It seems that folding isn't working in CSS documents. I'm using 1.01b1, but didn't try folding in 1.0 so I don't know if this new or not. There are down arrows next to each selector, but never any up arrows...

by Sune Foldager

There is a beta version of the upcoming 1.0.1 release with several bug fixes and small feature inclusions. Normaly, TextMate doesn't check for beta versions with the automatic version check system, but if you wish to have it do so you can type the following in your favorite shell: defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakCheckForBetaVersions 1 ..and 0 to disable beta check again of course. When starting TextMate the first time after download, a window with release notes will automatically open to show you the latest changes additions and bug fixes. Have fun :-). PS: If you for some reason can't get the beta version from within TextMate, the URL is: http://macromates.com/textmate/files/TextMate_1.0.1b1.dmg -- Sune.

[TextMate] Delay when switching to TextMate

[TextMate] Current date in file templates

These questions really belong on the ML, so I'm cc'ing the list :) You can add your own variables to the environment by changing the command in the Info.plist, for example here I setup TM_DATE to be YYYY-MM-DD: { name = "Date Test"; extension = "txt"; command = "[ -f $TM_NEW_FILE ] || TM_DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d` perl -pe 's/\\$\\{([^}]*)\\}/$ENV{$1}/g' <index.html >\"$TM_NEW_FILE\""; } So it's basically just 'var=value' before the perl command (you can set multiple variables). And the back-ticks (`) means that it's a command to execute, so TM_DATE is set to the result of running date +%Y-%m-%d. All this is of course related to bash and not really TextMate. Another neat one is the full user name which we can get with niutil, here's an example: command = "[ -f $TM_NEW_FILE ] || TM_DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d` TM_USERNAME=`niutil -readprop / /users/\\$USER realname` perl -pe 's/\\$\\{([^}]*)\\}/$ENV{$1}/g' <index.html >\"$TM_NEW_FILE\""; One important note: the commands above are prefixed with '[ -f $TM_NEW_FILE ] || '. This is to check if the file already exists, and if so, it won't do the "or" branch (i.e. overwrite it). I really should have added this to the default templates! I'll be adding it to all templates shipping with 1.0.1 -- if you create your own templates, please add it to avoid templates from overwriting files! The reason TextMate doesn't perform this check is, that the template could generate multiple files, or not generate TM_NEW_FILE at al. Also, remember that you're not limited to using perl as command. You can write your templates in e.g. PHP and use php as the command to generate them. Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Feature request: notification of keyboard shortcut duplication

by bongoman

Hi there I'd love to see Textmate notify me if I attempt to set a keybinding that the application is already using. At present, I can enter the same keybinding twice (or more) without any notification. BBEdit alerts you if you attempt to do this and it is quite helpful. I'm guessing that if you do enter a shortcut that has already been taken, TextMate fails to then display it in the corresponding menu? bongoman

[TextMate] Snippet, Command, Macro and Language Suggestions

by Justin French

Hi all, There were a couple of bugs in the Snippets, Commands, Macros and Languages bundled with 1.0 (What can I say, I was in a rush!). I'd like to use this thread to document any problems you've encountered or suggestions you have specifically in regards to the Bundles. Please, no feature requests, or anything related to the general TM application. Here's what I have so far: Snippets: - br and hr snippets are redundant (use "Make HTML Tag 2" command instead) - meta snippet didn't have any placeholders - PHP function snippet didn't have a placeholder for the function name - The three PHP tag openers are a little much... will make one redundant, and people can customise top suit their own preferences Languages: - swapped SCRIPT and STYLE patterns around the wrong way in HTML.plist Macros: - nothing yet Commands: - rename "Reload in Safari" to "Refresh Safari", since that's all it does - add a php.net manual look-up command for the current word I'd appreciate any suggestions for more snippets, macros and commands to add to the default set. Please keep them all in this thread, so it's easy for me to keep track of what's going on. Anything that can help people speed up their productivity or solve repetitive or boring tasks is a great candidate. Justin French

[TextMate] On folding.

