This is huge!

Thanks so much for this! I’ll be hopefully carving out a big chunk for this work this weekend!

I’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Thanks again,

Graham Heath

A few “typos” made it into my email.

The values should have been onDocumentChange and onDocumentSave rather than documentDidChange and documentDidSave. The latter though is what they’ll likely be changed to.

And the environment variable present for successive runs is TM_REFRESH.

Here’s an example which works with the current nightly build: https://github.com/textmate/markdown.tmbundle/blob/live-preview/Commands/Markdown%20preview.plist

Current test build has a preliminary implementation of this feature.

Thats great news. You mention that the commands could update the HTML view,

would they also have access to the gutter (and/or tooltips)?

You can access gutter via $TM_MATE and tool tips can be shown by using $DIALOG.

You’ve got a good point that the process should be killed when a user no

longer wants it, for my use though I can’t imagine wanting to turn the

linter service off while TextMate was still open. If there was a

"application-will-close" event, bundles could be responsible for cleaning

up after themselves.

Here is the preliminary documentation (I will likely change the keys to match the semantic classes and also make it a mask rather than either/or):

---

New autoRefresh key that can be set in tmCommand, value can be either:

• documentDidChange: Re-run the command after document has changed.
• documentDidSave: Re-run the command after a file in the project has been saved (after delay to coalesce multiple documents being saved).

If a document has autoRefresh set to onDocumentChange it will stop running if the document is closed. If there is a HTML output window, this window will then also close.

If a command has HTML output, closing the HTML output will stop running the command.

If the user runs a command with autoRefresh enabled for a second time, and there is an open HTML output window associated with the command, then it brings the window to front, otherwise it will stop the first instance.

For successive command executions the TM_REFREH environment variable is present and set to YES.

Planned: If the command’s title matches: (\w+) / (\w+) (.+) then it will show as $1 $3 by default and $2 $3 when running. This means the command can be named “Show / Hide Preview” and will appear as “Show Preview” unless the preview is already showing, in which case it becomes “Hide Preview”.

Debouncing an event like this over 300ms would mean that the event doesn’t

fire until 300ms have elapsed where the trigger wasn’t re-triggered.

Such complicated terms for “when the user is idle” :)
