[TextMate] File creation

by Jeroen

Hi, There seems to be a small problem with registering files in projects. I created a new file, dragged a folder to the project pane and created a new 'normal' project folder. In that new folder I created a new file, which then also shows up in the 'finder' folder. I end up with two references to the same file in the project drawer and have to remove either one by hand. Another small thing is that commands that are run by TextMate are not killed once I kill TextMate using Force Quit. Not sure whether this is a problem of TextMate or from how job management works on OS X. Jeroen.

[TextMate] File path

by Richard Chamberlain

Hello, Is there any easy way to get the path of a file if you haven't opened it in a project window? Today I had to edit two csv files in different directories with the same filename, copy parts between files. It got very confusing very quickly! Something in the statusbar perhaps, or a tooltip when you rest over the window title? Thanks, Richard

[TextMate] Feature request: per-file-type commands

by Jim Menard

It would be nice if I could specify a per-file-type command. The same key stroke would run different commands for different file types. For example, I'd like to run "rake" for Ruby files, "ant" for Java, etc. Actually, I'd like TextMate to read my mind and figure out if I use make or Ant for a particular project. Hmm...that gives me an idea for a script: start at the current directory, looking for a makefile, Rakefile, or Ant build.xml file. If none is found, look in the parent directory. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Execute whichever comes first. I already have a script that looks for makefiles this way; it shouldn't be too difficult to modify to look for the three kinds of files. Here's a really wacky feature request: a way to specify an argument to the command each time I run it. When I'm developing, sometimes I want to run "make" then "make set-up-test-data" then "make test", or do things in a different order. Thanks for listening.

[TextMate] Suggestion: Jump to function/class/method

by James Hill

A very handy little feature in jkEdit is the ability to jump to functions/classes/methods from a dropdown at the top of the page, is this viable? This along with the split views would keep my programmer (and I'm sure a lot more JEdit users) VERY happy. Kind Regards, Jamie

[TextMate] New tabs (b8)

by Chris Jenkins

I think the new tabs are looking nice, the darker colour for deselected tabs is clearer, (although I did like the blue original ones), but Im not sure that the truncation of the width at 100 pixels is a good thing, if there is enough space in the header bar then Id like to see the names in full, perhaps the names could get truncated when the bar gets full up? The new tabs would work well with a bar ala BBEdit with function list and stuff in it, perhaps even the status bar could make its way back up to the top? (see attached mockup).

[TextMate] tabs, tabs, tabs

by Justin French

Had another go at the tab thing tonight, trying to get it a little more "aqua"... The result is attached. Both Allan and myself have pretty much turned down the idea. Whilst I think they look great, they're a little too small, and the X and dot don't stand out enough... I'd probably have to start again with a new (slightly larger) "red ball" (this one was borrowed from OmniWeb). But these flat crosses are becoming a little bit of a de-facto OSX standard in one form or another -- most tabbed apps are using them, so I figure there's no need to rock the boat. We're also ummming and ahhhhing about coloring the selected tab from white to something else (like an Aqua blue), but my preference is definitely white. For what it's worth (Drew, et al), yes, I'd love to have the selected tab bleed into the document, but Allan doesn't dig it, and it does have some issues in regards to the colour of the document (eg Ruby's black) which are a not exactly simple to work around. One day maybe :) Justin

[TextMate] Re: Window splitting

by James Hill

With regards to Allans comment about the window splitting, this would be great as I have a couple of guys who won't move from JEdit because of this one feature. They are doing PHP, XHTML and CSS. Keep up the good work, this is turning out to be a cracking little editor.

[TextMate] Couple little gnats

by Phil Aaronson

Hi All, Just a couple little usability gnats (beta 6): 1. Cutting and pasting of code pretty much always doubles the indent. Which drives us newbies to drink for a while until we finally discover the indent paste behavior that you can set. Does anyone have this on? Seems like turning it off would make the better default behavior. It would have saved me several days of swearing under my breath each time :) 2. I noticed that the code folding actions are not in the undo stack. Sort of a bummer. I've caught myself trying to undo a fold only to have some change I made previous to that be undone. Thanks, Phil

[TextMate] status bar bug

by Jeff Ganyard

Hiding then showing the status bar can move the insertion cursor off the bottom of the displayed document. To reproduce: Scroll to the end of a document, put the insertion cursor at the of a document. Hide Status Bar Show Status bar I guess it depends on where you want the status bar to 'steal its display space. I would think you would want to avoid moving the document which you currently do. That means 'stealing' from the top of the display (suggested new behavior and the inverse of of what Hide Status Bar does)). However, if the cursor is in the region to be stolen, you should probably push it down (current behavior).

