects appear behind it. If during this time I alt-tab out into another application, after a couple of seconds (or when I wave the mouse) the other projects will appear in front of the active application, but textmate is not active (ie. when I type it still goes into the other application, but I can't see what's happening because TM is in front of it). Any fix would be much appreciated! Hadley

Can't tell if file needs saving when it doesn't have a tab

by Ed Wong

Allan, When I have lots of tabs open the ones that don't fit on the tab space gets shunted off to the ">>" menu. This is fine except now when I edit this file, there's no way of showing that it needs saving. This is very minor since I've been in the habit of saving early and often ever since I worked in an office where the power went off on a semi regular basis :), but could you perhaps put an "*" or something beside the file name in the menu to indicate that a save is pending? Just to be consistent with the tab's "x" indicator. Thanks, Ed

Method/function list?

by Chris Bailey

I am hoping I¹m just missing something obvious... Is there some kind of list of functions/methods? I.e. Similar to BBEdit or SEE¹s popup function list? I have used TM very little so far, but one thing that attracted me was the much more ³native² or ³OSX² feel of it, as compared to say BBEdit. We use SubEthaEdit for specific things (collaborative editing only), but BBEdit has reigned so far. Yet, I don¹t really like BBEdit. It just feels old (even the new 8.0), and it still seems WAY behind at least the editors I use on Windows and Linux (these are primarily Visual SlickEdit (for just about anything), IDEA for Java work, and Visual Studio .Net for Windows C++ work). While I realize TM is not an IDE, I thought it was targeted at programmers, so this kind of thing seems like one of the more standard features to expect. Aside from that, I¹m starting to get some time to play with it, and the shell integration aspects seem super cool. One other thing I¹d really like to see is the equivalent of the ³bbedit w² command line syntax, so that I can use TM as my Perforce editor. Anyway, so if I¹m just totally missing it, or there is an alternative way, let me know, otherwise, consider it a feature request :)

Feature request/macro help request

by Brian Lalor

I'd like to implement some automated method for creating getters and setters for private fields in Java classes, but I'm not having any luck figuring out how to do it. My first thought was to set a bookmark where new getters and setters would be inserted in the file and then put the cursor on the line declaring the field to be got/set. (Typically, methods and fields are separated by at least a constructor, and usually the methods are declared after fields in the same order that the fields were.) I'm unable to do this because bookmarks aren't exposed as variables to commands/macros/etc. This also doesn't scale if there's more than one bookmark. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to implement this? Thanks, B -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

PHPDoc Snippets 1.1 available

by kumar mcmillan

I updated the PHPDocumentor [ http://phpdoc.org/ ] snippet bundle for PHP 5 constructs. The commands are still useful for PHP 4 too. It also has an auto-installer (bash script) that sets the default value for @author in a separate text file so you don't have to edit the snippets. You should run the install script and replace the old bundle if you had it installed before. Download: http://farmdev.com/downloads/PHPDoc_1.1.dmg btw .... anyone know what is happening with the main page of the wiki? There was a place for post-1.01 bundles but I can't find it anymore. was going to modify a download link I had up there. -Kumar

Incremental search changes the way you do searching. Using Firefox or Mozilla, on a web page I can just type '/' and then the thing I'm looking for. cmd-f and filling in a dialog box is requires much more cognitive effort because of the two context switches required (into the dialog box and back). Many times I've wanted to type '/something' and then realized I needed to do cmd-f etc... and decided just to page-up or page-down instead. May I suggest cmd-/ for incremental search? Carl

Italics in syntax bundles

by Jeroen

Hello, I noticed that a lot of the syntax highlight bundles use different colours, and on top of that also other decoration such as underline and italics. My experience is that italics in most fixed-width fonts does not look that good and is bad for readability. The other thing is that the italics is mostly superfluous: the aim is to differentiate text from surrounding text and most of the time, this is already achieved by using a different colour and using italics as well does not really help. So I propose that authors of syntax highlight bundles use italics sparingly and only if it really has extra value to use it. How do other users feel about this? And does anyone else have tips for increasing usability of syntax highlight bundles? Jeroen.

i-search in TextMate

by Josh DiMauro

Hello. New user, here. I'm loving TextMate so far, although I've only used it for about 12 hours. :) And I googled the mailing list archives for an answer to a question I had, but couldn't find it. Thus, I ask you: I'm an addicted user of the i-search cocoa plugin, which duplicates Emacs' isearch functionality, with the same keystroke: ^-s forward, ^-r backwards. http://michael-mccracken.net/blog/blosxom.pl/computers/mac/programming/iSea… However, I find that this doesn't work inside TextMate, and that makes me sad.

