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

Re: Heuristic for smart typing pairs

by Chris Jenkins

Allan, I will do that, Ive asked her this morning, she's working on some other stuff at the moment but I'll let you know as soon as possible. For myself its a huge improvement, definitely works for me, I had made a few commands that would wrap the current selection with quotes etc, but this is much better, TextMate seems more and more to able to read my mind! Nice one.

[TextMate] smart typing in 1.0.2b1

by Eric Hsu

It's great to see such weekly improvement of this product! Smart typing is almost incredibly cool. I like the 'no doubling if there's text in front' and the 'surround selection with braces' is awesome... I was about to try to write a macro or command to simulate this. Issue 1. Documents with syntax highlighting disabled don't have smart typing turned on, regardless of setting. I assume this is a little bug and not intended behavior. Issue 2. If I'm typing in the middle of the ()'s, I still have to right-arrow over the last ) to get to the rest of the typing. Am I supposed to be able to Tab out of the braces somehow? Otherwise, it's not really saving me a keystroke since -> and ) are about equally hard for me to hit. Alpha under OS9 had an interesting implementation of this, where they used bullets like • to mark tab stops; then when you hit Tab, you knew you were jumping to the next bullet... - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Activate internet protocols by command-click

by jose.campos+tm＠galacsys.com

Hi All, In some (many?) applications, one can activate internet protocols by command-clicking on a portion of text that looks like an internet address. For instance in MacSOUP, a command-click on : www.macromates.com will launch <http://www.macromates.com/> in my prefered browser. Other text editor can do so. Is that feature system-dependant? Could it be easily implemented in TM? Have a nice day, -- Jo <W:00°04'37" ; N:47°15'36"> 1....'....12.....'....24.....'....36.....'....48.....'....60.....'....72

[TextMate] Beta 2 - Custom Bundles no longer Load

I just installed the latest beta, and now all the Syntax highlighting options I had set for PHP are gone (I can't stand the white background, and prefer the darker ones). Anyway, the bundle is still in my home directory (~Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles), but does not show up in Syntax Highlight As...I removed it from that directory, and reinstalled it, but no luck...Any ideas????

[TextMate] Printing options?

by Allan Odgaard

So after a few days of (hopefully) well deserved vacation, I'm back to TM development, and I'm currently adding support for printing. But printing plain text from a plain text editor is really alien to me ;) so I was curious, what options do people expect to see? I.e. should it always be soft wrapped? Should the font be changeable in the printing dialog, or just use the document font? Should it have the option to print with/without line numbers? Another tab-size? How about syntax-highlight, should that be turned into b/w (there's a quartz filter to turn it into grey-scale by default)? etc. etc. If you do use/desire printing, let me know which “options” you use (let's try not to mention all the things printing _could_ have) and what stuff you actually do print (as plain text), especially the latter will help me better understand the target audience for this feature! Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Heuristic for smart typing pairs

by Chris Jenkins

Ive been watching a few colleagues of mine using TextMate and one of them has switched off the smart typing as she finds it doesn't really help her, the reason is to do with the way she works, which admittedly is slightly inefficient, but I myself have fallen foul of this as well, here's what she does: She types a word and then decides it needs to be a string, so she steps the caret back to the start of the word and types a quote, but 2 quotes get added so she then has to delete one of them, then she moves to the end of the word and types the closing quote, and the same thing happens. So she switches the feature off as its "annoying". Now she could make a command to wrap a selection in quotes (as I have done), but it would be nicer if it could be smarter about when to insert the pair. Perhaps the pair of characters only get added if they are surrounded by white space, or if some customisable regex is matched?

[TextMate] Re: Printing options?

I second this idea, and I also think that print options should be relatively simple: use the document font and tabs, and allow a choice of printing with syntax highlighting on or off (or just use the greyscale Quartz filter). There should also be an option to print to PDF, as in the standard MacOS X Print dialog. Would it also be possible to print from the web preview? I often write short notes for others in Markdown, so that I can send them a marginally more pretty version to them as hard copy or PDF, but keep a simple text file for myself. It would be nice to be able to print it from the rendered web preview, without having to render it as a separate HTML file, open that in a browser and print from there.

