Snow Leopard Bug

I know that some of you are already running Snow Leopard on your machines. You may have noticed a couple of bugs popping up in TextMate. The latest update (r1505) corrected a few things specific to Snow Leopart. I’ve seen a number of people come across this bug specifically, however. I frequently use Cmd+Right and [...]


Color chaning on the fly via cmd-shift-c

When working within TextMate I often find myself needing to change a background color or border slightly off of another color. TextMate has a great tool for doing this, here’s how to use it.


TextMate “Tip of the Day”

This may be a bit obvious to some of you but it’s worth mentioning anyways. Like many applications do, TextMate comes with a “Tip of the Day” built-in. I haven’t installed TextMate in years but I think that by default this is turned on when installed. Either way, it offers a “random” tip when TextMate [...]

I havn’t read it yet but it’s probably a great resource for those who spend a lot of time using TextMate or even those just wanting to [...]

A little while back I wrote about optimizing TextMate for continual coding around the clock. I’ve stuck with my custom theme since I created it and I love it. Well for those of you who may not be interested in creating your own you might want to check out a free theme sharing site called [...]


ExpressionEngine Bundle

I’m a big fan of EllisLab and their products. I think ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter are two of the best products a PHP developer can use. Naturally when I started diving in to ExpressionEngine a few months back I went looking for an ExpressionEngine bundle. It was quite easy to find one via Google and it’s [...]


Replace text within a selection.

Lots of times when using textmate you’ll find that you want to replace characters within a selected area and not the whole document. If this is the case make the selection of the text you want to replace within, then use cmd-f and launch the find/replace panel. Now, type the text you want to find [...]
