I've used TextMate off and on for a while. But, something is driving me nuts, and it's so painful that I must not be doing something correctly. I need help. If I type blah[' then TM will obligingly add '] So my cursor (|) ends up like this blah['|'] I guess it's trying to help me. So, I type 'name' and my cursor is now like this blah['name|'] So, now what do I do??? I want keep typing. I want to get outside the ']', not inside it. But, I can't figure out how. Right now, I just hit right arrow twice. But, this is such a pain, it can't be right. What am I missing? -Paul

LaTeX with TL2007

by Alain Matthes

Hello:) First, actually I work with TexMate and gwtex based on TL 2007 but I need for my work at school a portable PC (with Ubuntu ) With Ubuntu, I installed (by hand) TL2007, because Debian and Ubuntu works only in "experimental" with TL 2005. I would like to have the same distibution on OS X and Ubuntu, The only solution is to install TL2007 on the MAC but i would like to know if they are some difficulties : With linux i've texmf in /$HOME and texlive in /usr/local/texlive with now 2007/ and texmf-local/ I think there is no problem to work with TextMate and TL2007 but can you confirm that ! Actually with gwtex, i have a problem with "documentation for package", perhaps i need to make some adaptations for this with TL2007 Greetings Alain Matthes

Ruby String.to_mate

by Thomas Aylott (subtleGradient)

Bask in the glory of true awesomeness! Export Ruby strings directly into TextMate from irb or anywhere Ruby runs locally! http://pastie.textmate.org/53655 "I want this text in textmate".to_mate …will create a new temp file with the filename of the object_id and then open it in TextMate. There's also String.to_safari() If you want to keep the temp files filename the same, just pass in the filename with the method. "I want this text in textmate".to_mate('fred') Enjoy thomas Aylott — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg — sixteenColors

insert breakpoints in python code

by Yi Qiang

Hello, I am a relatively new TextMate user and am still learning all the ins and outs of it, but it certainly is a lot of fun :) When I am doing python development, a lot of times I just want to set a breakpoint in my code, and the way to do that in python is: import pdb; pdb.set_trace() Typing that each time got boring, so I wrote this little snippet for it. I would like some feedback, especially with the way I am figuring out the right indentation level :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/env python # This TextMate command inserts a breakpoint ABOVE the currently selected line # Yi Qiang (yqiang _at_ gmail dot com) import os import sys text = sys.stdin.readlines() line_number = int(os.getenv('TM_LINE_NUMBER')) - 1 # TM counts from 1 spaces = (len(text[line_number]) - len(text[line_number].expandtabs (4).lstrip())) debug_string = (' ' * (spaces)) + 'import pdb; pdb.set_trace()\n' text.insert(line_number, debug_string) sys.stdout.write(''.join(text)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Cheers, Yi -- http://www.yiqiang.net

working with "remote projects"

