While the File -> Open... dialogue has a button to show hidden files, the File -> Save seems to have no obvious way to save a file to a hidden directory. I was creating an environment.plist file to save in ~/.MacOSX --- my immediate work around was to save the file to the Desktop and use Finder to move the file to .MacOSX --- I have set Finder to show all files using either the defaults command or TinkerTool. A search of the mailing list indicates that Cmd-Shift-G opens a sub dialogue box to the File -> Save dialogue that allows you to type the name of the directory directly but that would seem hard to discover. Is there a preference in Textmate that modifies the File -> Save dialogue to show hidden files ? Phil Molyneux

Taskmate bundle ready for review

by Sven Fuchs

Dear TextMate gods, dear everybody else :) I've been notified that my my Taskmate bundle has been added to the review directory: http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/Taskmate.tmbundle Since the first announcement to this list quite some work has been done on this bundle. We've been able to track down some bugs, added some new features and tweaked everything according to the great feedback of both Michael Sheet and early adopting users. I've put together a list of the changes in the changelog: http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/Taskmate.tmbundle/CH… Even at this early stage I'd like to say thank you to Michael for doing an amazing job as a review gatekeeper and Nigel Green, who attentively tested every single move I made, provided lots of feedback and additional code as well as even a complete help file. Now we are eagerly awaiting to get bashed down by you folks for any glitches and mistakes in order to make this bundle even better :) Thanks! PS: For information about what Taskmate does please refer to the bundled help file or the project page at http://www.artweb-design.de/projects/taskmate -- sven fuchs svenfuchs(a)artweb-design.de artweb design http://www.artweb-design.de grünberger 65 + 49 (0) 30 - 47 98 69 96 (phone) d-10245 berlin + 49 (0) 171 - 35 20 38 4 (mobile)

Ruby 1.9

by Jeff LaMarche

Greetings all. Been using TextMate for quite some time, but never had a problem before now. Allan Odgaard suggested I post this to the list. I installed Ruby 1.9 this morning by doing a source install from the release tarball. I had to manually update the readline library and I also had to change my path so that /usr/local/lib is read before /usr/ lib because of the libreadline.dylib that is contained there. I can run Ruby 1.9 programs from the command line just fine, but if I try to use command-R to run them from inside TextMate, I get: ------------------ BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ scriptmate.rb:4:in `require': /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:40: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' (SyntaxError) when 1: lines.each { |line| block.call(line) } ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/ Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:41: syntax error, unexpected keyword_when, expecting keyword_end when 2: lines.each { |line| block.call(line, name) } ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:47: syntax error, unexpected keyword_elsif, expecting keyword_end elsif sync? ^ /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:49: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' when 1: block.call(data) ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:50: syntax error, unexpected keyword_when, expecting keyword_end when 2: block.call(data, name) ^ / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb: 60: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' when 1: leftovers.each_pair { |name,... ^ /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:61: syntax error, unexpected keyword_when, expecting keyword_end when 2: leftovers.each_pair { |na... ^ /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/io.rb:67: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting $end from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Support/lib/scriptmate.rb:4:in `' from /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tmbundle/Support/ RubyMate/run_script.rb:1:in `require' from /Applications/TextMate.app/ Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Ruby.tmbundle/Support/RubyMate/ run_script.rb:1:in `' ------------------ END ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- I also get errors running a shell script, but not quite the same, and it does then proceed to run the script after dumping the error message, unlike with the Ruby script: ------------------ BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- (erb):29:in `concat': character encodings differ (ArgumentError) from (erb):29:in `html_head' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/erb.rb:743:in `eval' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/erb.rb:743:in `result' from / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ web_preview.rb:116:in `html_head' from -:4:in `' Hello World Program exited with status 0. ------------------ END ERROR MESSAGE ----------------- As I said, I'm still able to run Ruby code from the command line, but it's obviously less convenient, so I was hoping somebody might have an idea what's going on. I'm still running Tiger and am on the latest version of TextMate (Version 1.5.7 (1436)). Any thoughts, information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff LaMarche

PHP docblock folding

by REBELinBLUE

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't seem to be able to fold PHP docblocks when they are like /** * */ even though the top fold arrow is shown (but the bottom isn't) only when they are /** * */ however the code completion features such as doc<tab> and /**<tab> generate the first block Does anyone know how to fix it so that the first type of docblock folds correctly? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PHP-docblock-folding-tp14475232p14475232.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