[TextMate] multiple folding structures for latex

by profprof＠mac.com

Hello, I am trying to improve the syntaxe for the Latex bundle. However, I am not familiar with plist. In addition to structures of the type \begin{..} \end{...} I would like to add a folding of the \section, \chapter, \subsection structure. For this, I thought of adding in a snipped a line at the end of these structures which would be considered as a comment by Latex: \section{This is a section} %\end-section{This is a section} \section{A new section} .... I have tried to modified the current Latex.plist to : <key>foldingStartMarker</key> <string>(\\begin\{.*\}|\\(((sub)*section)|(chapter)|(paragraph)|(part))(\*?)\{.*\})</string> <key>foldingStopMarker</key> <string>(\\end\{.*\}|%\\end-(((sub)*section)|(chapter)|(paragraph)|(part))(\*?)\{.*\})</string> However, this does not work very well as if there is any substructure in a \section of the type (\end{equation}, for example), the folding occurs from \section to \end{equation}. Anybody could tell me how to correct that?? I thank you in advance! Normand Mousseau

I _could_ make the file extensions regular expressions, but I would prefer a user workaround, since the rest of OS X does use fixed text extensions more or less exclusively (if we ignore the legacy stuff with four characters creator/type codes).

[TextMate] Treat files with... where is info stored?

Hi All, In the project drawer, a right-click on a file icon opens a dialog where one can find : Treat Files with ".xxx" Extension as Text Where does TM store this infos afterwards? Did not find anything in "Application Support" nor in "Preferences" The point is to have TM consider files with a variable extension as text, like the ones I have to deal with : the extension is a 8-digit number representing the date the document was edited (*.20041023 for instance) Thanks, -- Jo <W:00°04'37" ; N:47°15'36"> 1....'....12.....'....24.....'....36.....'....48.....'....60.....'....72

[TextMate] Web Preview Enhancements

by James Adam

Hello all. I'm not sure why people have seized upon this font-size issue. It is, as a few people have already noted, a minor point, and anyone who really cares can change it just like I did. What is *really* important are the other, functional behaviour changes I suggested: 1. Store the Base URL in the project file. Why must I retype this every time the Preview disappears, speaking of which: 2. Keep the preview open until *I* close it, don't make it disappear. If a user opened it, chances are they're doing web design, and they'll want to use it again. This shouldn't be hard, right? 3. Change the preview to display the contents of the current tab *if that tab is HTML*. Quick Hint: if you are syntax-highlighting something as HTML, you should sensibly be able to preview it. Likewise for PHP. This is a bit trickier, yes. 4. Have an option to update the view if *any* project file changes. This is probably on a par in implementational difficulty with the previous suggestion. --- Justin says: > Firefox and Safari and pretty much every other browser ship with 16px > -- I'm 99% certain of this. Eventually a preference is planned for > you > to pick your own I think. When the first betas shipped, it was set to > 12, but people complained about it not being like Safari and Firefox, > so whatyagonnado? Set it to the same value as Safari and Firefox - surely the majority of the mac browser share. Why would you ever set it differently? Why 12pts? ... > Can't please everyone until there's a font size preview -- and even if > TM were to preview things EXACTLY the way YOU prefer (14px), it's only > previewing your Safari/Firefox set-up, not previewing my set-up, or > some guy down the road surfing the web on his XBox. ... if the font value was the same as the default for other browsers, you'd please *most* people. If that's 16pts, not 14pts, fine - i was just guessing as I hacked around. I could be wrong, and in this case, my eyes were a few pts out :) My point is, why is TextMate deliberately different from what seems to be the standard here? > It's a quick and handy HTML preview, not a full-on browser... and isn't > that good enough? For a preview to be useful, it needs to be somewhat accurate, especially if you are using it for CSS design. I don't ask for a full on browser (presumably by that you mean history, bookmarks?), just a quick pane that displays reasonably accurately what the page I'm hacking up will look like in most browsers. Timothy says: > I have to side with Justin here. You > should leave the Browser default text size alone especially when > testing design & accessibility. I'm not suggesting that I'd want to change it as part of my design process. Just that it be set to a better default value. I'll repeat - I don't understand why the OakWebPreview sets it's default to 12pts if the two most popular browsers are different. I'd love to hear a justification. A preference to change it at some point would be great, but clearly isn't high-priority, nor do I feel it should be. Just set the default sensibly - doesn't that better fit the TextMate philosophy of "no preferences"? Someone wondered if anyone codes static HTML pages any more. Surely the answer is YES! Pretty much everyone does. Most design takes place using placeholder content - a static page - which is the broken up and fed to the appropriate dynamic parts of Rails, Smarty or whatever. If there are people designing html using only fragments and relying on dynamic systems to put them all together without even once just checking that the html jigsaw pieces they are carving fit together nicely, well kudos to you :) I must be old school, but I design the whole page first (with forethought, of course), and then separate the components into different files/functions. Kumar said: > I would also vote to not put too much development > into WebPreview since Safari is only a command-tab + command-R away.... > unless there was a feature like SubEthaEdit that did WebPreview in > realtime as you type. The Web Preview *does* auto-update, like SubEthaEdit, unless I am imagining things, and that is what makes it most useful. Why hit the keyboard at all if you don't have to. --- I've suggested some simple aesthetic changes, and some simple behavioural changes that AFAIK won't take more than a few hours consideration, but will surely improve the usefulness of the Web Preview feature for those of us that do feel it is handy. The font-size note is tiny compared to these other 'ideas'. Does anyone else think Web Preview is useful? If you don't use it... you've not lost anything. If you do, you've gained a lot. I hope I've made my case more effectively here, thanks for reading guys. - James

