Hi all I recently posted asking how to align code at <- . For example, I would want these two lines of code foo <- test fooFooFoo <- test To look like foo <- test fooFooFoo <- test Somebody suggestted installing the align bundle and using the keyboard shortcut CMD + CONTROL + 9. I've trice this but unfortunately it doesn't run and throws a message box saying 'Failure running Align Source'. Can anyone come up with a hacky way of aligning code at <- ? Ross

suggestion

by Yvon Thoraval

suppose i want to report a variable state in NodeJS and/or JavaScript, for example: console.log("myvar['"+property+"'] = "+myvar[property]); because I'm a lazy guy, i want only to enter "myvar[property]", apart from console.log. at start, i would enter : console.log(myvar[property]); then copy/paste "myvar[property]" : console.log(myvar[property]myvar[property]); adding " = +": console.log(myvar[property] = myvar[property]); then surrounding "myvar[property] = " by '"': console.log("myvar[property] = "+myvar[property]); i want to see the property value in the "left" hand side, then i sourround "property" by '"': console.log("myvar["property"] = "+myvar[property]); here is my suggestion, could it be possible by selecting "property" to add two "+" signs on each side of "property" in order to make it : console.log("myvar["+property+"] = "+myvar[property]); could that last step be implemanted in TextMate ? -- Yvon(a)48.871651804,2.384858688

"Find in open files" not available + Associate file type

by Rasmus Malver

Hi all, When trying to search a folder of .nib-files, I ran into a few problems. The files are nicely displayed in TextMate, but I cannot search the contents of the files. Whilst trying to work around it, I ran into two problems: 1. *Find > In > Open Files not available* I opened the lot to use Find > In > Open Files, but this option is unavailable. Screenshot below. I tried opening .txt-files, and I tried creating new files, but it remains unavailable. Is this function available to anybody? 2. *Add file-type to TextMate* To facilitate the opening of said files in Finder's context menu (open with), and to encourage TextMate to search their contents, I tried to associate them with TextMate. I failed. First I tried to add them via TextMate.app\Contents\Info.plist. This invalidated TextMate's code signing, and thus broke its connection with /Keychain Access/. Nor did it have the desired effect. Thus I reverted my actions, and tried to associate the file type via the bundle editor. I added "nib" to the Property List bundle, old style language grammar file types, reset the launch services database regarding TextMate and killed Finder. /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -f /Applications/TextMate.app/;killall Finder; No luck. TextMate still does not appear in "open with", and TextMate still refuses to search their contents. Does anyone have a tip on how to achieve this? By the way, to search the .nib-files, I renamed them to .txt, and chose Find in Folder. That worked. But it's a long way round. Thanks, Rasmus Malver TextMate Find in Open Files not available

adding a file icon

by Yvon Thoraval

Recently, I've added the Dart.tmbundle to TextMate 2. It works OK however I'd like adding a "Dart_file.icns" in order to get the right icon. I've added some lines in the Info.plist of TextMate 2, the Icon file into the Resources directory but nothing change. Then, what is the correct way to add a file icon into TextMate 2 ? Also, using applescript, i've found the identifier for *.dart files, it is part of archive file one terminating by -dart, strange... Before any trick the file icon was of a dmg one... -- Yvon(a)48.871651804,2.384858688

Language definition problem

by Gerd Knops

Hi, I am experimenting with embedding properties in Objective-C implementations that will be parsed out and placed into a header file, and that also include documentation. They are supposed to look like this: /*@property BOOL testProperty; Sample Property # Discussion This is documentation in Markdown syntax */ My custom Objective-C language definition includes this pattern: { name = 'meta.property.objc.embedded'; begin = '^(/\*)(?=\@property)'; end = '\*/'; beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'meta.comment.embedded-property.start'; }; }; endCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'meta.comment.embedded-property.end'; }; }; contentName = 'meta.scope.property.objc.embedded'; patterns = ( { name = 'meta.scope.property.def.objc.embedded'; begin = '(?=\@property)'; end = ';\s*\n?'; patterns = ( { include = 'source.objc#interface_innards'; } ); }, { name = 'meta.scope.property.doc.objc.embedded'; begin = '^'; end = '$\n'; // patterns = ( { include = 'text.html.markdown'; } ); }, ); }, That works fine, the /* and */ have the proper start/end scope, the documentation part has the doc scope etc. But as soon as I enabled the uncommented line that is supposed to highlight the embedded documentation with markdown, markdown gobbles up the end markers. Shouldn't the outer pattern prevent this? And if not, how can I make this work? Thanks Gerd

Annoying bug, restoring window from zoom after relaunching TM2

by Adam Strzelecki

There’s pretty annoying bug in TM2 regarding remembering default window frame. (1) Launch TM2 (2) Open new document & maximize window via (+) (3) Quit TM2 (4) Open it again (5) Open new document, it should be zoomed/maximized (6) Restore it via (+) Poof… where did it go? It is here in lower left corner of the screen with 0 content height :~( Can we have make TM2 remember regular window frame (not zoomed) and if window was zoomed? Cheers, -- Adam

Then in many cases, you don't need to create a per-»project« .tm_properties file. The .tm_properties files in nested directories apply in addition to defaults. For instance, you probably want to use different include/exclude rules in the directory where you're writing code for a numerical simulation than in the directory where you write the article in LaTeX with the associated findings. Allen made a conscious design decision to abandon project files and base the idea of projects just on filesystem hierarchy. In some ways, that makes TextMate 2 more powerful than TextMate 1.x, but other things (especially working with scattered files) has become more complicated because a folder is a »single project«. Personally, I haven't found a good way to recreate my TextMate 1.x workflow in TextMate 2 (symlinks don't mesh well with my LaTeX code and my git repositories). You probably have to adapt the way you organize your work. I have created a sensible master .tm_properties file and since I essentially only work with TeX-related files, shell scripts and markdown files, I don't really need to change them. Instead of symlinking, I just copy files and keep them in sync by hand if need be. Max

My home folder has many folders, many of which I'd like to have be in multi-folder projects. So ~/bin and ~/notes are a pair, while a second pair are ~/bank (receipts) and ~/config (a collection of configuration files used elsewhere) If I understand correctly, I'd have to have a .tm_properties file for each pair, not possible given the file hierarchy style of projects > Third, a work around would be to simply have a separate folder per > project, > > containing symbolic links (ln -s) to the folders I want in my project. > This is not a workaround, this is the expected way to handle projects. A-ha! OK, so I can make a TM folder that contains a folder for each of my TM projects, each of which in turn have symlinks to my actual folders?
