Hi,

Is there a function to make TextMate 2 opens a certain file type using a specific theme? e.g. there is the default theme and then you can set TM to open html files using another theme.

Best, u

PS: I need it!! I do not know why only few Text Editors have this feature…

This is what I have in `~/.tm_properties` to make certain types open with a light theme.

~~~ini [ text.plain,text.html,text.mail ] theme = "3A9E8876-6DBD-4696-871F-95D340F8BA27" ~~~

As you can see, you need to provide the UUID for the theme, not the name.

Hi,

I found the Global.tmProperties file. It does work. This is my “configuration”:

[ source.c ] theme = "71D40D9D-AE48-11D9-920A-000D93589AF6" tabSize = 4

However, I didn’t manage to have this configuration to work for other formats too. e.g. [ *.c,*.cpp ] does not work neither do [ source.c, source.cpp ] and [ text.c, text.cpp ]. What am I missing?

Best, u

Hello,

I found a solution.

[ *{c,cpp} ] tabSize = 4 theme = 71D40D9D-AE48-11D9-920A-000D93589AF6

Hope it will be useful to someone :)

ate Umberto,

TextMate does open different files in corresponding modes. I don't think you can change the Theme depending on file type, if only because of the complexity and the requirments for Themes to be available.

I also don't see the necessity, as the modes are very helpful alread and can even be triggered in pipe mode with the -t parameter.

This bash code tells you what modes are currently available:

find ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles \ -depth 1 -name '*.tmbundle' -exec bash -c ' tput bold; echo -n "$(defaults read "{}/info.plist" name): "; tput sgr0; echo $(if cd "{}/Syntaxes" 2>/dev/null; then for syntax in *.plist *.tmLanguage; do if [ -f "${syntax}" ]; then /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c \ "Print :scopeName" "${syntax}" \ 2>/dev/null \ | grep -v "[{}]"; fi; done; fi)' ; \ | sort -f

[ *{c,cpp} ] tabSize = 4 theme = 71D40D9D-AE48-11D9-920A-000D93589AF6

The thing in the square brackets is a [file system glob](https://macromates.com/textmate/manual/references#glob-string), which is what you currently use, but the one above also match files like `fooc` and `foocpp` (as there is no dot in the glob).

So instead you should want to use:

[ *.{c,cpp} ] tabSize = 4 theme = 71D40D9D-AE48-11D9-920A-000D93589AF6

As an alternative to a file system glob, it is possible to use a “scope selector” which would be `source.c` and `source.c++`, for example:

[ 'source.c, source.c++' ] tabSize = 4 theme = 71D40D9D-AE48-11D9-920A-000D93589AF6

The advantage with this is that it will target all C and C++ files, even if they do not have a `.c` or `.cpp` extension.

Hi,

Yeah I knew that and in my properties file I wrote like you did. I already sent the mail then. Anyway thank you.

About the source, I didn’t know that! (About it can match the language also if the extension is different) And I didn’t know you can list them all together with quotes neither.

Thanks

It may seem to work, but it shouldn’t, that is, `source.*` will match all `source` documents (as opposed to `text.*`), the following braces are non-sensical, and the comma will be interpreted as scope selector delimiter.

Either use a file glob or use scope selectors.

For more information about scope selectors I suggest these two resources:

Eventually I made an XML theme that looks like the one in the old online Android developers portal.
