Hi, what is the best form, to change/adapt the highlighting of ons own often-used functions? E.g. if I have a Perl sub called `i` (printing some debug-info to stdout) and to be used e.g. i 'Starting ifgrp store ...'; And if would like to have these lines formatted like a comment (grey, italics) so that it survives changes in the Perl-Bundle including reinstallations of TM2. Where and how would someone define that? My guess is, to place it in my own Bundle and to use something like begin = '^\s*'; end = ';\s*$'; # trailing white space may occure But I can't figure out the details. Thanks and kind regards, Ingo -- Ingo Lantschner

Git Bundle commit command no longer working

by Charles Stuart

Hi, The “Commit” command in the git bundle no longer works for me. If I run “Show Uncommitted Changes”, the git bundle properly displays the diff. However, if I run the “Commit” command, it instead displays: "Working directory is clean (nothing to commit)”. So the repro steps are: 1. Make a change to a file 2. Run `git diff` or “Show Uncommitted Changes” to verify that a change has been made 3. Run the “Commit” command Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Thanks, Charles

I'm not using Matlab, just gnuplot, xfig and other simple graphing tools, but with the exception of gnuplot, they all feature pdf+latex output (meaning that the software creates a .tex file which you need to include and a pdf file, this way you can use latex commands in labels and such).

Help request regarding TM and Python.

by Gabriele Battaglia

Hi all and a very great / happy new year to all of you. My name is Gabriel and I’m a very beginner both as a programmer and with TextMate. TM is one of the few editor I have found which is accessible to the VoiceOver technologies I have to use as I’m totally blind. My problem has to do with using TM to write and test Python scripts. I have this simple one: # begin a =input(“name? ") print a # end I press Bundle… python… run script and getting this error message: *** Running “untitled”… Python 2.7.6 Theme: nome EOFError: 'EOF when reading a line' module body in untitled at line 1 a =input("nome") copy output Program exited with code #1 after 0.41 seconds. *** That’s sounds strange as the script has no mistakes. Could you please help me to found how to solve this issue? Thanks. Gabriel.

Autoreoad modified file not working over an AFP share

by paul chapman

All my source code is on a centos virtual machine, which I access over an AFP share. When I have a file open in TM2, TM is not able to detect that its been changed. This happens often when I switch git branch. If I open a terminal and run 'ls' on the file, at this point suddenly TM realises its changed and reloads it. Can anyone offer an explanation for this? I figured maybe its some form of fstat cache kicking in, either in OSX or due to the way the AFP share has been configured, but I cannot find any other apps behave the same way (ie, Sublime Text detects it has changed immediately)

New Year with new TextMate

by Matt Neuburg

Pardon me for being a bit sentimental, but as a recent TextMate 2 adopter, I find that, quite aside from the technical improvements and the ability to run happily on Mavericks, I'm loving the new interface. When working on a small screen especially, I really appreciate the ability to maintain an all-in-one layout. With multiple documents opening as tabs, and the results window as a right pane, I'm so much more agile than in the past. This is a marvelous transformation.

Change in behaviour of new-line with braces - CSS, PHP, JS, maybe all grammars?

by Dominic Morgan

In one of the recent updates (I think), the default behaviour when hitting return inside a new set of braces seems to have changed. Previously opening a pair of braces and hitting return would result in the following: { // caret here } Now I get: { // caret here} This is affecting all the grammars I commonly use - PHP, CSS, JS but presumably is global. Did I inadvertently change a setting somewhere or is this a change of the default TextMate behaviour that I missed? Either way, is there a way to return to the old behaviour? I have done a few searches and seen some mentions in certain languages that you may be able to build a snippet to fire on enter if the syntax supports specific enough scoping but I'm failing to get it to work for me.