[TextMate] Tip: metadata and controlled vocabulary

by Merlin Mann

This is a just a little tip for folks who run their life in TextMate (as I have begun to). I have a single TextMate project in which I keep and maintain all my todo lists, project files, reference notes, etc. I'm a bit of a "[Getting Things Done][1]" nerd, so I admit to spending a lot of time fiddling around with lists. :) I've evolved a standard header that I use for most of my txt documents that is similar to this example from my "Next Actions" (aka "to-do") list : ## Next Actions * _file_: "next.txt" * _purpose_: list of next actions needed for projects * _meta_: todo, next actions, task Nothing too spectacular, but the little metadata line has really started to come in handy; I now can do a "`Find in Project`" on all my files and pick up any relevant hits--even when the term is not expressly mentioned in a given line of text. It's a great way to bubble up hidden content--even when it's many layers deep in the Finder. The other, related tip, which I've mentioned before on [my site][2] is to try and standardize your vocabulary for TODOs or anything else you'll want to locate in a pile. I try to begin all of my TODOs with a verb followed by a fairly detailed phrase. E.g. : Buy propane at Albertson's Google the best way to run DynDNS on a Linksys; how to retain links? Email John about his site updates for Friday This becomes really useful for GREPing a list of related topics and even generating a new one. TextMate has really made me want to hone my modest shell skills to learn what it can do, because it seems pretty limitless. I'm just starting to install a few commands that will concatenate related files and generate these kinds of searches on the fly. I'd love to hear how other folks are using TM and the shell for tasks outside development, web design, etc. There's an awful of of power under that hood.

[TextMate] Re: folding idea

by Chris Jenkins

Here's a screenshot. The vertical lines join identical levels of hierarchy and should always be paired with a set of folding markers in the gutter (I changed the folding icons), perhaps the joining lines could in some way also be clickable? Im not sure about this however, I principally see it as a way of identifying which close bracket belongs to which opening bracket over long pieces of code that cant all fit on screen at a time. Anyone got any other ideas? Chris ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

[TextMate] TM 1.0.1b7: Switching Tabs issues

by Mats Persson

Hi Allan, Not sure this is a bug or some hidden feature, so therefore the posting here. Just played with b7 for a few seconds, and love the improvements overall, but found this irritation: When you switch between tabs (open docs) your window moves to centre the current line where the cursor happens to be. Although I can't swear that this was not the case before, I had not noticed it, but now I do, and it is a bit irritating. Is there some setting hidden away somewhere or just one of those things that will be changed in b8 ?? Hope I made myself clear ?? Kind regards, Mats

[TextMate] Leave the tabs as they were

[TextMate] Left Padding

by Michael Sheets

Could there be some padding on the left side of the text? It's so close, kind of distracting. 2-3 pixels maybe, or just even it up with the padding on the top.

[TextMate] Shift Left, Shift Right

by Michael Gregoire

Ok, there is one nagging problem I've been having that no one has seemed to bring up yet. What is the arrow symbol (for Shift Left and Shift Right) equivalent to on my powerbook? I've checked the Mac help and the symbol isn't even listed in it's Special Key guide. I've attached a screenshot of the help page, as you can see it's not there. I've tried every combination of keys that I can think of, but nothing works. I have to resort to choosing it from the menu. Thanks Mike

[TextMate] Window splitting?

by Chris Jenkins

Title says it all, is this a planned feature? You know, a single window split into 2 or more different views of the same document? Actually what would also be very cool, would be the idea of 2 panes within a single window showing *different* documents, but I cant quite see how the UI could handle it elegantly (without repeating the tabs), other editors have tried this but it usually ends up looking rather confusing. Probably someone will reply and tell me that its in the current version and I just cant see it!

[TextMate] re: Window splitting?

by Chris Jenkins

Allan, That's good to hear, I didn't mean to be pushy, the product is fantastic and you deserve a lot of recognition for not only making the thing, but for bothering to listen so closely to the community, there's many a company that doesn't. I haven't been this excited about a new product in a long time!

[TextMate] suggestion: Grouping the commands/snippets

by Raena Armitage

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I'll throw it out there -- My collections of commands and snippets are both getting a little long, and as I add more I can see it becoming a bit of a task to pick them from a popdown menu. Is it possible to group these somehow, so that we can choose from submenus instead of the super-long scrolling menu from hell? I know that using the trigger+tab shortcuts sort of obviates the need for this in the snippets, but I'm still getting used to the idea of using the triggers and need to lean on the menu -- plus I can see it being a pest for the commmands. thanks, Raena

[TextMate] v1.0.1b7 Status Bar Inconsistancy

by Ivan Pan

I don't know if this only apply to v1.0.1b7. When in single window mode, the status bar is on top. When in project management mode, the status bar is on the bottom. Can we have an unified position for status bar, on the bottom for example? Or is there a reason for the alternating positions?

