Errata for TextMate

#26926: I use Cmd-Shift-T to open a new terminal window. This is a global keyboard command (implemented by DragThing), and of course it conflicts with TextMate's Go To Symbol... keyboard equivalent. So, I'd like to change the keyboard command for Go To Symbol. Two issues arise: (a) how do I do this, and (b) what can I change it to that isn't already used by some other TextMate command? So, my suggestion: add a section on how to change keyboard equivalents, and add a list of all default keyboard equivalents.--Ben Kimball

#29197: A note: One is unable to use the "custom grouping" function when the toplevel of the project is a folder, like having a rails app as the top folder. The grouping doesn't work under that for some reason.

#26833: At the top of the page the keystrokes for moving a selection around are described. The up and down ones mention "(works on current line when nothing is selected)". However, at least for me, when I do this the current line moves up (or down) but the caret does not move, so if you move up again, it will basically toggle the line and line above it. If you have the line selected, then when you move it up the caret goes with it, so you can keep moving it up. Trying to do it without having the line selected was something I found very confusing when first playing with TextMate, since I'd move the line up and then try to move it back down, but since the caret hadn't moved I actually moved a different line down, e.g. with caret on line 2 below:

1
2
3

selecting CtrlCmdUp would give me:
2
1
3

with the caret on the 1, and selecting CtrlCmdDown would give me from there:
2
3
1

with the caret on the 3.

#26836: As mentioned on page 35, the behavior of Reformat Paragraph is hard to fathom if you column select from more than the first 'line' of a soft-wrapped line. As in your example in Figure 3.7 it looks like only those few words are selected but because of the soft-wrapping those the entire paragraph is on one line, and so it all gets reformatted.

When you column select from more than one real non-soft-wrapped line then only those lines will be reformatted.

In either case, soft-wrapped or not, only the lines that appear in the column selection will be reformatted. This makes sense, but since it isn't obvious it might be worth mentioning that on this page. Or perhaps the 'warning' paragraph on page 35 should be moved to page 42?--Dave Findlay

#26837: The first sentence reads "TextMate should select the entire line skipping over the first c to consume as many characters as possible." The use of 'skipping over' confused me at first, perhaps because I already understood greediness in regular expressions. On my first reading I took this to mean that the line was meant to start with a 'c' followed by the other characters, and so perhaps the instructions as to what to type in on the previous page might be wrong. I quickly realized that 'skipping over' meant 'rather than stopping at the first c'. Perhaps it might be clearer if the sentence read:

"TextMate should select the entire line to consume as many characters as possible, rather than ending the selection at the first c."

or something like that.--Dave Findlay

#29377: This is a correction to the Errata I posted earlier. The macro instructions work fine. When I actually type the regular expression into the search box it's fine. If I copy and past from the PDF, the ^ and the (?!...) that follows shows up on two lines. When I try to remove the space/linebreaks so that the regex shows on one line, it still doesn't work.

I've been having problems copying and pasting from the PDF...so please tell your users that this won't always work.--James
