I'm not positive, but I think you're just out of luck on this one. It's a bummer, but you'll have to either drag with the mouse, or make an applescript to set the window bounds.

Oooh, that's a good idea. I didn't realize Applescript had that control over windows. A little googling and:

I'll make a few options for various window sizes I use commonly and just toss them into my personal bundle.

Thanks for the pointer. BTW, I just noticed that iTerm has a preference for "Maximizes vertically only" ... a similar preference might be a nice TextMate addition. Surely Allan can just point to the code and say "make it so." That reminds me, the TextMate bundle seems to be missing the meta-X do-what-I-want command. :-)

In my ideal world, Textmate would expand horizontally only as wide as the longest line of text when you clicked the zoom button.

You could do something like this as bundle command:

#!/bin/sh chars=`perl -ne '$m = length if length > $m; END{print $m}'` cat <<__EOF__ | osascript set fontscale to 6.25 set gutter to 54 set scrollbar to 16 set maxwidth to 1920 tell application "TextMate" set d to bounds of window 1 set l to item 1 of d set t to item 2 of d set r to l + (fontscale * $chars) + gutter + scrollbar if r > maxwidth then set r to maxwidth set b to item 4 of d set bounds of window 1 to {l, t, r, b} end tell __EOF__

Input: Document / Output: Discard.

It's not perfect but gets pretty close in the testing I just did. You'll have to figure out your own fontscale. To get close download FreeRuler [1]. Set your wrap column to 100 and make your right margin indicator visible in the TextMate prefs then just measure with FreeRuler and divide the pixel count by 100. Obviously adjust gutter and maxwidth as appropriate.

Though I can see how vertical only may also be useful, especially when writing text (e.g. LaTeX) instead of code.

Well I primarily use TextMate for Python and prefer lines no wider than 78 chars. In fact, people who code lines wider than that should be shot -- at least until TextMate's wrapping is improved. :-)

That reminds me of another nit ... when scrolling horizontally I'd much prefer if the gutter did not scroll out of the window frame.

This seems to work as a vertical maximize for me. Preserves the horizontal position and size, maximizes only vertically:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/osascript -e ' set screenHeight to word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | grep -w Height") as number

tell application "TextMate" set theBounds to bounds of front window set xPosition to item 1 of theBounds set windowWidth to item 3 of theBounds set bounds of front window to {xPosition, 0, windowWidth, screenHeight} end tell '

I bound it to ctrl-cmd-Z.

Amen. Take these as suggestions for 2.x. I've got my Applescript work- around for now.
