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.
Thanks,

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.
Hi All,
Been a bit busy at work today, but the list is updated now. So far we
have:

Java
JavaScript
Mono/C# (now updated with compile output support thanks to Jan Sabbe).
OCaml
PHP Smarty
Python

Have a nice day!
Yours,
Ian.

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?

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:

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?
Hi,
Are there any known issues with TM and saving files that needs
authorization to view/edit?
I opended /etc/hosts with sudo from the cmdline, and TM doesn't seem
to want to save the changes, no error, it just remains unsaved.

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.
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.

hi,
Just starting using RubyonRails....and each time i create a project i
want to modify .htaccess to enable mod_ruby....and it's not possible.
would be cool if the contextual menu of the drawer propose a 'toggle
invisible file view' item or something like that
thanks...
textmate is really the best 40$ i ever spent
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