[TextMate] Folding idea

by Chris Jenkins

A cool addition to the folding would be to draw some form of connector between the start of the fold and the end, not in the margin, but actually within the code, then not only do you get an indication of which folding markers belong together, you also get a nice indication of where ifs and loops end, which if they are very long is quite tricky, (even if the indenting is correct). The Actionscript editor SEPY does something like this, but it runs like crap on the Mac. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

[TextMate] b7 project drawer visuals

by Johan Sörensen

Hi, I know I'm being anal about this, but then again I am a mac user, but I'm not really sure I like the bold for the folders in the projectdrawer. They are already plenty visually marked with the standard mac os folder icon, no need to bold up the text, in fact, this is probably the first application where I've seen this (afaik). I'm also not too sure about the file-texts being ~80% black, but that I can live with, it's just the boldness of the folders that's a little too much! If you do want them to be like that, and I'm the only one bothered by it, would it be possible for a way to turn them off? (preferably with a defaults write) -- johan

[TextMate] some suggestions for search & replace

by C J Silverio

I've now spent a couple of weekends writing code with TextMate, which is I think enough time to understand its way of working. Some of the things I like most about it come from the language syntax bundles, which are really powerful and flexible. That's a great feature and a real selling point. Typing close characters for me: nice. Auto-completion: nice. C++ class templates: nice. I like the spare look, no stinkin' toolbars cluttering stuff up and distracting from my all-important data. Love the new tab look in b7. (Maybe a tad darker to set them off more from their background? Eh, maybe not.) Also love the sharp new approach to drawing the selection. Much more readable! Inevitably, I have suggestions. Users, they're so annoying that way! Most of my suggestions have to do with searching. TextMate doesn't feel quite right, yet. (I've scanned a bunch of the previous messages to the list, but not enough to be sure these weren't discussed already. Apologies if I'm repeating the past.) - Keyboard accelerator for "replace and find next". For the love of god, Montresor! - "Find the selection" action, with keyboard accelerator. (Yes, it can be macroed, but why should I have to macro such an important action?) - Scroll the text to keep the cursor in the "hot zone" when possible. E.g., if you have to scroll to make the result of a search visible, scroll enough to put the new selection in the middle of the screen. Repeated find-nexts though large files always seem to end up for me with the selection on the bottom-most line, with no context visible. Yuck! - For extra points, place the selection where it won't be hidden by the Find dialog, which is often covering up the text. (But you're going to add a replace-and-find-next accelerator, so the Find dialog won't be shown so often and this won't matter as much. Right?) - Bigger fields in the find/replace dialog, please! Try copying some text that spans multiple lines and pasting that into the find field. Hard to deal with, yes? - Whole word matching option, please, controlled by a checkbox on the find dialog. I often want this without wanting the bother of writing a regular expression every time. - Multi-file search outside of project groups, please! Minimal implementation searches all the files in a particular directory with optional descent into subdirectories. This is a switch-blocker for me, and I bet it would make lots of other people happy. More controversially: You're probably sick of hearing this, but please reconsider adding an app preferences dialog. It will do two things for you: - It will clear out rarely-changed items that are currently cluttering your menus. - It will make clear which preferences are app-wide, and which ones are settings for the current document. - Bonus: your app will feel more Mac-like than it does now. Remember, it does me no good to have easy access to stuff I set once, then never ever change again. As I think about that suggestion and fiddle with things, I begin to realize that TextMate doesn't have per-document settings, and that the appearance of having them is a bug. For instance, open two documents. Turn on text wrapping in one. Note that only the selected document at the time you change the setting is affected. This leads you to believe that wrapping is a document setting. But if you quit TextMate and restart, suddenly all documents are getting text-wrapped. Whoops. I would suggest that some choices should be saved with the document, as part of its state (cursor position, selection, wrap, font choice, etc). Those settings belong in menus. Consider making anything you expect the user to change often part of the document state. Any setting that affects all documents probably belongs in a preference dialog, tucked out of the way. I can argue this the other way, that adding document state is more trouble than it's worth. BBEdit does it, and I like it. Soft line wrap in particular is something that I definitely want on some documents and definitely don't want on others. Worth thinking about, anyway. Boy, I got longwinded. Hope at least some of this is helpful. Thanks for making such a solid editor, and hope you enjoy that new G5! --ceej

[TextMate] Can't get my mittens on 1.01b7, site seems to be down

by Jonas Voss

Hi there, My fingers are itching to get the latest beta, as everyone raves about, but I can't seem to download it. TM itself says "Remote file or URL was invalid" when checking from within the app, and I can't contact the macromates website either. Could some kind soul make 1.01b7 available somewhere, pretty please? Oh, and Allan et al. TM is the first editor I ever paid for (been using a mix of vim, SEE, and Smultron so far). Cheers, Jonas

