Hi list,
I'm currently in the process of rearranging and cleaning my thesis files. My chapter files are arranged in subdirectories, and I've decided to change the \include{path/file} occurrences in my main latex file to \includefrom{path/}{file}, so that I don't have to give the absolute path for every single included file or figure in "file.tex" (for example, changing the name of "path" would involve a tedious search and replace procedure in "file.tex"). This command is provided by the import package (along with the \import command, which is the \input counterpart).
For example, if I have a file "path/figure.pdf" that I want to include in "file.tex", I would normally have to do \includgraphics{path/figure.pdf}, even though "file.tex" is itself in the "path/" directory. That's not neat, and quite unpractical indeed. Including "file.tex" using \includefrom{path/}{file} instead allows to circumvent this issue, and allows to use \includgraphics{figure.pdf}, where figure.pdf is resolved in "path/". Anyway, this is an preliminary for those who wouldn't know what the import package is for.
So, my question is, would it be simple to make the LaTeX bundle cooperate with \includefrom and \import too just as it does with \include and \input? For example, I find it very frustrating not to be able to use "Open included item" command, but I didn't find any simple way to extend the functionality of the bundle in that direction.
Thanks,
enas
How do I add 'xltxtra' to the xelatexIndicators in LaTeX 2? The xltxtra package alone loads fontspec and xunicode in the right order. Thanks for any pointer.

Hello,
Application shall not bind ⌥letter or ⇧⌥letter shortcuts as those are used to type accented/special characters on various keyboard layouts.
TM follow this rule with one exception "Insert Scratch Snippet" that binds to ⇧⌥S which makes typing Ś (accented S) impossible in my case.
I believe this is a bug and this keyboard shortcut shall be corrected to i.e. ⇧⌃⌥S.

Dear List,
I have a strange bug to report. Using 10.6.3, Textmate and Skim
together (via the LaTeX bundle) seems to trigger a nasty bug in OS X.
As far as I can tell, it is triggered when skim reloads a changed PDF
file, but I haven't been able to completely reliably find out exactly
what triggers it. At first I thought it was to do with the pdfsync
functionality, but then I noticed it could be triggered simply if the
files changed. Whatever is causing it, once triggered any new process
on the machine will use up 100% of the CPU. The only way to get
things back to normal is to log out of the user account and back in
again.
I realise that this is a very sketchy bug report - I'm posting it here
in the hopes that someone else has run into it and has managed to work
out exactly what is causing it better than I have. I'm not even sure
if the fault lies with skim or with textmate or with the latex bundle.
Best wishes,
Nicholas
In GetBundles I see two for DocBook (one by Brian Hogan, the other by
weppos), is one better than the other?
Is TextMate the best editor to use for DocBook XML on the Mac, if I'm
new to DocBook?
Thanks.

Hi
I have recently started using textmate, and like it very much, with the exception of the search and replace, which I find rather awkward.
from vi and emacs I am familiar with being able to specify the search and replace strings from a command line like, for example in vi I would
%s/OLD/NEW/g
which replaces OLD with NEW throughout the entire file. OLD can also be a regex
In texmate you essentially always have to bring up the find/replace dialog if you want to use regex expression.
for simple find/replace you can use the cmd-E to put the current selection into the search field, but there is no easy way to put a replacement text into the replace field. If the replacement text happens to be some where in the file you can find and select it and shift-cmd-F into the replace field.
But this is all very long and awkward. Am I missing something or is the a easier way to use the find and replace in textmate, without having to bring up the dialog box all the time. seems a lot of key strokes with shift cmd, option, tabs, returns etc compared to my familiar
s/regex-find/replace/g
thanks
Steve
Dear guys
I have two questions. These looks piecs of cake... however, I cannot solve
it. :-(
1. Folding JsDoc-Toolkit comment
As you know, JsDoc-toolkit (and the similar auto-document-generation tools)
creates document with the comment as below:
/**
* Description of constructor.
* @class Description of class.
* @constructs
*/
Sometimes, the comments are too long to review the codes, I REALLY wanna
fold them. So I add rules to grammer like that:
foldingStartMarker = '(^.*{[^}]*$|^.*\([^\)]*$|^.*/\*(?!.*\*/).*$)';
foldingStopMarker = '(^\s*\}|^\s*\)|^(?!.*/\*).*\*/)';
Unfortunately, it's just working as below:
/**
* Description of constructor.
* @class Description of class.
* @constructs
*/
Colud you tell me how I can fold the original jsdoc comments with space?
2. Highlight Keywords.
The framework I use has a object, $Class, so I wanna highlight this object
as keyword.
However, it's impossible because of "$" even I add this keyword into the
grammer file. I use a escape character and Regular express format, it
doesnot working.
Please give the advice to highlight a string with "$".
Best regards.

