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.

Soylent Green Update

Upgrading WordPress awhile back required me to restructure my directory. Most of the links were fixed, but Juan kindly observed that the link to the Soylent Green Theme was broken. For some reason, the original theme is lost (if only I had moved ~/Libray/Application Support/TextMate into subversion earlier). But an updated version can be downloaded […]

Soylent Green

TextMate’s themes provide syntax coloring based on scopes. TextMate comes with a number of themes, but more user created themes are available at the wiki. I have tried my hand at creating themes. Creating a usable and attractive theme is much harder than it might initially seem. (Hats off, then, to theme designers like Thomas […]

Allan Odgaard Interview

Rands interviews TextMate’s developer, Allan Odgaard, who drops some tantalizing hints about TextMate 2.0: Things in TextMate are generally triggered when the user does some form of interaction. For example, pressing a key, dragging a file to the edit area, or typing a keyword followed by tab and then based on the structural context (e.g. […]

Good news for text-editing writers on the OS X platform. The venerable Mac text editor BBEdit has released an update which includes native Markdown support and improved TeX support. From the release notes: The Markdown language module now supports syntax coloring. If you choose “Preview in BBEdit” when a Markdown source file is in front, […]

From Editors at War to Kantian Ethics

As a follow up to the last post about the latest manifestation of the Editor Wars, I want to concur with Erik J. Barzeski’s complaint about TextMate’s lack of chunk undo. However, having used TextMate’s character undo, I can see that, in certain contexts, it has its advantages. Personally, I would like the best of […]

Editors at War

TextMate has got some attention recently for its Halloween easter egg, mostly, but not solely, positive. (See this TUAW post and this post from the TextMate Blog.) This was reflected in the change-log removing the holiday stylings that some consider to be the Best. Change-Log. Ever.: [REMOVED] TextMate no longer pays tribute to human sacrifices, […]

TextMate and Bright, Patient Design

Randsinrepose has a post about a UI virtue of TextMate—Bright, Patient Design: Bright, Patient Design is knowing that you are going to need to tell people what they want, but having the patience to know they need to discover they need it. It is choosing to stay out of their way while they make this […]

LaTeX, Word Count, and TextMate

I love LaTeX. But some things that are easy to do are just not obvious, especially to the uninitiated. Like word count. Someone recently asked me how to determine the word count of a LaTeX document. The problem is that we want to ignore the LaTeX markup, so just counting ‘words’ with: wc -w is […]
