The TextMate service does not appear on my services menu. TextMate was installed a couple of weeks ago, and I've logged out and logged in a couple of times since then and still nothing.

I no longer include the service because I want to instead role out the Edit in TextMate input manager which currently lives in the bundle repository.

This has many advantages over the service, I probably will include it with next build or the build after that. Xcode savy users can already build and install it -- check the svn log for details.

Thanks, I don't have XCode installed so I'll wait.

I was hoping to use TextMate with Saft (a Safari plugin) to edit textareas, but it seems that Saft uses this (http://www.barebones.com/ support/develop/odbsuite.shtml) and Textmate uses this (http:// www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html) and the two are not compatible, right?

Thanks in advance,

PS: TextMate is awesome. I've been using it for real since yesterday, and I already added several snippets to the perl bundle, very very nice! (an old vim user) -- Pedro Melo JID: melo@simplicidade.org

They are the same. You may want to write the author of Saft and ask him to include TextMate in the list (many programs have a hardcoded list of ODB supporting text editors, and many still need to be educated about the existance of TextMate ;) ).

Yeah, already did. I'll talk to him again.

I just built the bundle under release mode in Xcode and put it in the InputManager folder in my user library. [...]

But I assume you didn't check the svn log for details? ;)

This is an input manager which is supposed to replace the Edit in TextMate service (when it's had a bit more polish and has been tested).

It has a few advantages: o doesn't block the calling application o does html -> text and text -> html conversion for Mail (which edits text via an WebHTMLView, which is a little messy) o gives as filename the window title + calling application as extension (so one can bind languages based on application name) o can be called without having to first make a selection o even works from within TextMate (e.g. bundle editor), although not before next build (save/close will deadlock in current public build) o the activation key doesn't need to be command + something

It is of course a hack. It adds an editInTextMate: action method to NSTextView and WebKit. To install build the target, then:

mkdir -p ~/Library/InputManagers/Edit\ in\ TextMate cd ~/Library/InputManagers/Edit\ in\ TextMate ln -s "/path/to/Edit in TextMate.bundle" "Edit in TextMate.bundle" ln -s "/path/to/source/Info" Info

In addition you'll need to add an entry in your key bindings file (~/ Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict), I have this:

"^E" = "editInTextMate:";

If all this sounds complicated, just hold off using it till it gets bundled with TM.

Currently it doesn't correctly “escape” tab characters when sending back text to Mail. The way it retains the calling view, and checks [view window] is also a little dirty, but it seems to work (and so it ought to).
