Hello - When doing a "Find" within a file, the found item(s) is highlighted but there is not really enough contrast to make it quickly noticeable. I find my myself having to scour over the document to locate where the highlighted word or phrase is. Is there a way to change this, so that when doing a "Find" the found item(s) shows up in yellow (or some other bright color)? I am using the Mac Classic theme... I did not see anything within the preferences for that. Thanks! - Jorma

key binding question

by phil swenson

I recently switched to Mac from Windows.... I have specific keybindings that I want to use. Specifically, I want cmd-y to delete a line, cmd-d to duplicate a line, and shift tab to reverse indent selected lines. In most apps I've been able to get cmd-y and cmd-d to work by adding this to the ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict file "@y" = ("selectLine:", "delete:"); "@d" = ("selectLine:", "copy:"); I don't know how to do the reverse indent. These keystrokes work for most applications, but not for TextMate. I have also tried this file: ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/DefaultKeyBinding.dict Could someone point me in the right direction? thanks phil

Feature Idea: Selectable TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY

by Luke Daley

Hi all, Just bouncing this idea… I would like to be able to active a directory withtin the project to be the TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY until deactivated or another directory activated. Use case: With maven it's common to have a master project with lots of modules, sometimes you want to target a command to a particular sub module, not the master module which is the TM project. You could argue that the commands should be smart about using the project drawer selection, but IMO this can be confusing when dealing with multiple selections. Thoughts? LD.

Bundle or Language Grammar for raw PDF syntax?

by dzurn

I have to manipulate some PDF files directly so I was looking for a TextMate Bundle for PDF/FDF files. They have a pretty weird syntax, so I'm not sure which bundle might be useful as a starting point. I have the PDF reference (1,310 pages of excruciating detail) but I'm looking for something simple to at least make some logical sense from this 'non-human-readable' language :) Any pointers to a similar or even a partial bundle would be appreciated. Thanks Darryl Zurn Sample PDF internal syntax (PDF 1.7 Reference, page 1059): %PDF−1. 4 1 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Outlines 2 0 R /Pages 3 0 R >> endobj 2 0 obj << /Type Outlines /Count 0 >> endobj 3 0 obj << /Type /Pages /Kids [ 4 0 R ] /Count 1 >> endobj 4 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 3 0 R /MediaBox [ 0 0 612 792 ] /Contents 5 0 R /Resources << /ProcSet 6 0 R >> >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Length 35 >> stream % … Page-marking operators … endstream endobj 6 0 obj [ /PDF ] endobj xref 0 7 0000000000 65535 f 0000000009 00000 n 0000000074 00000 n 0000000120 00000 n 0000000179 00000 n 0000000300 00000 n 0000000384 00000 n trailer << /Size 7 /Root 1 0 R >> startxref 408 %%EOF -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bundle-or-Language-Grammar-for-raw-PDF-syntax--tp1698… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Throw us a bone?

by Jay Soffian

Allan, I know, I know, 2.0 will be ready when it's ready. But can't you tease us just a little? For example, let's say you have a todo list for 2.0 and you're working your way through it checking off items. Can you tell us what percentage of that list is complete? It wouldn't really give us any idea at all when the thing will be out, since that last 10% can take 90% of the time to develop and we don't really know when you started on 2.0 anyway, nor what percentage of your time is devoted to 2.0. But it would be a nice teaser. (Not that there's anything wrong with 1.5.7...) Fanning the vaporware flames, j. :-)

