Hello everyone,
I first want to apologize to anyone who thought the subject said "TextMate2." I promise I wasn't trying to deceive you. :-)
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I have created an improved version of TabMate and wanted to share it with those of you who have been frustrated by a lack of an update to such a useful plugin.
TabMate2 brings improvements that include refreshing windows with your modeline settings when you:
-
Switch between windows (not just tabbing in and out of TextMate)
- Switch between tabs
- Save your file (editing then saving the modeline will immediately update your window settings)
- Reload Bundles
A bonus feature has also been added: You can also keep your modeline at the bottom of your files!
TabMate2 also has a companion bundle that helps you create and manage a modeline in your files. Install it and simply press ^M and a modeline will be added to the top of your file. If you already have a modeline in your file, the bundle will simply update the existing modeline with your selected language and tab settings.
I would also like to make this disclaimer: I'm new to Objective-C programming. This was my first real-ish project involving Objective-C and I welcome any comments or pointers about the
code itself. I also was only able to test this plugin in Snow Leopard and Lion, but I assume that building it with the 10.5 SDK would make it usable on Leopard, right?
Please let me know what you think!
