Text Mate Fullscreen on Lion
- jasontan 15y agoawesome, thank you. now if only we could do split panes...
- jarin 15y agoThis might sound kind of trivial, but the lack of split panes (and no hope on the horizon) is what finally pushed me over the edge to learning vim. Haven't looked back :)
- kennywinker 15y agoOk, this is the wrong place to ask, but when I'm using unix text editors I'm reasonably happy EXCEPT I don't understand how anyone could use a text editor without being able to click to move the insertion point where they want it to be. Furiously leaning on the arrow keys is way too slow. How does one solve this? is there a way to make the terminal accept mouse input? I've mostly only used pico/nano which I understand is similar to vi, et al. but maybe don't have a way to do this where other editors do?
- jarin 15y agoI use MacVim. Keyboard navigation works great for me when moving around small areas, but I use the scrollwheel and clicking all the time for moving around larger areas of a file (and for navigating NERDtree).
- cabacon 15y agoAs noted, you can run vim or emacs in a way where you can mouse where you want to go. In practice, there's usually a way to get to the place you want to be via some other command. For vi, you can usually use /search to get where you want. One of my most-used vi commands that I miss in other editors is f[char]. It moves you to the next instance of [char] on your current line. Things like f= or f( are great for bouncing through a line of source code. I wish textmate (chocolate, sublime, whatever) had a quick keyboard equivalent to that.
- _frog 15y agoYou might be interested in Chocolat[1], it's currently in alpha but I can get you an invite if you want [1]: http://chocolatapp.com/ http://chocolatapp.com/
- tjstankus 15y agoWell, if you're passing out invites... pretty please? I'm currently trying out different editors, not stuck on any particular one.
- alextgordon 15y agoYou'd perhaps have more luck if you had an email address on your profile ;) Anyway, here's a few invite links for HN: [Edit: Sorry, all gone!] I should point out that it's a bit buggy, and still an alpha. So don't expect to be able to use it as your everyday editor just yet.
- kennywinker 15y agoJust redeemed #2 on the list, got 1 invite on signup: http://chocolatapp.com/userspace/i/?e6cc78a7ef0db35 http://chocolatapp.com/userspace/i/?e6cc78a7ef0db35
- FuzzyDunlop 15y agothis would be spot on if it handled the drawer nicely and the opening of folders. Mind it seems that Sublime Text 2 also poorly handles new files opened when the app is fullscreen. A proper implementation would once again make TextMate unbeatable on OS X. Glad it's there in some way or another though. Using fullscreen a lot more than I thought I ever would.
- kanwisher 15y agoSame here, switched to Sublime and haven't looked back. Not happy with the Textmate2 situation
- gr3g 15y agoHave you tried using Missing Drawer Plugin for TM? I updated my post with details.
- davej 15y agoWorks well with the missing drawer plugin: https://github.com/downloads/jezdez/textmate-missingdrawer/MissingDrawer-0.4.0.tmplugin.zip https://github.com/downloads/jezdez/textmate-missingdrawer/M...
- ajross 15y agoWhat a bizarre packaging choice: bash/curl command to pull a shell script to pull and compile a github project which compiles and installs a Text Mate plugin. Yikes.
- epochwolf 15y agorvm and pow.cx also do this.
- msbarnett 15y agoThat's a little different, pow.cx and rvm are running installer scripts to get other scripts into place on your system and add them to your .bash_profile. This is having you run through a bunch of rigamarole to download and compile source for a plugin, and then triggering textmate to install said plugin, when you could achieve the same effect by distributing the binary plug-in and having the user double-click it.
- snos 15y agodon't forget the 'j.mp' URL-shortener!
- gr3g 15y ago1) This installs EGOTextMateFullScreen plugin (https://github.com/enormego/EGOTextMateFullScreen https://github.com/enormego/EGOTextMateFullScreen). I didn't write it and author didn't put a package out. 2) URL Shortening? I didn't have time to write the CSS to format my code on the page. The long links breaks the layout 3) How does it matter how its done as long as it works, especially when I spent more time responding to your comment than writing that script.
- msbarnett 15y ago> How does it matter how its done as long as it works Executing unknown scripts hiding behind obfuscated URLs is generally not considered a good idea. Given that this is a very non-standard and decidedly odd way of distributing a TextMate plug-in, a large degree of skepticism is warranted.
- alexgodin 15y agoSimple solution. Vim.
- hack_edu 15y agoSimple solution. Emacs. Oh, wait... Nevermind!
- kriardol 15y agoVim has a command for putting Text Mate in fullscreen on OSX Lion? It really does have everything.
- swindsor 15y agoWell, terminal runs in fullscreen, so yes. But, if you're using MacVim, the latest release supports fullscreen mode. And it's awesome. :) http://code.google.com/p/macvim/ http://code.google.com/p/macvim/
- kennywinker 15y agoSimple solution. BBEdit.
- RexRollman 15y agoDoes Lion's Terminal application have support full screen? If so, it might be interesting to use it with Emacs or Vim.
- sdfjkl 15y agoYes.
- metafour 15y agoSimple solution. http://wastm2released.com/ http://wastm2released.com/ Oh wait, never mind...
- redrory 15y agoA screenshot would be nice.