by Hans Petter Eikemo

It´s great to finally have folding in a native osx application. Although the current implementation has a few usability issues: First, the folding column needs to be rightmost in the gutter, next to the text. Currently, when line numbering is active, matching folding widget with line is harder than it could be. Second, the present top and bottom widget icons are too similar, making it hard to read a structure overview off the document. It´s primary function is to show start or end of the block, thus arrow direction must be the most visible feature. In addition i suggest a highlighting feature, allowing us to close a fold(?) by clicking anywhere on a line between between folding icons. A mouse over effect shows what parts will be affected. This will allow easier matching of open and closing arrows, as well as reducing mouse travel. View the attached mock-up for a clearer, visual description. (note in the image I am experimenting with a x-code style top-bar as well ;) hp.

[TextMate] Opening folders.

by Hans Petter Eikemo

I added an alias in my .tcshrc file to open files similar to the bbedit command line utility. (alias tm open -a TextMate) When trying it out, i figured i´d test opening folders using my new command. so typing "tm ." worked great! but unfortunately I was in my home folder: TextMate halted, loading some 20GB worth of files to my new project. And my point is is :) : There ought to be some handling of this situation (when dragging folders to the dock icon as well) either trough a warning, an option to add none-recursively, abort button in shelf etc.

[TextMate] TM BundleEditor

[TextMate] Page for contributed stuff?

by Merlin Mann

Hey, This might have come up already, but I think it would helpful to have a single page that collects (or at least points to) all the available add-ons folks have put together for TextMate, such as bundles, syntaxes, snippets, and so on. A two-line summary of what it does (with screenshots where possible) would also be great. I agree that the power of TextMate comes from unlocking its _insane_ amount of configurability. But, I also suspect that some of the nay-sayers--especially those less experienced with the power of a shell--would be much more inspired if they saw what they could *do* with TM (without having to build the actual widgets themselves). For inspiration, I think Alcor has done a nice job with [Quicksilver's plug-in page][1], which folks can sort by alpha, popularity, or update freshness. Best of all, users can click to install any of the plug-ins right from that page. Takes a lot of the mystery out of the process. Just one data point. If ya'all need help with bandwidth or what have you, please let me know how I can pitch in. I am, as the kids say, a fan.

[TextMate] Custom Selection/Caret with Syntax Coloring

[TextMate] folding bug? (or: help me make this work!)

by Brian Lalor

I'm trying to work out a couple of bugs in my XML syntax. I may have uncovered a bug in the folding code, or I may just be suffering from regexp brainfade... What I was originally trying to accomplish was two types of folding. I wanted the following to fold up: (begin) <foo> <bar /> (end) </foo> ... and I also wanted this to fold: (begin) <foo key="value" (end) key1="value" /> The latter would ideally fold to <foo key="value"(...) Am I correct in believing that this second form can't be accomplished with the simple folding marker regexps available now? The help doc says that it expects the end folding marker to be on the same indent level as the start folding marker, and the second form definitely is not. Now, for the part that may be a bug: I haven't found a regexp that will make TM *ignore* the abbreviated (but multi-line) XML element above (the 2nd one). Perhaps this is all well and good, except that TM seems to rather arbitrarily match the would-be end tag for the shortened element. I'll annotate the screenshot below: Line 62 starts one of those singleton elements. Note that there is no closing tag, but at line 67, another element begins as the same indent level. In the current state, if I use the folding start button in the gutter at line 62, TM folds the document to line 72 (the end of the first </target> text). If I fold the "clean" target (lines 67 to 71) and then fold the <target> at line 62, TM folds all the way to line 92. It seems to me that TM should stop searching for a match if a new start fold marker is discovered at the same indent level. Is that correct, or are my regexps just more sloppy than I thought they were? :-) -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

