A weblog about TextMate, the Universe, and Everything
You probably all know snippets by now, those extremely useful tools that TextMate puts at our disposal. Garrett Dimon has a very nice discussion of them, and the manual section is trully awesome. This post shows you a tiny bit of what you can do using commands that behave like snippets.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The GTDAlt bundle now lives in the Subversion Repository of Bundles for TextMate. You can find details on how to access bundles this way here. The version on my website linked to below will NOT be updated any more.
I apologize for the inconvenience to those of you not using subversion, but I can assure you that following the above instructions is pretty painless, and the benefits to my sanity and general state of mind are too numerous to list here.
This is a general help file for the GTDAlt bundle, one of the two bundles for implementing GTD in TextMate. You can also access this file from within the TextMate bundle. This file consists of three parts. The first part is an introduction to the bundle, describing how to use it. The second describes its internals, describing how to extend the bundle. The third is an example of creating a new command.
You can also find some pretty lame screencasts here, as well as a converter to convert your Kinkless GTD project to this format here.
