Hi,
there is a discussion about LaTeX editors going on in the BibDesk users list (with some enthusiastic recommendations for TextMate ...).
Let me forward one mail that could be interesting here as well.
To sum it up:
- Someone is missing code collapsing for \footnote{} commands (very good idea if you ask me ... I've seen that it is already in the Wiki as a feature request.)
That would be nice indeed, though I don't think it would be too easy, unless Allan changes how TM handles folding markers. I think folding markers need to be in separate lines, so we would have a chance for something like:
\footnote{
footnote text. We could fold this possibly.
}
though this does not seem that useful. As it is, begin-end blocks are not even recognized as folding markers if they appear in the same line.
Let me take this opportunity to mention that another request from the wiki has been partly implemented ten minutes ago. There is now a macro that turns characters into greek letters, i.e. typing "a" and then ctrl-shift-g produces "\alpha" etc. It uses a command as a helper.
- Adam Maxwell offers a completion controller that could improve the interaction between BibDesk and TextMate.
That sounds interesting. Do you have any links? I probably won't have much time to look into it, but maybe someone else would.
So what is wrong with the interaction as it is? What would people like to see different?