Hi all-
Not that I couldn't figure out how to make this work, but is there any
current facility for substituting Biber for Bibtex in the LaTeX2

If not, any thinking on the right way to do this; or should I just
start hacking?

The keyboard shortcut, ⌃⌘T, for "Select Bundle Item..." doesn't
work. All of my modifier keys work fine in other instances, and if I
click on the menu item then it works fine, but when I enter in the
shortcut, nothing happens. I don't think this shortcut is bound to any
programs running in the background. Has anyone encountered this
problem or know how to fix it?
Hey all,
I seem to be having issues getting both the rails and ruby bundles to work
properly. Both of them show up in the bundles dropdown, but don't seem to be
working. For example when I use the forin snippet it ends up giving me a
shell command of for in statement. Likewise many of the snippets associated
with the .rb file just dont seem to exist and none of the ones for the
html.erb/rhtml ones do, similarly the syntax coloring in the html.erb is not
working properly either. I've tried reinstalling both bundles a couple
times, does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks for the help.
Hi everyone,
Is there a shortcut or bundle that allows us to move to the [n]th
occurrence of a char in the the current line?
This is similar to vim's:
"f{char}To [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the right. The cursor is
placed on {char} (inclusive).
F{char}To the [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the left. The cursor
is placed on {char} (inclusive).
t{char}Till before [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the right. The
cursor is placed on the character left of {char} (inclusive).
T{char}Till after [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the left. The
cursor is placed on the character right of {char} (inclusive)."
Thanks,
Jorge Luis

The topic of unit testing grammars has often been brought up and I
finally did a CLI tool for running a file through the TM parser.
The tool is here: http://updates.textmate.org/gtm.bz2
It reads the text to be parsed from stdin and takes as argument paths
to tmGrammar files which should be loaded. If the -g/--grammar option
is not given, the first grammar specified will be used to parse the
input.
Output is the parsed document in the pseudo-XML format that TextMate
commands can receive as input.
Presently the -t and -d options are not implemented.
Examples:
gtm < test.c C.tmbundle/Syntaxes/C.plist
gtm < test.cc -g source.c++ C.tmbundle/Syntaxes/{C,C++}.plist
I plan to also make this a profiling tool so that it can list how much
time is spent in each rule, but this is secondary to the current
agenda of providing the basis for grammar unit tests.
I am announcing this to get some input on how we can build a good unit
testing system. My concern is that we’ll either make really simple
tests that never break (it’s generally complex interplays of rules
that cause problems), or we’ll have fully parsed complex documents as
the “expected output” and can’t make changes to the grammars w/o
pretty much rewriting all the tests.
Hi,
I tried to compile a simple document with the latex2 bundle and get the following:
----------

Program exited with code #1 after 0.94 seconds.

I am not loading the graphics package (only the graphicx).
What does this mean? And how could I resolve it?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Guys,
A friend pointed me to the this list! Way excited. Any of you guys have
experience adding the run script for a new bundle? I'm helping a friend with
a new open source markup language called ZML.We added a bundle to TextMate
and added the syntax highlighter.
I really love the functionality, with apple command + R that allows me to
run a Perl Script or Shell Script, or what have you, and display the results
in HTML. This would be really helpful, in place of being forced to run each
document in terminal to view the output. My command is simply "zml
myzmlfile.txt" and I want to leverage the bundle editor to get this going.
Anyone have experience doing this? I obviously, do not.
Thanks in Advance!

I cannot find where in the TextMate documentation it explains how to go to
the end of a line or to the start of a line. It must be very simple, but I
don't know what the keyboard shortcuts are because I can't find any
reference to this in the Help System.

Hi list,
I’ve recently taken the step from the LaTeX bundle to the LaTeX 2 bundle, but only for a short time. Indeed, whenever I type a \, the autocompletion command takes hand but fail as soon as I hit the next symbol (letter, parenthesis, bracket...). It just displays the message “Error: too many arguments” (as tool tip). So, basically, it prevents me from typing a backslash, which is quite a pain when working with LaTeX.
Any suggestion ?