I'm very well-versed in LaTeX, and I started with the non-pdf latex many moons ago. If it were up to me, I'd use xelatex because of its superior handling of fonts, but the arxiv doesn't support it and most collaborators don't know about it or care to use it. (The arxiv still on TeX Live 2011, too.) pdflatex is the de-facto standard for good reason. > With latex, you can typeset eps figures directly without converting it to pdf figures and the resulting pdf file has a much sharper resolution than those produced by pdflatex applied to pdf figures, especially when you use the beamer for presentation. Actually, eps is a format of the past, most programs (e. g. xfig) can output either directly to pdf or a pdf/LaTeX combo. Even if you get eps output (e. g. from gnuplot's using the eps+latex output), loading a single package (epstopdf) takes care of the on-the-fly conversion (which does *not* reduce the resolution, I think it just encapsulates the eps file into a pdf wrapper). This reduction in quality only happens if someone manually converts the eps file to pdf with the wrong tool in the wrong way. During typesetting, you lose pdfsync which is a very handy feature (clicking in a location in the pdf file sends you to the corresponding line in your latex code). Moreover, pdf files which are generated from the intermediate dvi files often have lower quality (e. g. font rendering is worse, text no longer is searchable and hyperlinks may stop working). I've only dealt with one journal that used latex instead of pdflatex (and another one which strangely enough doesn't seem to use latex at all on its backend). If latex works for you, fine, but I don't understand why you force others to cling to the old. (I would not force my students to use TeX in any particular way.) Especially when it seems to be due to just not knowing about well-known solutions to old problems. Max

All you need to do is load the package epstopdf and use pdflatex. I seriously caution against using anything but pdflatex these days, most journals have moved to pdflatex (for very good reason), so that's what you should use as well to minimize friction. Also, if you use the proper tools to convert the eps file to pdf, then the resolution is the same as both are capable of including vector graphics. However, if you convert an eps file the wrong way, the output will be a bitmapped file encapsulated in a pdf file. Max

TextMate typesetting problems

Hi: I use MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.1. I have encountered a typesetting problem with the latest TextMate version 2.0.alpha. I set Bundles → Latex → Preferences as follows: Default Engine: latex View in: Preview Checked on “Show pdf automatically” Checked on “Keep log window open” The message I got is error number 256 opening viewer When I set “Default Engine: pdflatex”, TextMate works, but it gives me the above error message when I set “Default Engine: latex.” I have deleted the files you as suggested by the following link https://github.com/textmate/textmate/wiki/Reverting-To-Defaults but it still gives me the same error message. Note that it can generate a valid .ps file, but fails to generate a .pdf file. Any help would be much appreciated.

git bundle and trouble with clean reinstall

by Eric Hsu

Well, I have two issues I am hoping for help on. (1) The built-in git bundle has partly stopped working on 10.9 Mavericks (on the nightly build). The bug is that the log command creates a window which shows the log messages, but the + which expands into a line by line diff no longer expands. I think that began exactly when I installed Mavericks, so I imagined that this was a simple config issue with the ruby scripts in the bundle. So I downloaded the latest git bundle from https://github.com/jcf/git-tmbundle which of course didn’t work on my computer, so… anyway to get to the point, of course…. (2) I screwed up my config somehow and I can’t get back to the default git bundle. I am trying to do a clean reinstall of TM2 and I’m failing. I deleted ~/Library/Application\ Support/Avian ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate ~/Library/Preferences/com.macromates.* and I rebooted and I emptied the trash. I copied a fresh nightly 2.0 into /Applications. My bundles are still screwed up and the Git bundle won’t work. Is there some location I am forgetting to delete? best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Professor of Mathematics Director, Center for Science and Mathematics Education San Francisco State University http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: Text mate cutting text when reloading file.

by Jesús Baquedano

Yes, maybe there is a problem with samba and Maverick since I changed to Maverick almost at the same time I change to TextMate v2. I try opening with another editor and I get a non updated version of the file. Then I try to open with TextMate and I get the message "TODO Reselect previously open document". I cannot open the file with TxtMt until I close my session on the OS and I log on the OS again. However, after a while, I can correctly open the file with other editors. Is there a way to do a "clean reopening" of the file without having to restart my user session in the Mac OS?

