Hi all, I'm new to TextMate for Latex (and actually I'm new to Mac!) so excuse me if my question is "stupid". I've been searching for an answer to my question in the net for a lot but I didn't find anything. Before switching to TextMate I tried TexShop and I really like its Latex Panel (under the Window menu) because it helps you when you don't remember a mathematical symbol or something like that. My question is: does it exist something similar in TextMate? I like TextMate for the project option and the tab navigation but I miss the Latex panel and I can't prefer any of the 2 editors. What's your opinion? Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it. Michela

I'm sorry, but nothing like that exists for Textmate. I suppose one could create something like that for TextMate, but no one has taken the time so far to do it.

There is no menu. However it is worth noting that that there are a number of snippets available for LaTeX. For more information see section 5.1.1 "Completing Commands and Environments" of the bundle help. Briefly this is used by typing a key defined in the latex_config.plist and hitting ⌘⇧} for a command and ⌘⇧{ for the environment. Most of the keys are fairly obvious such as: a ⌘⇧} --> \alpha or: sec ⌘⇧} --> \section. These can be customized further by selecting Edit Configuration File in the Latex bundle menu.
A note to someone with commit access there appears to be a documentation bug on this. In the above mentioned section the sentence:
They are Insert Environment Based on Current Word, bound by default to ⌘{, and Insert Command Based on Current Word, bound by default to ⌃⌘}.
Should be,
They are Insert Environment Based on Current Word, bound by default to ⌘{, and Insert Command Based on Current Word, bound by default to ⌘}.
It would be even clearer if the ⇧ was included, but I understand that to get { one needs to press ⇧.

You can find something similar in a Dashboard widget, such as my Symbols widget:

It's not as good as TeXShop's LaTeX Panel, since it doesn't have nearly as many symbols, but it's quite easy to add them yourself, and I will accept suggestions/patches. It also has special support for TextMate; see the info menu on the reverse side of the widget.