[TextMate] [Tip] Embed selection in tag, lookup PHP functions

by Allan Odgaard

James A. Baker asked me for a BBEdit feature where the selection is wrapped in a tag, which you pick from a list of tags. But then his stream of thoughts derived the following TextMate solution, which I think was very neat: Create this snippet, name it _wtag: <${2:tt}>$1</${2:tt}>$0 Then select Start Macro Recording and type: cmd-x, _wtag, tab, cmd-v, tab, stop recording, save it for later. Now you have a macro which wraps the current selection inside a tag pair (the default tag name is tt, but you can change it). Press tab again after having typed the name to leave the snippet. Another neat trick I saw on a blog (but unfortunately lost the reference) was a command configured to do: open http://php.net/$TM_CURRENT_WORD So simple, and yet so powerful (it looks up the word under the caret in the PHP reference documentation). It's really fantastic to see this end-user innovation, keep it up! :) Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Praise and Comments

by Rich Barton

Just thought I'd chime in with my experiences of using TM over the last couple of days. Firstly, may I heap lavish praise on the developer(s). The live-updating project drawer (despite its shortcomings, below) is fantastic, and the Esc autocomplete is nothing short of magic. How does it *always* seem to guess the right completion for a given start string out of many possibilities? Regardless, this has made coding a lot less laborious. The snippet and macro features are also great time savers. But enough of the praise, here's my comments and suggestions :-) * I rarely want to view the ASCII version of an image file. How about a preview of the image in the editor pane instead? * Whilst speed is generally not an issue, there is an annoying 2-4 second delay (i.e. spinning beach-ball) when switching to TM when I've got an (open) project located on an SMB share. * By default, TM requires a lot of keyboard mashing for relatively common commands. For instance, I see no reason why the Command + Option + Control + D for toggling the project drawer can't simply be Command + D (in fact, I've hacked this myself in IB and it works fine) * How about a split view (i.e. the ability to see different sections of the same document at once)? * TM doesn't seem to remember the window scroll position if you do the following: open a document (that scrolls), and scroll down without changing the insertion point. Switch to another document/tab. Switch back. The window scroll position is back to its original position, and is no longer at the section of text I was looking at. * When searching within a document for a string located "below the fold", the matching string barely creeps "above the fold", i.e. is bottom aligned relative to the window. This makes it harder to see the match in context. I prefer the behaviour (which I believe BBEdit exhibits) whereby the matching string is centred vertically in the window, making it easier to spot and put in context. * How about being able to create a "real" folder (as opposed to a group) in the project draw? * I would like the group name to be selected and editable immediately after its creation, à la "New Folder" in the Finder * The Shift Left/Shift Right commands exhibit weird behaviour. I expect them to work like Command + [ and Command + ] in BBEdit or SubEthaEdit, but they don't. (Sorry for the vagueness. It's easier for you to see it yourself than for me to describe how.) Overall, I like the direction TextMate is going in. Regards, Rich Barton

[TextMate] Latex, python and TAB behaviour

by profprof＠mac.com

I have just downloaded textmate and I looks like a very promising editor. I hope to be able to use it soon! I would very much like to see an environment for both latex and python. Those two environments are those I am in most of the time. I am sure that I not alone. Also, to me the tab behaviour of Emacs (where you can press tab anywhere on a line to align the content of the line) is a big plus when programming. It helps structure back the code rapidly. This feature would be part of a more global automatic formatting for programs but at least it is almost essential. This being said, you are doing an excellent work! Congratulations and I look forward to your next version which might include these features.

[TextMate] Love for Textmate, and some thoughts/observations

by Raena Armitage

Hey, Thanks for a really neat product. I'm still messing about with it, but I think it's a keeper. I've noticed some things, though -- Odd help behaviour: the tooltip that appears when you hover over the Commands textarea says that you can use the purple help icon to get a full list of TextMate's exported variables, but that just goes to the Commands reference page instead. There's a small link to the list of variables, sure, but maybe the list of variables belongs on that page too? (or it should link there as advertised, instead?) Also, why does selecting Help *from the Help menu,* while the commands window is open, mean that it goes to that page? I understand that context is cool, but I expect to find that choosing '(AppName) Help' from the Help menu would take me to the app's help index page. Second: the whole dealie about the preferences window has been discussed, it seems, but it's also something I miss. While there's nothing that really *has* to be in a preference window, it seems logical to me that per-document options ought to be kept well away from the permanent ones. Third, I'm not sure if it's my own font problems or not, but I've never noticed it any other place -- when I'm using any bitmap font the first character in a line has a larger gap between it and the next character. You can see this in action here: <http://www.raena.net/images/gappy.gif> Fourth, why is Page Up and Down moving the insertion point? Can one change that at all? And finally, I'm not really concerned with (s)ftp support myself since I prefer to use Transmit, but does anyone know how i can tell Transmit to make TextMate available in its list of external editors? Can that be done at all?

