What I do it select the text I want to enclose and then press the '(' or '{' and it's done. It's kinda scary the first time, 'cause you'd expect the selected text to be replaced by the character you typed. But the second time will bring a smile to your face. eg. type 'if' hold the shift key down, press the arrow key to move the cursor to where you want it, press the '(' and so on... Carl

Preview & Reload in Safari, Firefox & IE Commands

by Mats Persson

Hi All, Just wanted every web developer to know about these scripts/commands that I have just created and available here: [ http://wiki.macromates.com/textmate/show/Howtos ] 1. Preview in Browser: Safari, Firefox and IE5 These commands will take the current file and then load it in a new browser window. Works with both local files [ file://path/to/file.html ] and web server based files [ http://www.somesite.com/file.html ] as long as you create a new project Shell Variable called TM_PROJ_SITEURL with the full URL. Please note. Still some issues with Safari not being able to open a new window on its own to sort out. 2. Reload Browser: Safari, Firefox, IE5 and All 3 browsers. These commands will do a reload of the current page in each browser separately or all at the same time. Hope they are useful to you all. Kind regards, Mats

You've helped me before on the Flash mailing list (many years ago now), so I thought I should help you as far as I can tonight (it's 9.30pm here) The problems you are having is to do with the AppleScript syntax and limited AS support in Firefox. The following Applescript works in Script Editor and just needs to be converted into TM working code. Don't have time to do so tonight : ( set theActiveURL to "http://www.macromedia.com/" tell application "Firefox" activate OpenURL theActiveURL end tell You would use $TM_FILE_PATH to get the path to the file and load it as a local non-parsed file. IF you are previewing a file through a web server, then I guess you need to add a Project Shell Variable (info btn in project drawer when no file is selected) with the URL prefix and then use a bit of fancy footwork to add the variables together into a full URL. I'll think about it over the weekend, but can't promise a solution, but I'm sure you - and many others - will have worked it out before then. : ) Hope that helped you a bit on the way.

Back and forward for switching files?

by Wayne Larsen

The tab metaphor for opened files works fairly well, especially if you make the effort to open related files next to each other. The tabs should shrink smaller imo, but that's a separate issue. The question I have is -- if you are working on two files that are far apart in the tab bar, is there any shortcut for switching between them? My thought is that the program could maintain a history list of viewed files, and then a key binding could be assigned to navigate back and forward over that history list. Could this be added? (Or does this capability exist somehow?) Cheers, Wayne

wrapping tabs?

by Justin Henry

Hello, Is there a way to adjust the height of the tab bar and force the tabs to "wrap" (similar to how UltraEdit does it), rather than having to click on the double arrows and select from the dropdown on the right when the tabs spill over? If not, is this something that could go into a future release? Thanks, -Justin

'undoing' for days [gripe]

by kumar mcmillan

Sorry to gripe, but pressing undo after writing a line of code is like trying to walk up a downward moving escalator. I know it's been said before but here is another plea to the steadfast, cooperative developers: at least consider an option to let undo step back word by word instead of character by character (what would be the nicest is to step back in logical "chunks" the same way bbedit does). thanks, Kumar

New Folding Icons (and Bookmark Icon)

by Simon Dorfman

Hello everyone. I tweaked the folding icons again. Still using the Stoplight color metaphor, but made them a little less saturated and a little smoother around the edges. I made the Bookmark Icon blue too. Attached is a screenshot and the required PNGs. To install: 1. control-click on TextMate in the Finder and select "Show Package Contents" 2. double-click on "Contents" in the window that opens 3. double-click on "Resources" 4. copy my replacement pngs to this Resources folder. Accept the dialog to replace the existing pngs. Feel free to add this to the wiki. Simon

'select line' not seeing wrap

by M Spreij

Cmd-Shift-L for select line only selects the physical line, not the logical; if the line was wrapped it will not select the second part. This also causes the default Duplicate Line macro to not work correctly on wrapped lines I think. Is this easily fixable?