TextMate Icon proposal - Anime icon

by Ryan Schmidt

Hello, folks. Pardon the length of this email, but I wanted to throw my hat into this ring. I've just downloaded TextMate, and it has taken much restraint to suppress the constant urge to toss that ugly icon into the Trash. I'll make no apologies for the fact that I find it hideous, and if it were up to me, I'd start over from scratch with a completely new design. Alas, I am not a designer, so I cannot give you a mockup. But I would like to get a description of my idea out into the open, so that someone with artistic skills could give it a go. A Mac OS X application icon is supposed to show the type of document the program works with, and a tool that one might use to work with that kind of document. See TextEdit, AppleWorks, and Preview. However since there are many apps that do not exactly follow this guideline -- I'm thinking of iTunes, Safari, Mail, and Address Book -- I think we have a little room for interpretation. But I am still in favor of keeping the same visual style and perspective used in the Apple icons. I envision the finished icon as mostly white. The "document" part of my icon idea is two sheets of white unlined paper, at the familiar angle (see TextEdit), which look like they could be homework assignments or test papers. I envision that text is hand-written on the papers -- but it should be made clear from the indentation and varying line length and such that it is programming code, not paragraphs of text. There should be red markings on it, indicating where corrections have been made, and possibly a red hand-written and circled A at the top of the page, indicating the grade this assignment has theoretically received, or just a checkmark or some other indication that the document is now A-OK, thanks to TextMate. The "tool" part is where I think we can depart from the recommendations a bit, given the state of other Apple icons. I can't get along with the current robot, so I suggest a happy anime cartoon boy. In anime, as in other cartoons, characters often have superpowers or hidden abilities, and this guy's power therefore is sprucing up your document quickly and efficiently without getting in your way. He's standing proudly to the right side of the papers, legs slightly apart, arms folded in front of him, a red marker clearly visible in his hand, and with a stereotypical spiky outrageously-colored anime hairstyle, possibly partially hidden by a backwards-turned baseball cap. I see him wearing long white pants and a white shirt or sweatshirt (and if only MacroMates had a logo, it could be printed on the sweatshirt). I see the hair as being the icon's primary source of color, but this could prove to be too little color, so the shirt and/or pants may have to get some color too. The color of the SubEthaEdit icon changed from blue to green with the 2.0 release, and iTunes' icon has changed color with every major version as well; the hair and/or clothing colors of this icon could also be changed across TextMate versions if desired. Document icons should be easy to make based on this idea -- just the marked-up paper by itself, not at an angle, with the customary turned page corner. So that's the idea. If we have any designers out there wanting to tackle it, please go for it! I'm of course available by email for further discussions of this idea, and I'll try to monitor the list as well. -- ryan schmidt // hello at ryandesign dot com

Icon colour thoughts

by Drew McLellan

As we've been discussing the TM icon lately, and I'm one of those who isn't keen on the current icon, I thought I'd do some research. When placing a new brand into an existing market, one of the things to identify is the values presented within the brands of your competition. For icons, the overriding value to consider is that of colour. I'm no designer, but I've grabbed together a bunch of OS X editor icons and placed them on a colour wheel: http://allinthehead.com/assets/img/osxeditorcolours.png As you can see, the main focus is on blues and greens. These colours are already over-used and should be avoided. Strong yellow and red have also already been claimed, although there's no strong orange in use. The main gap on the wheel is obviously the pinks/purples and the cyan end. Cyan is tricky to get right, as it tends to either drift into blue or green, or contrasts badly against white. Therefore, I think that TextMate should have a pink/purple icon. drew.

