A colleague recently upgraded to 1.1b15, and since doing that she cant get
project windows to appear, they are listed as being open under the window
menu, but cannot be seen onscreen - is this a known problem? She isnt
running Tiger, whereas I am and have no problem with b15, could this have
something to do with it?
Regards
Chris Jenkins

Hi Guys,
This is my first post. I just wanna say: Wow! This thing looks
truly awesome! But... for those of us doing non-western and non-
UTF-8 encoding web pages, it's unusable.
Oh please please PLEASE add support for Shift-JIS and EUC-JP! (japanese)
Cheers,
Sean

My favorite text editor on Windows is UltraEdit, and it has a columnar
editing mode which is useful surprisingly often.
I am pretty sure I understand how TextMate's columnar editing works
(option-arrow to create column selection, then type). However, having
a columnar mode makes the feature much more useful.
When in the columnar mode, any cursor movement stays in the mode, and
shift-arrow does what you'd expect it to: shift-up/down keeps the same
columns selected but adds/removes the next line while shift-left/right
adds/removes the next column for all lines.
When you have one or more columns selected, typing replaces the
contents with the character just pressed, but keeps the same number of
columns.
Typing with 0 selected columns enters that key on every row.
Delete removes all the selected columns, yielding 0 selected columns.
Paste enters the clipboard contents into the first row of the selected
columns, though
honestly, I'd prefer that it pasted to all selected rows.
I think the primary benefit of a columnar mode is the ease of keyboard
selection of the column range.
Additionally, UltraEdit has a feature where you can analyze a
delimited file and automagically convert it to a fixed width file,
which lends itself to columnar editing. When done, you can then
convert it back to a delimited format.
The two features work together to make it great for editing flat files
of both fixed and delimited flavors.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the fixed scan dialog in ultraedit for
illustration of the feature.
It's not the best designed UI ever, but:
x The current file is assumed to be delimited.
x The scan button analyzes the current file's lines to try to determine
the max length needed for each field based on the options selected
(which are all settings except "Keep Delimiter" and "Field Widths").
x Based on this analysis, the Field Widths textbox is populated with
each field's width. If you know the widths needed, you can skip the
scan step and just enter your widths in the Field Widths box directly.
x Once you're happy with the Field Widths values, you click Convert to
translate it to fixed width. The "Keep Delimiter" option determines
whether the original delimiters are stripped from the resulting fixed
file.
The Convert To Delimiter dialog is much simpler (screenshot excluded);
it just takes the last Field Widths used for conversion to fixed, and
slaps on the given delimiter at those lengths.
===
Sorry for the length, but I think these are very useful features which
could be implemented (with a better UI) in TextMate, and I'd be happy
to see them included.
Cheers,
Jeremy Dunck
I just added myself to the list.
My name is Andreas Wahlin, aged 25 from Sweden. I fancy myself as a
"web developer" and know my way around JavaScript, DOM scripting and
such things. I've really just began to discover the rich world of wed
development and try to immerse myself in standards, AJAX and other
buzzwords. I bought a Mac just a few months back, being totally fed
up by windows and not managing to switch to (Suse) Linux. To be
honest, I haven't really switched over to TextMate just yet, but
something clicked with beta15 and I'll probably be doing the switch
real soon, TextMate seems to be heading in the correct way so I
really see it as a future investment!
Andreas
Hey Allan,
TextMate 1.1b15 is great, especially the new Theme editor which
dynamically updates any opened files. MUCH easier to make adjustments
that way.
Unrelated question: is there a specific reason why 'Show invisibles'
does not show spaces, like in... HEY, like in SubEthaEdit for
example ? ;)

hi there,
i just installed b15 and updated to the bundles svn to 1359 (and
additionally did a fresh checkout, to make sure) and now markdown
doesn't show any syntaxcoloring at all, regardless of the selected
theme.
anyone else? or should I just wait for an update of the bundles
repository?
best regards,
tom

After grabbing b15 and copying over the utilities, I'm getting a weird
error when running `tm` from the command-line:
ntalbott@jacob:~/svn/sandbox/sel$ tm
RegisterProcess failed (error = -50)
Abort trap
If I fully qualify `tm`, it works:
ntalbott@jacob:~/svn/sandbox/selector_namespaces$ ~/bin/tm
[window opens]
Strangely enough, `which` says it can't even find `tm`:
ntalbott@jacob:~/svn/sandbox/selector_namespaces$ which tm
no tm in ~/bin /opt/local/bin /usr/local/bin [...]
`tm -v` works:
ntalbott@jacob:~/svn/sandbox/selector_namespaces$ tm -v
tm 1.4 (2005-06-16)
ntalbott@jacob:~/svn/sandbox/selector_namespaces$ ~/bin/tm -v
tm 1.4 (2005-06-16)
Any ideas? Any more info I can provide?
Thanks,

hi there,
i have been creating projects left and right lately and realised,
that 'untitled' is not the best default name (i.e. *never* right) as
opposed to say the name of the toplevel folder that the project
consists of (i.e. *sometimes* right)
just my $0.02,
tom

I just had to write out a quick thank you for the way in which you
implemented the spell checker. I can finally get the best of both
worlds - hand coding with check as I type spelling.
Not only that, when I opened up a website I had done a while ago I
easily found a couple of mistakes. In one case it even showed me a
coding mistake & instead of &
As someone that does not know regex or other advanced ways of
customizing TM this new out-of-the-box-feature is a delight!
Thanks
Eric C