[TM2] Find in Folder / CMD+T Missing Files

by Matt Reiferson

Occasionally I will get TM2 into a state where "find in folder” and "CMD+T" will be missing files in their search scope. Unfortunately, I don’t yet have a series of reproducible steps that cause this condition. However, for CMD+T at least, I’ve found that repeatedly hitting CMD+T will “recover” the ability to locate all files in the folder that’s open. Some other points of interest… From reading the docs it seems like this could be related to http://manual.textmate.org/projects.html#effective-folder and it’s interaction with the fact that I have “single click to open file” enabled. Have any other users experienced this? What sort of debugging information would be useful? Thanks

Autocompletion (e. g. of labels or of references) has become so slow for me that I now insert labels and references by hand again. And autocompletion was one of the killer TextMate features for me. That's not a good sign, and I hope that optimizing the new autocompletion implementation will get priority. Because if people tend to rely on the feature less, it doesn't matter that in principle, the reimplementation of autocompletion is more powerful than the TextMate 1 incarnation.

Inserting lines with the RETURN key.

When editing a C file, when I type `{` Textmate will add a matching `}`. If I then press RETURN I get two new lines where the `}` is on the second and the cursor is correctly indented on the line in between. I have been working on a Scala bundle, and when I do the same in Scala, I only get one inserted line with the cursor sitting just before the `}`. Is there some setting that I am missing to get this behavior?

TM2 is slower compared to TM1 in some areas

by Jacob Carlborg

I have two examples where TM2 is slower compared to TM1. 1. I think this has been mentioned before but TM2 takes significant longer time to syntax highlight large files compared to TM1. An example is this file from the D standard library: https://raw.github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/master/std/datetime.d It might be a bit extreme, it's around 34 000 lines of code. If I open that file and then jump to the end of the file. It takes TM1 around 5 seconds until the code has syntax highlighting. In TM2 it takes around 15 seconds. 2. TM2 is also slower on auto completion for some files. Here is one example: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt-mac/blob/master/dwt/widgets/Display… If I put the cursor at line 2111 at, type "o" and press escape to do auto completion. In TM1 I immediately get a result. In TM2 I get a result after around 3 seconds. Is there anything that can be done to increase the performance in these two areas? -- /Jacob Carlborg

how to disable bundle

Just getting my feet wet with TextMate 2 and already I've got a question. What's the purpose of the checkboxes next to the names of bundles if they don't actually disable the bundle? For example, I still see Apache and AppleScript in the Bundles and Gear menus even though I have unchecked Apache and AppleScript in the preferences. Similarly, I've tried unchecking in the Bundle editor and that doesn't help either. Is there a correct way to eliminate unused bundles?

how to get TextMate environment variables from rakefile?

by matt＠tidbits.com

I am running a rakefile directly from Ruby, in order to run some tests. The tests work fine when run individually from inside TextMate 2, but some of them break when run thru the rakefile directly from Ruby. The reason is that those tests use the TM_SUPPORT_PATH environment variable. That variable doesn't exist when we are running the rakefile directly from Ruby. Is there a way my rakefile script can ask TextMate for the value of its TM_SUPPORT_PATH even though it is not running inside TextMate? I can solve the problem by just hard-coding the answer into my rakefile, but that is not a portable solution. (Indeed, the issue arose in the first place because I *was* hard-coding the answer into my rakefile, using TextMate 1; but in TextMate 2, the value of TM_SUPPORT_PATH has changed. That's why I'd like a way to ask TextMate directly "what's your TM_SUPPORT_PATH?")

I've changed some regexes and added some snippets and keyboard shortcuts to the original AsciiDoc bundle, and I've added a couple of commands (I like to render into my browser, plus it makes a difference whether we're rendering a chapter or a book as a whole). But in general I would have to say that I have been far, far, *far* more nimble and productive with these tools than I would have been in any other way. Indeed, this experience has made me a firm believer in pure text and light markup; I never want to go back to a WYSIWYG editor, not even Frame. I do not understand the part of your question that draws a distinction between TextMate 1 and TextMate 2. The bundle was written for TextMate 1, obviously, but TextMate 2 doesn't break it or anything. I don't see how the bundle would be made to differ significantly for TextMate 2, or what difference TextMate 2 would have to its features. Yes, this bundle is crusty and not terribly well written, but the point is to use TextMate as a nimble writing tool for producing DocBook output, and this bundle lets me do that just fine, as my experience proves beyond the slightest doubt. Feel free to contact me directly via email if you want to talk about my modifications to the bundle, but I assure you they are very minor. I am not a sophisticated bundle writer, and I have no time to play with the bundle if I don't have to; I'm too busy using it to get real work done. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Programming iOS 7! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920031017.do iOS 7 Fundamentals! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032465.do RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com

