Hello everybody,
I have been trying Textmate for a couple of days now and am quite stunned -- it really has improved greatly compared to an older version I had tried before. It seems to have most of the key features I am missing in TeXShop for writing my Ph.D. dissertation (like tabs and code folding), so I am seriously considering switching.
Let me ask one question about using it for LaTeX however:
I would prefer to keep TeXShop to control the LaTeX processing rather than Textmate's own processing since I have some .engine file (i.e. scripts that are started form within TeXShop) I would like to keep to perform some specific tasks.
Of course I can simply set TeXShop to "external editor", open my main .tex file there and process it, but this is not so nice because of two reasons: - You have to switch applications. Not a big deal, but pressing a shortcut from within Textmate was nicer. - Syncing does not work. I suppose TeXShop would have to provide a feature to call an external editor and jump to a defined line, just like in TeXniscope (where it works fine).
Is there any chance that there will be a solution in the feature that would allow Textmate so tell TeXShop to begin the TeX processing (with a given .engine used), and that would allow syncing? Has there been a feature request for TeXShop already to implement the needed features?
Or am I simply missing something?
Thanks in advance, best
Matthias
