MacroMates

@_jakehope I’ve seen scripts to do the other way but even then I have never gotten one to not need manual intervention due to escaping differences.

@macromates vscode syntax TO textmate grammar/bundle. is there an utility to accomplish this? #missing

@byronrode Try again and leave it a while. It seems that the OS is doing sort of verification on the bundles on launch and it takes a while on first boot. After that initial launch it is fast again. If it doesn’t work write in to support.

Seems like @macromates haven’t committed any code to Textmate repo in over a year, and it hangs completely on Ventura. Sad as I’ve been using it for almost as long as it has been around.

@doekezanstra The command there is “Paste Without Indenting” though it could be overridden by a bundle command. To be sure manually select the menu item from the Edit → Paste menu. Note that you will have to hold down control to see the option.

How to crash Textmate: press ctrl+cmd+V. But what does that shortcut do, and why does it crash? (the shortcut is used in terminal for paste+escape, but accidentally performed in Textmate). @macromates

@doekezanstra The arrow keys will move through the list with the Return key confirming a selection.

@macromates Setting document type in Textmate can be done via keyboard. Example, setting JSON via shift+control+alt J and then add type 2, because I also have the javascript bundle (which is 1). Is there also a keyboard shortcut which let me cycle through this list?

@ixhybp7zu Have seen a couple reports of this, do you see it on every launch? What about a repeat launch right after quitting?

@sfenom Does this happen when saving anywhere, say to your desktop?

@macromates I am on 2.0.23. I have already tried replacing the app using the latest from GitHub.

@macromates I'm having issue saving files since the upgrade to Monterey. Related console output here: gist.github.com/wynnsyt/affa27…

@EEngin33r Change history since the last build: github.com/textmate/textm…

@macromates I cannot find a changelog for 2.0.23. Please provide a convenient link for it (from the home page) as I'm wary of sudden changes to long existing programs (hacking / other unexpected bugs). Esp. as there is no info on the blog, site news or twitter.

@zachwaugh @ttscoff @greystate News post on this: macromates.com/blog/2006/mult… and Jacobs page on it: hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/coc…

@ttscoff @greystate @macromates Thank you!

Anyone know if there’s a way to customize the characters inserted why type option on macOS? I want to customize so I could type option+<key> and insert a different unicode character or emoji. I can’t find where that mapping lives

Using @macromates TextMate2's RegEx Find and Replace to update some old python2 print lines to python3 print functions!

@FarbsMcFarbs Happy to answer any questions you have about this, direct messages are open. Best example language is JSON as it was written specifically to be a teaching example for a book.

Fellow Code Nerds: How painful is it to create a new TextMate language grammar? I'd like to syntax highlight my new language, but uh the first article I found said it took 'em three weeks. Was hoping it'd be closer to 3 hours. Anyone tried this?

@pyrmont Working fine here, perhaps a local or transient issue? DM if you are still having an issue.

@macromates Just a heads up that the download link on the main website isn’t working and the in-app update is returning an error.

@harpaa01 Larger directories would take longer to build a file list from… Could it be related to on-disk changes? Try a change when you know nothing has been written recently to see if it still happens. (In the entire project scope)

@macromates when I make a new file in the file browser I’m noticing a weird bug when the directory has a lot of files in it. I start renaming and the file just loses focus. Can’t reproduce on a smaller project.

@dChris @mittermayr Already available. :)

@DamienMcKenna @gabidavila @miss_jwo @jetbrains @code @Microsoft @googlecloud You could do this with a bundle item pretty easily, would just need to override the paste shortcut and edit the clipboard before insertion. It would perhaps have some limitations with multiple carets though.

@gabidavila @miss_jwo @jetbrains @code @Microsoft @googlecloud cc @macromates :-)

Request to all code editors, doc editors, and IDEs, please please have an option when pasting a string to replace "smart quotes" to normal quotes. @jetbrains @code @Microsoft @googlecloud Asking for a friend.

@ramsey Have not heard of this issue, there is a 2.0.18 available here: github.com/textmate/textm… No reason it should perform better but good to test. Please DM for more info.

@lukens @textmator @textmate_tips View → Theme, default is to match OS but you can set it to be static.

@veganstraightedge Please DM, they are open.

@harpaa01 If you are on the latest nightly/prerelease build there is an auto option, upgrade from Preferences → Software Update, then the option is in View → Theme

@macromates are there any upcoming plans to make TextMate better switch automatically between light and dark mode? Specifically, I’d like to designate default themes for each mode and have TextMate adjust accordingly when macOS switches from light to dark.
