Questions tagged [textmate]

TextMate is a text editor for macOS.

TextMate is a text editor for macOS, created by Allan Odgaard in 2004. Although it is still actively maintained, public-facing development was largely dormant for a decade after 2007, during which time many users migrated to other software. The current version of the software is 2.0.23.

The code is open source, and is hosted on Github. Questions about development of the editor and its bundles are on topic at Stack Overflow.

As an editor targeted primarily at the development community, questions about general use of TextMate are also on-topic. Please check end-user documentation for possible solutions before posting.

Why Emacs/Vim/Textmate? Isn't Xcode good enough?

Hi I mostly do C++, Objective-C programming. And I found Xcode plus an auto completion/macro plugin (Completion Dictionary) quite adequate. However, all people seem to praise over their pure text editors. I tried Textmate for a bit; liked its…