OK, this single thing irritates me A LOT !! Being a beta user, I have yet again updated TM and after doing so, my finely tuned Snippets, Commands, Macros, Templates, etc etc menus are being filled with things that I don't use. So what I would ask for and hope would be easy to implement is: Give *PRIORITY* to my bundles, that are in ~Library/AppSupport/TM/Bundles rather than those that are in the TM.app, or alternatively the ability to switch of the TM.app bundles. This could ideally be controlled by a preference checkbox in the prefs window, that gives turns on the TM.app bundles or not. Default = On. Apologies for yet again boring you with the minor stuff. :) Kind regards, Mats

Feature request: Improve syntax highlighting by using stylesheets

by Ralph Pöllath

Hi, I do like TM's syntax highlighting a lot, but I think it's annoying having to tweak their color schemes to my liking all the time. I think the parser bundles should tell TM the kind of a piece of text (comment, reserved word, string, etc) instead of font style information, and TM should give me a way to apply a custom stylesheet to all that info. So I would like to have one file containing my custom stylesheet that tells TM to display all comments (regardless of language) in green, all strings in purple, except for perl, where I'd like my strings to be blue. You get the idea. How does that sound? Cheers, -Ralph. BTW, that's the feature request I wanted to add to the wiki before I broke it..

request for a $TM_BUNDLE_PATH

by Jan Sabbe

I would like to have a $TM_BUNDLE_PATH available in a command, that points to the directory in which the current command is stored. For example, $TM_BUNDLE_PATH would point to /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/HTML.tmbundle for the Refresh Safari command. This would make it easier to make more complex commands (just let your command execute $TM_BUNDLE_PATH/my_fancy_script.sh) or pack in some extra resources.

show invisibles, Perl, drag bug

by Eric Hsu

1. Here is my attempt to hack a 'show invisible characters' capability. I made a syntax bundle called 'Show Invisibles' that colors spaces, tabs and ASCII characters below \x21 and above \x7F different colors. I posted the bundle to my web site at <http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate>. Install it and switch to as a syntax highlighting to find the gremlins. 2. I also updated my Perl bundle to have auto-indent and to highlight file test operators. Other changes noted on history page. 3. I think this has been mentioned, but when one drag-selects past the top or bottom of a window, usually the window should scroll in that direction, and TM 1.0.2b5 isn't doing that. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

web color palates for TM?

by Paul Nordstrom August

Hi everyone, Great discussion about the icons (though I agree it's perhaps the least important aspect of TM). During a bout of insomnia I fancifully thought up one that would just be "\B", as in "escaping BBEdit" :) More seriously, I found myself opening BBEdit yesterday just for the web color palate. Does anyone know of a similar swatch picker (perhaps standalone) that would work within TM? Generally I use only a few colors, but I'm color-coding cell backgrounds based on numeric scales and need to see the whole "spectrum" as it were to help choose them. Thanks for any tips... Paul

GUI, Bundles & Snippets Structure Revisited [LONG-ish]