Text selection

by James Andrews

Hi Allan, When I double-click on a PHP variable name it selects the whole word (without the preceding $) as expected. Because I want to select the whole thing I automatically do a Shift-Left Arrow to add the $ but something strange happens and I get about half the word selected without the $. Any chance of fixing this? My expected behaviour is whichever arrow key (left or right) you first start using after selecting the text should allow you to expand or contract the selection at the appropriate end. Also a suggestion (which BBEdit supports) is that a second shift double click on a different word should select everything between and including the two words. Thanks for your time, James

Refuses to open SVG documents in project?

by Robin Berjon

Hi, I am trying to edit some SVG documents. When I open them one at a time they work fine. When I try to open them in a project (to get tabs even though I don't want the drawer and stuff :) it doesn't work. They don't display, and if I click or double-click them in the drawer they try to open in the browser instead of in the editor. Is there a list of known bugs to not dupe reports? I couldn't find one, but then I'm rather tired today. Thanks, -- Robin Berjon

Tab Always Indent and indent-region

by Travis P

Two marvelously useful features that I use heavily for programming all kinds of language in Emacs and XEmacs are: - Tab Always Indent: when this option is on, hitting the TAB key always just indents the current line - indent-region: re-indent the selection I see you already have editing over sftp in your todo for 1.1. TextMate looks like a good start and might find a nice niche. It's a bit rough around the edges at the moment. And I find it hard to work without the two indent features I mention above. Maybe I should add them to the Feature requests page? -Travis

Tabs without a project?

by Robin Berjon

Hi, one feature I would really love to have would be the ability to have tabs without needing a project (if there is I really couldn't find it). I really like tabs but I only occasionally work using projects. Having the option to say "any files I open are opened as a tab in the current window" would positively rock. Also, having a way of telling TM that you want all your windows full screen at 0,0 would be really nice and far more usable than what the default OSX behaviour provides. -- Robin Berjon

Mailing list rules

by Allan Odgaard

There is really only one rule (apart from normal netiquette) I want you to uphold: When you write a _new_ letter to this mailing list, _don't_ use “reply” on an existing letter (to get the To: filled in). It screws up threading!!! If you're using Mail.app, you can control-click the “To” of an existing letter and select “New Message” to get a compose window with the “To” header filled in. Threading is a very useful feature, and especially for me with this mailing list, since it's basically an archive of user feedback, and I'd like for the table-of-contents to show _every_ thread, which it currently doesn't, when one thread contain 2-3 _different_ subjects, because people have used reply (then it only show the first subject). So PLEASE remember _not_ to use reply (for new letters)!!!

Selecting column with keyboard and navigating project questions

Selecting whole "words"

by Chris Jenkins

Does anyone know if there is any way to manually define what TM considers to be a "word" when double-clicking to select? At the moment a dollar sign does not seem to be part of what TM thinks is a word, and I use these to prefix variable names. I seem to remember that within S-E-E there is some way of defining which characters are legit for variable names or something, is such a thing planned for TM?

Making sub-shells login shells causes problems in the current beta

by Chris Brierley

Allan, I know you made the change to call bash sub-shells with '--login' in response to people's problems getting their PATHs set straight, but I'd like to make an argument towards putting it back the way it was. Philosophically, it's just not how things are supposed to work with bash. The reason .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, .bashrc is only called on an interactive non-login shell, and BASH_ENV is consulted for non-interactive shells is so that you can separate initialization code for these very different conditions. Practically, since, by default, .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, people use it to put initialization code that should only be run when they log in ... knowing that that's the only time it will run. For example, people output stuff to the screen, they mess with their stty settings to get their keyboard working correctly, etc. People don't typically protect any of that stuff in if statements so that it only runs if there is a tty because ... there should always be one in a login shell. By changing TextMate to use a login shell, it now executes all that cruft in the subshell. Every time I run a command it now inserts into the TextMate buffer all this extra stuff from my .bash_profile that I've sent to the screen, and errors from my trying to run stty without a tty. To combat that, I'm going to have to go through my .bash_profile and surround any of that kind of code with if statements that test if there is a tty or not. So, in trying to make things easier for people (not having to set BASH_ENV in their enviroment) I think this is going to wind up making it harder for people (having to escape code with if statements all through their .bash_profile). I would bet that you'll start to see a lot of problems come in related to this. What are your thoughts? Any chance I can convince you to change your mind on this? Thanks much.

two "BBEdit requests"

Two things I miss from BB: a) Opening/saving directly by FTP/SFTP (not going through Transmit, Interarchy, etc) b) "show invisibles"!!! I know this has been asked for already... I just wasted 10 mins on a file where 2 spaces were emulating a tab; partly my fault (confused about Tab Emulation) but show invisibles would be great... Otherwise I'm loving it.

