Failure running “Environment Based on Current Word”. - TextMate

27 Feb 2021


      I am using Textmate for writing LaTex texts and I recently found that I can used a shortcut for completing environments (the help says "by default to cmd and < " but it turned out to be ctrl and <). Still, I get an error message that I did not find in the mailing list:
Failure running “Environment Based on Current Word”.

Unfortunately, I do not understand the source code so I do not know what to do. If I edit the command I see
#!/usr/bin/env ruby18
SUPPORT = ENV['TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT']
require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/ui'
require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/exit_codes'
require SUPPORT + '/lib/Ruby/configuration.rb'
@plist = Configuration.load
shortcuts = @plist['environments']
lshortcuts = @plist['labeled_environments']
if ENV['TM_SCOPE'].match('beamer') then
  shortcuts.update(@plist['environments_beamer'])
  lshortcuts.update(@plist['labeled_environments_beamer'])
end
name = STDIN.read
cmd = nil
if name == "" then
  arr = ["custom…",nil] + (shortcuts.keys+lshortcuts.keys).sort
  ind = TextMate::UI.menu(arr)
  TextMate.exit_discard if ind.nil?
  if ind == 0 then
    name = ""
  else
     name = arr[ind]
  end
end
options = Array.new
for key in shortcuts.keys do
  if shortcuts[key]['triggers'].index(name) then
    options << {:cmd => key, :setting => :no_label, :content => shortcuts[key]['content']}
  end
end
for key in lshortcuts.keys do
  if lshortcuts[key]['triggers'].index(name) then
    options << {:cmd => key, :setting => :label, :content => lshortcuts[key]['content']}
  end
end
opt = case options.length
when 0
  nil
when 1
  options[0]
else
  ind = TextMate::UI.menu(options.map { |opt| opt[:cmd] })
  ind.nil? ? nil : options[ind]
end
if !opt.nil? then
  print "\begin{#{opt[:cmd]}}"
  print "\n" if opt[:setting] == :no_label
  print opt[:content] || "\t$0"
  print "\n\end{#{opt[:cmd]}}"
elsif name == ""
  print "\begin{${1:env}}\n\t$0\n\end{${1:env}}"
else
  print "\begin{#{name}}\n\t$0\n\end{#{name}}"
end
Can anybody point me to something I understand?