by Mats Persson

OK, I know this has been brought up before and that Allan is working on new implementations for sometime in the future, but I just want to make sure the following is considered as well. Trying hard to be as succinct, logical and realistic as possible here, so apologies if I'm not. 1. GUI ISSUES: 1a) Snippet Editor Window Looking at the Snippet, Command & Macros Editor windows, there is essentially three different design concepts implemented there. Of the three I think the Command Editor is the better functioning concept, albeit not perfect. By making the 'entry NSBox view' fixed in size it enables the user to resize the window and thereby automatically resize the table view (NSScrollView) making it easier to read the full Command names and their triggers. The main problem with the Snippet Editor window is that the table view (NSScrollView) is not resizable. However, this could be improved relatively quickly by: -- implementing a NSSplitView functionality (split view resizing of window parts) -- or making the NSBox view (the gray background box) fixed size as it is in Command Editor window. (Probably faster to implement) This 'simple' change would make using the Snippet Editor much better. For further improvement ideas in the Snippet Editor window, see point 3 below, as they are more context dependent. 1b) Project Drawer & Image files Working mainly with web development and graphics/images, I think it would be great if you could see the image displayed in the main editor window, or alternatively opened by Preview rather than any other app regardless of the Creator Code of the image file when you double-click the filename. This should ideally be a preference option, where you can turn it on or off. The file formats in question are: .jpg, .png. .gif. .pdf 2. BUNDLES MANAGEMENT: 2a) Too many syntax files available in the "Syntax Highlight as" menu Being a bit of a 'boring' developer that only works with PHP, HMTL, CSS & JS I find that I essentially only need my own .tmbundle that contains all four of those languages. I therefore want to be able to turn off the unused bundles, or alternatively keep the unused bundles further down in the "Syntax Hightlight as.." sub-menu. Sort of like this: [ -> = sub-menu ] Syntax Highlight as -> Syntax Status Editor == (GUI see below) -- DIVIDER -- XHTML PHP CSS JS -- DIVIDER -- Disabled Syntax Files -> ASP <snip> Unix Shell... I know that this could be partly achieved by naming my commonly used bundles differently and renaming the others, but I shouldn't have to do that. 2b) GUI Solution to Syntax Management: A Snippet Editor type window where the available Syntax bundles are listed on the left, and in the right hand side view we could display a default bundle sample code template which is highlighted in the window, so that we can see if we like the syntax colouring. Below it, we would have one button "Disable/Enable" with toggle status for enabling/disabling each bundle. A quick & dirty mock-up can be found here: [ http://www.imediatec.co.uk/TM/Bundle-Manager-GUI.jpg ] It should give you a good enough idea about the whole concept. Perhaps a .plist version could be implemented first ?? 3. SNIPPETS STRUCTURE: 3a) Snippets Numbering: All snippets in /<something>.tmbundle/Snippets/ are numbered as 010, 020, 030 and so on with 10 increments for each snippet. Why increment by 10 each time ? Why not by 1 for each new snippet ? Why use numbering at all, since the available snippet files can be displayed according to alphabetical order and then - see points below - could be reorganised according to the users own choice and the display order could be stored in a .plist file ? Why oh WHY change the snippet numbers when I have numbered them as 010, 011, 012 ? Aarrrgh!! :( (My idea behind numbering them that way was to create my own structured Snippets with sub-groups with space to add new snippets in between.) 3b) Snippets Organisation: As I have suggested on the wiki "Feature Requests" page, the snippets would be better if they were structured in categories, where each category is a sub-menu item. When I create new snippets now, I give them a pseudo category identifier such as "PHP " or "XHTML " and then the snippet type id. This helps me keep my snippets fairly organised, but they still stay out of alphabetical order, mainly due to the Custom.tmbundle issue addressed above. However, the biggest problem with my Snippets Menu is that it is too long for my screen (1600x1200) so I have to scroll the menu in order to get the bottom values. Moving to sub-menu categories would improve this drastically. Making the table view in the Snippet Editor GUI into an NSOutlineView (as partly implemented in the Project Drawer) where we could have these sub-groups, toggle the view of their content and so on. 3c) New Snippets Save location: When you create a new snippet it is stored into /App..Support/TM/Bundles/Custom.tmbundle/Snippets/ which are prioritised over the active bundle's snippets. My issues with this structure are: -- I want to choose where I want my new snippet to be stored, as it most likely will be in relation to the current .tmbundle that's being used, and I find it better - in my mind - to add language related snippets in the language bundle they belong to. -- In the Snippets Menu, I would want my active .tmBundle Snippets to be top of the list, not the other way around. The same would be applicable for Commands & Macros as well. That way, by saving all commands, Macros & Snippets related to the specific language/bundle, they are not available when we disable the bundle as suggested in point 2 above. In the GUI, this would work by selecting the current snippet category, and then clicking "New Snippet" button. Sort of like this works in Project Drawer. 3d) Snippet Re-Ordering in Snippet Editor window listing: What would be ideal in the Snippet Editor GUI, is the ability to drag around snippets and re-order them that way. Newly created snippets are always added to the bottom of each snippet group they are created within, but can then be moved by the user to the position they would want. (Think iTunes playlist for a good example of this) OK, that's it for now. Hope I haven't wasted my or your time.

