Hi Folks,
I found some free time today and couldn't think of anything better to do[1] than trying to extend the life support of Edit in TextMate.
- The result is available on GitHub[2].
- The bundle uses SIMBL[3], so install that first.
- Install to `$HOME/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/`.
- If you installed the old input manager, remove it.
It has seen an /incredible/ lack of testing, but I used it a handful of times and it didn't set my computer on fire.
So far I've seen work with TextMate, TextEdit and Xcode, and /not/ work with Safari.
Feedback, bug reports and patches welcome, and apologies in advance if I don't get around to responding quickly at the moment.
Cheers, Martin

I am eager to try this out. Here is a feature which would make Edit in TextMate truly fly. Can you link the two files so that if you edit either one one of them, the other changes accordingly? If you can do this, then we will be able to use TeXShop to render PDF's, edit in TM, and have a decent sync mechanism (since TeXShop has sync). If the cursor was also tied to the same spot in both files, then this process would be almost seamless.
The Edit in TextMate mechanism builds on the ODB Editor Suite[1], which is nicely minimal but doesn't support any kind of “real” synchronisation, only “file modified” and “file closed” events.
What you envision would need to be a very different beast, and probably closely tied to both programs kept in sync.
(Also, I thought TextMate supported pdfsync and rendering in TeXShop?)
