Hi
I've just started using TextMate and I'm hugely impressed by it. My
text editor requirements are not very sophisticated, I use it mostly
for HTML/CSS and for processing text from time to time from databases,
or transcripts of online meetings with chat clients, that kind of
thing. I'm sure that I will be using TextMate for my simple
AppleScript writing as well now in preference to Apple's rather basic
Script Editor.
I have been using BBEdit for ages and I feel it is a very fine text
editor indeed, however TextMate is a bit of genius.
Before I used BBEdit I used the Nisus Writer word processor for text
editing in the classic Mac OS. Although a word processor Nisus Writer
was a superb text editor and, like TextMate offered many truly unique
abilities. Nisus also made a text editor called QUED/M which predated
their word processor and had similar unique abilities of their word
processor.
One of the truly great things about Nisus Writer and QUED/M was the
non-contiguous text selection and the way in which Nisus had exploited
this.
I think Nisus were the first with non-contiguous text selection but
today it is quite common-place. An obvious example is Apple's TextEdit
which will do non-contiguous text selection. If you are not familiar
with it then you can open an TextEdit document and put it in 'rich
text' mode if it is not already. Then put some text into it. Now you
can select non-contiguous words in that text using command-click. Now
that you have selected those words you can press command-B on your
keyboard and those words will turn bold.
I'm now going to describe how Nisus exploited non-contiguous text
selection and why it was so very useful.
If you imagine that you have some text which is intended for a web-
site. Within the text are various book titles and you wish to surround
these with the <em> tag. There is nothing at all about the words of
the book titles which is similar. Well with Nisus Writer you would
select the book titles non-contiguously, using command-click, then you
would get out the Find dialogue and put in the Find field:
.+
In the Replace field:
<em>&<em>
(The & matching all of the Find field)
Then you invoke 'Replace in Selection' and each piece of non-
contiguously selected text is now surrounded by <em> tags.
In Nisus Writer you would turn that operation into a macro and now you
can apply the <em> tags to any non-contiguously selected text with
great ease.
Now it gets cleverer :)
In the example above the replaced text, the book titles surrounded by
<em> is still selected after the Find/Replace has been performed. This
means that further GREP Find/Replace can by performed using 'Replace
in Selection.
With a programme like BBEdit a search for multiple items in a file
will produce a browser identifying the search results. However with
Nisus Writer a search for multiple items in a file will leave them
selected non-contiguously in the file. This enables you to perform a
further search on those non-contiguous selections with 'Replace in
Selection' again.
To give an example.
I think it is nice to have smart quotes in the displayed text in a web-
site. To do this I have to use HTML entities. The actual text I have
contains 'stupid' quotes, however I can create a Find/Replace that
will look for the 'stupid' quotes and replace them with 'smart quote'
HTML entities depending on whether they come before or after words.
The problem is that there are many 'stupid' quotes in the HTML tags
for things like class="main".
What I need to do is to find the text between the HTML tags and then
replace the 'stupid' quotes in that with the smart quote HTML entities.
To do this in BBEdit I created an AppleScript which has a loop. It
finds the first instance of 'text between HTML tags' and then replaces
'stupid' quotes with smart quote HTML tags. Then it finds the next
instance of 'text between HTML tags' and so on...
To do that required me to create quite a clunking AppleScript.
However in Nisus Writer I could do it with two simple Find/Replace
operations. Because Nisus Writer had non-contiguous selection of
course. I could find all the instances of 'text between HTML tags' and
know that this was selected. Then I could use 'Replace in Selection'
to replace all the 'stupid' quotes with smart quote HTML entities. For
Nisus Writer this was an absolutely trivial matter.
So, the moral of my story is that in a text editor with GREP Find/
Replace having non-contiguous text selection brings a massive amount
of additional text editing power.