[TextMate] Thoughts on doubleclick selection

by John Blitch

Hello! I have to get this out of my system: this is possibly my favorite new mac app. Amazing work! Anyway, these are my thoughts about how TextMate should respond to double-clicks on text, based on my preferences and the way other mac applications like BBedit or TextEdit perform. When I double click on whitespace, I like for the selection to stop at the beginning/end of the line, or the nearest adjacent non-whitespace character, whichcever comes first: [ ]word word Textmate selects the white space until the beginning/end of the line, or the nearest adjacent word, whichever comes first: [ word] word When I double click on a word, and then shift click to the right or left of the selected word, I like the selection to expand to include the word or whitespace I shift-clicked on: [word] --> [ word] Textmate, interestingly, does this when I click to the right of a selected word, but when I click to the left of one, the selection is changed to the characters between where I clicked and the beginning of the old selection: word [word] --> [word ]word I'd say it's praise that this is my biggest gripe after switching to TextMate a little less than 24 hours ago. Yeay textmate! John

[TextMate] Web Preview Enhancements

by James Adam

(copied from http://interblah.net/2004/10/22/textmate-web-preview/ ) I have posted some feedback about the Web Preview to the [wiki](http://wiki.macromates.com), along with a [screenshot](http://www.lazyatom.com/media/images/textmate-web- preview.jpg). I'm happy to provide my revised .nib file too. In summary, and in order of perceived importance, the changes are: * changed the base font size of the OakWebPreview to 14 - this way it matches at least my setup for Safari and Firefox, and I'm not aware of every having changed the defaults in those apps. Either way, ENSURE that the font sizes are similar, otherwise the preview is pretty much useless. * move, resize, relabel and re-anchor the "Back", "Forward", and "Reload" buttons. The top row of controls is now Back, Forward, URL, Reload. This more closely-matches real browsers. The Reload could be placed to the left of the URL, the important point is that these controls go on top * Remove the window texture - it's unnecessary, and unattractive. This isn't a rant against metal, I like metal, it's just *better* as aqua here. * Resize the "Show Options" checkbox to "small", and place it flush against the bottom of the view. Then Increase the vertical size of the OakWebPreview accordingly. ### Feature Requests 1. Have the web preview always shown, if it has been opened. It should then display whatever is in the selected tab, if the file meets some "web previewable" criteria. If the current tab is showing an html file, or a php file, or a .asp file, change the web preview to it, otherwise, leave it displaying the last file that did match. This will enable a lot of very useful editing, like changing the CSS and having the preview update automagically, as outlined next. 2. Have another option which updates the preview, after whatever delay, if ANY file in the project is changed. This way, I can: * edit an html, open the web preview * check the NEW "update if any file is modified" option on the web preview (a project-persistent option) * switch to the CSS (or JS, whatever) in the project. Note that since CSS/JS aren't "previewable", the web preview window still shows the html file * as changes are made to the file, the web preview is told to update, with whatever delay * now, the consequences of any changes I make to external files are updated automatically in the preview This feature would REALLY kick ass. You know it. 3. Keep the "Base URL" persistent within a single project. Store the base url within that project! This doesn't require a preference, just each time it's manually updated, change the entry in the .tmproj file None of these features/fixes are very hard, nor can I think of any way that they negatively impair the current workings of TextMate - what are the chances of seeing any of them in 1.0.2?

