Is there a way to fully turn off the gutter? Is there a way to theme the gutter? Is there a way to customize the gutter and only show the line numbers but not the fold markers, for example. Is there a way to customize what is shown in the status bar, for example, to remove the record button? (I know the full status bar can be turned off with a ‘default’ command.) Is there a way to fully turn off the “control bar” at the bottom of the file browser?
How to change colors for the gutter is in this release note entry (it is set in the current theme): https://github.com/textmate/textmate/blob/master/Applications/TextMate/about... https://github.com/textmate/textmate/blob/master/Applications/TextMate/about/Changes.md#2012-09-09-a9303
Ok, this is perfect!
Other than that, no customization possible beyond hiding status bar and hiding line numbers in the gutter.
If the above are not currently possible, are there any plans to add support for such? Also, is the application architected in a way that (some of) the above would be straight forward to implement? If so, I would be willing to do it.
The gutter, status bar, and file browser action bar are all self-contained NSViews, the two last ones use system controls placed via auto-layout. So should be fairly easy to at least change them, though making them user-customizable really depends on what you have in mind there.
I just like to hide things that I never use (or don’t use in a certain project). I would like to be able to turn the action/status bar and gutter on and off individually, preferably through a keyboard shortcut. Ultimately, I would like to be able to turn certain controls (such as the macro record button) off individually, but that would not be as important.
The gutter view has a generalized system for columns and the current code used to hide line numbers should be easy to apply to other columns.
I don’t really have any plans for adding customization options to these controls, though I acknowledge that since line numbers can be hidden, the other columns should probably also have a visibility toggle. Though I do wonder what the issue is with these columns that make some users want to hide them. Is it just that foldings are not used and thus the column takes up unnecessary space?
There is absolutely no issue with the gutter or its functionality, it is all useful. I just like the cleaner, distraction free look sometimes when I want to focus on coding and don’t need functionality or information offered in the gutter, status or action bar.
