I like how TextMate seamlessly merges user bundles with the default
bundles. I can add new snippets, for example, and they'll be stored
(transparently) in my ~/Library folder, so that when I upgrade to a
new version of TextMate, my custom snippets won't get blown away.
This works great for adding things to the default bundles, but what
about changing them? I know any changes I make to a default bundle
will override the original, but that works well only until the next
TextMate release comes out. Consider the release notes from the
recent update:
"Lots and lots of changes, fixes, and additions to the bundles."
That means wherever I've made a change to a bundle, even small
tweaks, I'll be losing all these bug fixes and enhancements that have
been made in the new version. For this reason, I've been avoiding
making any changes to the default bundles, but of course this
prevents me from tweaking the bundles to suit my particular needs and
workflow.
I'm wondering how other TextMate users handle this problem. Do people
track the bundle repository, merging upstream changes (and fixing
conflicts) as they occur? Or is it more common simply to avoid making
any changes at all, as I've been doing (reluctantly)?

Hi,
Don't know what I've done or how it happenend, but I have inexplicably
lost the ability to save a file using Command-S on the keyboard. Saving
a file from the menu works fine.
I've tested the Command-S in other applications, and it works as
expected so I'm reasonably sure it's not a dead or malfunctioning key on
my keyboard.
I had hoped the recent update might restore the Command-S function, but
no joy.
Suggestions for how to get the Command-S function back?
Thanks

Is it possible to have "Soft Wrap" enabled for only a specific
bundle? I want to wrap text documents at 78/80 chars, and I know
TxtMate doesn't have "Hard Wrap" yet (hope it gets it some day ;))...
however, when I turn softwrap on, it seems to be on again until I
turn it off.
Anyway to avoid this?

I was wondering how to handle snippets for various XML types. For
example, I'm developing some snippets for the Quotation Exchange
Language [1]. Although QEL is just XML with a specific schema, its
snippets are totally unique and would be useless in any other XML
file. That makes me inclined to give the QEL snippets their own scope
(to avoid potential naming conflicts between tag triggers). But how
can this be done? It seems like I'd have to create a new language
type for QEL, but I'd simply be duplicating the XML bundle -- not
just for QEL but for all the XML file types I'm writing snippets for.
The thought of all that redundancy bothers me; perhaps there's some
way of "subclassing" the XML language type? Or is there an entirely
different way to handle this kind of thing?

How could I go use keystrokes to select text from the cursor to the
next (or previous) occurrence of a searched term? This would be
really helpful for automating tasks, for example, in quickly hacking
out macros that can operate on variable-length text fields (where a
"select until next tab" would be useful -- using ^W doesn't help with
URLs). I'm aware that I can get around this using find-and-replace of
an entire block of text via regular expressions, but was wondering if
there's something more procedural.
Thanks,

Hi,
I would like to disable the automatic file backup in TM. I didn't find an
option in the preferences menu - could someone please tell me how to do
this?

Hola,
As long as we don't have that snippet repository yet: here are two
small snippets I have been using a lot lately:
Variations on the "link" snippets:
[${1:mail}](mailto:${2:HREF})
[${1:file}](file:///${2:HREF})

Hi all,
unfortunately I modified "Slush & Poppies" theme and ruined the
colors. Is there a way to get back the original "Slush & Poppies"
theme with its standard colors?
THX,

I see where the subversion menua has the option of updateing the
entire project, but I do not see one for commiting the entire
project. Am I not seeing it, or does it not exist?
Thanks.