[TextMate] and some more on making selections

by C J Silverio

A few more suggestions on minor issues: - Chunk up undo actions. E.g., undo shouldn't undo a bunch of typing by single letters, but instead by the whole typing episode. - When I'm selecting big ranges of text, and I've moved the mouse to or beyond the top or bottom of the page, scroll to reveal more text and extend the selection. - Selecting lines is funky with lines that consist of only a newline. For instance, triple-click to select a line that's part of a block, then sweep the cursor down. The selection will "stick" above the first blank line, then snap down to grab that and the first non-empty line as you sweep downward. What if I want to grab a block with its trailing whitespace and move the whole thing? I can't. - Tiny bug: To reproduce this, cut or delete some selected text, then undo the cut. The restored text is selected, good. Now move the cursor with an arrow key: doesn't move as expected! It seems to be offsetting from the middle of the selection, instead of from the bounds. This happens if you make a selection and copy it, as well. --ceej

[TextMate] b7 rocks

by Justin French

TM 1.0.1 B7 (which I just downloaded) feels really nice. The new tabs I'm experimenting with feel and look nice, the added preferences are great, and everything just feels a lot more refined. SO MANY of the "gripes" and "deal breakers" mentioned on this list have been nailed by Allan, and the app feels much better for it. Applause. Justin

[TextMate] Shell scripts progress dialog?

[TextMate] Mirror typing bug

by Chris Jenkins

Allan, I've found a bug with mirror typing in that I seem to be able to get stuck in mirror typing mode. It seems related to how many tab completions there are, if I tab all the way through them and then press tab one more time then mirror typing is cancelled, but if I ignore one of them then the file in question gets stuck with mirror typing on and some very odd things happen (like multiple copies of whatever text Im typing appearing on the same line). Once in this weird mode the line upon which the mirror typing was initially active seems to remain in this mode, other lines in the same file are fine, hitting tab again seems to kill it off. I reckon there are a couple of possible solutions to this seeing as how it is difficult to tell when the user wants to abandon mirror mode and return to normal, you could use a key press to cancel the mode, like escape for example, and you could supplement that with some form of user feedback about which mode you are in, an icon in the status bar or something would be useful, or I guess you could just improve your rules for automatically figuring out which mode the user is in. Anyway, just thought you should know, keep up the good work, the betas are looking great!

[TextMate] Interface changes and Folding

by Hans Petter Eikemo

First: I´m delighted and impressed with the frequency of beta-releases, A joy checking for updates every night :) On Beta6 it was really nice to see the interface improvements. Border on the gutter, and a elegant wrap-line really, makes a difference.. So much so, that I instantly made replacements for the folding widgets. Based on my previously released mock-up; The arrow-directions are more visible, and the ellipsis got a minor tweak to work better on dark backgrounds. It still looks a bit messy when a document has many foldings, so I included a set of light arrows which I propose to use on level 2 and below. Differencing background-color of the folding column from the rest of the gutter, would also be nice.. I believe :) My files are available on the following address: http://homepage.mac.com/hpeikemo/AlternateFolding_1710.zip hp.

[TextMate] Call for bundles

by Allan Odgaard

I'll most likely be releasing 1.0.1 later today, and I'll try to ship it with all user submitted bundles. So if you've made changes or you have something you haven't published, please add it to the wiki [1]. When there are multiple bundles for the same language, be sure to add comments to why (or merge them ;) ) so that I can quickly get an overview of this stuff. I'm planning to include all syntax highlight files in the "SharedSupport" folder of TextMate, so these will be available out-of-the-box. And then I'm also adding an external "support" folder to the disk image, where bundles are located which contain more than just syntax highlight files, which the user can then double click to get that extra support (TextMate will merge the default bundle with syntaxes with the installed bundle that contain the added functionality). I'd hoped 1.0.1 would have had better bundle management from within TextMate, but this will take a little more time, and I think it's about time the 1.0.1 update was released -- this also means that some of the other things some of you may have been expecting for 1.0.1 didn't make it. Don't worry, I do write down every suggestion I get, so there's no need to re-send your feedback, at least not if I replied to it. Kind regards Allan [1] http://wiki.macromates.com/

[TextMate] Beta 5 with anchors (drag commands)

by Allan Odgaard

I just did a beta 5 build, this has preliminary support for the discussed drag commands (although the GUI editor didn't make it to beta 5). I'm thinking about calling them "Anchors", any objections? I unfortunately broke reformatting in beta 4 (and didn't make a fix in beta 5), the problem is that paragraph selection in soft wrap was changed, so it won't find the paragraph automatically (if soft wrap is enabled). Either select it manually or disable soft wrap (cmd-option-w) temporarily. Slightly related is also that when at the begin/end of a paragraph, selecting the paragraph selects too much.