In Stata, strings can begin with the two characters: `", end with the
characters: "'. How can textmate recognise these as quotation marks? The
following code in the Stata bundle won't work, because textmate doesn't parse
the 'begin' and 'end' lines as I'd like it to. Instead it (understandably)
complains that it finds a " where there should be a ; on the second line below.
Is there some way to get textmate to recognise this quotation convention?
{ name = 'string.quoted.single.stata';
begin = "`"";
end = ""'";
patterns = (
{ name = 'constant.character.escaped.untitled';
match = '\\.';
},
);
},
Any help much appreciated.

Dear TextMate experts,
I would like to execute the shell script myscript.sh from within TextMate. The script myscript.sh takes a file name as argument and does something with the file (it indents the file correctly; for this, it calls emacs in batch mode). So if I use
sh myscript.sh myfile.R
the script works perfectly fine, i.e., it indents the source code contained in myfile.R. I would like to have textmate do this for me on the file I am working on when I use a certain key combination.
Using the Bundle Editor, I created a new command "tidy" with key equivalent "shift+command+T". As the actual command, I put in:
sh /path_to_my_script/myscript.sh "$TM_FILENAME"
Unfortunately, this does not work. I set "Input" to "Entire Document" and "Output" to "Replace Document" (currently I obtain an empty document after "shift+command+T").
How can I trigger the shell script, such that the current content of myfile.R is replaced by the (quietly generated) output of myscript.sh?
Below is the script
Many thanks in advance,
Marius
#!/bin/sh
function usage () {
printf "Indent R file with Emacs ESS package.\n"
printf "Usage: $0 FILE\n"
exit 1

I've been trying to track down a problem in code folding for Ruby.
At this point, I have two 100+ line files, one of which has problems
and the other does not. The _odd_ thing is that cmp(1) says they're
identical. I have tried closing the files, stopping and restarting
TM, reloading bundles, etc. Nothing seems to make much difference.
One annoying constraint is that the code is proprietary, so I can't
just post it publicly (even in its rather cut-down form). Sigh.
Details:
TextMate 1.5.9 (1510)
Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Mac Pro)
RUBY_VERSION 1.8.5 (for Google Sketchup Pro 7.1.6859)
Guesses:
It appears that TM has saved bogus folding information for one of
the files, but not the other. Suggestions on tracking this down
or at least gathering useful information?

I have been trying to get Scheme set up for Textmate. When I first installed
the bundle and tried the run command, I got an error. I had an installation
from Macports, but I wiped that and downloaded mit-scheme for Unix and
installed the binary in: /usr/local/bin.
I set the shell variable, "TM_SCHEME", and pointed it to:
"/usr/local/bin/scheme". Now, when I call the run command, it brings up the
read-eval-print-loop and it does not read the scheme text file I have saved.
Now, I understand that I could mess around with the Run command in the
Bundle editor, but I hardly have enough experience to do that. Does anyone
know if there is another bundle I can install that accounts for this issue,
or a different way in which I can install Scheme?
Thanks a bunch for the help.

Hi
Textmate version 1.5.9 (1589) on MacOSX 10.6.3
The clipboard history does not appear to be working correctly
ctr+opt+cmd+V is supposed to pop up a window that allows you to arrow through your history
In my case it just recalls the last entry in the clipboard, as I repeatedly press ctr+opt+cmd+V, it adds the previous entry. For example if I put into my clipboard history apple banana pear
pressing ctl+opt+cmd+V three times produces
pear banana apple
But no drop down menu to allow me to arrow through
Any ideas why?

Every time TextMate tries to update automatically on my Snow Leopard 10.6.2
MacBook Pro I get:
*3/11/10 7:58:46 AM TextMate [1749] Error checking for new version:
Failed to connect to 208.78.96.139: No route to host*

