Hi everyone (this is a debut), so far I've been using TeXShop for my LaTeX writing. I've written an extension to it that allows me type all kinds of Unicode symbols (such as greek letters, relation symbols and whatnot) in TeXShop which get converted to LaTeX code (so "≤" becomes "\leq" etc) on saving (or loading) based on a 1-1 mapping list. Thus, the text is readable on screen while the code remains portable.
Now, I'd like to switch to Textmate because of its better project management (and because I've paid for it...). I wonder whether I can keep this functionality on which I heavily depend. Are there auto replace on save/load solutions available? Sorry if this has been discussed before (although I haven't found it) or it's obvious (though I hae used TextMate for a while, I didn't do much customizing).
Well, this would be doable by using two scripts. But first I have some humble questions.
What kind of typesetting engine do you are using? E.g. I can type '≤' and I'll get '≤' without any conversion.
Do you want to typeset larger Greek texts or 'only' Greek letters in mathematical equations?
How do yo input these Greek letters? Do you switch to a Greek keyboard?
If I understood you correctly, your point is that you want to see e.g. α = β + γ instead of \alpha = \beta + \gamma
