I am down the rabbit hole of melding #golang and #cuelang with a dash of #peg and a twist of #TextMate tmLanguage.json (but using RE2 not Oniguruma for reasons)

#MailMate, #TextMate, #GitX, #Go (1.20, not any younger) just work using a current version mostly. That makes it a lot easier to get work environment running. Seems the way to go. Only need to fix broken keybindings on #MacPass.

@kreideland ich benutze #Textmate unter MacOS

Is anyone else moving from #textmate to #zed?

I’d love to share our findings, improvements, tweaks with each other

E.g., snippets are there, command b doesn’t always hide/show the left pane, etc

I’d love to get all-in on zed, but between a couple decades of texmate muscle memory and zed still being new (and new to me!), I can’t quite make the jump

TextMate is and has been my go-to text-wrangling tool for a long time.

There are so many useful things I rely on, all built-in.

"Sort and deduplicate"

"Regex search and replace"

"Diff selection with clipboard"

"JSON reformat document"

"HTML Unescape"

rmate

and many more I can't think of right now...

And I just realised it can even function as a basic "notebook" (jupyter style).

Shell -> Execute line and replace with result

If you haven't tried it (and you're on Mac) give it a try, it's free and open source nowadays.

Development has mostly stalled but I don't mind, it's "done" and the stability is comforting.

Your #programming language allows nested comments? You are using #codium, #vscode or #TextMate? However your syntax highlighting does not yet recognize nested comments? #sourceCodeSunday

Fear not! It is simple to add.#Oberon

A lot of the main apps I use still work really well and I have then customised and tuned the way I want but they're all teetering on the brink of some brain-dead CEO's get-rich-quick scheme destroying them: #Firefox, #Thunderbird, #VSCode and even #Discord

But the last time I had an app that was absolutely solid and didn't keep needlessly changing was #TextMate back during the glory days of MacOS, pre iOS.

I want to start a club for the few people who still use #TextMate.

It would be called “Club Mate”.

Besides using #Intellij #IDEA at work (since 2003), I always use a plain text editor for various programming and "text mangling" tasks. Since Visual Studio Code is a lot below IDEA and too bloated for simple code/text tasks, I am looking for my new additional text tool. #TextMate was nice but is too slow and outdated, I don't like #Sublime for it's usability and colors. Currently I am trying #BBEdit ...

On the left, #VSCode; this app is using ~470 MB of RAM. There's a lot going on in the background here, a web browser engine, a JavaScript engine and server backend. On the right is Visual Basic 6 (#VB6), with a very large project open, taking up 42 MB RAM. Now this isn't even to complain about bloat because VScode performs really well and is very extensible. It's the only editor I've enjoyed using since #TextMate on MacOS;

Super interesting. I did not realize that #bbedit was still around, being used and being developed. It just got #chatGPT integration.

I never was a BBEdit user, and preferred #textmate for many years. Now full in #vscode

Lots of discussions about #TextMate in my timeline… is it just a New Year’s resolution from some people to my timeline, or is there something new that has broken that I have not yet catched up to?

#TextMate being mad at me :(

Failure running “Bold”.

What should/can I do? :(

Lots of love for #TextMate in my timeline. I too used it extensively since it came out up until @panic released Nova.

It bridges being a nimble text editor while scaling to “IDE” to quell any VS Code FOMO.

I even wrote the first version and currently maintain the Erlang extension.

I will never forget TextMate, though <3

This could help people be more aware of #accessibility. Tell #VoiceOver users what they need to know, that they can’t use that program, and if done nicely, maybe encourage developers to consider making their app more accessible as well.
The best editors to use with VoiceOver currently in myexperience, are #Nova by #Panic, and #Textmate.

Is there are place where people discuss #TextMate grammars – especially implementing parsers for them?

@Vaguery Sometimes I imagine the world where #TextMate kept up and got LSP, debugging, and other modern features. It's a nice timeline to think about. Chocolat could have been good too.

I think Nova is here for the long haul, but I am yet to get the Ruby debugger extension to work at all.

Hmm, is #Textmate abandonware?

@ttscoff@nojack.easydns.ca Remember #TextMate’s awesome ability to filter selected text through a terminal command?

*Please* tell me: Is there is a VSCode extension that does that same thing?