[TextMate] PHPDoc bundle released

by kumar mcmillan

This is a very simple set of snippets to automate your PHP Documentor tags [http://www.phpdoc.org/] while writing PHP classes using TextMate. download: http://farmdev.com/downloads/PHPDoc.tar.gz Here are the commands: phpdoc_c : creates a PHPDoc class block phpdoc_d : creates a PHPDoc definition block (constant definition) phpdoc_f : creates a PHPDoc function block phpdoc_h : creates a PHPDoc header for the top of your script phpdoc_v : creates a PHPDoc class variable ** There is a very nice feature in TextMate that allows you to reference a cursor position in a snippet by simply repeating the numeric variable. What I like to do when writing functions is always comment the end of the function with its name so you know what the last trailing bracket is closing. This is fully automated for class and function blocks. As an example: function do_something($input) { // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... // lots of code ... } // END function do_something($input) I must also say that with TextMate 1.0.1 I am sold! Many thanks to the dev team and hopefully my license will help keep things moving. And feel free to include this in the default package if you see fit. --- Here is a complete example of how a script would look using these snippets : <?php /** * Description of document * * @author Author Name * @version $Id$ * @copyright Author Name, 22 October, 2004 * @package default **/ /** * Define DocBlock **/ /** * undocumented class * * @package default * @author author **/ class Some_Class { /** * undocumented class variable * * @access public * @var string **/ var $some_var; /** * undocumented function * * @access public * @return void * @param string $input * @author author **/ function do_something_cool($input) { } // END function do_something_cool($input) } // END class Some_Class ?>

[TextMate] Weird "refresh" when switching back to TextMate after a save.

by Dominique Peretti

I'm working on a big php class file (with heavy coloring syntax bundle). I modify something. I save the file. I go to Safari and test. When I switch back to TextMate, it looks like TM is refreshing everyhing, being unavailable for 2 or 3 seconds with the spinning wheel. Then it seems to move to the caret (like when one presses command-J). Note that this does not happen if I don't save the file before. Dominique PERETTI http://www.lachoseinteractive.net

[TextMate] Syntax higlighting overriden by 1.0.1?

by bongoman

Hi there When I fired up the latest release, it seems that it has overriden my custom PHP/HTML syntax coloring. I had my own version in my home directory in the correct location. All of a sudden my php pages are with a dark background (#2e2e2e) when set to HTML(PHP) coloring. The weird thing is I can't find a reference to this hex value in any of the bundle files so I'm at a loss to correct it. I thought the bundle file saved as HTML-PHP.plist set the syntax coloring for HTML(PHP). If so, why is my local version with it's background color of #efefef not taking effect? Any clues appreciated... bongoman

[TextMate] Find peculiarities

by Richard Chamberlain

Hi, It may just be me but Find doesn't seem to work very well at the moment. (b8 btw) I've got a reasonably large file open (about 400 lines) and if I have no text selected I can Find no problem. If all of the text is selected (Through Select All) then Find doesn't work with either 'Entire File' or 'Selected Text'. If a small portion of text is selected then 'Entire File' appears to work but 'Selected Text' functions the same as Entire File, i.e. it ignores the selected text boundaries. Anyone seeing the same thing? Thanks, Richard

