Greetings, It seems like people are starting to go hog wild creating TM bundles, so I have started a (currently very crude) bundle editor for TextMate last night, which looks like this: (note: this is not a Photoshop mockup, it's an actual screenshot of a running Cocoa application ;) ). If you guys think that this kind of tool would be useful until Allan and friends come up with an integrated bundle editor, let me know. Allan and friends, if you have something like this up your sleeves that you are ready to ship, like, in 2 weeks, let me know as well ;) -- Luc Heinrich - lucsky(a)mac.com - http://www.honk-honk.com

[TextMate] [ANN] Mono Bundle Updated

by Ian Phillips

As well as jumping to the correct line in files when there's a compilation error, it now does the same with NAnt builds (for the csc task at least). Also included now: Selective builds: in your nant.build file highlight a target and it will be built, this uses the $TM_CURRENT_WORD variable, if nothing's selected it will try to build "all" as before. Build File syntax highlighting. Enjoy, Ian. #ifndef __COMMON_SENSE__ | Ian Phillips #include <std_disclaimer> | http://ianp.org #endif

[TextMate] Page for contributed stuff?

by Merlin Mann

Hey, This might have come up already, but I think it would helpful to have a single page that collects (or at least points to) all the available add-ons folks have put together for TextMate, such as bundles, syntaxes, snippets, and so on. A two-line summary of what it does (with screenshots where possible) would also be great. I agree that the power of TextMate comes from unlocking its _insane_ amount of configurability. But, I also suspect that some of the nay-sayers--especially those less experienced with the power of a shell--would be much more inspired if they saw what they could *do* with TM (without having to build the actual widgets themselves). For inspiration, I think Alcor has done a nice job with [Quicksilver's plug-in page][1], which folks can sort by alpha, popularity, or update freshness. Best of all, users can click to install any of the plug-ins right from that page. Takes a lot of the mystery out of the process. Just one data point. If ya'all need help with bandwidth or what have you, please let me know how I can pitch in. I am, as the kids say, a fan.

[TextMate] Custom Selection/Caret with Syntax Coloring

by Craig Davey

Hi It would be excellent if one could set a custom selection color in syntax plists. I was rather excited to see the feature under View: Show Color Settings, but unimpressed that it was not used when syntax coloring was enabled. Might there be an undocumented property to set it in a syntax file? - craig davey

[TextMate] folding bug? (or: help me make this work!)

by Brian Lalor

I'm trying to work out a couple of bugs in my XML syntax. I may have uncovered a bug in the folding code, or I may just be suffering from regexp brainfade... What I was originally trying to accomplish was two types of folding. I wanted the following to fold up: (begin) <foo> <bar /> (end) </foo> ... and I also wanted this to fold: (begin) <foo key="value" (end) key1="value" /> The latter would ideally fold to <foo key="value"(...) Am I correct in believing that this second form can't be accomplished with the simple folding marker regexps available now? The help doc says that it expects the end folding marker to be on the same indent level as the start folding marker, and the second form definitely is not. Now, for the part that may be a bug: I haven't found a regexp that will make TM *ignore* the abbreviated (but multi-line) XML element above (the 2nd one). Perhaps this is all well and good, except that TM seems to rather arbitrarily match the would-be end tag for the shortened element. I'll annotate the screenshot below: Line 62 starts one of those singleton elements. Note that there is no closing tag, but at line 67, another element begins as the same indent level. In the current state, if I use the folding start button in the gutter at line 62, TM folds the document to line 72 (the end of the first </target> text). If I fold the "clean" target (lines 67 to 71) and then fold the <target> at line 62, TM folds all the way to line 92. It seems to me that TM should stop searching for a match if a new start fold marker is discovered at the same indent level. Is that correct, or are my regexps just more sloppy than I thought they were? :-) -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

[TextMate] HTML attributes coloring?

by bongoman

Is it open to me to set HTML attributes to have a different color to the tag itself? I'm aware that I can edit the relevant file in the Bundles directory to configure my syntax coloring but recall reading something somewhere that this was not possible as yet re attributes & tags.

[TextMate] quickie Perl syntax coloring

by Eric Hsu

Hi folks, I wanted to try TM for Perl programming, so I whipped up a quickie syntax coloring bundle, available at <http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate>. You might not like my subtle colors. Feel free to change them for yourself. I'm certain this work can be improved. If you do modify it, I'd appreciate your sending me the improved copy! best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

[TextMate] [Tip] Embed selection in tag, lookup PHP functions

by Allan Odgaard

James A. Baker asked me for a BBEdit feature where the selection is wrapped in a tag, which you pick from a list of tags. But then his stream of thoughts derived the following TextMate solution, which I think was very neat: Create this snippet, name it _wtag: <${2:tt}>$1</${2:tt}>$0 Then select Start Macro Recording and type: cmd-x, _wtag, tab, cmd-v, tab, stop recording, save it for later. Now you have a macro which wraps the current selection inside a tag pair (the default tag name is tt, but you can change it). Press tab again after having typed the name to leave the snippet. Another neat trick I saw on a blog (but unfortunately lost the reference) was a command configured to do: open http://php.net/$TM_CURRENT_WORD So simple, and yet so powerful (it looks up the word under the caret in the PHP reference documentation). It's really fantastic to see this end-user innovation, keep it up! :) Kind regards Allan

[TextMate] Unsubscribe from this list?

by Guan Yang

Has anyone successfully unsubscribed from this list? When I hit either the "password reminder" or "unsubscribe" button in the Mailman web interface, I don't get any email from the Mailman. But he's happy enough to deliver the list messages. Guan

[TextMate] Praise and Comments

by Rich Barton

Just thought I'd chime in with my experiences of using TM over the last couple of days. Firstly, may I heap lavish praise on the developer(s). The live-updating project drawer (despite its shortcomings, below) is fantastic, and the Esc autocomplete is nothing short of magic. How does it *always* seem to guess the right completion for a given start string out of many possibilities? Regardless, this has made coding a lot less laborious. The snippet and macro features are also great time savers. But enough of the praise, here's my comments and suggestions :-) * I rarely want to view the ASCII version of an image file. How about a preview of the image in the editor pane instead? * Whilst speed is generally not an issue, there is an annoying 2-4 second delay (i.e. spinning beach-ball) when switching to TM when I've got an (open) project located on an SMB share. * By default, TM requires a lot of keyboard mashing for relatively common commands. For instance, I see no reason why the Command + Option + Control + D for toggling the project drawer can't simply be Command + D (in fact, I've hacked this myself in IB and it works fine) * How about a split view (i.e. the ability to see different sections of the same document at once)? * TM doesn't seem to remember the window scroll position if you do the following: open a document (that scrolls), and scroll down without changing the insertion point. Switch to another document/tab. Switch back. The window scroll position is back to its original position, and is no longer at the section of text I was looking at. * When searching within a document for a string located "below the fold", the matching string barely creeps "above the fold", i.e. is bottom aligned relative to the window. This makes it harder to see the match in context. I prefer the behaviour (which I believe BBEdit exhibits) whereby the matching string is centred vertically in the window, making it easier to spot and put in context. * How about being able to create a "real" folder (as opposed to a group) in the project draw? * I would like the group name to be selected and editable immediately after its creation, à la "New Folder" in the Finder * The Shift Left/Shift Right commands exhibit weird behaviour. I expect them to work like Command + [ and Command + ] in BBEdit or SubEthaEdit, but they don't. (Sorry for the vagueness. It's easier for you to see it yourself than for me to describe how.) Overall, I like the direction TextMate is going in. Regards, Rich Barton
