Textmate power editing for the mac1/10/2023 This book did the job, and now I use TextMate regularly. Stephen Hargrove System Administrator As an Emacs junkie, it takes considerable persuasion for me to even consider using another editor. I’ve read a substantial amount of material concerning both OS X and TextMate, but by Chapter 3, James had blown me away. Without saying it, James has made the case for TextMate quickly becoming the interface for 90% of what any OS X user will ever need to do. Ernest Obusek Software Engineer, Network Appliance, Inc. This book rocks, and James is my new hero. The book provided everything I needed to take full advantage of all that TextMate offers. This is not just a book, but a doorway to higher dimensional text editing! By the third chapter I was completely switched over to TextMate from Vim. What readers are saying about TextMate: Power Editing for the Mac If you are looking for a good reference book on the TextMate editor, definitely look into this one as it should contain everything you need. Although the book isn't a quick reference or a complete guide, it is very easy to find what you are looking for and contains a large amount of information along with examples. The final section explains how to write a language grammar yourself and provides a concrete example of such an implementation.Despite being somewhat of a manual, the book is very readable with pictures, simple explanations, and some jokes tossed in. The second section shows TextMate's strength in automating things you would normally type thereby saving you time and preventing typos. In the first section, Gray shows how to effectively use TextMate's project drawer for managing your work, explains TextMate's Emacs-like keyboard shortcuts, and demonstrates the power of the find and replace features with regular expressions. The TextMate gurus out there can even learn about building their own language grammars for TextMate to recognize.The book is organized into three major sections with appropriate chapters in each. The novice and average TextMate users will gain a breadth of knowledge about keyboard shortcuts as well as seeing how a few of the built in bundles can help them increase efficiency. James Gray has put something for every level of user into his book. TextMate: Power Editing for the Mac accomplishes exactly what it set it to - show you how powerful TextMate really is and how to use this power to do exactly what you want.