Folding bug

by James Andrews

Hi, Another one for the pile... Not sure if this has been picked up before but the following steps demonstrate a bug in the folding logic: 1. Create a TM new document 2. Past in the following test php code: function test() { /* multiline comment */ some stuff... } 3. Set the syntax highlighting as PHP 4. Notice that it correctly identifies the start and end of the function as a folding block as well as the start and end of the comment as a nested folding block 5. Do Cmd-Alt-0 to collapse everything or click on the fold by 'function ...' You should find the text from some stuff... onwards is not collapsed. If you first collapse the comment (using F1 or clicking on the icon) you can then collapse the function without problems. I might be wrong, but I don't think this is a problem with the PHP bundle, as it is correctly identifying folds. Cheers, James

Dragging Document to Dock Icon Overwrites Blank Document

by Chris Messina

I've noticed that if I create a new, blank document and then drag a text/html file onto the doc, TM will overwrite/fill up the empty document with the contents of the dragged file. Since my goal in creating the new file and then dragging another one on to the doc was to copy and paste between them, you foiled my plans! Can you just leave blank docs in their current state when I drag a file onto the doc? Thanks! Chris -- Do the evolution.

Re: Re: How About a Competition? (was: Textmate proposal)

by Eric Hsu

Yep, an icon is something everyone can have an opinion about. I don't like the default one, not just because it looks awkward to me, but mainly because the colors are very invisible to me, and it's hard to find in the dock. For a while I used a replacement icon from the World of Aqua IV of the red robot from Ghost in the Shell, and I'm currently using the 'braces' icon. I don't think I have to love an icon, but I should be able to find it quickly in the dock. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

SQL syntax problem with "/"

by Paul Nordstrom August

Alas I'm using "/" as an arithmetical operation in a MySQL statement and it renders the rest of the code (until a subsequent "/") as a RegExp! I thought it was commenting out until I looked at the bundle: { name = "Comment"; foregroundColor = "#9933CC"; match = "^\\s*--.*$"; }, [snip] { name = "Regular Expression"; begin = "/"; end = "/"; foregroundColor = "#CCCC33"; patterns = ( { name = "Interpolated String"; match = "#\\{([^\\}]*)\\}"; foregroundColor = "#aaaaaa"; }, { name = "Escaped slash"; match = "\\\\/"; foregroundColor = "#CCCC33"; } ); }, This is a shame b/c I was enjoying the SQL syntax colors... this renders them unworkable when using the maths... Is there a way to change the RegExp syntax to allow "/" as divisor? thanks! Paul PS to Fred B -- any relation to Agnes? :)

Working with/Deleting empty space in documents ?? Please help !

by Mats Persson

I'm not sure what the correct definition for this is, but here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to remove (delete) the empty space or move the cursor to the beginning of the next HTML tag in an existing HTML document, that sort of looks like the examples below: With the cursor immediately after the first tag: By pressing Alt-Shift-del (not backspace) deletes all space up until the text "this" in Code Example A:, but in Example B: we delete only one line of text, and has to press it twice, in Example C: we end up deleting all the space including the first < in <code> With the cursor immediately after the end of the paragraph text block ('text'/'tag'): By pressing Alt-Shift-del here, deletes as above, but also deletes the </ of the closing tag. I do not know if this is an issue to do with some hidden characters/spaces/tabs in the files I am working with, or whatever, but it is irritating. So, is there some way that this behaviour can be changed ??? Hidden prefs in a .plist file ? IF not - or as an immediate alternative - how would I create a regex & Macro that would delete all the space (including tabs, new lines, carriage returns etc ) up until the first < tag ?? I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here. Example A: this is a simple paragraph text Example B: this is a simple paragraph text Example C: <code>this</code> paragraph begins with an html tag Kind regards, Mats

Dictionary choice in textmate

by David Stickland

I can't seem to find where the dictionary is specified in text mate? I am using it for Latex and in the installation on my portable Mac spell checking (in US English) works, but the, as far as I can tell identical, installation on my desktop Mac I do not get misspelled words high-lighted, but right clicking on a the misspelled word offers me the suggested better spellings How could I specify sometimes a different dictionary (Uk English, French) Mail knows about the different dictionaries....??
