Tools: Textmate

* OSX

You can enhance TextMate with a Silverstripe-specific “Bundle”.

• Code Highlighting for *.ss files
• Unordered List Item
• Code folding for <% %> blocks
• Snippets for often used commands over tab-shortcuts (e.g. Debug::show() → ds)
• Templates for new files (DataObject class, Page Class)
• Outlining for <% %> blocks
• Documentation lookup on selected word (ctrl+h) in api/doc.silverstripe.com
• Live function lookup in project folder (over shell grep commands)

You can simply copy the files into your TextMate preferences directory.

svn co http://svn.silverstripe.com/open/tools/textmatebundle/trunk "~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles"

ACK is the “better grep” for TextMate: Ignores hidden folders like .svn and binary files, has easier to understand options like simple grouping of common extensions, and is overall faster.

Download Ack as Textmate Bundle

**ACK doesn't search SilverStripe templates (Extension: *.ss) by default, you'll need to add the following to ~/.ackrc:

--type-set=silverstripe=.php,.php5,.js,.ss,.txt,.ini,.yml,.xml,.html,.xhtml,.htm,.css
--silverstripe

Textmate keeps all official Bundles in their Subversion repository. Its easiest to check them out in the system-wide preferences directory (not your User folder) to avoid working copy conflicts.