Filename Extensions

by Steve King

In another thread Allan Odgaard wrote: > TextMate will not search binary files, granted it knows that the file > type is binary. So right-click a file (using the extension you want to > exclude) in the project drawer and select to treat it as binary. That helps, but isn't perfect. For one thing, it can't handle files without an extension, such as executables. If I just open a directory as a project, it's likely to be a mixed bag of source, object, and executable files. It's easy enough to tell TextMate to skip the object (*.o) files, but how do I tell it that the executable named "xyzzy" is binary? There's another quirk related to filename extensions that drives me nuts. For various reasons, I have a lot of files with the extension "*.txt" which actually contain different types of data. We have, for instance, configuration files, SNMP MIB files, and plain ol' text files sharing that extension. I'd like different syntax highlighting rules to be used for each. So I open "foo.txt" and change the language to "MIB". Then I open "bar.txt" and change to "plain text", and so on. It seems that every time I open a file with the *.txt extension I have to fiddle with the language. (Yeah, if it were up to me I'd give all these files different extensions. Unfortunately the naming conventions were established long before I was hired here!) Since the majority of *.txt files I edit actually are plain text, I think it'd be great if I could tell TextMate explicitly, "Treat *.txt as plain text unless I tell you specifically otherwise" instead of having it automatically change the definition of the whole extension whenever I switch. I'd still end up changing types, but at least it'd cut down on how often I'd need to. Bonus points for remembering which full filenames have been manually mapped to something else. What would be even better would be for TextMate to examine the contents of the file as well as the filename to determine what language it is. If the extension is ambiguous, check the first few bytes for a shell shebang line, or an emacs-style modeline, or some other clue as to the type. And I would absolutely swoon if the language definition itself contained a way to specify what to look for, letting TextMate try each language in turn until it found a match. -- Steve King Sr. Software Engineer Arbor Networks +1 734 821 1461 www.arbornetworks.com <http://www.arbornetworks.com/>

Error using Ruby on Rails Bundle

Extreme slowness on files with long lines / no carriage returns

by Ian Kershaw

Hi, I've done a basic search on Google but can't find anything specific about a problem I'm having with Textmate, namely handling large textfiles or textfiles with long lines. It's driving me nuts. I'm having to deal with XML and HTML files which have been 'compacted' so there are no carriage returns / line feeds and I want to tidy them up in TextMate so I can make then human readable but TextMate just takes forever to load the files. TextPad on the PC has no problems, but I didn't switch to Mac for my Windows colleagues to point and laugh! :) Seems like a basic capability of text editor that TextMate just can't deal with. Had this been noted before? Is there a fix in the pipeline? Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Kershaw Save paper and the environment. Don't print this email unless necessary.

Git Bundle Error

by Mark Eli Kalderon

Hi, I get the following strange error when using ctrl shift G on a markdown document that is part of a local Git repository: /tmp/temp_textmate.fN7vjq:26 in `open': No such file or directory - pages (ErrnoENDENT) from /tmp/temp_textmate.fN7vjq:26: in `entries' from /tmp/temp_textmate.fN7vjq:26 The weird thing is that if I change the language from Markdown to plain text everything works as expected---no error message and the Git menu comes up. With Select Bundle Item (ctrl cmd T) I checked and the ctrl shift G is not being used by any other bundle. Not sure what is going on. Best, Mark

can't open certain files from my project drawer

hi. In my project drawer, i can click certain files and they open in the textmate editor window: It's a Rails project, model files and other .rb files are OK but when I click on the files ending on .erb, nothing happens. For instance a file in /app/views/reports/index.html.erb It doesn't open. The only workaround i can figure out is to use command+T. Did i unintentionally touch a switch? Am I overlooking something obvious?

Question about Find in Project

Does anyone know if you can save your search results (in Find in Project dialog), as a text file? I tried selecting items in the dialog and copy and pasting into a textmate document, but that doesn't work. I look at the manual online, and it doesn't say anything about saving your search results. It would be nice to get my results into it's own file. My situation is that there are many instances of a particular email address(es) in some webforms, and I'd like to give a nice list (like the dialog has) to someone. Thanks, Kevin

Language Grammar

by Teifion Jordan

Hi I am trying to add a clause to my PHP language grammar that only affects a variable between square brackets/braces, for example it would match $bar from the following $foo[$bar] The language block I have is this var_index = { name = 'variable.other.index.php'; match = '(?x) \[(\$+)[a-zA-Z_\x{7f}-\x{ff}] [a-zA-Z0-9_\x{7f}-\x{ff}]*?\b\]'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.variable.php'; }; }; }; The problem is that it affects the square brackets/braces as well as the variable inside them. How do I alter it to only affect the variable and not the brackets/braces? Thanks in advance for any help Teifion –––––––––––––––––– http://woarl.com/blog

