Greetings,
Someone mentioned XCode top bars this morning (which I think is an
excellent idea, much better than my previous scroll bars adorners
attempt imho) when I was actually about to post updated mockups as well
:)
Here they are anyway:
I think it looks better than the bottom status bar, and it leaves room
(which was a valid concern) for possible additions, popups, buttons,
whatever.
It looks even better in the project window because it makes a better
separation between the tabs and the editing pane:
Thoughts ?
PS: question for the list moderators: what is the preferred method to
post screenshots on the list ? Attached pictures have to go through
moderator approval, which is obvious, so do you prefer URLs for example
?

Fellow TextMates,
Allan has added a nice little menu in 1.0.1 for the times when two or
more things 'clash' on the same keyboard shortcut (like commands)...
this then allowed us to 'stack' multiple similar commands (like search
engines) onto the one key command, like the 'help' key. which is very
cool.
So, I've added support for Dictionary.com, Google, Thesaurus.com,
Wikipedia, Yahoo in the default bundle, and PHP.net in the PHP bundle.
See screen grab attached. Basically, it pumps the current word into
your chosen search engine, and it works great!!
I'm looking for nominations for additional searches to be added to the
Default, PHP, HTML or CSS bundles... right now it doesn't appear we can
add W3.org sites, because there's no nice flat URL structure to work
off, and no focused search engine.
Feel free to also say "we don't need Yahoo", etc etc.
I'm thinking perhaps an amazon.com search would be a possibility, but
really I'm looking for any search-based technical references that could
be of help to the masses of TM users by feeding it the current word.
It's totally easy to add your own in 1.0.1 by the way :)

Ahoy there, textmateys:
I took the liberty of making some little web buttons/badges, for anyone
who'd like one. (Actually, I was really only thinking of myself, cause
I wanted to stick something on my weblog, but it's rude not to share.)

Hi,
I was wondering if it would be possible to create a new document from a
template without having to be in a project. Right now I've just got a
scratch project for this stuff, but I kind of like the way BBEdit will
let you make a 'New from template...' right there in the File menu.
thanks,
Raena
Hi Allan,
I've hit something that bother me a lot since I use Arch/tla[1] as version
control software. It has a feature where files are shared through hard links
in a revision library meaning that if across several changesets, a given file
doesn't change, it is stored only one time.
That requires that the editor one use to edit the file break hard links on
Save (i.e. creating the new file and renaming instead of save in-place). Emacs
does that by default and vim can be tweaked to do it too. I don't know what
BBEdit does because I've never used it outside the demo mode.
I've already bought TM because I think it is a great editor but to be able to
use it for all my developements, I need TM to behave like the above. The
default behaviour is breaking all revisions stored in the library :(
Thoughts, comments?

Nay, I can live with that. The file was cleaned up with tidy. Normally
I have indents.

Hi TextMate Users,
Consider the following codes:
<div>
...
<li>
...
</li>
...
</div>
When I try to fold the codes by clicking on <div>, it only folds to
</li>. To fold to </div>, I have to fold <li> and then fold <div>. Is
there anyway around that?

I can't think of a way to get folding to work for Python code. I
think it's because of the way folding is implemented in TextMate, so I
don't think it's possible, but I'm hoping someone can think of
something.
In Python, all blocks are delineated by indentation. So, here's a
couple of blocks:
if 1:
foo()
bar()
else:
fnord()
You'd want to be able to fold "if 1:" through "bar()" and be able to
fold "else:" through "fnord()". I can't think of any way to do this
with TextMate's folding implementation.
It's easy enough to set a foldingStartMarker -- any line ending with a
":" (simply speaking). But what foldingStopMarker? The "mark" is the
next line with the same indendation as the starting line, but that
line is *not* part of the fold. You want the fold to end before that
line.
I'm tearing my hair out over here. Can anyone think of a clever way
to do this? Am I missing something, or is this just impossible with
the current implementation?
Thanks to anyone for help!
1. For me, hitting `ESC` in a dialog box is not invoking the `Cancel`
button (works that way in most apps)
2. When the `Save` dialog box first comes up, I'd love it if _just_ the
pre-suffix name were selected. So on a new, blank document, it would
select "`untitled`" instead of all of "`untitled.txt`". Makes renaming
a lot faster.
(Is this the kind of thing that's appropriate here, or is there a
Bugzilla type thing where we should be posting bugs, whines, and pony
requests?) ;)
