I use a lot a command that I call "quickSearch" that look for the next text equal that the one that is selected. It is very useful since you can find quickly var declarations, etc. only selecting the word (you'll need only the keyboard!) and press, for exmple Shift-Ctrl-Opt- -> or Shift-Ctrl-Opt- <- (arrow keys) for quickSearchBackward. The only way I've found is building the macro:
copySelectionToFindPboard: findForward:
or the analogous for findPrevious:
The problem is with this simple action I destroy the FindPboard and this is an unnecessary, I think, colateral effect.
Have s/o solve this not destroying the FindPboard?
Thanks, as you say it does no destroy the FindPboard. That seems to mean that "Use local clipboard while executing macro" also includes that special paste-board.
In the bundle editor if you open a macro, there is a little checkbox called "Use local clipboard while executing macro". I think if you use that the pasteboard contents should not be affected. TM saves the pasteboard contents before executing macros/ commands, and reinstates the pasteboard to its previous state when it's done.
This checkbox is in fact by default on, so theoretically your macro should not be destroying the findPboard. In fact I just tried it with such a macro and it worked just fine, the Pboard got unaffected. (Btw, you perhaps meant findNext: instead of findForward: ? I don't know how to produce findForward:, or if there is a difference between the two).
(I assume of course you created the macro by recording the keystrokes cmd-E and cmd-G).
Another:
I love to reread the last closed file in a time sorted (stacked) way: last closed file, first one to open. This also allows me to open several files (and close) them quickly.
I used to use Ctrl-Opt-O for that process in AlphaX. I can't find the way for doing this with TM. I think you should save in a file the history of open files, or so... TM haven't memory variables, in any way. Alpha has an embedded interpreter inside it and then read many many procs and variables at start and is easy to refer to them and also has open-hook and close-hook procs that make this stack very easy.
Any idea?
You might want to file a feature request if there isn't one yet: http://macromates.com/ticket/
I have many many lines of code for to introduce in TM, but I am worried about the fact that many of them will be impossible since TM does not preserve states and always depends on external commands and not have an internal interpreter. This is a very deep limitation, you must agree with me.
