Using the Maximizer SIMBL plugin, TextMate will occupy the full screen.

In you hack, is it possible to choose the width of text mate window in full screen mode?

I like the ability to use TextMate full screen. I don't think that it is a bad idea to give users the choice to do so.

In my opinion, the full screen of the app pages is well implemented. It is almost like write room. Is it possible to have a similar implementation of the Lion full screen in Textmate?

It's possible to hack full-screen functionality into 1.5:

in Terminal type:

plutil -convert xml1 /Applications/Textmate.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Document.nib mate /Applications/Textmate.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Document.nib

Search for 'NSWindowBacking' key/value pair and after these entries, insert the following:

<key>NSWindowCollectionBehavior</key> <integer>128</integer>

Quit TextMate, and in terminal type:

plutil -convert binary1 /Applications/Textmate.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Document.nib

I'm still working out if this is a good idea or not.

Andy.

I'd prefer it to be like Mail or Terminal in full screen... full screen. ;) especially where long strings of code are concerned.

The reason it's narrow in Pages is because it represents a page format. If you change the format (i.e. paper size) or change the layout to landscape for example, you change its full page rendering.

Yeah, that sounds like the right way to do it (narrowing the width and centering it). I’ll look at how it works in Pages if I need clarification.

My main use for Textmate is in conjunction with Latex. I have two screens, one for the code and other for the .pdf render. I am using Lion and the Full Screen is a resource that interests me. I tried some "solutions" and I will describe them here.

Isolator: It is nice, but if you use a two screen environment it is not satisfactory. If I use the isolator in the screen with code, it will blank the other screen with the pdf also, so I can't see the pdf in the other screen. Isolator would be fine if one can use it individually in each screen.

EGOTextMateFullScreen (Full screen for Lion): As I told in an earlier post, you cannot center and resize the text mate window. Besides, the other screen is also affected and the pdf disappears.

Textmate-Fullscreen-Plugin:It is the best until now, because you can resize the window and it does not affect the other screen. The problem is that the background is not 'blanked'. It would be perfect if this plugin also turned the background of the textmate screen into black, just like in Pages.

While I was writing this post I realized that it is possible to adjust Isolator to affect only the main screen: defaults write eu.willmore.isolator HideOnMainScreenOnly 1

...

So with this option in Isolator, I recommend Isolator + Textmate-Fullscreen-Plugin

This combination allows you to resize the Textmate window, it leaves the second screen with the pdf unaltered.

The only problem is that everytime you get out of the full screen mode, and you get back to full screen you have to resize the window again.

You can use only Isolator, but this way you will always have the mac menu in the top of the window.

Best, S.V.

This is the result when we use EGOTextMateFullScreen. I would like something similar to the last png, from Pages.

People interested in this might like Doodim http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/products/doodim/. Looks like it dims everything but the focused app. It's not exactly full-screen mode, but it may be close enough.

(It may not even support Lion, I don't know. I've never used it, it's just something I ran across.)