- Xuzz 15y agoMy app Maximizer can do this dynamically for pretty much any app on your system (including TextMate, but also stuff like Firefox or Spotify). It's SIMBL based, but the code is clean and hopefully open source soon: http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html
- mauricemach 15y agoI'm using maximizer with TextMate and Chrome. Works pretty well, thanks! The only caveat is that to see the drawer, you have to hide it and show it again.
- angrycoder 15y agoChrome has real fullscreen and swipe gestures if you are using the dev build.
- mauricemach 15y agoSorry, I'm actually using maximizer with Chromium 14 and the real full screen with Chrome dev. The only difference though is the "curtain" button, for which I don't have much use.
- sdfjkl 15y agoPiping things from curl into bash is about the dumbest thing you can do security wise. Except if you also use an URL shortener, which means that in addition to trusting the author not to be evil, you're also trusting the shortener service to deliver what you (or the author) expected.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoCoding in full screen? For elite hackers who don't need to test the thing they're coding?
- igorgue 15y agoI run my tests from VIM.
- rauljara 15y agoYou can also use multiple spaces. Fullscreen editor in one. Full screen terminal in another. Fullscreen browser in a third, to defeat the supposedly distractionless environment a fullscreen app does its best to offer you.
- kennywinker 15y agoWhatever I'm testing is just a swipe away. No big deal.
- gr3g 15y agoHmm.. Rspec + autotest + Growl

- patrickyan 15y agoChocolat (http://chocolatapp.com http://chocolatapp.com) seems like a promising replacement for TextMate, since TextMate 2 is vaporware. Lots of bugs right now though.
- hox 15y agoSublime Text 2 (http://www.sublimetext.com/2 http://www.sublimetext.com/2) seems to be more advanced and isn't excluding users from its beta.
- justinchen 15y agoDistraction free mode on Sublime Text 2 is pretty awesome.
- iamjustlooking 15y agoI really wish lion didn't make your second monitor useless in full screen.
- webfuel 15y agoIt's not completely useless, you can "click and drag windows and toolbars from the primary display to the secondary display" http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/11/multiple-displays-full-screen-apps-mac-os-x-lion/ http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/11/multiple-displays-full-screen...
- chc 15y agoAs far as I can tell, that piece is really deceptive. You can drag floating windows from the same application that would normally float over the fullscreen app. You cannot, for example, fullscreen TextMate on your primary display and have Safari or Photoshop on the secondary.
- Aramgutang 15y agoWhat assurance do I have that http://j.mp/text-mate-full-screen http://j.mp/text-mate-full-screen will not return "rm -rf ~/*"?
- spicyj 15y agoYou don't have that assurance whenever you install anything.

- moonboots 15y agoFull screen? stfu
- aristidesfl 15y agoWho cares about Textmate nowadays anyway?
