I recently migrated from a 2006 to 2010 MacBook Pro and migrated all my data over with one exception: I upgraded my new computer from OS 10.6.5 to 10.6.7. Now Edit in Textmate has disappeared from my Edit menu in applications like Mail and TextMate, and the key binding Ctrl-Cmd-E doesn't work even on TextMate itself (eg, when editing snippets).
I'm running TextMate 1.5.10 (1631) on both computers, and updated my bundles. Edit in TextMate is checked under System Preferences/Keyboard/Services.
I've tried the fixes reported previously on this list and on the TextMate wiki, including:
* Running Mail in 32-bit mode.
* Adding the key binding Ctrl-E using Allan's technique described at http://wiki.macromates.com/Troubleshooting/EditInTextMate
* Unchecking TxtToTM in System Preferences/Keyboard/Services (it was previously being invoked by the same key combination as Edit in TextMate).
* Checking for existence and root ownership of Edit in TextMate in /Library/InputManagers. (I assume I don't need another copy in ~/Library/InputManagers.)
QuickCursor has been recommended to me, but based on the comments I've seen the current version doesn't match Edit in TextMate's clipboard features.
Any guidance greatly appreciated!

The Edit in Textmate from the new version of Quickcursor is working fine for me. I use it in 64-bit SL 10.6.7

What things is it lacking, do you think? I switched from TextMate's native feature to QuickCursor a while ago -- I prefer QuickCursor's less hacky approach and, frankly, it's nice to be able to get this ability for other editors as well -- and there's nothing that immediately comes to mind that I miss. QC is a little bit different, in that if you want editing windows from certain apps to always open as a specific file type you have to set that in preferences, but otherwise the functionality seems to be pretty similar.

As I recall, Edit in TextMate used to let us flip back and forth between a window in an application and the one linked to it in TM. With QuickCursor, multiple edits lead to multiple windows saved in TM. Thus QuickCursor is not very helpful for editing long documents.
I have really missed Edit in TextMate for 64 bit apps (especially in Mail and Safari) so QuickCursor might be the trick for me (plus I'm a HogBay fan, screen shared with the dev to fix a bug once). I hadn't heard of it until now. Thanks guys.

If installed (properly) *and* the application is running in 32 bit mode then there should be an Edit in TextMate entry in the Edit menu.
Since it is not appearing in TextMate (which is 32 bit) it indicates that the input manager is not installed correctly.
Try in Terminal to run: ls -lR /Library/InputManagers/Edit\ in\ TextMate
This will show all the files and their owner/protection flags, this may shed some light over what is wrong.
You can also try remove it and use Bundles → TextMate → Install “Edit in TextMate”… — I just tested this on a new (clean) machine running 10.6.7, and after switching Mail to run in 32 bit mode, I had the menu item and the ⌃⌘E key even worked (at some point Mail swalled this key).

The Edit in TextMate _service_ has been discontinued long ago. It is the _input manager_ you need.

I have yet to try this myself, given the comments in this thread, it sounds like it is about time I do :)

I picked it up today and am very pleased. I use tm's cont-cmd-E for 32 bit apps and cont-cmd-4 with qc for 64 bit apps. Works like a charm.

Hi Allan,
Thanks for helping us out here. I have tried many times to get Edit in TextMate to load. For example, just now, I removed InputManager from Library and used Bundles → TextMate → Install “Edit in TextMate”. But the Symbolic Link button returned the message "The input manager (/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/Edit in TextMate) was not found in the TextMate application bundle." Indeed, Edit In TextMate is not in Resources. I opened Resources using the gear, and also looked inside Resources via the terminal with ls, and it is not there. I tried reloading TextMate from Macromates website and Edit in TextMate is still not anywhere to be found on my computer. I discarded old files and tried reloading again. I also tried the link just above the Symbolic Link button and followed your instructions using terminal. I always ran up against the same problem. Where is Edit in TextMate?
QuickCursor is not nearly as useful as Edit in TextMate, at least not to me. You will quickly learn that QuickCursor simply uses the clipboard to move text from one file to another, and can lose data and formatting such as quotation level lines from mail. It does not permit multiple edits without creating multiple files.
Best regards,
Jenny

This seems to indicate you have an old version of the TextMate bundle (which contains the installer + the Edit in TextMate input manager). Unless you have made changes to it, you can revert by deleting ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/TextMate.tmbundle
The proper location of the Input Manager should be: /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/TextMate.tmbundle/Support/Edit in TextMate (if you have latest TextMate, as would be the case if you just re-downloaded, it should still be here, regardless of the local version of this bundle eclipsing the newer installer).
So the steps to manually install would be:
# 1. Remove all local input managers rm -rf ~/Library/InputManagers
# 2. Create InputManagers folder sudo mkdir /Library/InputManagers
# 3. Copy the input manager to /Library sudo cp -pR /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/TextMate.tmbundle/Support/Edit\ in\ TextMate /Library/InputManagers
# 4. Ensure everything is owned by root sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/InputManagers
# 5. Set permissions properly on system wide input managers sudo chmod -R go-w /Library/InputManagers

It works now, thanks, Allan!!!! Edit in TextMate is so much better than QuickCursor. Typical, I would say. When you do something, you do it right. Now I can start latexing with a blend of TeXShop and TextMate just like the big guys.