What is the problem with the auto update?
Greetings,
This is slightly off topic but I'm hoping some of the TextMate-Cocoa
people here could help me.
I'm learning Cocoa programming and I'm not interested in using Xcode
for my development. I prefer using Clang, Rake, Textmate, and
Interface Builder. I know Allan and company development Textmate using
Cmake instead of Xcode. I'm wondering how to run unit tests this way.
Every OCUnit app tutorial I see assumes you are using Xcode. Anyone
know how to set up unit tests manually via the command line? Once I
see how it is done I can set up a Rake target/tasks to handle it for
me.
Any other advice when developing Cocoa apps without Xcode?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
If have a tiny problem since I'm using NSLocalizedString a lot in a project. We had a similar discussion at irc a couple of months ago and maybe I came across with a solution.
E.g. you have the following Objective-C++ file:
@implementation AClass
- (void)foo:(NSDictionary *)w
{
MyFun(NSLocalizedString(@"Error", @"error"), NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @"OK"),
nil, nil, tableWindow, self, nil, nil, nil,
NSLocalizedString(@"bla", @"bla"));
NSBeep();
}
- (void)foo2:(NSDictionary *)w
{
}
you'll see in the Symbol List:
AClass
- foo:
NSLocalizedString
NSBeep
- foo2:
which could be sometimes useful but the NS... stuff disturb generally. Then I looked at the Objective-C++ Language definitions and I found:
...
patterns = (
{ include = 'source.c++'; },
{ include = 'source.objc'; },
);
...
This means that 'source.c++' will be processed before 'source.objc'. By my opinion this is the wrong order. Because if I change this into:
...
patterns = (
{ include = 'source.objc'; },
{ include = 'source.c++'; },
);
...
I get for the above example the correct Symbol List:
AClass
- foo:
- foo2:
Are there any reasons for that language grammar order?

I'm new to TextMate, trying it out as a desktop blogging editor using the
blogging bundle. I like its speed, compared to the online editor of my
wordpress.com blog. If the trial version works out I'll buy it properly.
But there's a small problem. I've been trying to upload images, and find
that when I drag an image to the editing window, it only gives me a link to
the local location of the file and does not upload it automatically. This is
a problem I've seen mentioned elsewhere on the Textmate blog but haven't
found an answer to. What is happening, though, is that once I post my
writing to my blog and then fetch it back for editing, only after doing that
is it possible for me to drag-and-upload an image in the way that is
indicated by the screencast and help file.
Is this normal behaviour? Should I be able to upload an image straightaway
into the post before posting it? If so, how can I fix the problem I'm
having? I'm on OS 10.5.8, using version 1.5.9 of Textmate. Thank you for any
ideas or suggestions.

I don't have a bundle for Makefiles in my version of Textmate (1.5.8).
Makefiles are treated as plain text files.
I haven't found one listed via the GetBundles bundle. (I installed CMake,
but that doesn't appear to be it.) I've also looked through the
bundle list<http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/>and don't see one.
Where is the Makefile bundle.
Thanks.
Hi, Allan-
Following up from IRC...
My text editor of choice on Windows was TextPad, and it supported a
handy way to insert sequential numbers for "replace all" operations.
This was useful, for example, when inserting line numbers, creating
unique ids, etc.
I don't know if the syntax was unique to TextPad, or if it is part of
some standard regex syntax, but it was pretty simple and effective:
\i(<start_index>,<increment>)
\i Replace with numbers starting from 1, incrementing by 1.
\i(10) Replace with numbers starting from 10, incrementing by 1.
\i(0,10) Replace with numbers starting from 0, incrementing by 10.
\i(100,-10) Replace with numbers starting from 100, decrementing by -10.
Any chance this (or something similar) could be added to TextMate?
Thanks-
-Doug
Hello,
I started to use Textmate as editor for pages in textile and markdown
format. I run into an issue with a page that includes Java source as
part of an article.
If the article contains a preformatted region <pre>...</pre> and inside
this region there is Java code containing a question mark as part of a
generic function, then the rest of the article is marked in red color.
If I use markdown format instead of textile, then I can solve this with
two blank lines. This is not possible with textile format. Both pages
render correctly in the preview.
I have attached two sample files for this.

I've been using textmate from Tiger to Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I like
textmate so much that I can't live without it. I use textmate for writing
C/C++ and Java codes, as well as LaTeX.
But since snow leopard I've been encountering more and more problems than
before. And later I heard it's because snow leopard use Ruby 1.8.7 as
default while most textmate bundles use Ruby 1.8.2. When I use textmate on
my snow leopard Macbook Pro, a lot of bundles and scripts that used to
function pretty well now don't work. Here I have the question, can I solve
those compatibility issues by just getting the latest bundles from the svn
sites? Or that textmate 1.5.* is just not suited for Snow Leopard, the app
itself needs update to get full compatibility on Snow Leopard? If so, maybe
I'll wait for textmate 2 before I write all my projects in textmate.
Forgive my bad English, I'm a Chinese guy.
Thanks for your tips.