[TextMate] Shifting Selections and Folded Sections

by Gavin Kistner

1) If I put the cursor at the front of a collapsed, folded section and press tab, I expected (and desire) it to be the equivalent of performing a Shift Right on the entire fold. 2) (more controversial, perhaps) if I select a few lines, starting in the middle of the first line, I expect/desire Shift Right and Left to apply to the start of the line where the selection starts, not to insert tabs in the middle of it. In the following example, | marks the start and end of the selection: class Foo def bar puts "That's gre|at it starts with an earthquake" puts "birds and snakes and aeroplanes" puts "and Lenny |Bruce is not afraid." end end This selection is because I was in the middle of the word 'great' and performed shift+down arrow twice. When I Shift Right, it should do this: class Foo def bar | puts "That's great it starts with an earthquake" puts "birds and snakes and aeroplanes" puts "and Lenny Bruce is not afraid." | end end And not this: class Foo def bar puts "That's gre |at it starts with an earthquake" puts "birds and snakes and aeroplanes" puts "and Lenny |Bruce is not afraid." end end A workaround that I suppose I could get used to is to perform Select Line after selecting the text, before shifting...but that should happen automatically. (As noted in the example, the act of shifting left/right should not only affect the entire line, it should also select the full lines.) Operating in rectangular selection/column mode is a different story, but doesn't change how it should (IMO) behave in this case. -- (-, /\ \/ / /\/

[TextMate] cursor centering ... is it a bug?

by olivier hericord

hi....switching from tab to tab in textmate leads to a recentering of each page on the cursor...is it a feature or a bug? if it's a feature it would be cool to be able to switch it off on a user preference basis .... i find this terribly annoying cause that prevent me to scroll a text to see a portion of code, and then to switch back and forth .... i also have this undo stack disappearing .... very strange keep up the good work...textmate rocks thanks

[TextMate] Set Mark

by Wayne Larsen

Hi all, With window splitting implemented, I may consider switching from emacs. One thing that gets me though is that 'Set Mark' does not seem to work properly. I use this all the time to select a block of text without having to hold down shift. "setMark:" is set in my Default Key Binding, yet I get the blip of unknown command from TextMate when I try to use it. This works great in TextEdit, btw. What do other people use to select text without using the mouse? I could hold down shift, but then that blocks me from using my other bindings (^p and ^n for line up and down respectively). Is shift and the arrow keys the only option? Thanks, Wayne

[TextMate] re: Heuristic for smart typing pairs

by Chris Jenkins

Heres another idea which Im pretty sure would satisfy my original comment. Currently TM inserts the closing character of the pair at the same point as the user types the opening character, if on the other hand it waits for one more key press before deciding whether to insert the closing part of the pair, it could perhaps make a better guess as to whether that is what the user wants. For example; moving the cursor could be construed as a cancelling operation, so the closing character would be omitted if the user simply pops back to add a quote character to the start of a word and then clicks somewhere else in the document (or uses the arrow keys), whereas simply continuing to type after pressing the opening character would be construed as a confirmation and the closing character inserted as it is now. so what im saying is: wait to see what the user types next, and then decide whether to insert the closing part of the pair. does that make sense?

[TextMate] Text clarity

by Drew McLellan

I'm not sure if this relates to my system or a particular (undocumented) tweak in the latest build, but all the outstanding text peculiarities have cleared up. For example, in ProFont 9pt anti-aliased I was seeing a lowercase 'L' being represented at double thickness (2px). This has all gone, and it's *beautiful*. Along with all the other visual tweaks in the latest build, TextMate is really sweeping me away. My dollars are going down today. New customer. drew.

[TextMate] Selection Idea

by James Andrews

Not sure if this has been suggested before (or even if it already lies hidden beneath the sleek exterior of TM and I'm just an idiot), but I would like to be able to shift-click or alt-click on a fold to select all contained text rather than expanding or collapsing the fold. This can then be used for drag/drop, copy/cut and paste and, most importantly for me, search and replace criteria, i.e. allowing me to use search within selection to quickly do replaces within a single defined function or other logical block. A further possibility, which may be a step too far, is to use shift-alt click to select multiple, non-contiguous, folds though I suspect that this would be too confusing and not useful enough. Views? Thanks again for a great product. Cheers, James

