But to “enter” the selection you can press cmd-option-A (works for normal selections only). This places the caret on the end of the first line, you can move it backwards and make changes.

Cool, I hadn't realized you could move backward and preserve the selection. One question then: Why can't the same be done when the columnar selection is enabled through the option key?

It will eventually be possible. Initially I wasn't sure exactly how to handle the case for a column-selection. If we have (selection of left column):

+--------------+ |@"declaration"| [NSDictionary ...] |@"keywords" | [NSDictionary ...] |@"strings" | [NSDictionary ...] +--------------+

I think using cmd-option-A should place carets like this:

@"declaration"| [NSDictionary ...] @"keywords"| [NSDictionary ...] @"strings"| [NSDictionary ...]

I.e. placing the caret before the last white-space sequence of each selected sub-line.

Hello Alain, It is simple, just replace pdflatex with Xelatex.

cd `dirname "$TM_LATEX_MASTER"` $xelatex --shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error \ "$TM_FILEPATH" | perl -e 'while(<>){$f.=$_}$_=$f;s/([^\n])\n([^\n])/$1$2/g;print;' echo echo "Previewing..." echo $TM_FILEPATH | perl -e 'while(<>){s/.tex$/.pdf/;print;}' | xargs open -a Reader

If you want the file to show in Textmate's htmlbrowser rather then opening Reader, just use the existing Latex bundle command and replace pdflatex with Xelatex.

Cheers Robert

Hello

Can I use Textmate as a front end for XeTeX ?

Did somebody already make the experiment ?

Actually i use TM with pdfLateX and Acrobat Reader :

/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex --shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error-style "$TM_FILEPATH" | perl -e 'while(<>){$f.=$_}$_=$f;s/([^\n])\n([^\n])/$1$2/g;print;' echo echo "Previewing..." echo $TM_FILEPATH | perl -e 'while(<>){s/.tex$/.pdf/;print;}' | xargs open -a Reader

I need the -sheel-escape option because i work with pstricks and postscript . It's fine and i've no problem to get the PDF files.

Thanks

Thanks Allan, I'm going to flag this message to refer to again and again. Especially the stdin <<< which i keep forgetting about.

Please feel free to keep the tips coming ;)

I generally avoid commenting on code unless I'm asked, but here's a few tips which I think will be useful in a lot of TM-related shell scripts, don't take it personal that this was triggered by your script! :)

The shell is capable of doing replacements in variables. There's a few different forms, for this one, one can do: ${variable%suffix_to_remove}, e.g.:

${TM_FILEPATH%.tex}.pdf

Another form is (for single replacement): ${variable/search/replace} and to replace all instances it's: ${variable//search/replace}.

Another neat thing is that we can set stdin for a command to a string using <<<, for example:

perl <<<$TM_FILEPATH -pe 's/.tex$/.pdf/' | xargs

Kind regards Allan

Yes but remember those are features specific to bash, so your shells might not have had them. info bash has a lot on this, but it's a rather poorly organized document IMO.

Just something I'm curious about -

When you select 4 full lines (for sake of argument) and enter column mode, the caret spans 5 lines (one below the previous selection).

Is this intentional?

I already bugged Allan about this.. ;-). It is due to the fact that when you've selected four full lines, the cursor is internally placed at the start of the 5. even though it's not visible.... But I think maybe it should only select 4 lines in column mode in that case.

Try placing the caret at column 2 and use shift arrow down a few times, you'll get (X shows the selection):

XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XX

Pressing option once turns this into:

| | | |

This does IMHO make perfect sense, especially if you couple it with column-movement, or if you start with the caret at the last line and instead use shift arrow up.

Making the exception only when caret is at column 0 still would give a problem with column movement, e.g. if you have:

|foo bar fud

or

foo bar |fud

In first version you can use option-shift down + option and in the second you can use option-shift up + option both to get to:

|foo |bar |fud
