BBEdit 9

BBEdit 9 has just been released. Too many features to list here, but this caught my eye:

BBEdit now handles the (badly chosen, IMO) “txmt:” URL scheme. This allows properly formed “txmt:” URLs generated by the Ruby On Rails “FootNotes” plug-in (and some others) to open files in BBEdit and (optionally) select a requested […]

Clear Pond

A quick TextMate theme I knocked off since I need a light theme but hated the available white themes.

It is hosted at GitHub, so git users can get theme with git clone git://github.com/PhilGeek/clear-pond.git. Other wise, it can be downloaded here.

Duke Nukem Forever and TextMate 2

From Crackle: Jace Hall, Ep 1: DUKE NUKEM FOREVER - SNEAK PEEK!

Metablogging: Syntax Coloring

As I wrote in a previous post:

Syntax coloring is a feature of some text editors that displays different parts of the text in different colors depending upon the logical category of the text. This makes it easier to write structured texts whether these be code or markup. … Syntax coloring makes the logical […]

GitHub and TextMate

Are you a TextMate user and have a GitHub account? Then Dr Nic’s GitHub bundle may be for you. It requires the git ruby gem, so you need to install it first:

sudo gem install git

To install GitHub.bundle:

cd ~/”Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/” git clone git://github.com/drnic/github-tmbundle.git “GitHub.tmbundle”

If TextMate is running, execute the following line:

osascript -e ‘tell app “TextMate” to reload […]

Git Scatter Graph for TextMate

Here is a command for TextMate’s Git bundle, that’s, well, kind of useless but makes me happy. The code comes from Chris on the GitHub IRC:

require ‘time’ lines = `git log –pretty=format:%ai` times = lines.map { |l| Time.parse l }

dots = [] 0.upto(7) { |wday| 0.upto(23) { |hour| dots « [hour, wday, times.find_all { […]

The Power of Text Meets the Power of the Press

TextMate is used in the development of NY Times online. See here:

It’s our preference to use a text editor, like HomeSite, TextPad or TextMate, to “hand code” everything, rather than to use a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) HTML and CSS authoring program, like Dreamweaver. We just find it yields […]

TextMate, It’s in the DNA

As a testament to the power, flexibility, and ease of modification of TextMate, I draw your attention to a new bundle that allows you to do DNA Sequence Analysis with TextMate. It is cool to see the bioinfomatics people hack TextMate.

Plain Text Notes and Message URLs in Leopard

Leopard has a small feature that I have often longed for. All my notes are text files in markdown format. URI schemes extend the usefulness of the medium. With the file URI scheme I can link to other files, and with the mailto URI scheme I can send emails. But one thing that I have […]

TextMate Themes

Syntax coloring is a feature of some text editors that displays different parts of the text in different colors depending upon the logical category of the text. This makes it easier to write structured texts whether these be code or markup. The Live Parsing Editor written to digitize the Oxford English Dictionary was probably the […]

Nested Brackets and Regular Expressions

Recently on the TextMate mailing list Robin Houston generously offered an insightful explanation of matching nested brackets with regular expressions:

If you have ever studied automata theory, perhaps you remember that nested brackets are the classic example of something that can’t be matched by a regular expression. So you might be surprised […]

Folding Text

Code folding is a feature of some text editors that allows the selective hiding and displaying of the text being edited. This is particularly useful if you are working on a small subsection of a large, complicated text. Code folding allows you to display and work on the relevant portion of the text while hiding […]

TextMate Moving to Distributed Development?

See Allan Odgaard’s email here. Sounds like it might be awhile before this is implemented, if it is, so there’s plenty of time to learn Git.
