Hello!
I try to develop my own commands. So I'm new to Ruby, my commands sometimes are buggy. How can I easily debug my commands. How do you do it?

Depends of course on what they are doing, but for those which work on text, let it read from DATA instead of STDIN and put your sample input at the bottom of the script (after __END__) -- that way you can run it in TM and use the normal debug techniques.
Example:
# quote input/selection text = DATA.read # change to STDIN.read when deploying puts text.gsub(/^/, '> ')