[TextMate] Working with multiple screens

I usually work with an additional monitor plugged into my Powerbook at home, but not at work. If I accidentally leave anything open on the external monitor before disconnecting everything, on restoring the affected application the window is pulled onto screen. That is to say, if at any time the desktop area is reduced, windows readjust their position so not to be lost. TextMate doesn't seem to be doing this.

I love everything about OSX except the lack of a solid (and reasonably priced) text editor. Thanks to ditto, I think I found one. So far I'm pleased with TextMate, though I haven't been able to use it much. The single biggest problem I've found so far is that it seems to load files entirely into memory. Try loading a 100MB enterprise server log in TextMate and you'll see it die while consuming megabyte after megabyte of memory. UltraEdit by contrast only loads what it needs into memory, making it very very fast while viewing and manipulating large files. UltraEdit handles GB-size files without breaking a sweat. I think the only complication around that is line numbering becomes slightly more involved. The second feature I'm looking for is a hex view/edit/search&replace. Being able to locate and fix an invalid UTF-8 character sequence inside an XML file that is causing my application to bomb has proven to be a critical feature. Hex search&replace comes in handy when I need to remove all 0x00 characters from a file, for example. Finally -- and this should be the easy one -- please add a "count" button to the search window. Often I want to count the occurrences of a certain error message in a log, or see how many things I'm about to change by search&replace. That's it (for now ;) Keep up the good work! Thanks, Kevin Hunt

[TextMate] defining syntaxes

by Brian Lalor

Couple of questions regarding syntaxes: I'm working on modifying the HTML syntax to support JSP. I've created the following definition for comments; JSP and HTML comments are similar. JSP comments look like <%-- comment --%>. I can use a simple regexp to search for  ... or maybe ... <%-- --> --%> I've currently got the (not quite smart enough) pattern: { name = "Comments"; begin = "<[%!]--"; end = "--%?>"; foregroundColor = "red"; }, How is the "include" keyword supposed to work in a pattern? I've tried this: name = "Embedded Java"; backgroundColor = "#E5E5E5"; begin = "<%"; include = "Java"; end = "%>"; ... but that only highlights the background of the excursion, not the text within. I've created a Java bundle with "Java" defined in Syntaxes/Java.plist. -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

[TextMate] Feature request: undo/redo

by Nick Hristov

I do not know if this has been mentioned before, but the undo/redo functionality needs improvements. What bothers me is that the undo functionality will "undo" stuff character-by-character, and not by block. I want block undos. Ideally, I would like to have more of a VIM-like undo functionality. You may wonder what would be defined as a "block undo"? One definition would be: any time when I type in text (or remote text with the backspace/delete) would be one block. When I move the mouse, or use the arrow keys, or use PGUP,PGDOWN, etc. the undo block would end. Nick

[TextMate] [Feature Request] Interarchy edit file over sftp

by Simon Dorfman

Interarchy supports ediiting files over sftp. It would make me überhappy is TestMate would support this feature. I asked the Interarchy developer what details you would need to know to make this work. He replied with the links to the info below. I know you intend to support editing files over sftp with TextMate in version 1.1, but I like Interarchy and adding compatability to work with Interarchy looks pretty simple. So pretty please with sugar on top, add this feature. :-D Thanks, Simon ------ Forwarded Message From: Peter N Lewis <peter(a)stairways.com.au> Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 10:06:08 +0800 To: Simon Dorfman <Simon(a)SimonDorfman.com> Subject: Re: Edit with...

The details are at: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html and Bare Bones' original specification is at: http://www.barebones.com/support/developer/odbsuite.html If they drop me a line when it is implemented we'll be happy to add TexMate to our list of possible editors.