Is it possible to add the feature or even a plugin that makes TextMate
remember which directories I have expanded in the project drawer? I'd
like to be able to quit TextMate and be able to keep my project window
exactly as I had it the next time I launch the project.
Thanks,

Hi,

I see all subversion commands:

Would it be possible to have the submenu titles instead of a line

This already works for shortcuts of commands which are stored in

Hi,
for some bundles I wrote I came across that it would be nice to have a
kind of a "init procedure" for bundles.
I'm thinking about to have a standard subfolder called "_INIT_" in a
bundle. If that subfolder exists all scripts inside of that subfolder
will be executed while installing that bundle (meaning double-click at
X.tmbundle, or "Reload Bundles", or TM starts). It should be added a
marker that indicates that the init procedure was done to avoid to
call these scripts more than once.
This init scripts should be execute inside of the bundle environment
(to e.g. interpret $TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT correctly).
This could be helpful for instance:
- to check dependencies of libs, files, versions of executables, OS
version etc. and give an alert if something mismatches
- to set up/build/unzip bundle specific files (useful to minimize the
bundle size while downloading)
- to install a specific environment used by the bundle's commands
(e.g. for the Rdaemon, it will install Rdaemon while installing the
bundle)
- to ask the user if a file is missing to download it and to install it
I do not know if that request is specific to me. And I do not know
what kind of consequences will arise, esp. to check e.g. a text file
was changed inside of the bundle which is the source to built an index
file.
Of course, it could also be a security issue.
Furthermore if these init scripts always will execute if TM starts it
could be used to check if an update is available for the given bundle.
Are there any comments on that?
Thanks,
--Hans
Hi,
I try to use the "Edit in Textmate" function in Mail but all I get is a
blank page. If I type something and save it, it would just add that piece of
text to the mail, where the cursor is.
Is this the default behaviour? I thought Textmate usually display the whole
mail....
The "Edit in Textmate" works in other application, I'm writing this post now
through Safari in Textmate.
Thanks
Daniel

A annoyance with the insert todo -macro and ruby is that if the cursor is
indended when using it it places the =begin and =end tags at the current
level. The problem is that ruby only regognizes them at the start of the
line.
So this works:
if true
puts "foo"
=begin
TODO:
=end
end
But this doesn't work:
if true
puts "foo"
=begin
TODO:
=end
end
I haven't had the time to look at the insert-todo code too much so I can't
provide a patch, but the correct behaviour would be to make sure that
there is no whitespace before the comment block tags.
(IMO is rather silly of ruby that block comments can't have whitespace
before the =begin and =end tags...)
hello,i'm wondering if is any rule to select a text and drag it with the

Hello,
I'm a fresh user of TextMate, and I have a little problem. By default there
is something assigned to the Alt+Shift+S keys combination. This "something"
prints a message:
cat: /tmp/TextMate-ScratchSnippet.txt: No such file or directory
The problem is that this keys combination is also a combination for the
Polish letter "Ś", so it's difficult to write regular Polish text. Is there
a way to turn this shortcut off?
Thank You for help.

Hi,
I would like to gather some suggestions for the following.
1) Don't want to go into that Latex thing.
2) Keep chapters in simple Text Format ( or markdown or Textile )
3) Project also contains a huge amount of reference files in txt and pdf
format
4) What's the best way to handle:
a) Index
b) footnotes
c) References
d) Appendixes etc.
Is it a good thing to keep the Book in one single file, or is it better
to use multiple files ?
Suggestions, links and resources welcome

Hi,
I just tried to summarize my experiences with the problem:
How to insert an UTF-8 encoded text by using an HTML output window
(via TextMate.system() and AppleScript)?
[and without beeping ;)]
AND
How to be compatible with Tiger and Leopard?

Hi guys!
I bought TextMate a few days ago, but Python editing is giving me the creeps.
First, I disabled the Auto-pair characters option, but I still get the
closing parenthesis and colon when I create a function ("def"). It
ignores when I type the closing parenthesis, but it doesn't ignore the
colon.
Second, it seems TextMate get really confused when you follow PEP8: If
you use spaces instead of tabs, it doesn't do auto-indentation in the
next line. In the same issue, it seems TextMate uses tabs instead of
spaces (against the PEP8.)
Third, still in the PEP8-issues, I'm trying to find a way to make
hard-breaks when going beyond column 78. TextMate have soft-breaks,
but I'd really like to have it to automagically insert the break for
me (and add an indentation to the next line.)
Fourth, PyCheckMate doesn't understand when you do an indentation when
you do a hard-break and add the indentation (it complains about
"unexpected indent".)
I guess most of it is easily fixable messing with the Bundle, but I
still didn't grasp the whole concept of it. Any points would be really
helpful.

