SQL syntax not working?

by Timothy Bates

Hi, If I set the scope of a doc to SQL and enter a select statement, I see this: In pepper (TextMate¹s spiritual parent as far as I am concerned: soooo far ahead of its time on everything except folding!), I get what I expect: Am I doing something wrong? tim

Latest TM version activation delays

by Gerd Knops

Hi, Since I updated from the previous to the latest TM version, any time I switch from another application to a TM window TM is unresponsive (pizza wheel) for approximately 3 seconds (time appears to depend on how many projects are open). Even if I have TM front, click any other App's window and immediately back to TM that delay is observed. Gerd

How to actually do a diff in TextMate?

by Michael A. Alderete

(I read the manual, did a search of the archives for "diff FileMerge" and read all hits before writing this email, and I have also tried a couple of the Diff commands in the Subversion bundle.) I am wondering if, either as part of Allan's documentation effort, or as some bundle maintainer's efforts, a simple "How to Find Differences Using TextMate" document could be written. Because I confess, I am at sea as to how to get a useful, usable diff of two similar documents. My gold standard for usable differences is (as many of the list postings discussed) BBEdit. In particular, it has a menu command, "Compare Two Front Documents", which provides a highly usable interface to locate, review, and merge/modify the differences between two open documents. FileMerge, while flawed in some important ways, also provides a reasonably useful way of interacting with two files. (The diff output of the Subversion bundle is not suitable to my group's needs.) For me, it's *critical* that a usable diff command *not* require either document to be under revision control. I am the first person in my group to be using any form of revision control more sophisticated than DreamWeaver's simple file locking. Subversion is being used only on new projects which I am in charge of, which is a very small percentage of the stuff I'm working on, so it'll be a good while before I can count on having stuff in Subversion. Perhaps this suggestion will be taken as rude (and it won't be useful for non-BBEdit converts who don't have a BBEdit license), but it would be perfectly acceptable for a TextMate differences command to simply pass along the two file references to BBEdit's command line differences program, bbdiff, if the process would allow me to resolve my differences there and have the results saved back into my open documents in TextMate. A more universal version might use FileMerge instead of bbdiff. Last, an offer: If there is an acceptable differences command already, and someone will write up a quick list of the steps to use it ala the "Compare Two Front Documents" command, I will write up a complete tutorial, complete with screenshots, etc., suitable for the complete newbie (such as myself, and my co-workers). I'm a good technical writer, by way of credentials, here are some URLs to Mac OS X documentation I've written: * PGP Desktop Manual Proxy Settings: <http://aldoblog.com/blog/493> * Getting Started with m0n0wall: <http://www.aldosoft.com/docs/m0n0wall-getting-started.html> * A whole series of articles covering audiobooks on iTunes and the iPod: <http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/> So, I'll commit to writing some quality docs for the wiki covering a differences command, if someone will point me in the direction of a differences command that is useful for my (and my co-workers') needs. Thanks! -- _____________________________________________________________ Michael A. Alderete <mailto:lists-2003@alderete.com> <http://www.alderete.com>

I believe you, but it's confusing because I can match all the empty lines in a given document with "^$". Oh well. No dice.

Bolding and antialiasing (and possibly Markdown)

by Jeffrey E. Forcier

Hey all, Thanks to Allan & co (is there really an '& co'?) for all the hard work--been using TM for about a year and still loving it :) I'm having an odd issue which I fear is actually a feature and not a bug (and I'm not even positive it's TM's fault), so to speak, but am asking anyway. Most monospaced fonts such as Monaco, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, &c, show up as vaguely bold when antialiasing is turned on; however I only realized this recently when messing around with Markdown and its syntax highlighting. When surrounding text with double asterisks, which as I'm sure everyone knows is Markdown for bold, the text actually gets *less bold* compared to the rest of the text! With antialiasing off, the amount of bolding is normal, e.g. stuff in double-asterisks is noticeably stronger than everything else. When using Courier or Courier New, things also look more normal (with antialiasing on *or* off). However, I hate coding with serif fonts, so just switching to Courier isn't really an option. I've looked around a bit for other fonts but so far they all display the same behavior as the bunch mentioned earlier. So. Is this something TextMate is doing, or is it at the system level? In the various terminal apps I've never had issues like this. And regardless, does anyone have any suggestions? I realize that at the end of the day it's a silly thing to complain about, but I tend to be a stickler about stuff like this; if, when writing in Markdown, my italics are italic, I'd like my bolds to be bold too =) Thanks for your time, Jeff -- Jeffrey E.

Bug: All commands unavailable until window is open (even if they are commands to open a window :-) )

by Timothy Bates

Hi, the Apache commands are fantastic! Using them highlighted a little bug for me: 1. close all documents 2. go to Automation:Run Command:Apache: expect: see "Open httpd.conf" usable obtained: All commands grayed out I think the best answer is to make them all available, even if this is inappropriate, and let the command have some error checking to feedback to the user that it needs a document, if necessary. tim 我爱言论自由人权和民主 “I love freedom of speech, human rights, and democracy" I also don't like the patriot act, or DCMA

assigning a scope to an empty line

by Oliver Taylor

I would assume that the following would assign a scope to an empty line, but it's not working. Any ideas? Is this possible? { name = 'splay.empty'; match = '^$'; },