Git Bundle GUI Tools

Hi, The Git bundle is great, but the GUI tools don't seem to be working. View Branch History with Gitk does nothing, though Gitk works from the command line. View history with Gitnub launches two empty GitNub windows. Again nub works properly from the command line. Git Gui does nothing as well. Fine on the command line. I thought it might be a path issue, but running echo $PATH inside of TM with ctrl R shows that the paths are fine... Others on the irc have the same problem. Best, Mark

DIALOG2 popup Question

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Dear DIALOG2 popup developer, I have a problem ;) I want to insert a character which could have several names like ↓ arrow down ← arrow left ↑ arrow up α greek alpha β greek beta My aim is to write e.g. "arrow" and the popup dialog shows all arrow matches (only the glyph). Then I want to choose one and instead of inserting "arrow" it should insert the chosen glyph. Fine. I tried it and I had partly success. #### First problem: for the suggestions I have to write: {display="↓";match=down;},{display="↓";match=arrow;} this leads, of course, to having two ↓ in the list. Why not write: {display="↓";matches=("down","arrow");} In other words to allow more than one match. #### Second problem: If I want to do that I have to use the options -w for wait, because I want to replace e.g. "arrow" by my chosen glyph. Fine. But if I delete 5 characters to show all suggestions I do not see what I'm writing whereby the popup menu does its job perfectly. #### Third problem: If I type e.g. "arr" the popup dialog finds all matches beginning with "arr". But it would be nice to have an option to show only those items matching exactly. E.g. I have to type "arrow" to show all 'arrow's not only "a" or "ar" etc. ########## Here's a first naïve example command: Input: Selected Text or Word Output: Replace Selected Text Command: RES=$(echo '{suggestions=({display="↓";match=down;}, {display="↓";match=arrow;},{display="↑";match=arrow;}, {display="←";match=arrow;},{display="α";match=greek;}, {display="α";match=alpha;},{display="β";match=greek;}, {display="β";match=beta;});}' | "$DIALOG" popup -iwf "$TM_CURRENT_WORD") RES=$(echo "$RES" | grep display | perl -Xpe 's/.*?display = "(.*?)";/ $1/;s/\\U([0-9A-F]+)/chr(hex($1))/iesg;') echo -n "$RES" My overall aim is to provide a possibility to insert a glyph by looking for words in its Unicode name. Or is the DIALOG2 popup dialog not the right tool for it, meaning should one write its own rountine for that? Or is there a better way to do it? Thanks a lot for any hints in advance! --Hans

how to call CocoaDialog from Ruby?

TextMate Wish List

by s.ross

Hi-- This might already be doable in TM, and I just don't know it, but I thought it might be worth mentioning in case it's new: - Tear-off tabs. It would be great if, when working on a set of files in tabs, I could just drag one over to the side, to have it in a new window. Stacking in tabs works great in most cases, but occasionally, it's necessary to see two files side-by-side. - Many others have said this; I'll echo it: Split screen in horizontal, vertical, and both directions (ala Emacs), both to navigate the same file or different files in each pane. - Advance to next tab bindings uses the ` key. Right now, Cmd+Option+- > is the binding, and Cmd+` advances to next window. It would be great if the default binding for advance to next tab was Cmd+Option+` just to clear a few gray cells for other use :) Just a few thoughts.

scriptmate: how to start different tasks from different windows displayed in different HTML windows?

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, imagine I have two documents open for Ruby or R. I wrote some scripts and I know that these scripts are running for a while. I select one doc and press APPLE+R and I switch to the other one and I press APPLE+R. Fine. I see two HTML output windows working. But just in the moment I switched to the second doc to execute it, the first script finished its job. Thus my script from the second doc will be shown in the same HTML window for the first document. And I had no chance to read the result or error message. How can I get rid of it. I thought maybe by naming the HTML windows differently. But what will be the best way? Add a the starting time or the name of my doc window? But this leads to the problem that I want to have one HTML window for one script. I do not want several HTML windows hanging around, I do not know which belongs to which. Is that possible in some way? Many thanks in advance, --Hans

hyperlink helper defunct, or I have a ruby error?

by Timothy Bates

hi all, I found the "Hyperlink helper bundle" a very useful tool for creating wikipedia and other links.

