[TextMate] "Invisibles" - Feature request

by Mic Milic Frederickx

Hi, I've searched the documentation and the list archive for any mention of "invisibles", i.e. the ability to show tabs and spaces, a la BBEdit's "Show Invisibles" and "Show Spaces" or SubEthaEdit's "Show Invisible Characters". Now, maybe it's there, but I can't find it; in that case I'd appreciate a hint. If not, and since we're supposed to send feature requests to the list, that would be mine. Best, Mic

[TextMate] Mirror Typing in Snippets

by Ian Phillips

Can anybody get this to work? Is it not implemented yet or am I just screwing up? Ian. #ifndef __COMMON_SENSE__ | Ian Phillips #include <std_disclaimer> | http://ianp.org #endif

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

by Lucas K. Mathis

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 ??? A lot of people who spend the day writing on a Computer prefer dark backgrounds because for them it is less tiring. Dark text on white background works well on paper, because paper reflects light and doesn't emit it. A screen, however, emits light, which makes white really bright. I prefer dark backgrounds and find them more readable and a lot less tiring for the eye than bright backgrounds. lucas - -- "No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines greatness." -- Charles Kendall Adams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP SDK 3.2.2 iQA/AwUBQWVAErXYdom/dB2cEQKdlwCfVX4ysljltPmUtOZ/LKK4iPFBU+IAnAxE ZRSqSwv9Hgm01hqqihT5ohPE =9naC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[TextMate] Why a drawer?

by Oscar Sanchez Casamitjana

(pardon my english) Having seen the 'rails_setup.mov' I thought Textmate's interface would be more Xcode like, but I see that you finally opted for something more Mail.app like. I wonder why, I see the splitview metaphor more adequate for Textmate. OS

[TextMate] [Request] Find/Replace without dialog

by Gavin Kistner

Cmd-E to enter search string is a nice start. Cmd-Opt-E to enter replacement string. Cmd-... to replace and find next Cmd-... to replace all I use these commands more than almost any other when editing text. To have to use a dialog to enter the replacement string...to have to use the mouse to replace next...ouch. That's a big showstopper for me. Oh...and why does 'Ignore Case' get greyed out when you use regular expression (and yet maintain the state last set to, as though it's either locked on or off)? -- (-, /\ \/ / /\/

[TextMate] [ANN] PHP & Smarty Syntax coloring

by James Spahr

I've been having fun poking around Textmate. I spent today picking through the internals to create my own syntax coloring for PHP and Smarty. Smarty ( http://smarty.php.net/ ) is a templating system for PHP. http://www.spahr.org/share/PHP_Smarty.tmbundle.zip Anyone is welcome to download and modify at as they please. Of note : a complete php function list is included in the php syntax file. I'm quite please with the Smarty coloring, all html elements are in cool and muted tones, and all smarty template logic is in saturated and warm tones -- it's rather easy to see what's what. James.

[TextMate] Feature Request (and some thoughts on Preferences)

by Ian Phillips

How about this as a solution for preferences: 1. Move all of the preferences off the menus and into a separate (command-, invoked!) window. 2. Add a toolbar and allow most of the preference options to be added to it via the "customize..." option. This would allow users to make frequently changed preferences easily available, and it seems to be the method that a few other apps have chosen. And now for some feature requests: 1. Allow projects to define their own variables in the same way that you can with the defaults command line tool. This would be useful when setting up templates and snippets. 2. Add a separate "New" sub-menu, which bundles can contribute to, I see this working like the existing templates feature, but with parameters in a similar to snippets. Probably need to have the parameters configured in the property list that would go with the template file. 2a. An alternative to this would be to allow template property lists to specify a series of parameters that would be prompter for in a dialog before the file is created. E.g. { parameter = "1"; displayName = "Class Name"; defaultValue = "MyClass"; } 3. A minor UI tweak: have the encoding and line endings embedded in the status bar, this could either be a read-only display, or a combo-box to alter them. 4. Add a preference/option to show or hide white space characters (e.g. line endings, tabs, etc.). What do people think? Yours, Ian. #ifndef __COMMON_SENSE__ | Ian Phillips #include <std_disclaimer> | http://ianp.org #endif

[TextMate] Quote auto complete

by Rad Smith

I'm not sure if I'm using it right, but the quote auto completion seems to slow me down, as most of the time you need to add something after a quote, but I'm required to use the right arrow key to move over a character to go past the quote, which is a rather long distance compared to the quote key. Is there some trick I don't know about?

[TextMate] Re: Preferences window (was ProFont)

by Lucas K. Mathis

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 6.10.2004, space aliens observed Sune Foldager saying: >Good, argumentative reasons for it, please! :-). For me, it went something like this: "OK, now I want to change the background color of this window. That must be in Preferences. Uhm. No preferences in the app menu. Must be burried somewhere. Probably in Edit. Nope. Maybe in Window? Nah. Okay, so I'll go through each menu. Oh, Color Settings. Okay, but that only works with syntax highlighting disabled. That must mean that there are more settings somewhere else. I guess I just missed the Preferences. They *must* be in the app menu. Argh. Okay, "TextMate Help". What, you mean I can't change this?" Had all settings been inside a Preferences dialog, it would have been clear what the user can change and what he can't right from the beginning. Having preferences inside the menu has additional problems. It clutters the menu with things you use seldomly, which makes things you use more often (like actual commands) harder to find. And it makes it harder to find preferences, because it's often not clear where a given preference should go, and if you can't find it, you can't be sure whether you just missed it or whether it simply doesn't exist at all. A preferences window also gives you room for additional information about settings.