TextMate freezes when lines are super long

by Yi Lin

For my work I often diff dumps of databases, and sometimes those files have super long lines without newline character; for example, an insert statement for millions of record all on a single line. When I open such a file, TextMate generally freezes. It would be nice if TM can handle working with such file efficiently, or at least warn me before trying to open such a file.

Bundle snippets scope selector -- excluding scope?

by Harald Lapp

hi, i wonder if it's possible to "exclude" scopes using the "scope selector" setting for a snippet. for example: the PHP bundle defines a tab-trigger for "array" that expands to $... = array ... thats fine as long as i am really in the scope "source.php". but when i am writing documentation (phpdoc -- which is in fact "source.php", too) it's really annoying when the 'array' keyword and such get's expanded. i wonder what's the best solution to solve this ... would i have to define a scope "phpdoc" and overwrite the tab-triggers in there or is there any other solution? thanks in advance, harald

In a .R file, I have a bunch of headers like this: # this is a header ----------------------------------------------------------- How can I get these headers to show in symbol list and fold? I¹ve tried changing the foldingStartMarker/foldingStopMarker line without success, and I cannot find the showInSymbolList line in the R language grammar. Thanks Ross

by Ross Ahmed

Hi all I recently posted asking how to align code at <- . For example, I would want these two lines of code foo <- test fooFooFoo <- test To look like foo <- test fooFooFoo <- test Somebody suggestted installing the align bundle and using the keyboard shortcut CMD + CONTROL + 9. I've trice this but unfortunately it doesn't run and throws a message box saying 'Failure running Align Source'. Can anyone come up with a hacky way of aligning code at <- ? Ross

suggestion

by Yvon Thoraval

suppose i want to report a variable state in NodeJS and/or JavaScript, for example: console.log("myvar['"+property+"'] = "+myvar[property]); because I'm a lazy guy, i want only to enter "myvar[property]", apart from console.log. at start, i would enter : console.log(myvar[property]); then copy/paste "myvar[property]" : console.log(myvar[property]myvar[property]); adding " = +": console.log(myvar[property] = myvar[property]); then surrounding "myvar[property] = " by '"': console.log("myvar[property] = "+myvar[property]); i want to see the property value in the "left" hand side, then i sourround "property" by '"': console.log("myvar["property"] = "+myvar[property]); here is my suggestion, could it be possible by selecting "property" to add two "+" signs on each side of "property" in order to make it : console.log("myvar["+property+"] = "+myvar[property]); could that last step be implemanted in TextMate ? -- Yvon(a)48.871651804,2.384858688

"Find in open files" not available + Associate file type

by Rasmus Malver

Hi all, When trying to search a folder of .nib-files, I ran into a few problems. The files are nicely displayed in TextMate, but I cannot search the contents of the files. Whilst trying to work around it, I ran into two problems: 1. *Find > In > Open Files not available* I opened the lot to use Find > In > Open Files, but this option is unavailable. Screenshot below. I tried opening .txt-files, and I tried creating new files, but it remains unavailable. Is this function available to anybody? 2. *Add file-type to TextMate* To facilitate the opening of said files in Finder's context menu (open with), and to encourage TextMate to search their contents, I tried to associate them with TextMate. I failed. First I tried to add them via TextMate.app\Contents\Info.plist. This invalidated TextMate's code signing, and thus broke its connection with /Keychain Access/. Nor did it have the desired effect. Thus I reverted my actions, and tried to associate the file type via the bundle editor. I added "nib" to the Property List bundle, old style language grammar file types, reset the launch services database regarding TextMate and killed Finder. /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -f /Applications/TextMate.app/;killall Finder; No luck. TextMate still does not appear in "open with", and TextMate still refuses to search their contents. Does anyone have a tip on how to achieve this? By the way, to search the .nib-files, I renamed them to .txt, and chose Find in Folder. That worked. But it's a long way round. Thanks, Rasmus Malver TextMate Find in Open Files not available

