Be sure to first select "Ruby on Rails" from the pop-up menu at the bottom of a document window, if it's not already selected. It's the menu that says "Plain" in a new, untitled document.
I had launched with a mate . in my rails app dir and opened a controller. The menu said Ruby but I hadn't read or stumbled upon this menu. I thought that the bottom was a status bar. Now the snippets are working :)
Once you do that, to use a snippet, type the shortcut (usually in parentheses after the title of the snippet), then press Tab. So typing in, say, "logi<tab>" results in:
logger.info "Current value is..."
No. The DMG file is a disk image [1] and is merely a delivery vehicle for TextMate. When you double-click it, it is mounted as any other disk would be (such as a CD, if TextMate were sold in stores).
Drag the TextMate application from the mounted image into your Applications folder to copy it there, and you can then "eject" the mounted disk and throw away the disk image. To get to your Applications folder, click the desktop to activate Finder and choose Go > Applications from the menu bar. From then on, you can launch TextMate from the Applications folder. If you want, you can also drag the TextMate icon from the Applications folder to the Dock at the bottom of the screen, and launch it from there.
This one I figured out and had installed Textmate to the Applications folder after I posted. Thanks any how. Appreciate your time.