Our development team has been tracking some odd behaviour with SVN commits
and updates.
We are primarily a three man team and we all commit code into our repo which
works well.
However, we've noticed that after I perform a project wide search and
replace using regex and then commit, the data committed is not from the
current file. The regex replacements are actually carried out on what
appears to be a copy of the file from the last "Save Project" date.
For example:
"appCaches.php" is a file maintained by subversion. Download the files,
here: http://www.mattmecham.com/images/appcachefiles.zip
r#1355 was made by me on 21st May - which coincides with the last time I
chose "Save Project" even though I choose "Save All" regularly.
r#1479 was committed by a member of the development team adding data to the
file. Although I chose rev 1479, this file was committed around 1450ish and
hasn't changed until I did my global search and replace, so it's not just a
one revision increment problem.
r#1480 was made by me after performing a global search and replace. As you
can see, it's actually performed a search and replace on r#1355, not r#1479!
What does TextMate do when you choose "Save Project"? I thought it just
updated the xml file containing data about open files. Does the regex search
and replace work on cached copies anywhere?
Thanks

Hello, been using TextMate for a few years now, a good record for my
first
annoyance :)
I'm writing a lot of Python code now and since it uses whitespace for
blocks, every time I paste something after a function or class etc the
pasted text is indented at the level of the previous block when I want
it to
be pasted the way it was copied.
This means every time I paste, I have to select the block I just
pasted and
un-indent it hundreds of times every day...
Is there a command to turn off auto-indent? like Cmd-something Cmd-V
Cmd-something so I can toggle it off when pasting in Python.
Or even better, some sort of macro like Cmd-Shift-V that would paste
without
auto-indent
Thanks,
Skye
Greetings,
I am currently using TextMate for a Pylons project with its own virtual
environment. So, instead of using /usr/local/bin/python, I use a python
interpreter at a specific path. Is there an environment variable I can set so
that TextMate uses the correct interpreter so that my imports go through?
Thanks,

Hi list,
The comment/decomment command (apple-/) has a different effect in
LaTeX files (correctly prepends %) than in TeX files (incorrectly
prepends #).
To fix that:
< ciaran> cDlm: ok, if you go into the bundle editor, change the
dropdown at top left to
select Preferences, and then look for the "Comments"
item in the LaTeX bundle
< ciaran> and change where it says "text.tex.latex" at the bottom
right to be "text.tex"
Also here are the conclusions of the IRC discussion with ciaran and allan:
- the TeX grammar is not meant to be use per se (then it shouldn't
appear in the mode menu at the bottom of buffers)
- .sty files are claimed by the TeX grammar (LaTeX would be better)

Hello together,
I'm facing quite a strange problem with the citation inclusion in Latex
(->Latex ->Insert ->Citation Based on current word).
I always get the following error:
/tmp/temp_textmate.zgtzns:4: command not found: kpsewhich -show-path=bib
After the error-message, the right citation key is inserted. But i always
have to delete the text before (the error message), and this is very
uncomfortable.
I am working on a project, and the problem only occurs in the
"child"-documents, in my Master-File everything the citation inclusion works
very fine.
I set the the shell variable for the master-file as well as for the
Bib-file.
I'm quite confused what the problem could be and i hope somebody of you
could help me,
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
About a month or so ago I asked what people did about php debugging and
stuff, something I really wanted that ZDE offered (the client itself I don't
like). Several people responded and it sounded like there were a lot of
error_log'ing and stuff, but nothing on par with a real debugger.
With this in mind, I figured it was worth mentioning this project:
http://www.bluestatic.org/software/macgdbp/
It's a Cocoa based client for xdebug that code stepping and more. More info
can be found here:

Hope this is helpful (and appropriate).

Howdy. I'm new here. So far, I really like what I see in TextMate.
In other text editors I've worked in, when you select some text and launch
the find/replace dialog, the "find" field automatically gets populated with
the selected text.
Is it possible to set TextMate behave this way?
Thanks.
I know this one can be done. I've been digging, but can't seem to figure it
out.
I'm using the bundle editor to create a bunch of snippets. Because I have
to create so many of them, I like them categorized.
I'm looking to do something similar to what I see in the CSS > Background
bundle. That is, a top-level category of snippets, plus sub-menus that
contain other snippets.
How does one go about setting this up?
Thanks.