[TextMate] Why is all the background colours dark ????

by Mats Persson

Hi all, I just downloaded the PHP & Smarty syntax bundle, and found that it too was based on a dark background. Can someone please explain this seeming 'obsession' with dark backgrounds when 99% of all other apps are the basic white background with black/coloured text ??? What is it that I don't get about it ??? (I personally find it very hard to read text that way.) Kind regards, Mats

[TextMate] feature request: better support for .textClipping files

by Jeff Ganyard

I hate .textClipping files, they are some kind of bastard implementation of a file. They really aren't terribly useable but they are easy to create and so show up far too often. I've never looked into the format but I don't understand why Apple didn't just make them txt or rtf files. Instead they created a specially functioning file that is not well supported. .textClipping files are supported as expected if you drag from the Finder to an open document in TextMate, i.e. the contents are inserted at the insertion point. Dropping a .textClipping file on TextMate's app icon opens a new empty window with the textClipping's name. Desired behavior would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the textClipping editable! Selecting a textClipping in the project drawer displays an empty window with the title set to the textClipping file's title. Desired behavior would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the textClipping editable. Dragging a textClipping file from a project window to the currently displayed document results in no change to the current document. Desired behavior is to insert the contents of the textClipping file at the insertion point, i.e. the same behavior as dragging from the Finder. thanks for listening!

[TextMate] javascript bundle

by Caio Chassot

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone's been working on js syntax highlighting. I derived one from the ruby file, but it's still a tad bit buggy. Perhaps we could join efforts? I'll post the bundle as soon as I get back to the mac.

RE: [TextMate] Q: Running a periodic shell script automatically

>Given that TextMate is pretty good at piping output from shell >commands, would it not be possible to automagically generate a running >"TODO" list in a file using a command similar to this...? > `grep -r FIXME /Users/USERNAME/Sites/FooProject/` Merlin: You could pipe it to an external file. In the Filter Through Command window, choose "Document" and set it to "Show as tooltip" so it's non destructive to your current file, and run: grep -r FIXME >~/project/TODO; open -a /Applications/TextMate.app ~/project/TODO It will auto-generate and pop open for ya.

[TextMate] Q: Running a periodic shell script automatically

by Merlin Mann

I can't decide if this is a TextMate question or a GREP question, but here goes. Like a lot of people, I frequently use HTML comments like this to remind myself where known problems exist: > `` Given that TextMate is pretty good at piping output from shell commands, would it not be possible to automagically generate a running "TODO" list in a file using a command similar to this...? > `grep -r FIXME /Users/USERNAME/Sites/FooProject/` Is that sensible? And how might I set that up in a doc to refresh itself? Better as a separate shell script I'd call up somehow? Maybe better off as manual macro I run when I want updates? TIA. (Man, I'm just *loving* the possibilities of this app) mm -- Merlin Mann 43Folders.com

[TextMate] Folding Triangle Icon Suggestion

by Simon Dorfman

Hello, I'm just trying out TextMate and I very much like the feature for collapsing brackets. (I remember seeing a post on some mac blog about using OmniOutliner to write code just so a similar feature could be achieved. Anyway...) However, I have a suggestion. I have trouble distinguishing between the little triangle icons used on the left side. I was thinking adding color to them would make it much easier to see which is the top and bottom and which is collapsed. So I looked in the resources of the app and found the graphics files and tried changing them. The colors I chose are perhaps a bit much, but perhaps this post will inspire someone else (or the developers) to come up with a better color scheme. I went with a red-yellow-green stop-light color metaphor. Green is the top of an open triangle. Red is the bottom of an open triangle. And Yellow is a collapsed triangle. If that makes any sense... Basically, I changed these files: Folding Bottom Cap.png -> tint Red Folding Collapsed.png -> tint Yellow Folding Ellipsis.png -> tint Yellow Folding Top Cap.png -> tint Green I've attached a zip containing my newly tinted PNGs. I'm not sure if this mailing list will let attachments go through, but if it does, enjoy. Otherwise, I guess you'll have to tint 'em yourself. Simon in New Orleans
