By default TextMate won’t show hidden files (files starting with a dot) in the file browser. It’s possible to configure TextMate to show some of these files anyway, I’ve done that for files like .travis.yml. When doing a project wide search it won’t search those files, even though they’re visible in the file browser. Is that a bug, missing feature or an additional setting?

The file browser has its own glob: The contents of the “matching” field.
Since `*` does not match hidden files, you will need to also update this pattern to include `.travis.yml` and friends.
It’s problematic to combine the file dialog’s glob with the global include/exclude patterns, because it would then be hard to limit the set of searched files without also editing the global patterns.
What could perhaps be an option is to allow enabling/disabling the find dialog’s pattern, so when disabled, it would use the global patterns. Perhaps empty pattern should just be = use global patterns.
Personally though, I basically always have custom find dialog patterns for my various projects, e.g. exclude `vendor/`, generated content, etc.
Though let me also say that I do think that there are too many include/exclude patterns that can be configured in TextMate, it’s something I would like to simplify, and I’ve added a note about this issue to my design document.

Are you referring to the “matching” field in the search dialog? Is this possible to configure globally? Ideally I would like to .travis.yml to always be included, regardless of what I have in the “matching” field.

Try run this in a terminal:
defaults write com.macromates.TextMate "Find in Folder Globs" '{ default = ( "{*,.travis.yml}" ); }'
Then the default pattern should be `{*,.travis.yml}` but if you make changes to the pattern via the Find dialog, it’ll only be for the current project folder.
I’ll give it a try, thanks.
No luck here.
After executing below command, a line is indeed added to com.macromates.TextMate.plist:
``` ExpandedURLs = ( "file:///Users/rob/.julia/dev/CmdStan/docs/ file:///Users/rob/.julia/dev/CmdStan/docs/", "file:///Users/rob/.julia/dev/CmdStan/docs/src/ file:///Users/rob/.julia/dev/CmdStan/docs/src/" ); "Find in Folder Globs" = { default = ( "{*,.travis.yml, .git}" ); }; LRUDocumentPaths = ( "/Users/rob/Library/Preferences/com.macromates.TextMate.plist", "/Users/rob/.julia/dev/CmdStan/docs/make.jl", ```
But neither .travis.yml nor .git show up in the File Browser. Would be really nice though!

Hi Rob,
The file browser visibility is a separate setting. You can set it in Preferences » Projects » Include files matching. I’ve set it to {*,.*} so it shows all the files in the file browser.
As far as I know, the Include files matching setting is saved in the include property in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Global.tmProperties.
Regards Claudia

I tried the new setting in tc.14. That’s not really the behavior I was looking for. Ideally I would like a set of hidden files to match when the “matching” field is set to “*”. What will happen is that sometimes I want to search in a limited set of files, then I change the “matching” field. Then I want to go back and search in all files, then I change the “matching” field to “*”, this is where I want some of the hidden files to be included. I don’t want to have to type out all of those hidden files every time do this. I know there’s a history, but contains a limited number of entries.

It sounds like you would like to define what `*` means so you can type `*` as shorthand for a predefined glob.
I think this is what is normally handled with history, which TextMate already supports.
I use history for find globs a lot myself, and have not found that commonly used patterns are pushed out, if that is really the case, perhaps a better solution is to make history items sticky or extend the list of kept globs.

Yes, exactly.

I think it’s faster for me to just type “*” then to look for something in the history. But if there was a separate UI element that would get me this glob pattern, that would also work.