Hi,
The project I am currently working on requires me to write xml
configuration files for a custom application for experience sampling.
The files contain embedded python scripts, contained in the following
regions:
<script event="OnLoad">
<![CDATA[
python script
]]>
</script>
I know that TextMate is able to deal with embedded regions that have a
different language deffinition than the main file (like php and
javascript sections in HTML) so I was trying to set this up for XML so I
can have proper syntax highlighting for python. So far, though, I have
not had any luck with this. I tried adding the following in the xml
language definition, both right after the section for embedded java and,
when that didn't work, right after the section for CDATA comments, but
it doesn't seem to work:
{ name = 'source.python.embedded.xml';
begin = '<script.*?}>\s*?<!\[CDATA\[';
end = ']]>\s*?<script/>';
beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'punctuation.section.embedded.begin.xml'; }; };
endCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'punctuation.section.embedded.end.xml'; }; };
patterns = ( { include = 'source.python'; } );
},
This was based on the example for embedded java, but obviously I either
didn't understand what the java example does, or I didn't specify the
begin and end strings correctly. I also suspect that since there is
already a definition for CDATA comments, this needs to be in a specific
place to override that definition.
Any help with getting this to work would be greatly appreciated. The
scripts can be quite long, so having proper syntax highlighting would
make things much easier.
Thanks so much,
Pedja

after tinkering with tm_dialog for a plugin[1] I have come to really
wish you could embed an 'html output' webview into a NIB.
The idea being that instead of invoking
'returnArgument:your:arguments:' you could invoke
'htmlOutput:your_command:and:arguments:' and display the results
directly in the dialog rather than outputting to an enclosing html
view.
Note that I don't want to do async and then update the dialog with
results (to go in a listview perhaps). The process I'm getting
results from can take a long time to complete and can generate reams
of information so I want to display the partial results as they come
in.
Obviously you'd need to wire-up the WebView delegates to point to the
File's Owner, as well as tell the File's Owner about the WebView and
progress indicator etc etc.
I tried some cruel hacks by instantiating OakHTMLOutputManager in my
nib and wiring it all together. Alas, I could only manage to evaluate
a "TextMate.system" calling [[webview windowScriptObject]
evaluateWebScript] via bindings. I also managed some other
experiments to tell the OakHTMLOutputManager that it was busy (to
update the progress control).
The only other behavior I cold elicit was some spectacular crashes
trying to convince the OakHTMLOutputManager to invoke anything...
yeah, I know I'm tinkering with stuff I shouldn't :-)
So... my question: is there any way in current TM to achieve my goal
(embed html output in a dialog) - perhaps in DIALOG2 (that I haven't
looked at yet)?
Assuming the answer is 'no' - I'd just like to say that capability
could be an excellent bridge between the current tm_dialog+html_output
and a full-blown plugin.
Thanks for listening,
Trevor

Hi,
there is a very tiny and marginal issue about rendering in the content
of the tooltip under Leopard.
If I have a string "simplified" (length 10) it will be displayed as
"simplified" (length 9) caused by the used fi ligature. This leads to
a small problem if one wants to output a pretty looking table for
instance. Under Tiger is that not the case.
Is this behaviour switchable?

Hi,
I'm just beginning to like Python ;)
Caused by that issue here are some tiny suggestions:
Walter Dörwald had the idea to provide exit codes similar to Ruby's
exit_codes.rb.
This could be integrate in tm_helpers.py à la:
def exit_discard():
sys.exit(200)
def exit_replace_text(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(201)
def exit_replace_document(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(202)
def exit_insert_text(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(203)
def exit_insert_snippet(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(204)
def exit_show_html(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(205)
def exit_show_tool_tip(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(206)
def exit_create_new_document(out = ''):
if out: print out
sys.exit(207)
Furthermore tm_helpers' sh(cmd) is not UTF-8 safe.
If I'm using e.g. popen("grep 'ä' 'test.txt'") or tm_helpers.sh("grep
'ä' 'test.txt'") I have problems with the codec.
I tried several things to encode/decode unicode but no success. Maybe
some of you can fix this.
I went the way to use popen2. Then I didn't have such problems (?)
The next issue is regarding dialog.py. Maybe one could the function
'menu' looking for DIALOG2. If there's DIALOG2 it uses that syntax,
if not fall back to DIALOG1.
This could also be done for Ruby's ui.rb.

