1. How do I reformat a text paragraph to be within a
set width, like
80? On TextPad, on Windows, you could do that easily by setting the
default text width to 80, and reformatting the paragraph. I can't
find a similar 'text width' setting in TextMate. Where is it hidden?
Does someone have a command to do this? I can write my own, just show
me a similar example.
I use an external command with the Text::AutoFormat perl module, but
you can try the UNIX fmt command available on OS X.
Select the text you want to format, right-click, Filter Through
Command, and try it.
2. I have a single file of dairy-like entries. Before
I start
writing, I want to timestamp each entry. I am looking to insert the
following snippet:
"==========
YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS
"
How do I do that?
Define the snippet with the text above. Replace your YYYY... time
stamp with $(`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S'`)
You can also place a $0 at the point where you want your cursor to
end up.
When you create a new snippet, the text shown explains all these
options, BTW.
I am aware of the timestamp command in the Text bundle
but that only
inserts the calendar date, not the time, and I don't know how to add
the horizontal break before it.
The horizontal break is just plain text, you just type it.
3. I must say whereas the manual is very easy to read.
I find it hard
to find out how to quickly implement what I need.
I like the TextMate book,, it helps a lot.
Best regards,
