is there a way to create a shortcut to open the linked css-files in another window or in CSSEdit?
I'm sure it can be done. I haven't worked it all out, but hopefully this will get you started…
You would create a command with some keystroke that runs `mate some_path` or `open -a CSSEdit some_path`. Now, all you need is the right path. (I've never called `mate` from within TextMate. Anyone know if there are problems with this?)
You'll probably need to parse $TM_CURRENT_LINE to get the filename. The tricky part will be dealing with both absolute and relative paths in the href attribute and translating them to paths on the local filesystem.
For relative paths, I think it might be safe enough to just combine $TM_DIRECTORY and the value of the href attribute. For absolute paths (that start with '/'), $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY will probably work as a prefix (if you're in a project), but there's no guarantee. Outside of a project, I don't know. You might have to just look in $TM_DIRECTORY for the CSS path, then if you don't see it, check the parent directory, and keep going up until you find it.
So, if $TM_DIRECTORY is /Users/rob/Projects/web/foo/ and the link says href="/styles/blah.css", you would check these paths in the following order:
/Users/rob/Projects/web/foo/styles/blah.css /Users/rob/Projects/web/styles/blah.css /Users/rob/Projects/styles/blah.css /Users/rob/styles/blah.css /Users/styles/blah.css /styles/blah.css
Of course the last 2 or 3 are ridiculous, so you could make it smart enough to skip those, but you get the idea. Good luck.