Now the wiki seems to have been reorganized >so I am hesitant to repost. Should we have a new page for >snippet-related bundles? I'm not sure if maybe people are wiping out >my entry because it is not a syntax highlighter bundle. Hi Kumar, I re-posted your link to the wiki. If it disappears, I'll help you restore it. I suspect it was deleted out of clumsiness and not any secret standards for what should be on the front page. I think the nature of a wiki is that all the users have to evolve standards for how things should be organized and how people should edit. I personally think nothing should ever be deleted. At worst, it should be put in a separate link or 'refactored' by being summarized. I did the last reorganization because (1) most of the front page was obsolete due to Allan's including them in the distribution and (2) someone had incompetently edited the front page to nuke most of the writing people did. It's possible that in restoring the old writing I accidentally lost some post-nuking changes you made (but I did try to check). best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

ODB protocol

by Mr. Robert Ullrey

I just joined so I apologize if this is a recurring subject, but I would like to see TextMate become ODB protocol compliant. Specifically, I work with a few other programs like MarsEdit which allow editing of the text in programs like BBEdit or SubEthaEdit. I have talked with a few of the designers including Brett and for TextMate to also be included it needs to include the ODB protocol. Is this possible for a future release? Thanks Robert

[TextMate] workarounds for lack of (s)ftp/external editing support?

by Raena Armitage

All I want for Christmas is world peace, an end to hunger, and for TextMate to either support (s)ftp or be supportive of the external editor thing. As in this: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html I'd become so reliant on Transmit's ability to open a text file in BBEdit, where I could just sit 'save' and have it upload automatically, that having to do it by hand again is really getting up my nose. For the moment, can anyone recommend a way to get around this lack of support? I still have BBEdit, of course, but I'd rather be using TextMate. I'm not so good with shell scripting so I wouldn't know the first place to start where that's concerned. Can anyone help? Regards, Raena

Order of open files window tabs question ??

by Mats Persson

This is another minor/major feature request for Allan : ) The order of the open files windows tabs - in top of project window - has confused me for a while, as the open files have not followed an immediately identifiable method/structure. Having created a simple test project with files named a1,a2, b1, b2 etc etc. I have finally worked it out. Newly opened files will always be added immediately behind the currently selected tab, and not in an alphabetical order nor in a order of opened status which I had kind of assumed it would do just like Safari tabs do. Therefore, could it be possible to implement this as an options preference: 1. follow alphabetical order 2. order of open status (last opened is last in order) IF this could be fixed I would be very grateful, as working with 10+ files open means I have to look through the tab bar for where my opened files has been located. What's the general view on this ? Apologies if this has been discussed earlier without me noticing it. Kind regards, Mats

BTW: Consider this a feature request, > if it's not already an option, and a plea for guidance otherwise. This feature is too "subtle" for me. I have great difficulty finding the matched character. I like the way S-E-E does it: a double click on a paren/brace/bracket selects the contents of the pair. This is very clear and potentially very useful if you want to relocate the text. I *reallyyyy* like putting paired characters around selected text. That has become one of my favourite features. It makes writing nested conditionals very easy. No more counting pairs. Selecting text between pairs would be a nice counterpart. Hmmm, would also be useful for single and double quotes too.... Have fun, Carl

[TextMate] htmlentitizing text

by Nis Sarup

Howdy textmaters. (that does sound kinda naughty, doesn't it?) As I live in Denmark I commonly use the special danish characters æøå, and has tried to make a command to the php htmlentities(9 command on the selected text: php -r "echo htmlentities('$TM_SELECTED_TEXT', ENT_QUOTES);" But, alas, as in the terminal æøå gets mangled into \303\246\303\270\303\245 before being entitized. <, &, ", ' and other "normal" special chars gets converted just fine. Is there a workaround for the brutal mangling of the innocent danish characters? I know there is already a "Convert to entities" command, but it converts every character, not just the special ones. And its a bit of a chore to select every instance of a special character and running a command on it. Any thoughts? Anyone? Nis "Have-a-nice-day" Sarup. -- BTW: I have 5 Gmail invites.