[TextMate] Re: Heuristic for smart typing pairs

by Chris Jenkins

Yeah, that's what I figured, in fact the more I think about it, the less simple it seems to become! Its one of those classic software problems, in making something "smart" there are always occasions when its not so smart. Perhaps Ill just get my friend to adjust her typing style. > "only surrounded by white space" doesn't work -- consider something > like $foo[' which smart typing should match with '] automatically, yet > neither the [ or ' are surrounded by white space. > > "only FOLLOWED by white space" is a bit better, but still doesn't work > > "only surrounded by white space or other smart typing pairs" is a lot > better > > ... but I think in practice, it will take a lot of thinking before a > real solution is found... no quick patch here :) ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

[TextMate] Ruby regexp highlighting

by Peter McMaster

The ruby regexp highlighting works much better now, but still gets confused by something like: %r{hel{2,10}o} (The highlighting stops at the first "}"). Adding this: { name = "Arbitrary repetition"; match = "({\\d+(,\d+)?})"; foregroundColor = "#CCCC33"; } to the Regular Expression II set in Ruby.plist appears to sort this. Doesn't work if you have a regexp like this though: %r{foo\{2,10} Admittedly it's a bit of an extreme edge case, but if someone with better regexp skillz feels like figuring it out... (Note: I don't subscribe to this list, but do check the archives every so often.) - Peter

[TextMate][command] W3C validator

Hi All, I'm trying to create a new command to submit current file to W3C html validator. This one does not work : open http://validator.w3.org/check/$TM_FILEPATH Of cours I could install the validator directly in MacOS X as <http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/validator.html> but the first way seemed easier.

[TextMate] Custom Shell Variables question

by Mats Persson

OK, I might be opening my mouth and removing all doubts about my stupidity here, but I can't think of a solution to this problem, so here goes.. I have a project in the following location: [ /Users/mats/Sites/projectName/ ] In my template I use Custom Shell variables to auto-enter the relevant info. The "TM_FILEPATH" returns: [ /Volumes/WorkDisk/Users/mats/Sites/projectName/index.php ] *but* I would prefer to have: [ /projectName/index.php ] in other words remove [ /Volumes/WorkDisk/Users/mats/Sites ] from the TM_FILEPATH or alternatively create a new shell variable with this info only. I guess that I would use some form of 'grep' and remove the bits that I don't want, but I can't work out how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Mats

[TextMate] Find & Replace problems in b8

by Sune Foldager

A few Find&Replace problems: 1. If you Replace and Find without a prior Find, it will just insert the replace text at the carret. This could be a feature, but I think it would be better if it just did a Find in that case instead. 2. When a window is outof focus, selection highlighting is dimmed. This makes it _very_ hard to see where Find has found a particular word since the Find window is the active one during F&R. -- Sune.

[TextMate] Feature Request: Per Project Shell Variables

In a very spooky coincidence I was just writing an e-mail with this feature request when the above appeared in my inbox. : ) So here's my take on project-specific shell variables. As a web developer I have a number of current projects on the go in my ~Sites folder. For each project I have a number of variables that are common and would ideally be possible to collect and auto-enter into new files or Macros. Examples: Project Dev URL: (local desktop URL) Project Live URL: ClientName: Development Version: etc etc. So I was thinking that we could have the following section in the .tmproj file, (which is a .plist file really): <key>ProjectShellVariables</key> <dict> <key>TM_PROJECT_CLIENTNAME</key> <string>MacroMates.</string> <key>TM_PROJECT_VERSION</key> <string>1.0</string> <key>TM_PROJECT_LIVEURL</key> <string>http://www.macromates.com/</string> <key> TM_PROJECT_DEVURL</key> <string>http://macromates.dev/</string> </dict> Later on there could be a GUI for this functionality as well - sort of a copy of Macros/Snippets/Commands window -, but to begin with we could open the .tmproj file in TM / Property List Editor and add/change our own variables. If these variables could be accessed in Snippets, Commands and when creating new files as well it would be even greater. Also if the .tmproj file could remember the toggled state of groups/directories inside the project drawer when closing the project it would be great as well. Kind regards, Mats
