I found the single pixel cursor rather difficult to see with a black background (even though I've edited the bundle for Ruby now). I'd like to see an option to use a block cursor.

[TextMate] Latex, python and TAB behaviour

by profprof＠mac.com

I have just downloaded textmate and I looks like a very promising editor. I hope to be able to use it soon! I would very much like to see an environment for both latex and python. Those two environments are those I am in most of the time. I am sure that I not alone. Also, to me the tab behaviour of Emacs (where you can press tab anywhere on a line to align the content of the line) is a big plus when programming. It helps structure back the code rapidly. This feature would be part of a more global automatic formatting for programs but at least it is almost essential. This being said, you are doing an excellent work! Congratulations and I look forward to your next version which might include these features.

[TextMate] Syntax coloring and "/"

by Jim Menard

When editing Ruby code, everything after the first "/" in code turns yellow. For example, in the code class Foo def bletch(num) @foo = num / 12 end end everything from the "/" to the end of the file is yellow. Is this a known issue? What can I do to fix it? Jim -- Jim Menard, jimm(a)io.com, http://www.io.com/~jimm "...it uses Smalltalk, rather than modern-day kludges such as Java, which resembles a modern object-orientated environment in the way that a pub ashtray resembles a cigar store." -- Andrew Orlowski, "Forgotten language enables nonstop gadgets", The Reg

[TextMate] Love for Textmate, and some thoughts/observations

by Raena Armitage

Hey, Thanks for a really neat product. I'm still messing about with it, but I think it's a keeper. I've noticed some things, though -- Odd help behaviour: the tooltip that appears when you hover over the Commands textarea says that you can use the purple help icon to get a full list of TextMate's exported variables, but that just goes to the Commands reference page instead. There's a small link to the list of variables, sure, but maybe the list of variables belongs on that page too? (or it should link there as advertised, instead?) Also, why does selecting Help *from the Help menu,* while the commands window is open, mean that it goes to that page? I understand that context is cool, but I expect to find that choosing '(AppName) Help' from the Help menu would take me to the app's help index page. Second: the whole dealie about the preferences window has been discussed, it seems, but it's also something I miss. While there's nothing that really *has* to be in a preference window, it seems logical to me that per-document options ought to be kept well away from the permanent ones. Third, I'm not sure if it's my own font problems or not, but I've never noticed it any other place -- when I'm using any bitmap font the first character in a line has a larger gap between it and the next character. You can see this in action here: <http://www.raena.net/images/gappy.gif> Fourth, why is Page Up and Down moving the insertion point? Can one change that at all? And finally, I'm not really concerned with (s)ftp support myself since I prefer to use Transmit, but does anyone know how i can tell Transmit to make TextMate available in its list of external editors? Can that be done at all?

[TextMate] Working with multiple screens

by Drew McLellan

I usually work with an additional monitor plugged into my Powerbook at home, but not at work. If I accidentally leave anything open on the external monitor before disconnecting everything, on restoring the affected application the window is pulled onto screen. That is to say, if at any time the desktop area is reduced, windows readjust their position so not to be lost. TextMate doesn't seem to be doing this. I connected up my external monitor this evening to find a window that had been 'lost' all day! drew.

[TextMate] Function list?

by Chris Jenkins

Does anyone know if it would be possible to use the various extensions within TextMate to provide a navigable list of functions within a class file? A bit like the one BBEdit or SubEthaEdit has. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

[TextMate] Feedback and feature requests

by Kevin Hunt

Hey Allan & David, First, thanks for filling a major void in OSX land. I've been using UltraEdit on Windows for several years until I bought a Powerbook in August. I love everything about OSX except the lack of a solid (and reasonably priced) text editor. Thanks to ditto, I think I found one. So far I'm pleased with TextMate, though I haven't been able to use it much. The single biggest problem I've found so far is that it seems to load files entirely into memory. Try loading a 100MB enterprise server log in TextMate and you'll see it die while consuming megabyte after megabyte of memory. UltraEdit by contrast only loads what it needs into memory, making it very very fast while viewing and manipulating large files. UltraEdit handles GB-size files without breaking a sweat. I think the only complication around that is line numbering becomes slightly more involved. The second feature I'm looking for is a hex view/edit/search&replace. Being able to locate and fix an invalid UTF-8 character sequence inside an XML file that is causing my application to bomb has proven to be a critical feature. Hex search&replace comes in handy when I need to remove all 0x00 characters from a file, for example. Finally -- and this should be the easy one -- please add a "count" button to the search window. Often I want to count the occurrences of a certain error message in a log, or see how many things I'm about to change by search&replace. That's it (for now ;) Keep up the good work! Thanks, Kevin Hunt
