Hi,
there is a discussion about LaTeX editors going on in the BibDesk users list (with some enthusiastic recommendations for TextMate ...). Let me forward one mail that could be interesting here as well.
To sum it up: - Someone is missing code collapsing for \footnote{} commands (very good idea if you ask me ... I've seen that it is already in the Wiki as a feature request.) - Adam Maxwell offers a completion controller that could improve the interaction between BibDesk and TextMate.
Best, Matthias

This does indeed look great. But does code folding work with \footnote in LaTeX? I haven't been able to set this up and I'm not sure whether it can be done. Any suggestions? If this works I'll switch immediately.
It does not at the moment (as far as I know, I definitely have not found all the magic yet ...), but the author of TextMate uses LaTeX himself (and BibDesk ...), so the chances should be good to get this feature implemented.
That does look nice. I wish it used the standard completion mechanism, though, instead of that big window (our plugin won't work with it). If he's interested, we have a BSD-licensed completion controller that mostly works...

That would be nice indeed, though I don't think it would be too easy, unless Allan changes how TM handles folding markers. I think folding markers need to be in separate lines, so we would have a chance for something like:
\footnote{ footnote text. We could fold this possibly. }
though this does not seem that useful. As it is, begin-end blocks are not even recognized as folding markers if they appear in the same line.
Let me take this opportunity to mention that another request from the wiki has been partly implemented ten minutes ago. There is now a macro that turns characters into greek letters, i.e. typing "a" and then ctrl-shift-g produces "\alpha" etc. It uses a command as a helper.

That sounds interesting. Do you have any links? I probably won't have much time to look into it, but maybe someone else would. So what is wrong with the interaction as it is? What would people like to see different?
Best, Matthias

Not really ... A great solution was if it would appear as \footnote{<+>}, with <+> being a button to expand the footnote text.

I don't know the details, but I re-forward your answer to the BibDesk list and ask Adam to get in contact with you.
Thanks, Matthias
