Hi All,
I am creating snippets and I was wondering if there is a way to force tabs
to follow similar lines...
Sample
Snippet 1
mytext -> -> -> Text
Snippet 2
(listens to line above and uses the tabs necessary to align Text in next
line
mytexttwo -> -> Text
So it would look like this:
mytext -> -> -> Text
mytexttwo -> -> Text
I can create two different snippets that use 1 or 2 or 3 tabs as neccesary
but since i will never know what mytext will be I need to create the tabs in
some kind of dynamic way.
Any ideas?

You could maybe achieve this with some clever format strings, but
it's going to be easier (and clearer) to just do it with a command
instead.

hummm... thanks for the recommendation, I'll try to figure out how to do it
with a command.
Thanks!

A simple one would be:
unexpand -t $TM_TAB_SIZE <<'SNIPPET'
«your snippet»
SNIPPET
In «your snippet» you would use spaces instead of tabs and only start
columns at offsets dividable by 24, that would then convert properly
to tab sizes 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

Wow, this really doesnt make sense to me... time to hit the docs.
Thanks!

Out of curiosity, is it possible to move text to a certain column? I noticed
that I can get the information for the column where the caret is located at,
but not sure if we can send text to a certain column...

BTW that reminds me:
Pasting code with auto-indent enabled looses all tabs on otherwise
empty lines. That is quite annoying.

Not sure what exactly you want to do here, what does “move text to a
certain column” imply?
4:54 a.m.
for example is it possible to write a snippet to do something like...
text (move to column 100)moreText
does that makes sense? sort of tabbing but using column numbers instead
(margins?)

Other than actually inserting the required number of spaces, no,
there is no such shortcut.

I think this could probably be accomplished with a simple python (or
ruby) script that took the line as input, then did
print "%-100s" % thetext
or something like that and replaced the line? (or place it in a macro
that first selects the line, and the command replaces the selection...)
As for the original question, woulnd't it be failry straight forward
to have something like:
sometext⇥more text
somemoretext⇥and a bit more
whateverelse⇥some more
then opt-shift-up, and parse the selection through a small python
script that splits each line on the tab character, finds the longest
first half of a line, and aligns everything using spaces...
in fact, this seems to work as a command (takes the first tab it
finds in every line, and adds enough spaces before it so that all the
first tabs in each line align):
Command
Input: Selected Text or Nothing
Output: Replace Selected Text
Activation: Key Equivalent (i set it to cmd-opt-shift-r)
Command:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
selectedText = ''
splitMarker = "\t"
joinMarker = "\t"
if 'TM_SELECTED_TEXT' in os.environ:
selectedText = os.environ['TM_SELECTED_TEXT']
lines = selectedText.splitlines()
length = 0
for i in range(len(lines)):
sec = lines[i].split(splitMarker)
length = max(length, len(sec[0]))
l = "%%-%ds" % length
for j in range(len(lines)):
sec = lines[j].split(splitMarker)
sec[0] = l % sec[0]
print joinMarker.join(sec)
This is very rough, i wrote it while writing this email, but it seems
to work. Using it in the above proposed method also seems to work
(i.e. write all the data in a column block, have the first tab where
you want everything to align, opt-shift-up, opt-cmd-shift-R)
Note instead of the first tab, the align 'marker' can be anything...

Constantinos,
Thanks for the script, at first test it doesnt work but I'll dig into it to
figure out a way to make it work.
Thanks again....
