Altered per-word movement (control-left/control-right versus option-left/option-right)

by Tom Armitage

Apologies if I'm being stupid, but since a recent auto-update, the behaviour of holding option and ctrl with the cursor keys has altered; I think this is related to an item I noticed in a changelog. As it stands, Textmate is now using ctrl-left and ctrl-right for per-word selection, as opposed to option-left/option-right (unlike every other OSX app I have). Similarly, double-clicking is now selecting a sentence, not a word. This is more than a mite annoying for most work I do, with both text and code. Is the behaviour I describe the default now, or has something odd happened on my install? If the former, how do I change it... and if the latter, how do I revert it? Apologies if this topic has been covered - I couldn't find it anywhere on the list. t.

HYPERSEARCH: the next "big" step

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Dear all, Here comes the next step: There are quite a lot of new things in it so please also read the HELP scratch. In short terms: Changes for 'Search': - you can look across \n - you can specify more the one regexp group - If you select text (also across \n or \t) Hypersearch assumes that you are looking for a string not via regexp. Thus it will change RegExp option according to the content of your selection and escape the string if needed automatically. - you can display each RegExp group $1, $2, .. separately (useful when using embedded parenthesis because hyperlinks don't work properly) New function: GetAllMatches -based on a grouped regular expression or a single field delimiter it outputs all matches table-like according to the chosen data format -data formats are customizable via property lists by using TM or Property List Editor (Edit GetAll Formats opens a project for that) -you can create new formats based on 'new.plist' as template -output behavior is selectable within the tm_dialog (insert, replace, create new document,..) -Search and GetAllMatches are based on the same plist, so you can use Search to fine-tune your regexp and then open GetAllMatches with the latest regexp -five data formats are predefined: TAB 1\t2\t3\n HTML <tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td></tr> HTMLindented <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> </tr> HTMLTAB <table> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> </tr> </table> CSV "1","2","3"\n Now you can e.g. -convert XML to TAB or visa versa; -type a table with TAB and RETURN within your HTML document and convert this selection to HTML syntax by specifying the field delimiter TAB; -get all function names or string variables out of your script file -and and and ... see two examples in the HELP !! Comments, bug reports, and suggestions are welcomed as always. To install the bundle it is recommended to delete the old Hypersearch bundle in beforehand. Cheers, Hans PS I get many mails mentioning that Hypersearch is also quite useful for learning regular expressions ;)

TODO bundle and Folder Pattern

by Michael Larocque

Hi all, It appears that the 'Show TODO list' command doesn't honour a project's Folder Pattern. For example, amongst other directories, I've excluded the 'log' directory from my Rails project to speed up 'Find in Project', etc. As a test, I manually added a TODO to the development log. If I 'Show TODO list', I see this: Is it possible/easy for the TODO bundle to support this? P.S. I'd investigate this further myself, however at this point I'm relatively new to Ruby.

ascii/binary

by Chad Dombrova

hello all, i am working with files that contain mixed ascii and binary data. if i open the file in textMate and then resave it (without editing it's contents), parts of the binary data are incorrectly interpreted as line-breaks and the data becomes corrupted. is there a way to create an ascii/binary hybrid file-type that textMate understands so that i can edit the ascii without ruining the binary data? sorry if this is an obvious question, i'm still a textMate newb. thanks in advance, chad

tm_dialog version problem

by Adam French

I'm getting an odd error when I hit TAB after the 'blog' snippet in the blogging bundle. Here's an output: Title: untitled blog: => tm_dialog: server version at v4, this tool at v5 (they need to match) /Users/afrench/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/ dialog.rb:37:in `load': Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data (PropertyListError) from /Users/afrench/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/ dialog.rb:37:in `menu' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/ Blogging.tmbundle/Support/lib/blogging.rb:603:in `choose_blog_endpoint' from /tmp/temp_textmate.Ykuqtx:3 Looks like version of tm_dialog is out of sync. Any help would be appreciated. === ~Adam Textmate version: Version 1.5.4 (1324) Last checked for update: Nov 14 8:42AM central time

tm_dialog/ib question

by Jay Soffian

Not sure if this is possible or not. I'd like to setup a window that has an editable text field along with a drop-down of options. If the user selects an item from the drop- down, that items value should populate the text field. When the user is done with the window I want whatever is in the text field, whether manually typed or pre-populated from the drop-down to be returned by tm_dialog. This is similar to what Allan shows in his screencast, except that instead of an TSTableView I'm using an NSPopUpButton. Also, I want the NSTextField to be editable, but I don't want anything the user types there to update the NSAraryController/NSPopUpButton. I've almost got this working. I've setup an NSArrayController that I'm populating via tm_dialog. I've bound the NSPopUpButtons's contentValues to the NSArray Controller. However, whenever I edit the text field it ends up updating the drop-down. Doh. Also, I want to give this window working Cancel/Okay buttons. Is this doable? Do I need to use IB Connections instead of bindings to tie the pop-up to the text field? Hints/Tips appreciated, j.

TM won't open new projects

by Jenny Harrison

Hello all, I must be missing something simple, but this morning my TM refused to open any projects, old or new. I am using build 1324. The projects I tried to open are all listed under Window, but they are not visible. I closed all other apps, rebooted, but the problem remains. Jenny

invoking a snippet from a snippet

by Helge Hartmann

Hello! I try to develop my first bundle for Jess, a rule base language. For that I defined a snippet (defrule ${1:rulename} "${2:description}" ${3:patterns} => ${4:actions} ) Now I want to invoke an other snippets (MAIN::$1) invoked by main->tab at ${3:patterns}. But when I hit the tab, the cursor jumps to ${4:actions}. So, can you recommend something? I think I could simply use key bindings. But I like much more the tab trigger.

Printing bundle shortcuts

by Nigel Green

Hi, Possibly an "I've missed the obvious solution" scenario, but is there an easy way to print a list of the shortcuts/snippets available for a particular bundle? Clicking on the cog at the bottom of the window allows you to see them all, but it would be useful when learning a new bundle not to have to take ones fingers off the keys. I watched Allan's screencast of working with Objective-C files yesterday and it made me realise I am probably missing out on a lot of untapped power! Thanks, Nigel