LaTeX bundle keybindings

by Nicolas Schmidt

Hi, I experience a problem with keybindings and the LaTeX bundle. Specifically, the command "Insert Environment Based on Current Word" does not get activated if I hit the corresponding key sequence (but I can still activate it from the menu). Other commands (such as "Insert Command Based on Current Word") work perfectly, however. I checked my Mac OS X keyboard preferences, and the corresponding key sequence does not appear in the keybindings there. Perhaps someone had this problem before, and can enlighten me about this issue. Thanks in advance Nicolas

Paste with indentation

by andrea crotti

I don't understand why every time I paste something (from external programs or even textmate itself) it always indents it of at least one level. Is it done on purpose? Any way to disable this?

Gem that works in Terminal and doesn't work in TextMate

by Takaaki Kato

Hi, I'm trying to make RubyAMP (not hosted at macromates.com) work. I installed rb-appscript using "sudo gem install rb-appscript", but when I try to run with TextMate and require it in a script, it shows me an error "LoadError: no such file to load ― appscript". In irb, I could get "true" to require 'appscript' irb(main):003:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):004:0> require 'appscript' => true My ruby script is as simple as: p require('rubygems') p require('appscript') and if I run Command-R, it fails to load appscript. The script require 'rubygems' puts Gem.path returns /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ gems/1.8 /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 My ruby version is: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i686- darwin9.2.0] gem version is 1.1.1 The gem is installed at `/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rb- appscript-0.5.1`. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on an Intel-based MacBook. Looks like I need to add a gem path to TextMate(?) Any help would be appreciated. Takaaki -- Takaaki Kato http://samuraicoder.net

Problem with pdfsync in LaTeX with Skim and Textmate

by Yaniv Stopnitzky

Dear community, I am newly trying out Textmate, which I intend to use primarily with LaTeX, with the hopes of possibly switching permanently from my current text editor, TexShop. But I cannot get either the forward or backward search function of pdfsync to operate with Skim, my preferred viewer. I have already done the following: 1) Selected Skim as my viewer in the Textmate preferences. 2) Selected "View in Skim" from the LaTeX preferences in Textmate. 3) Synced (from inside Skim preferences) with Textmate. 4) Put the pdfsync.sty file in \user\texmf\tex\latex 5) Inserted the \usepackage{pdfsync} in my document. 6) Attempted forward search with "shift-command-click" and backward search with "Show in Viewer (pdfsync)". Interestingly, the .pdfsync file, which is full of numbers that describe the document geometry, is created in the current directory... my understanding is these numbers are what is used to locate one's position in forward and backward search. But the functionality is certainly missing. (Note: I am trying to run all these programs on a PowerPC-based Powerbook G4.) Any assistance in resolving this issue would be GREATLY appreciated. I have scoured the internet and discussion groups in search of an answer, but I cannot seem to fix this error. Thanks in advance, Yaniv

LaTeX Syntax coloring problem

by Kai von Fintel

The minimal test case below shows that something in the parsing of the newenvironment command is throwing off the syntax coloring by the LaTeX bundle, at least on my system (TM 1.5.7 1464 on Leopard). The text in the document is incorrectly parsed as being in a math environment. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \newenvironment{choice} {\left\lbrace\begin{gathered}} {\end{gathered}\right\rbrace} \begin{document} Text incorrectly parsed as being in a math environment. \end{document} ----- Any ideas of how to fix the parsing? -- Kai von Fintel fintel(a)gmail.com

New project with current file?

by Kevin Horton

If I have a single file open, is there an easy way to create a new project with an existing file + the current file? I was hoping to find a menu item, or key combination that will give a file dialog to select new file(s) that would be added to a new project that includes the current file. -- Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada
