<p dir="auto">That is not what I understand by a read-only mode. If a file is opened as read-only, the user should not be allowed to make any edits.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you are happy with just a warning/dialog during save, you can <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">chmod u-w</code> a file, and TextMate will not allow you to save it without first confirming that you want to make the file writable.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can make a command that toggles the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">w</code> flag for the current file and bind it to a hotkey, for example something like:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">#!/bin/sh
if test -z "$TM_FILEPATH"; then
echo "There is no file"
elif test -w "$TM_FILEPATH"; then
chmod u-w "$TM_FILEPATH" && echo "$TM_DISPLAYNAME is now read-only"
else
chmod u+w "$TM_FILEPATH" && echo "$TM_DISPLAYNAME is now writeable"
fi

<p dir="auto">Set the command’s output to show as tool tip, then you get informed about the new state of the current file after toggling ro/rw mode.</p>
