Hi all,

Can someone please provide some applescript to open a new blank document in TextMate. I plan to assign this to a Quicksilver trigger so that a new text file is one key combo away at all times.

Cheers,

This can be done within QS:

control space

to call QS.

.

to go to text mode and type:

mate

Tab to next field and select

Run Command in Shell

Press enter.

Save this as a tab trigger if you like.

Best, Mark

Being picky, this isn't ideal. This creates a temporary file which is slightly different to a 'new document' that is only in memory and therefore asks me for a location to save on cmd-s.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Try this one: osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to activate' -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke "n" using command down'

I haven't tried using it myself yet, but you should be able to put a blank text document in ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/ Templates/ and then use the "Make New…" action. Not sure how it behaves as far as creating a new file vs. just opening a window.