A fix for Move Selection Line Up/Down and suggestions for TextMate

by Сергей Яковлев

[REPOSTING BECAUSE OF BAD FORMATTING] Hi! A well-known problem with Move Selection Line Up/Down commands (Control-Command-Up/Down) is that if you use them without selection (which means "move current line"), the cursor ends up in the wrong place. This has been bugging me and my friends for quite some time, so I wrote a fix. It's two macros overriding default key equivalents, which you can find attached to the bug description at http://macromates.com/ticket/show?ticket_id=58C52785 . Please tell if this works for you. Also, is it possible to put this fix into some standard TextMate bundle like Text.tmbundle, so that all TextMate users enjoy it? (Until it is fixed in the new engine of TextMate 2.) What is the best way to do it? This is my first experience in TextMate programming, and several times I've been stuck in various dead-ends. What follows is a somewhat long description of how I approached the problem along with some suggestions on making TextMate easier to program. Most people would like to skip this. So, my first (rather silly) attempt was a huge Ruby program which replicated functionality of Move Selection Line Up/Down and depended on my assumption that the cursor is always at the end of selection (potentially allowing me to calculate all the necessary offsets in the file). Well, it turned out that my assumption was simply not true, as the cursor can be anywhere inside the selection, depending on how you've selected the text. Suggestion 1. It would be useful if TextMate had variables like $TM_SELECTION_START and $TM_SELECTION_END which would return the corresponding offsets in the file (or the cursor offset, if nothing is selected). On a second attempt, I decided that I should instead go with the built-in commands, simply correcting the cursor position for the special case when nothing is selected. So we remember current cursor position, call Move Selection Line Up/Down, and move the cursor back to remembered position if nothing is selected. There are two problems here. First, you can only call built-in commands from macros, and it is not possible to remember values through the steps of a macro. Second, there is no direct way to reposition the cursor. One indirect way to achieve this is to insert a snippet with a $0 variable. However, to move the cursor to arbitrary position in this fashion, we need an output option like "Replace Document as Snippet", which is not available. Because of these two problems, I decided to use TMTOOLS plugin, which has "call macro" (for calling arbitrary macros and built-in commands from commands) and "set caretTo" (for setting the cursor position). I got a working solution, but it had a delay of 0.5 to 1 s, which was too slow to be useful. Suggestion 2. Add a way to set "global" environment variables programmatically (from commands). These "global" variables should be available to all subsequently called commands (and other bundle items) until explicitly unset. Suggestion 3. Replace output options "Insert as Text" and "Insert as Snippet" with just one option, "Insert", and add a checkbox "as Snippet" to the right. This would add such useful options as "Replace Selected Text as Snippet", "Replace Document as Snippet" and "Create New Document as Snippet" without making the list of options too long. So, on a third (and final) attempt, I dropped TMTOOLS and returned to the idea of a macro. Inspired by Duane Johnson's solution for multiple insertion points, I decided to use a special symbol (mark) to "remember" the initial position of the cursor. So we insert the mark at the cursor (if nothing is selected), call Move Selection Line Up/Down, and replace the mark with empty string (if nothing is selected), which moves the cursor there as a side-effect. The problem here is that Replace command always replaces current selection with replace buffer, even if it doesn't match the find buffer, which ruins the case when something has already been selected in the beginning. Replace All also ruins current selection, moving the cursor to the beginning of the file even if it has not found any matches. Fortunately, the Find Next/Previous command will only change current selection if the match has been found. So that's what we use. If there is a mark in the text, it will get selected, otherwise, the selection won't change. Finally, the selection is replaced with an empty string if what's selected is a mark. The wrong cursor position after Move Selection Line Up/Down is always further in text than the right position (actually, it's on the next line), so we use Find Previous command to perform the search. Because of this little detail, the solution is actually pretty fast. Suggestion 4. Replace All should not alter current selection if no matches are found. The only remaining question is what symbol to use as a mark. I decided to use √ (221A, SQUARE ROOT character, which you can type with Option-V), but I'm not sure this is the best choice. Maybe it's better to use some character from Private Use Area (E000--F8FF)? Best regards, Sergei Yakovlev

PHPDoc scope syntax coloring?

by Clark Endrizzi

Hi all, I am pretty new to textmate and would like to know if it's possible to change the color of PHPdoc comments from normal comments. I've noticed since using a lot of PHPDoc stuff in my code that it looks more confusing than ever. Being able to change the color would help in making things more readable. I noticed there was a thread in 2006 that discussed this but it did not help me. Also, I tried setting the scope of "comment.documentation" in hopes that it my be the correct scope with no luck (it doesn't seem to match the scope or something because nothing changes even after restarting textmate). Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks, Clark Endrizzi

Importing Markdown posts to WordPress

by Dr. Drang

I apologize for being off-topic, but I think there's more expertise on this list than I'll find elsewhere. I'm thinking about moving my blog from Movable Type 3.2 to WordPress. As a test, I've set up a local WP installation and imported my old posts--all of which are written in Markdown. They look awful, primarily because the blocks of source code in many of my posts are not being imported properly. Here is what I've done: 1. Exported the MT 3.2 posts using MT's builtin export command. 2. Installed WP and the PHP-MarkdownExtra plugin. Activated the plugin. 3. Imported into WP the text file that came out of the MT export process. The biggest problem seems to be that WP isn't recognizing the Markdown formatting of the exported posts. What should be enclosed by <pre><code>...</code></pre> are enclosed by simple paragraph tags instead. Has anyone here experienced and solved this problem? -- Dr. Drang

[XML] block folding bug

by Sergei Yakovlev

Hi! In XML bundle, the block doesn't fold properly if the closing tag is not on a separate line. Example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <document> <page>This tag block doesn't fold properly. It folds as if '/document' tag closes it. The closing tag is on the same line.</page> <page>This tag block folds properly. The closing tag is on a separate line. </page> </document> Cheers, Sergei Yakovlev

Subversion bundle no longer uploading to repository for commits

by Daryl Manning

This is a strange one. The other day my Subversion commits have suddenly stopped working in terms of uploading to the repository. I ctrl-shift-A, use the commit and get the window for commiting the files I've highlighted and the -m message window. Enter a message... All good. When I hit Commit however, I get the Subversion Commit - "Transmitting File data" window and the barber pole but the window never comes back with either a dialogue box for the password for the user or anything at all. I end up having to quite Textmate in order to kill it and then doing a command line svn cleanup on the files that I was trying to upload. Handling svn through the command line with svn ci file.rhtml -m "blah de blah" works fine however. Does anyone have any idea of what may be causing this and how to correct it ? I've gotten so used to the svn budle it's really cramping my style now... thanks ! Daryl. PS> OSX 10.4.11, Textmate Version 1.5.7 (1436), svn, version 1.4.5 (r25188)