adding a file icon

by Yvon Thoraval

Recently, I've added the Dart.tmbundle to TextMate 2. It works OK however I'd like adding a "Dart_file.icns" in order to get the right icon. I've added some lines in the Info.plist of TextMate 2, the Icon file into the Resources directory but nothing change. Then, what is the correct way to add a file icon into TextMate 2 ? Also, using applescript, i've found the identifier for *.dart files, it is part of archive file one terminating by -dart, strange... Before any trick the file icon was of a dmg one... -- Yvon(a)48.871651804,2.384858688

Language definition problem

by Gerd Knops

Hi, I am experimenting with embedding properties in Objective-C implementations that will be parsed out and placed into a header file, and that also include documentation. They are supposed to look like this: /*@property BOOL testProperty; Sample Property # Discussion This is documentation in Markdown syntax */ My custom Objective-C language definition includes this pattern: { name = 'meta.property.objc.embedded'; begin = '^(/\*)(?=\@property)'; end = '\*/'; beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'meta.comment.embedded-property.start'; }; }; endCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'meta.comment.embedded-property.end'; }; }; contentName = 'meta.scope.property.objc.embedded'; patterns = ( { name = 'meta.scope.property.def.objc.embedded'; begin = '(?=\@property)'; end = ';\s*\n?'; patterns = ( { include = 'source.objc#interface_innards'; } ); }, { name = 'meta.scope.property.doc.objc.embedded'; begin = '^'; end = '$\n'; // patterns = ( { include = 'text.html.markdown'; } ); }, ); }, That works fine, the /* and */ have the proper start/end scope, the documentation part has the doc scope etc. But as soon as I enabled the uncommented line that is supposed to highlight the embedded documentation with markdown, markdown gobbles up the end markers. Shouldn't the outer pattern prevent this? And if not, how can I make this work? Thanks Gerd

Annoying bug, restoring window from zoom after relaunching TM2

by Adam Strzelecki

There’s pretty annoying bug in TM2 regarding remembering default window frame. (1) Launch TM2 (2) Open new document & maximize window via (+) (3) Quit TM2 (4) Open it again (5) Open new document, it should be zoomed/maximized (6) Restore it via (+) Poof… where did it go? It is here in lower left corner of the screen with 0 content height :~( Can we have make TM2 remember regular window frame (not zoomed) and if window was zoomed? Cheers, -- Adam

Re: Projects in TM2: simple include/exclude directories

Then in many cases, you don't need to create a per-»project« .tm_properties file. The .tm_properties files in nested directories apply in addition to defaults. For instance, you probably want to use different include/exclude rules in the directory where you're writing code for a numerical simulation than in the directory where you write the article in LaTeX with the associated findings. Allen made a conscious design decision to abandon project files and base the idea of projects just on filesystem hierarchy. In some ways, that makes TextMate 2 more powerful than TextMate 1.x, but other things (especially working with scattered files) has become more complicated because a folder is a »single project«. Personally, I haven't found a good way to recreate my TextMate 1.x workflow in TextMate 2 (symlinks don't mesh well with my LaTeX code and my git repositories). You probably have to adapt the way you organize your work. I have created a sensible master .tm_properties file and since I essentially only work with TeX-related files, shell scripts and markdown files, I don't really need to change them. Instead of symlinking, I just copy files and keep them in sync by hand if need be. Max

My home folder has many folders, many of which I'd like to have be in multi-folder projects. So ~/bin and ~/notes are a pair, while a second pair are ~/bank (receipts) and ~/config (a collection of configuration files used elsewhere) If I understand correctly, I'd have to have a .tm_properties file for each pair, not possible given the file hierarchy style of projects > Third, a work around would be to simply have a separate folder per > project, > > containing symbolic links (ln -s) to the folders I want in my project. > This is not a workaround, this is the expected way to handle projects. A-ha! OK, so I can make a TM folder that contains a folder for each of my TM projects, each of which in turn have symlinks to my actual folders?
