[TxMt] Spelling and Printing

[Sascha Vieweg]

Hello

TM is really on of the best text editors, however, there is two 
issues unresolved for (the) years (of SL) now.

Issue one is TextMate's spelling behaviour, i.e., the automatic 
detection of the language of a written paragraph, see here:

http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2009-November/029964.html

TM does not detect the language I am typing in, perhaps because it 
uses a non-Apple document window. Anyway, always changing the 
system language to get correct spell check on the fly (as 
suggested in the thread) could hardly be a working solution. In 
addition, quite often I write source documents in various 
languages, e.g. English and German, and that makes a "one language 
per document" unusable.

There has also been an issue with an advanced print dialogue (but 
I cannot remember the posting). It is quite nice that TM adds 
headers and footers, however, TM does not print coloured syntax, 
and leaving a margin of about 1cm makes the printout unusable for 
punching and filing. In addition, 11pt Monaco is quite good on my 
screen but printing in that font size is rather a waste of space 
on the page. Of course, I know, that one may produce a html 
(nicely coloured, indeed), open that one in, say, Firefox, and 
print the html page.

Anyway, I was wondering if there is any progress on these two 
points, first, to get the apple multilingual spell check working, 
second, to provide TM with a print preference to set things like 
font, colours, and margins.

Any thoughts?

Regards
