I believe you can right click on the item when it's in the project drawer, and choose "Open With..." and it should have CSSedit as a choice for CSS files. If you're editing the file outside TM, it should refresh within TM, when you switch back I believe.

I could not get this to work. I'd love to have that option though if anyone else can sort it out.

Step 1.

close textmate.

step 2

Open finder, browse for a CSS file, ctrl click and get info - set the open with option to CSS Edit and apply to all files of type CSS

Yup, I've just done that. I thought of that whilst walking my son to school and could only hope I'd get the solution posted first. Obviously this works for setting the external editor for image files as well.

Anyway, thanks Tony; excellent as usual.

On the other hand it would also be possible to use CSSEdit as CSS editor for CSS definitions specified inside an HTML file. You select the CSS stuff, the selection will be saved as /tmp/tm.css, this file will be opened in CSSEdit, and if you save that file and close CSSEdit the content of /tmp/tm.css will be inserted in TM.

If someone is interested here's the code: [I do not have CSSEdit but it should work and, of course, the code can be optimized ;)]

tmcommand: Input: selection or nothing Output: replace selected text Save: nothing Command:

# get indention HEAD=$(echo -en "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" | head -n 1 | perl -ne 'm/ ^([\t ]*)/;print $1')

# write selection to file echo -en "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" | perl -pe "s/^$HEAD//g;" > /tmp/tm.css

# open CSSEdit open -a CSSEdit /tmp/tm.css

# wait for CSSEdit (it must be quitted!) while [ `ps -ax | grep 'CSSEdit.app' | wc -l` == "1" ] do sleep 0.5 done

# write file back to TM if [ -f /tmp/tm.css ]; then cat /tmp/tm.css | sed "s/^/$HEAD/" rm /tmp/tm.css else beep exit_discard fi

Scope Selector: source.css

To kill this command simply press APPLE+.

I tried the code, as Hans writes in the comment, you need to quit the app not just close the window. It would be great if closing the window writes back to TM document.

Well, without AppleScript I guess it's a bit tricky to do it, but you can try the following:

... # wait for CSSEdit (it must be quitted) touch /tmp/tm_css.tmp while [ `ps -ax | grep 'CSSEdit.app' | wc -l` == "1" ] do sleep 0.5 [[ /tmp/tm.css -nt /tmp/tm_css.tmp ]] && break done

# write file back to TM if [ -f /tmp/tm.css ]; then cat /tmp/tm.css | sed "s/^/$HEAD/" rm /tmp/tm.css rm /tmp/tm_css.tmp else beep exit_discard fi ...

That means, IF you quit CSSEdit OR you save the document in CSSEdit, TM will get the current content. But this works only once. Once you have saved that file TM won't be notified about further changes. One could write an HTML output window command, where you define a JavaScript loop using TextMate.system() as a kind of a listener, but I do not know how stable and/or useful it will be.

Maybe to use AppleScript would be better. But, as I already mentioned, I do not have CSSEdit.
