Is is possible? Can't figure out how to do it if it is...
Thanks,
Michael

I've encounter a couple of problems when I work with a file that's opened in
two separate windows.
First if I select and copy text in one window and past it into the second
window, when I return to the first window the selection doesn't disappear
when I click somewhere else on the page. I need to cursor over the selection
to force a redraw to remove the selection appearance.
Second when I perform any sort of editing on one window and Command+` to the
second window (and before using the mouse to click on the second window's
edit area) the insertion point is moved to the top of the page so that any
subsequent keyboard activity results in the page redrawing at the top of
page. I then have to relocate the line that I was originally at.
This makes any sort of editing between two views of the same file using a
keyboard a pretty frustration experience.
I'm not going to mention a request for a split window as I think that one's
been requested enough in the past. ;-)
Thanks,
Ed
Thanks guys for the help. Not a perfect solution, as there is about a 5
increase/decrease difference between desired print and screen font size, but
repeating the keystroke in the script works.
All the best,

In fact, it was your work that inspired me to take the next step. If
it's okay with you, there are some automations in your ScreenMate
piece that I would like to dissect and re-use/adapt for the kind of
writing I do -- mostly essays. (I should note that I actually do do
some screenwriting, but, since it's for a series of documentary
shorts I'm doing with Louisiana Public Broadcasting, most of my
screenwriting is in the field, on a notepad while we're driving or
while the crew shifts gear around.)
On that note, let me say how thankful I am for your work on
ScreenMate and James' work on the book and everyone else being so
helpful on this list. I don't follow large chunks of the discussion,
but I read it all in hopes of some form of intellectual osmosis
happening.

Hi,
Some information for those who are interested in using the textmate
footnotes plugin described in the PragProgrammer Textmate book, who
have updated ruby recently, and who might be having some problems.
I recently updated to Rails 1.2.3 and Ruby 1.8.6 on my intel MacBook
Pro. I tried installing the Footnotes plugin for Rails/textmate using
the Rails bundle install plugin command and got the following error
that started as so:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.7.1/rbconfig.rb:7: ruby lib
version (1.8.5) doesn't match executable version (1.8.6) (RuntimeError)
After googling extensively, I found the following explanation and fix
on the wincent.com site:
<http://wincent.com/knowledge-base/
Building_and_installing_Ruby_1.8.6_on_Mac_OS_X_Tiger>
It appears that I had previously set the RUBYLIB shell variable in my
~/.bash_profile file to point to:
RUBYLIB="/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:/usr/local/lib/ruby/
site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.7.1:/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8:/usr/local/lib
/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.7.1"
export RUBYLIB
I think I had followed some online recipe a few versions ago to
install Ruby and Rails on my computer.
So this entry created a mismatch between the correct lib directory
for ruby 1.8.6 and the current version of ruby.
Removing this line from the .bash_profile fixed the plugin error for me.
Hope this helps someone else avoid some frustrations.

Uh, "me too!" and "thanks!" to you both for asking and answering this
question. I had just assumed the delay was something I had to live with.

I have not found any documentation on this so I'm asking everyone on
this list.
How do I change the time delay between selecting text and clicking in
the middle of it and being able to drag it?
If I click and start to drag I loose my selection. If I wait after
clicking for about 2 sec. it will allow me to drag and drop the text
selection.
This is a really frustrating delay that TextWrangler does not have
and slows me down.
I'm assuming this is some sort of feature that the devs. thought
would be helpful?
Is there anyway to turn this "feature/bug" off?
Thanks
Daniel Baldwin
Does anyone know if it is possible to change TextMate's display font via
Applescript. I'd like to do this so that I can work in one font size, and
print in another.
Advance thanks for any help.

Take a look at the screenwriting bundle, which uses Prince for PDF
output.

Has anyone here downloaded and installed Prince? I'm increasingly
happy using TextMate for almost all of my writing and so I thought to
give the CSS + XHTML route a go. I downloaded Prince and ran
install.sh both as root (using sudo) and as a regular user. But when
I go to use Prince or ask for help -- "prince -- help" all I get is
this:
/usr/local/bin/prince: line 3: /usr/local/lib/prince/bin/prince: No
such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/prince: line 3: exec: /usr/local/lib/prince/bin/
prince: cannot execute: No such file or directory
I know this is off-topic for this list, but I was hoping someone here
was working towards a similar workflow and had done it successfully.
