How to mark up variable length parameter lists?

by Timothy Bates

God Day all, What advice do people have for marking up a language grammar containing statements with a variable (and potentially lengthy) list of parameters, which are themselves morphologically complex? I saw here <http://macromates.com/blog/2005/language-grammars/>, the idea of using $self to re-parse the detected fragment using the whole language grammar { name = "markup.bold.html"; begin = "<b>"; end = "</b>"; patterns = ( // really means ³contains² { include = "$self"; } ); } And also the idea of using a repository of named rules to direct the second level of parsing. Are there bundles that use that and upon which which I could base my work ? The statements I want to match are of the form latentVar BY var var var var...; This should be parsed into <variable.latent> <keyword.BY> <variable.dv>... The tricky bit is that each variable has its own syntax and can appear n one of three forms name // <variable.name> name@n // <variable.name><keyword.at> <numeric.value> name*n // <variable.name><keyword.start> <numeric.value> So that each variable gets matched like this: \s+(\w+)(((a)|\*)([-\.\d]+))?\s+ A test case might be e1 BY item1@1 item2 item3*0.51; It is obviously pretty redundant and unmaintainable to make a big list like that in a single rule, and ultimately not possible as the variable list might exceed the rule's length. Suggestions gratefully received. Tim

key binding blues

by Darren Hardy

hi TextMate'rs, i have the key binding blues. i'm an old vi guy and i still cannot deal with the mouse when writing. so, i want to be able to use TextMate *without* using the mouse. moreover, i want to be able to use all the keys on the *home row* of my query keyboard (e.g., a-s-d- f-g-h-j-k-l-;). my question is how do i ensure that my keybindings override everything? for example, TextMate uses ^h in lots of different bundles and i have to hand-edit a dozen different bundles to change ^h to something else. (i thought control- functions were reserved for user stuff?). right now, i'm using KeyBindings.dict in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate, like so: { /* vi-like navigation */ "^f" = "pageDown:"; "^b" = "pageUp:"; "^w" = "moveWordRight:"; "^h" = "moveLeft:"; "^j" = "moveDown:"; "^k" = "moveUp:"; "^l" = "moveRight:"; "^e" = "scrollLineDown:"; "^y" = "scrollLineUp:"; } also, is there anyplace that has the definitive documentation for what the keybindings are? (TextMate's 'Show Keyboard Shortcuts' isn't showing my changes). i'm mostly interested in text navigation and basic word processing functions. i can't believe that i'm nostalgic for WordPerfect circa 1990 when everything clearly defined via function keys and you could by a reference card for it :). neverthelesss, TextMate has more promise than anything i've seen in years. finally, are there example key binding configurations for TextMate that are emacs-like or bash-like or vi-like? thanks in advance, -darren

Re: [TxMt] [XCode Bundle] BUILD_FOLDER environmental variable

Personally I do >not have Xcode running most of the time. Ok. Then would configuration based environmental variables be useful for the Xcode bundle? You tell the XCode project you're building Debug configuration (and/or X target) and TM will use Debug environmental variables instead of Release ones... or environmental variables specific to that target. (This would also solve my problem in a round-about way: I could specify a TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_DEBUG and TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_RELEASE and, since I specified that I'm building Debug, TM would use TM_BUILD_DIRECTORY_DEBUG to find and launch the app) Later, _Ryan Wilcox -- Wilcox Development Solutions: <http://www.wilcoxd.com> Toolsmiths for the Internet Age PGP: 0x2F4E9C31

Project drawer preference setting?

by Jay Bibby

I have a very simple question: where is the setting with which I can choose the side the project drawer appears on? I have a collection of project windows I keep open every time I open TextMate, and the project drawers are all on the left. However, I just created a new project and the drawer is on the right and I cannot see any setting in preferences that controls this, nor can I just drag the drawer where I want it. I can hide the drawer, move the window all the way over to the right and then show the drawer and it pops out of the left where I want it. But come on! There must be a better way?! Either it's right there in front of me and I'm not seeing it, or it's unusual interface shortcoming for such a nice product. Thank you for your help, Jay

Markdown Bundle bug: list syntax

by Ale Muñoz

Hi there, there seems to be a bug/glitch on the Markdown Bundle. The command to insert a new list item (currently bound to ↩) wrongly assumes unordered list items always begin with "*" If I have a list like this: - foo - bar<caret> pressing 'return' produces this: *- foo - bar * <caret> which is quite not right :) I've been taking a look at the code for the command, but it's a little bit over my head :) Michael, could you please take a look at it? Thanks in advance... -- Ale Muñoz http://sofanaranja.com http://bomberstudios.com

Performance problem with LaTeX Documents

by AndreasZeitler

Hi, A few days ago i realized i have a performance problem with LaTeX documents within TextMate. I've tested it with HTML and some other languages a few minutes ago. It seems that only LaTeX has some problems. When i type a letter on my keyboard it takes about half a second until the letter gets displayed in the document. I think you could realize how annoying this is especially when you have to write some very long text. What is wrong here? Do i have something running...all the time...which costs so much time to calculate? Thanks for any help. (or questions...)

Bundle commands cause textmate to hang, then erases selection

by James Fishwick

Good Morning, When executing certain commands Textmate hangs for a few moments, then simply erases the selected text instead of executing said command. Two examples would be "Wrap each selected line in open close/ tag" in the HTML bundle, and "Tidy" in the XML bundle. These commands have worked fine in the past year of using textmate. Recently I had a hard-drive failure and had to copy all of my preferences from back-up - this is the only thing I can think of which would have effected textamate's behavior. Any ideas? Thanks, James Fishwick Charlottesville, VA

Ideally we >would extend our code to also look there. Yes, my build dir is stored in the .xcconfig. Parsing those is no easy matter: you can have environmental variables in there, #include other .xcconfigs... The annoying thing is that the path is in the project's executable setting: writing the following AppleScript shows the proper path tell application "Xcode" tell project 1 set a to active executable a's path end tell end tell BUT the executable I don't think changes when configurations are switched (right?) OTOH, would that make a good fall back when we can't find the executable even in $PROJECT_DIR/build ?

Nested Snippet Evaluation

by Alain O'Dea

TextMate [r1405#17788] I'm not sure if this is an issue specific to the Erlang bundle. I want to write the following: -import (lists, [map/2, sum/1]). I want to write it using snippets as follows and have my cursor appear after ending dot: imp<TAB>lists<TAB>map<TAB>2<^,>sum<TAB>1<TAB> However the result of this is: -import (lists, [map/2, sum/1 <CURSOR>]). Basically I expect surrounding snippets to remain in something like a stack so that their tab stops are honored prior to the tab key being accepted as a tab character. Is this supported in TextMate?