I moved the mailing list to a new server. I couldn’t migrate
individual user settings (other than digest/non-digest) so if you had
disabled mail delivery or similar, you’ll have to do that again and if
you had a list password, then that is now reset.
We may also have lost around 40 subscribers, at least if the number of
subscribers in Mailman’s web UI is correct.
Also, messages to the list sent in the last 8 hours or so have bounced
with “relay access denied”.
But other than that, everything went smooth :)
My TextMate today started acting funny. When some
text is represented as italic (e.g., in LaTeX, inside an
\emph{THIS TEXT SHOWN AS ITALIC} ,
the text looks corrupted: some of the caracters are
replaced by other characters. If I switch back to
non-italic e.g. by changing bundle, everything looks ok.
Two funny thngs:
1) not all characters are changed. This
\textit{AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA}
appears perfect. On the other hand, if I write
\textit{EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE}
some of the E's are replaced by an upperscore:
the 4th, the 8th, 12th AND 13th, etc.periodically
2) if I shift the thing, the position of the corrupted
characters remain fixed:i.e., if I write
\textit{EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE}
(three spaces at the beginning) now the 1st,
5th, etc are changed into an upperscore.
Any ideas before I download a fresh copy and reinstall?
Thanks

Hi,
is there/could there be a way to cache the undo-history in TM or
future TM2 even after closing the programm?
Users of laptop computers who prefer the sleep mode instead of shuting
down the computer will have the advantage to find their desktops/
workspaces just as they have left them, including undo histrories.
They will have the disadvantage that sleepmode will suck empty their
batteries, especially when you have a lot of RAM installed. Also this
is over the time lowering the life expectancy of your accu set.
Sometimes I only use sleep mode because I dont want to loose the
changes that I have made in TM (code debugging most of the time)...
If Historie would be cached, I then have one reason less to worry
about shutting down completely or not.
Id be happy if more programs could support such a behaviour, it is
convenient and will save at least some resources and energy.
Thanks & sincere
Dennis

I guess I am the original author, though I haven't worked on it for a
while (not since my kids were born!). The svn blame for this piece of
the grammar goes to gerti, duff and msheets.
Let me say that if we as a Textmate community really want to have
distributed editing of these grammars, then we should develop a set of
test cases to check if our grammar edits break anything. Maybe one or
two documents with a .png of the correct highlighting using a default
color scheme.
best wishes, Eric

Hi,
I'm recently playing a lot with great Ruby web framework called
Ramaze. By default when running my project, Ramaze highlights
different event types in the console with different colors. So errors
are red, warnings yellow, notices green and so on. This works great
when I run my program from the Terminal, but when I run it within
TextMate with ⌘R and its output window unfortunately I get no colors.
I don't know if it is fault of Ruby bundle or TM internals, but I'd
love to see the colors there too, as they help reading logs a lot.
Best regards,

Anyone feel up to getting this working in textmate
http://txt2regex.sourceforge.net/
would be VERY handy

Hi,
This is just a generic question on how you use Terminal and TextMate
in developing with Rails. I benefit from the bundles like Ruby, Rails
RubyAMP and RSpec. My problem is that I would like to have a few
Terminal tabs open for one application. I need one tab for running
commands like script/generate or rake tasks. (I know I can use Control-
Shift-\ for some tasks, but it feels a bit slow to me.) Another tab is
for the server log genarated after `script/server`. And optionally I
have a tab open for script/console.
If I use Control-Shift-O, the Terminal window opens and `cd` to the
current directory. RubyAMP bundle has Control-Command-P for a similar
feature. But if I use the same command more than once, a new Terminal
window shows up. I would like to have a new tab instead.
What I do currently is that: 1) Open the TextMate project file, 2) I
use Control-Shift-O to open the Terminal window and find myself in the
project directory, 3) run the AppleScript I made to duplicate a tab.
My AppleScript is written at <http://samuraicoder.net/applescript_duplicating_tabs_terminal
>. This is just a shitty script, simply emulates what I do on
keyboards. Is there anybody who can know a much better way? Or would
you suggest any better workflow?

Hi,
I suggest to add German quotation marks to the Latex Bundle:
This can be archieved by adding
>>
<array>
<string>„</string>
<string>"</string>
</array>
<<
to
Latex.tmbundle/Preferences/Miscellaneous.plist and
Latex.tmbundle/Preferences/Smart\ Typing\ \(Strings\).tmPreferences
under the "highlightPairs" and "smartTypingPairs" sections in each
file.
Please note that I have limited knowledge on how those bundles work.
Applying the changes above worked for me.
Kind regards
Johannes
