Hi Allan, Is there any way to display the HTML output window on the right side of the window instead of the bottom? When using TM2 on a wide monitor, the screen estate is relatively limited in the vertical dimension than the horizontal dimension. Thanks -- Chris

TM2: opening a collection of files with mate command

by Stephen Bannasch

Here's a pattern I've often used in TM1 -- that doesn't work as well in TM2. I've got a big project and want to either easily browse just a subset of files or I'm doing some complicated refactoring with regexes etc and dealing with just a subset would make my work much less error prone. I use the grep replacement ack to find files meeting some criteria and pipe this list with xargs to the mate command. The files appear in mate in the project drawer and are easily browsable and searchable as a set. Here's an example where I want to work with only the files from the src/ dir in my project that have the string 'cursor' (there's a generated dist/ dir tree that ALSO has many files with the string 'cursor' in them but I don't want to deal with those files): $ ack -l cursor src src/examples/complex-atoms-model/application.sass src/examples/components/components.sass src/examples/examples.sass src/examples/lennard-jones-potential/lennard-jones-potential.js src/examples/simple-atoms-model/application.sass src/examples/simple-atoms-model-controls-in-text/application.sass src/examples/simplemolecules/simplemolecules.sass src/index.sass src/lab/css/components.sass src/lab/grapher/samples/cities-sample.js src/lab/grapher/samples/lennard-jones-sample.js src/lab/grapher/samples/sample-graph.js src/lab/grapher/samples/simple-graph2.js src/lab/grapher/samples/surface-temperature-sample.js src/lab/graphx/graphx.js src/lab/layout/fullscreen.js src/lab/layout/potential-chart.js src/tests/two-graphs/index.html Load those files in both TM2 and TM1: $ ack -l cursor src | xargs mate $ ack -l cursor src | xargs mate1 In TM1 the files appear in the project drawer and the project search for cursor gives me all the locations in this collection of files. However in TM2 the files do NOT appear in the project drawer (they are instead all opened as separate tabbed windows) and are not searchable as a collection. Here's a screenshot caompring the two TM versions and the results of a search for files with the string 'cursor': https://img.skitch.com/20120222-t6xxnk342b6wsgwjeh1ckyykmf.jpg I'd like an arbitrary collection of files passed to TM2 via the mate command to be represented and searchable as a collection.

$TM_SUPPORT_PATH

by Jonas Zimmermann

Hi, I have a question regarding $TM_SUPPORT_PATH. If I understand the manual correctly, checking out the support folder to /Library/Application Support/TextMate should automatically update $TM_SUPPORT_PATH. However, even after a restart of TextMate, it points to /Applications/Textkram/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support. I'm using 1.5.10 (1631). Any hints? Thanks, Jonas

TM2: moving text adds whitespace

by Rob McBroom

I move text around pretty frequently using ⌃⌘[arrow keys]. There are various scenarios where moving text this way in TM2 causes the selection to expand, with whitespace inserted to the left. (Very easy to reproduce in code with different indentation levels.) Is this known/intended? Is there a setting I’m missing that will stop it from happening? If it’s intentional, let me say that I don’t see a use case for altering my selection simply because I moved it. :-) If the user is trying to move text out beyond the existing end of the line, I could see adding whitespace to make it work, but even then it should be added *outside* the selection without altering it, right? -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>

Find/Replace in Folder

by Curt Sellmer

When performing a find in folder and then replacing all of the matches with new content, how can I save all of the files. If I select 'Save All' from the menu the files are not saved. The only way I have found so far is to press the <Next> button on the find dialog which then warns me that the files have not be saved and provides a button to do so. Is there a more direct way to save these changes? Curt

language definition - multiple folding marker possible?

by Martin Batholdy

Hi, I would like to have more than one pattern which will be recognized for folding blocks in a language definition. Is this possible? for example, I have this regular expression in a language definition for one bundle: foldingStartMarker = '^[^#]*($[^$]*$|\{\s*$)'; foldingStopMarker = '(^\s*\)|^\s*\})'; can I add a pattern, so that I have multiple markers that signal a block? I tried; foldingStartMarker = ('first block definition', 'second block definition'); foldingStopMarker = ('first block definition', 'second block definition'); but that doesn't seem to work.

Language grammar problems

by Curt Sellmer

I have the following language grammar defined for Java Properties files. This grammar works as expected in TM-1, however, there are two separate problems when using this grammar with TM-2. 1. The end capture for a 'Property Definition' does not properly skip a newline preceded by a backslash and thus does not recognize continued lines. 2. The pattern '\{\d+\}' is not being recognized to set the 'entity.name.variable.java-props' scope. This pattern does match properly in a simple grammar where it is the only pattern however. (This pattern is not part of java properties but I'm using the property files to store strings that will be used with the java.text formatters.) Perhaps there is a better way to describe this grammar, I'm no expert. But since it does work correctly in TM-1 I wanted to report it as potential defects in TM-2. Thanks, Curt { scopeName = 'source.java-props'; fileTypes = ( 'properties' ); patterns = ( { name = 'comment.line.number-sign.java-props'; match = '^\s*([#!])(.+)?$\n?'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.comment.java-props'; }; }; }, { comment = 'Empty Property Definition'; match = '^\s*((?:\\:|\\=|[^:=\s])+)\s*([:=])\s*$'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.other.java-props'; }; 2 = { name = 'punctuation.separator.key-value.java-props'; }; }; }, { comment = 'Property Definition'; begin = '^\s*((?:\\:|\\=|[^:=\s])+)\s*([:=])\s*'; end = '(?<!\\{1})$\n?'; beginCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.other.java-props'; }; 2 = { name = 'punctuation.separator.key-value.java-props'; }; }; patterns = ( { name = 'entity.name.variable.java-props'; match = '\{\d+\}'; }, { comment = 'Leading space on a continued line is ignored'; match = '^\s*'; }, { name = 'punctuation.separator.continuation.java-props'; match = '(\\)(?=$\n)'; }, { name = 'constant.character.escape.java-props'; match = '\\(?:[\\nt\"'']|u[0-9A-Fa-f]{4})'; }, { name = 'invalid.illegal.character.escape.java-props'; match = '\\.'; }, { name = 'string.java-props'; match = '.'; }, ); }, { comment = 'Ignore blank lines'; match = '^\s*$'; }, { name = 'invalid.illegal.java-props'; comment = 'Anything else is illegal'; match = '.*'; }, ); }

TM2: missing 'Convert Tabs to Spaces'

by Stephen Bannasch

The Text menu in TM2 is missing the functions: 'Convert Tabs to Spaces' and 'Convert Spaces to Tabs'. I looked but couldn't find the functionality elsewhere.