I want to know whether someone other than me would like to have a version of TextMate for the iPad? Let me explain: I use TextMate primarily for TeX and some trivial modifications of websites. I could get by with a simple text editor and since the iPad allows one to use an external keyboard, I could type comfortably for hours on it.
Since (as far as I understand) TextMate is very modular and the interface very minimal, one should be able to whip up a nice, clean interface for the iPhone OS?
What do you guys think: have I been caught in Steve's reality distortion field or is there a market for an editor on the iPad?

Hi, I have a command (html output) that will be run frequently to give a
status update. Based on it's output, the user will make a change to their
code and run it again. But it gets tedious having to click back onto the
window every time they run the command.
Is there a way to have my command automatically switch back to the window
they've been writing their text in, after displaying the output, so that the
output updates, but user focus appears to remain in the editor window?
I hunted through some Applescript for the last hour, but haven't seen
anything I could figure out how to use.
I tried recording the command with automator, it gave me
-- Press ⌘`
delay 0.232022
set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000
set uiScript to "keystroke \"`\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds )
on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds
repeat
try
run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
exit repeat
on error errorMessage
if ((current date) > endDate) then
error "Can not " & uiScript
end if
end try
end repeat
end doWithTimeout
Then I tried placing that in a system call to osascript at the end of my
command, but it didn't seem to do anything.
Hi all,
I was contemplating the fact that Latex 2 requires a separate templates directory, rather than having a stock set within the bundle itself. On the one hand, I appreciate the ability to add my own templates in this directory, but the ruby directives aren't applied upon import, a nice feature of the original Latex bundle's internal templates, and this means extra typing. Am I doing something clueless once again?
I also find the template window itself that opens under Latex 2 to be a bit of a tease: it doesn't work quite as advertised in the Help file. When I hit return I get to edit the template name, but I can't seem to find a keyboard sequence out of this mode (no 'reasonable' emacs/readline sequence works, other than tabbing me into the template preview window, where I can edit the template) and I have to use the mouse to insert the selected template. [I'm running Snow Leopard on my powerbook, Leopard on my iMac]. I like my mouse, but not that much. :)
What would be nice is to have a stock set of templates in the bundle, and then such a window that allows one to create a new template by using or even modifying [but not replacing] one of the ones already stored in the template inventory list; of course, the user-defined/modified templates would have to be set aside as is currently required. But hey this is Textmate, there must be a macro/script that can be developed for doing this (not that anyone needs more work!)? And wouldn't it be nice that the template editor have all the power of textmate and the latex2 bundle at the ready, to ease the template modification?
Now, Latex 2 does indeed have some major improvements over the first bundle. But the templates feature seems a step backward in my opinion (or aging is getting to my brain?). Thanks for listening.
Best wishes

The Latex 2 Bundle is indeed much better, thank you!
The only oddity here is as soon as I set any flag via TM_LATEX_FLAGS, the document no longer compiles and I receive a prompt asking me to enter a filename (TeX cannot find my .tex file to compile). As soon as I unset TM_LATEX_FLAGS everything works again. Odd.
Still, this is a great solution — many thanks.

I'm trying out Alex Ross's alternative latex bundle, but am having
trouble getting it to typeset my documents. I go the latex+dvips
route. Would that be the problem?
Thanks,
Kyle
Greetings,
I have used TextMate for some time for programming and other text-editing things and I love the program. I would like to use it for LaTeX documents as well; it's superior customization is a significant help in speeding up technical writing. However, the speed of compilation in TM is incredibly slower than in TeXShop, the program I am forced to use now. It is a significant enough difference that it is incredibly frustrating to use TM for LaTeX. Both programs are using pdflatex engine, I am not running the Latexmk.pl script, and I'm running straightforward scripts (mostly for short papers and class assignments) so there should be no speed difference?
I wonder if anyone else had this issue and if there is some kind of fix. I am running on a 6-month-old MacBook Pro so speed should not be an issue --- I had read someone re-wrote the compile script to be faster, but have not found any link to such a script. I have put a screencast at http://files.tomshafer.name/misc/textmatelatex/ demonstrating the differences both in initial compile time (not an issue) and subsequent file time (very important to me — I compile every minute or so to preview changes).
Any thoughts would be much appreciated! I very much enjoy TextMate and to be able to write LaTeX would be a magnificent upgrade for me.

I moved my latex bundle out of the appropriate directory, and then
back in, and now I can't get command R to run latex and give me a pdf
in skim, as it once did. I get the error message below.
Can anyone give me a pointer?
thanks,
Kyle
