Hi,
Mail has this thing where by when you are typing and you are not sure of the spelling of the word (or even if such a word exists) you can press <esc> before yo complete the word & it gives you a pull down of various choices. Is this something that can be incorporated in the text scope of textmate?
(note: i know of ctr-apple-D which can check for the word in dictionary but that is not the functionality I need in this case - ie, since that assumes you already know how to spell the word...)
Thanks
danstan ps; interestingly the Mail functionality doesnt seem to work within a sentence.
Apparently, looking deeper into the TM manual it appears there is a way to do this at:
http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/preferences_items#completions
Haven't figured it out yet - it mentions though that what I was requesting should be the default (?) ... If so, does seem to be the case for me.
Another route in the meantime is to get Aylotts subtlegradient bundle which displays the action at a screencast he sent out about month ago - but which I had missed..
http://subtlegradient.com/articles/2006/10/30/english-word-completion- for-textmate-screencast
Will see if it works out for me..
(he Thomas mentions Alan pastie - where is it implemented within the system?) Can I just include that pastie in the bundle preference?
thanks again

Here is what I have done so far.. I downloaded Allan's Ruby pastie from
http://pastie.textmate.org/20239
Created my small snippet activated using <esc> with save = nothing; input = selected text or word and output = insert as text.
That seems to works for me.. guess later I could choose which scopes I want this to work for me...
(It seems to use the tm_dialog thing that was introduced recently, which frankly I had not yet gotten to look at, but which seems to be paying dividends already)...
I guess this is obvious to the superusers but just wanted to bring it up to anyone who might have been as baffled as I was.
I will investigate Aylott's extension when I get the time..
danstan ps: BTW, since I am posting mail in TM, this also overcomes failure for the word completion to work within MAIL itself sometimes (for whatever reason).

Hi,
This ability to do world completions seems to have suddenly become broken... I had enabled it earlier using a Ruby pastie [1] that Alan indicated to me a couple of months ago . & all was fine until recently...
Any help is welcome with advance thanks...
danstan ps: I never did get to attempting Aylotts version of word- completion via subtlegradient bundl

danstan ps: I never did get to attempting Aylotts version of word- completion via subtlegradient bundl
In line 7, change:
require SUPPORT + '/lib/plist'
To:
require SUPPORT + '/lib/osx/plist'
Thanks Alan,
That did it...
BTW, I just realized that Control-Tab gives the same word possibilities - has this always been the case or is this a recent functionality in TM?

That must be third-party. Try ⌃⌘T, click the magnifying glass and switch to “key equivalent”, then you can figure out where the functionality comes from.
This (the Ruby pastie) seems to have AGAIN become broken (as had happened previously) possibly with one of the recent textmate updates.
Alan helped with some change in the pastie the last time.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I get the message:

This looks similar to the error discussed a few days ago:
