I'm just now playing with TextMate for the first time and, of course, had to futz with themes a bit to get to my preferred light-on-dark kinda coding environment....

Question: How do you tell what scope is under the cursor?

I found that I really liked Vibrant Ink, but it lacked scope definitions for Objective-C and some of the other modes I end up dealing with. However, the built in Espresso Libre did a pretty good job otherwise. Since copy/paste didn't work in the Prefs pane (Feature! Feature!), I ended up copying the various random settings elements from one plist to the other.

Being too lazy to actually sort out the dupes, I wrote a wee bit of python (you'll need PyObjC) that rips through the resulting plist and eliminates duplicate settings (names only).

It is dumb. It should normalize by scope. I should fix that. Actually, it really is broken -- it really should normalize by scope. Ah, well.. it'll limp along enough for now.
