Right now I'm outputting a snippet, since I need proper indentation and as far as I know that's only possible with a snippet? I'll set the cursor with $0 then.
Remember also to escape the content before/after the placeholder (caret), incase there is any snippet syntax. The `escape.rb` under `TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT` has an `e_sn` function for this.
What do I have to set in the macro to get the indentation?
I assume you want `output = insertAsSnippet;`.
Also: Is it possible to programmatically change the output type in ruby commands, like "exit_discard" and so on?
Yes, you can use these. Though since that only affects the command, if you `exit_discard` then you leave the user with a selection, so it might be better to just output an “unchanged” snippet incase you want to abort.
TextMate detects when a command’s output matches what’s already in the document (it does prefix/suffix match) so there should be no visible flash when replacing content with what’s already there.
