by Patrick James

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. Patrick

Keep project drawer expansions across sessions

by Jason Tokoph

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, Jason

Feature Request inline menu for bundle commands with the same shortcut

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, example: if I press CTRL+SHIFT+A I see all subversion commands: Add to Repository Remove From Repository Revert Update to Newest ---------- Commit ---------- Blame Info Log View Revision... Status ---------- Diff Revisions ... Would it be possible to have the submenu titles instead of a line '--------' in TM 2.0? À la: Add to Repository Remove From Repository Revert Update to Newest ---------- Commit ---------- History and Info Blame Info Log View Revision... Status Diff Diff Revisions ... Merge  Show Available Revisions for Merging Resolve Conflicts With FileMerge… .... This already works for shortcuts of commands which are stored in different bundles. And I do not know if one could add a new level in the inline menu. Cheers, --Hans

Feature Request for Bundle Init

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

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

"Edit in Textmate" not working for Mail.app

by hiaw

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.

Insert todo with ruby idents =begin and =end

by Vesa-Pekka Palmu

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...)

Shortcut Alt+Shift+S conflict

by EDi_nabi

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.

Small Python annoyances

by Julio Biason

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. -- Julio Biason <julio.biason(a)gmail.com> Twitter: http://twitter.com/juliobiason

SVN, Save Project, Regex search and replace

by MattMecham

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?

Turn off auto-indent? Or paste without indent?

by Skye Poier Nott

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

comments in LaTeX bundle, wrong with TeX grammar

by Damien Pollet

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) -- Damien Pollet type less, do more [ | ] http://people.untyped.org/damien.pollet

Textmate/Latex: Citation Inclusion does not work

by n00by

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! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Textmate-Latex%3A-Citation-Inclusion-does-not-work-tp… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

PHP Debugging - ZDebug Client Coming Tomorrow

by Clark Endrizzi

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.

How to target my AS3 class library when compiling from Textmate?

Setting up syntax highlighting for python scripts embedded in xml files

by Pedja

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.

Textmate Bundle - Show Scope

Hello Do you have a source code for "Show Scope" action from Textmate bundle? It seems that the newest versions of TM don’t have it. I can see this option in screencasts, documentation but it cleary isn’t there. Textmate bundle from screencast: http://img.skitch.com/20080612-mwpw4tt8qk8efwrdumdx6yttjw.png Current menu (the same in 3 different copies of TM. I checked this with friends): http://img.skitch.com/20080612-ph5gtp54n3rqcx4be7edfed4cs.png Can you tell me where to obtain those snippets and/or explain to me why such a difference? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Textmate-Bundle---Show-Scope-tp17798176p17798176.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

tm_dialog question (maybe a feature request)

by Trevor Squires

Hey, 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 [1] http://github.com/protocool/ack-tmbundle/tree/master -- -- Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

Tooltip marginal ligature "bug/improvement" under Leopard

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

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? --Hans

some Python thoughts

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

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. Cheers, --Hans

Test

by Allan Odgaard

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 :)

weird bug

by Piero D'Ancona

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 Piero

Caching Undo-History?

by Dennis

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

Re: syntax highlighting in perl bundle

by Eric Hsu

> Now what context this bit of grammar is really for I don't know. > From what I can see the other examples I gave don't use above. > Perhaps the original author of this grammar can shed light on this > and make the proper changes. 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 -- Eric Hsu, Associate Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu

No colors from running command output (Ruby bundle)

by Adam Strzelecki

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, -- Adam Strzelecki |: nanoant.com :|

How to use Teminal and TextMate in Ruby on Rails

by Takaaki Kato

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? Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

Suggestion for the Latex Bundle

by Karl Meyer

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
