Couple of questions regarding syntaxes: I'm working on modifying the HTML syntax to support JSP. I've created the following definition for comments; JSP and HTML comments are similar. JSP comments look like <%-- comment --%>. I can use a simple regexp to search for  ... or maybe ... <%-- --> --%> I've currently got the (not quite smart enough) pattern: { name = "Comments"; begin = "<[%!]--"; end = "--%?>"; foregroundColor = "red"; }, How is the "include" keyword supposed to work in a pattern? I've tried this: name = "Embedded Java"; backgroundColor = "#E5E5E5"; begin = "<%"; include = "Java"; end = "%>"; ... but that only highlights the background of the excursion, not the text within. I've created a Java bundle with "Java" defined in Syntaxes/Java.plist. -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor(a)bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/

[TextMate] Feature request: undo/redo

by Nick Hristov

I do not know if this has been mentioned before, but the undo/redo functionality needs improvements. What bothers me is that the undo functionality will "undo" stuff character-by-character, and not by block. I want block undos. Ideally, I would like to have more of a VIM-like undo functionality. You may wonder what would be defined as a "block undo"? One definition would be: any time when I type in text (or remote text with the backspace/delete) would be one block. When I move the mouse, or use the arrow keys, or use PGUP,PGDOWN, etc. the undo block would end. Nick

[TextMate] [Feature Request] Interarchy edit file over sftp

by Simon Dorfman

Interarchy supports ediiting files over sftp. It would make me überhappy is TestMate would support this feature. I asked the Interarchy developer what details you would need to know to make this work. He replied with the links to the info below. I know you intend to support editing files over sftp with TextMate in version 1.1, but I like Interarchy and adding compatability to work with Interarchy looks pretty simple. So pretty please with sugar on top, add this feature. :-D Thanks, Simon ------ Forwarded Message From: Peter N Lewis <peter(a)stairways.com.au> Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 10:06:08 +0800 To: Simon Dorfman <Simon(a)SimonDorfman.com> Subject: Re: Edit with...

The details are at: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html and Bare Bones' original specification is at: http://www.barebones.com/support/developer/odbsuite.html If they drop me a line when it is implemented we'll be happy to add TexMate to our list of possible editors.

[TextMate] Why is all the background colours dark ????

by Mats Persson

Hi all, I just downloaded the PHP & Smarty syntax bundle, and found that it too was based on a dark background. Can someone please explain this seeming 'obsession' with dark backgrounds when 99% of all other apps are the basic white background with black/coloured text ??? What is it that I don't get about it ??? (I personally find it very hard to read text that way.) Kind regards, Mats

[TextMate] feature request: better support for .textClipping files

by Jeff Ganyard

I hate .textClipping files, they are some kind of bastard implementation of a file. They really aren't terribly useable but they are easy to create and so show up far too often. I've never looked into the format but I don't understand why Apple didn't just make them txt or rtf files. Instead they created a specially functioning file that is not well supported. .textClipping files are supported as expected if you drag from the Finder to an open document in TextMate, i.e. the contents are inserted at the insertion point. Dropping a .textClipping file on TextMate's app icon opens a new empty window with the textClipping's name. Desired behavior would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the textClipping editable! Selecting a textClipping in the project drawer displays an empty window with the title set to the textClipping file's title. Desired behavior would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the textClipping editable. Dragging a textClipping file from a project window to the currently displayed document results in no change to the current document. Desired behavior is to insert the contents of the textClipping file at the insertion point, i.e. the same behavior as dragging from the Finder. thanks for listening!

[TextMate] javascript bundle

by Caio Chassot

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone's been working on js syntax highlighting. I derived one from the ruby file, but it's still a tad bit buggy. Perhaps we could join efforts? I'll post the bundle as soon as I get back to the mac.

RE: [TextMate] Q: Running a periodic shell script automatically

by Chilcote, Joe

>Given that TextMate is pretty good at piping output from shell >commands, would it not be possible to automagically generate a running >"TODO" list in a file using a command similar to this...? > `grep -r FIXME /Users/USERNAME/Sites/FooProject/` Merlin: You could pipe it to an external file. In the Filter Through Command window, choose "Document" and set it to "Show as tooltip" so it's non destructive to your current file, and run: grep -r FIXME >~/project/TODO; open -a /Applications/TextMate.app ~/project/TODO It will auto-generate and pop open for ya.

[TextMate] Q: Running a periodic shell script automatically

by Merlin Mann

I can't decide if this is a TextMate question or a GREP question, but here goes. Like a lot of people, I frequently use HTML comments like this to remind myself where known problems exist: > `` Given that TextMate is pretty good at piping output from shell commands, would it not be possible to automagically generate a running "TODO" list in a file using a command similar to this...? > `grep -r FIXME /Users/USERNAME/Sites/FooProject/` Is that sensible? And how might I set that up in a doc to refresh itself? Better as a separate shell script I'd call up somehow? Maybe better off as manual macro I run when I want updates? TIA. (Man, I'm just *loving* the possibilities of this app) mm -- Merlin Mann 43Folders.com

[TextMate] Folding Triangle Icon Suggestion

by Simon Dorfman

Hello, I'm just trying out TextMate and I very much like the feature for collapsing brackets. (I remember seeing a post on some mac blog about using OmniOutliner to write code just so a similar feature could be achieved. Anyway...) However, I have a suggestion. I have trouble distinguishing between the little triangle icons used on the left side. I was thinking adding color to them would make it much easier to see which is the top and bottom and which is collapsed. So I looked in the resources of the app and found the graphics files and tried changing them. The colors I chose are perhaps a bit much, but perhaps this post will inspire someone else (or the developers) to come up with a better color scheme. I went with a red-yellow-green stop-light color metaphor. Green is the top of an open triangle. Red is the bottom of an open triangle. And Yellow is a collapsed triangle. If that makes any sense... Basically, I changed these files: Folding Bottom Cap.png -> tint Red Folding Collapsed.png -> tint Yellow Folding Ellipsis.png -> tint Yellow Folding Top Cap.png -> tint Green I've attached a zip containing my newly tinted PNGs. I'm not sure if this mailing list will let attachments go through, but if it does, enjoy. Otherwise, I guess you'll have to tint 'em yourself. Simon in New Orleans
