TextMate Hacks

• Universal UnComment Bundle (updated 12-23-04)
  • This is a TextMate command to toggle comment status of selected text for arbitrary languages. Install it by double-clicking on the ungzipped tmbundle.
  • It parses the filetype from the filename ending and checks if the selection's first line is a comment; if so, it uncomments the rest of the selection.
  • If not, it comments the whole selection, line by line. It tries to keep the selection's indentation.
  • If a language has more than one kind of delimiter pair, it will use the first pair in the list for commenting, and will search for all listed pairs for uncommenting.
  • Notice this last feature improves on BBEdit's Text->Un/Comment functionality.
  • The delimiters are stored in $markers in the format "a,b,c"=>[$first, $last], where each of the file endings .a, .b and .c will use that delimiter pair. Roll your own! (But let me know so I can update the bundle.)
• Perl Bundle (updated 12-21-04)

• The package consists of a syntax highlighting file and a few handy commands:
  • Perl Comment Toggle (turns uncomments comments, comments code)

  • Perl List subroutines
  • PerlTidy (requires PerlTidy from http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/, may need to tweak path)