by Rob McBroom

Inspired by a [recent thread][1], I've come up with a couple of commands to facilitate using TextMate's project features on a remote directory. To sum up, the problem is: I want to work with files in a TextMate project from the local filesystem (for speed, Subversion compatibility, and other reasons), but the files I'm working on are useless unless they're on some remote machine. I say "remote projects" in quotes because the project is actually local, but created from a directory that is intended to be an exact copy of one from a remote machine. The commands are similar in spirit to some of Dreamweaver's "Site" features, for those who care about such things. I've been using these commands pretty heavily on a project at work and am pleased with the results, so I thought I'd share. The two commands are "Get Remote Project" and "Upload Project Changes". The commands have a global scope (ideally, they would be scoped to "files that belong to a project", but I don't know if that's possible). They essentially save all files and call `rsync - au` on your directory in different directions. The basic process is that you create a project in TextMate from a local directory, then set a variable in that project called `WHERE_I_CAME_FROM` that contains a location rsync understands, like `user@server:/remote/ path`. When you're ready to see the changes on the server, use the "Upload Project Changes" command. ## Setting up a project Here are two ways to set up such a project: (Note the trailing / on the rsync "source" path. It matters.) * Get the files and create the project 1. Make a local copy mkdir foo rsync -au user@server:/remote/path/ foo 2. Open the directory as a project in TextMate mate foo 3. Set `WHERE_I_CAME_FROM` in the project to `user@server:/ remote/path/` 4. Save the project * Create the project and get the files 1. Create and open the project in TextMate mkdir foo mate foo 2. Set `WHERE_I_CAME_FROM` in the project to `user@server:/ remote/path/` 3. Run the "Get Remote Project" command (currently ⌃⌘P) 4. Watch your files appear in the drawer 5. Save the project I prefer the second method right now, but if the final two steps in the first method could be automated (set a project variable and save the project), the whole process could be turned into a shell script, or possibly a command in TextMate. ## Subversion I haven't had any issues using this method when the remote directory in question is a Subversion working copy. You basically end up with another working copy (and it's normal with Subversion to have working copies spread everywhere, so this is no big deal). I've been doing commits and other modifications to the working copy locally and have had no issues using rsync to update the remote side afterward (although, theoretically, you could acheive the same thing by running `svn update` on the remote copy). ## Outstanding Issues * Deleted files If you delete a file from your disk/project, the deletion won't be replicated. You need to either remove the file in both places manually, or if using Subversion `svn update` the other end after the removal has been committed to the repository. There is a `--delete` option in rsync, but I consider it too dangerous to be on by default. * Keyboard Shortcut ⌃⌘P wasn't my first choice. I'm open to suggestions. According to the manual, project related shortcuts should use ⌃⌘, but I don't think this has been stricly followed which made it hard to find something. There are other commands using ⌃⌘P and since they have a more specific scope than these "remote project" commands, they will win in those scopes. As for overriding ⌘S to run these commands, that would be convenient in many situations, but innappropriate in most. The commands really only need to be used if you're in a project and `WHERE_I_CAME_FROM` is set, so it wouldn't really be appropriate to have ⌘S trigger them unconditionally as they currently exist. * Extended Attributes If you're going from Mac to Mac, you might consider adding the - E option to the rsync command to be sure metadata is included. It's not there by default because most of my remote machines are running Solaris and -E makes rsync on Solaris poop in its pants. Perhaps there should be another variable that could be set in TextMate or a specific project that holds your preferred rsync options for these commands. * Project variable name I'm sure I should use something more grown-up sounding than `WHERE_I_CAME_FROM` in the long run, but what? I didn't see any naming conventions for project variables in the manual. Are `TM_*` variables meant to be only things that the application is aware of or should all TextMate specific variables start with that? ## Other commands? I've thought about adding a TextMate command that will do an `svn update` on the remote path. This would be for deleted files or for people who aren't comfortable updating the various `.svn` directories using rsync (I know you're out there). I've also considered adding a command that will run `rsync -aun` in both directions to show you what will happen if you run one of the commands without actually making the changes. Would either of these be useful? If you have need for something like this, try these commands out and let me know what you think. Thanks.

For instance it used to be that it would only work with > files with extension .tex, though that was recently fixed. Needless to say, Haris, this answered my issue. The template I was using had quotes around the filenames, on removal, it all works fine. I'm not sure whether the quotes are correct style or not, but this was the problem, everything works now. Perhaps if quotes are common, then these can be set to be ignored by TextMate? Thanks again for your efforts! Suhaib.

Xelatex: cannot find article.cls using Mactex distribution

by baptiste auguie

Hi, A small problem using xelatex on TM: I've just decided to use the Mactex install because the Fink XeTeX packages didn't seem to work out of the box for me. I've managed to get a sample file to compile and produce a pdf using Texshop configured with this new XeTeX installation. When I want to process the same file with Textmate, i get an error: This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6 ... ! LaTeX Error: File `article.cls' not found. Looking at the log file from Texshop reads, "(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls" where Textmate would complain and stop. What do i need to configure for textmate to look for files in this texlive distribution?

Perhaps I should remark that I'm not _advocating_ the use of PostScript specials. It's simply that I have mundane reasons for using them, currently. The first version of Watch was written for my own use, so I made it work with the documents that I'm writing. Since then, I've tried to make it more generally useful, hence PDF being the default mode in the current version. I look forward to the day when I never need to use another PostScript special, and I can do everything with PDFLaTeX.

If you want, you can send to me some files (.tex and .pdf) of your work and I try to see if I can make a package with tikz for you. I know diagrams package and I think with tikz, we can make something more simple with only pdflatex. I know xy and i work with it the first time but how it's possible to work with the xy syntax ???

It is no longer a problem. Here's what I've done since yesterday: My TextMate project files and some of the projects are on an 2GB encrypted disk image. As part of some 'housekeeping' duties, I wanted more space on the disk image, so I created a new 4GB disk image and copied all of the files over to the new disk image. Upon opening up a couple of the projects in their new location, command-` now seems to work. Bizarre.

Can you still not toggle among them with cmd-backtick? Thanks Haris. I think I've solved the problem. Of course, I thought the issue was gone earlier today, so... I have Menu Master installed, and I just added TextMate to the its exclude list. That seems to have fixed it. However, I have MM installed on my G5 and TM isn't in the exclude list, and I don't see the problem on that system. As well, this issue only arose on my MacBook Pro within the last week or so. So there could be some other subtle issues.
