I wish I could format the output of TM's commands in html, and make html links able to launch other TextMate commands !
Adding webkit as the output for commands is certainly possible. But I'm not sure how links should communicate with TextMate.
What I can do is introduce a custom URL scheme, like “txmt://” -- *but* this would be a global new URL scheme and open to browser exploits similar to the help:// and telnet:// proof-of-concept exploits half a year ago.
I'll have to check the webkit documentation for how easy it is to add a local URL scheme just for the instance I use in TM.
Although having a “global” scheme does have the advantage that e.g. a wiki could have a special txmt:// link to edit the page in TextMate ;)
I would also like to be able to use a TextMate webkit window that would be called from somewhere else.
Adding AppleScript support to TM is getting closer, so I'll keep that in mind.
I wish this window could be an interactive one, in Textmate. Thus I could jump directly to the error by clicking a link, etc...
Ah, now I see why you've been requesting the --line for the (fictive) tm utility (if that was you!?!).
Currently you can make TextMate jump to a file/line using AppleScript, but the “structure” is binary (it's from the MetroWerks External Editor IDE) so unfortunately it requires a language that can do this (e.g. C).
I'll have that tool made for b9 (I know I promised it for b8 ;) ).
