lo there all, i am brand new to textmate. I love it ! My only issue is that when i am editing a project on a remote computer, i get a lot of spinning beach ball action while something is going on. From what i have found on google, it is checking to see if any files have changed. Now, i saw mention of a remote project plugin, but i could not find a way to download it. Has someone found a good solution for this ? I am working on a ruby on rails project on a remote server. thanks all, and great editor / IDE you have here.. shawn

How to select something in a document by using a macro/command?

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, Heureka! I found a way to select something - calculated on run-time - by using a normal macro (plus command) without TMTOOLS!! The problem was if I have a script which outputs a text chunk or a regexp how can we select that text/regexp in a TM window? The approach is actually very simple. I copy the text/regexp into the shared find pasteboard; place the caret to a proper location; and execute 'findNext'. Thus I wrote a tiny C program which copies a string into the shared find pasteboard. OK, then I wanted to write a man page for that command on basis of the normal pbcopy man page, and I figured out that pbcopy is already able to do this ;) Fine. The only problem was that if I write a tmcommand à la: echo -en "FINDTEXT" | pbcopy -pboard find it doesn't work because "pbcopy -pboard find" is called from inside of TM. If I execute that in a Terminal, switch back to TM it works. The solution: I have to execute this in a new bash environment. The basic tmcommand (example name "SELECTTEXT"): RESULT=$(A SCRIPT WHICH RETURNS A TEXT OR REGEXP) export RESULT /bin/bash -c 'echo -en "$RESULT" | pbcopy -pboard find' #place the caret to a proper location to be able to execute 'findNext'! open "txmt://open/?line=$LINE&column=$COLUMN" After executing that command the string $RESULT is in the shared find pasteboard, and the caret is set. Next step > the macro: Before we can execute 'findNext' (= APPLE+G) we have to set the parameters of the find panel, meaning whether we want to do a regexp search or not; ignore case or not. Thus record a macro à la: 1) open find panel, set the desired parameters, and do a dummy search for something which is NOT in the document -e.g. look for \xFFF3; and close it 2) execute the command "SELECTTEXT" 3) APPLE+G That's it. The nice side-effect is that the macro changes nothing within TM's find panel ;) And the macro does not affect the undo buffer, it does not change the text etc., and the selection is done instantly. But attention: The only tricky point : Be aware of correct escaping!! On that basis I wrote the "Select XML/HTML balanced tags" script which will come as soon as possible. I only have to fix some tiny things. Comments? Regards, --Hans

A TextMate command to open an arbitrary PDF file

by dzurn

I created a bundle command to open a file from a repository directory, based on the selected text. It was put in the Text bundle, with no particular context. Here's my current (working) command. open "file:///path/to/repository/volume/$TM_SELECTED_TEXT.pdf" This will open the PDF file with the selected filename. (I use open since I want to see the PDF in Acrobat, not TextMate.) However, now there's arbitrary (unknown) text attached to the filename, so I want to use a wildcard in this command. I got a suggestion to use an unquoted * as a wildcard. But if AAAA is selected, this command: open "file:///path/to/repository/$TM_SELECTED_TEXT"* will open a file in Textmate named AAAA*, which is not what I want: I want AAAA.pdf and AAAA-morestuff.pdf to open. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Darryl [I originally had this question attached as a comment to a TextMate blog entry, where Allen Odegaard posted the * wildcard suggestion, but it didn't work in this context.] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/A-TextMate-command-to-open-an-arbitrary-PDF-file-tf48… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Add Line Breaks

by Frank Eves

What is TextMate's equivalent to BBEdit's 'Add Line Breaks' Example: - TextMate Soft Wrap set to 66 characters - How do I Hard Wrap my document at 66 columns? Reformat Paragraph works, if I just want to reformat a few paragraphs, but I'm hoping there is a TextMate command that can be applied to the entire document and that won't reformat lines separated by a single return.

GTDAlt problem: some contexts 'stick' in the Current Actions window

by Bruno

Hi. GTDAlt has acquired an odd behaviour. I don't know why - it may be related to an install of the Safari 3 beta. Regardless, I haven't been able to debug, and would really appreciate any help. I choose 'Current Actions' and get my big list. I click 'none' for contexts, to clear the board and ready to select only one or two contexts. The checkboxes for the contexts ripple off, and the actions disappear -- until we get half-way down, when the actions don't move. Toggling the context checkboxes does nothing. I'm stuck with about half my actions permanently visible. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Even better, can anyone help? Like the previous poster, I've grown very attached to GTDAlt, and this is the core piece of functionality. Bruno

Find doesn't find

by Juan Falgueras

I don't understand why Find (regexp) doesn't find the text when using backslashes (it seems) it works when no \ are in the searched text. - Juan Falgueras

Introducing FTP/SSH Bundle

by Bernhard Fuerst

Dear list members, just want to introduce my approach to circumvent the sometimes missing build-in FTP/SSH functionality of TextMate. I created a bundle which provides commands to download and upload single files or files inside of TextMate projects from and to remote hosts. Read on if you are interested: http://fuerstnet.de/ftp-ssh-bundle-textmate I would be glad to get your feedback! Regards, Bernhard