The selected task then gets deleted from the original file and pasted in to the completed.txt file with a checkbox ([X]). I also put the date stamp on the same line as the text to make it easier to grep for; when someone chases me about something I've done, I can double-check when I did it ;-) I'm a Ruby-newbie too, so I'm sure more experienced coders could make it more efficient.

Allan, Thought you would like to know that my colleague at work is very happy with the new auto-insert features in 1.02b1, I have even seen her use the wrap-selection-in-quotes feature. Well done.

[TextMate] cool tip & bug

by Eric Hsu

1. I think the program rocks. 2. I was writing some HTML and I had the need to have a command that jumped to the *inside* of the next tag. I couldn't figure out how to do this in TM (or any other editor), playing with snippets and Perl shell command ideas until I realized I could record a macro that did: find <(.*?)> as regular expression hit left arrow (to go to start of found selection), hit right arrow (to skip over the <) find [^>]* to select all characters up to the >. It works just great. 3. In some corner of my head I feel like snippets, macros and commands should really all be one type of automation entity. I'm not sure how to do that, but it's a little confusing to have so much power distributed across three different kinds of triggers... 4. Actual interface bug (in my opinion). If you start a selection, say in the middle of the screen, and drag up past the window top, TM should select everything up through the first character of the document. Instead, it only selects up to the first line stopping at the original column. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: OT: Help files and Manuals

LaTeX does really nice PDF and with tex4ht I think the HTML result is also reasonable good. Another option is DocBook, though the PDF is not very nice when using the freeware converters available. Basically you just want to settle on some generic markup language that allows you to convert it to whatever format you desire. Which markup language is best suited probably depends mostly of what type of documentation you're writing, i.e. is it heavily interlinked, using all sorts of "typegraphic" features, footnotes, images etc. Kind regards Allan -- http://macromates.com/ ::: TextMate, OS X text editor http://macromates.com/sigpipe/ ::: Personal weblog about programming

Re: copy/paste between documents bug

Disable “Indented Paste” from the Behavior menu. It tries to match the indent level of where you paste -- some improvements could probably be made though (I think it fails to properly treat spaces and tabs transparently). > also... if you select several lines of text (like the require > statement + comments above), then choose Text > Move Selection > > Column Right, TextMate only moves the first line, not all lines of the > selection. The same thing happens for Text > Move Selection > Column > Left. Yes, move column left/right only makes real sense for either selecting sub-lines (e.g. words) or doing a columnar selection.

Re: Trying to use key bindings...

by Richard Kilmer

On my US keyboard the [ ] characters do have their own keys, and if you shift them they are { } (braces). -rich On 10/25/04 6:28 PM, "Allan Odgaard" <allan(a)macromates.com> wrote: > On 25.

Syntax Highlighting regex question

by Jaime Vargas

I am making a syntax module for the Rebol language and I am having trouble getting some keywords to match properly. This expression works: match = "(action!|any-block!|any-function!|)" but it is not ideal for I needed it to work with word boundaries. When I include word boundaries in the regex, the rule is never matched. match = "\\<(action!|any-block!|any-function!|)\\>" I think this is a problem with the exclamation point "!". I have tried using it with these escape sequences: \!, \\!, \041 \\041; with no luck so far. I had the same problem with keywords having the question mark "?" in them, ie: match = "\\<(about|abs|absolute|action?|add|alert|type?)\\>" Ideas would be most welcome. Is there a limitation in the regex engine? Thanks, Jaime

Smart typing in comments

by Drew McLellan

It would be useful if smart typing wasn't active when writing code comments. The reason being you're more likely to be writing natural language sentences than code. for example: <?php // Don't forget the elephants! $elephants = true; ?> with smart typing comes out like this: <?php // Don't forget the elephants!' $elephants = true; ?> What do other's think? drew.
