C# Bundle for TextMate (version 0.03, Released 4/18)

[Emanuel]

Update: Version 0.03 Available 4/18/2006

After playing around with 10 million other editors, I've decided to make a C# bundle for TextMate. If you'd be interested in using it, it is available here. (URL Fixed on 4/19 -- previously was a 404 error)

Currently this bundle adds to text mate:

• Syntax Highlighting for C#
  
• Syntax Highlighting for Unity Classes (thanks Neil!)
  
• Auto Completion for Unity Classes (thanks Neil!)
  
• Symbol Menu, allowing you to jump around
  
• Basic Snippets for C# -- short macros that save you time typing.
  

Version 0.03 Changes:

• Types are now correctly highlighted in the parameter list.
  
• Added new keywords 'set,' 'get,' 'as,' and 'throws'
  
• Numerical Constants are highlighted now (courtesy of Neil)
  
• Unity's types are now correctly highlighted. To use any Unity specific features from this version on, you must choose 'Unity (C#)' as the language for the file. The 'C#' language is used for pure C#.
  
• Unity's types can be auto-completed. To use this, type a method partially and press Escape. Continue to press escape until TextMate has chosen the word you desire.
  
• C# (and thus the Unity mode) has some very basic snippets defined for it. You can check them out in menu: Insert->Insert Snippet->C# . Snippets can be triggered by typing in the name found in parenthesis and then pressing tab. Snippets sometimes have multiple placeholders -- these can be accessed by pressing tab once for each place holder.
  

Known issues in 0.03:

• set and get are highlighted as keywords outside of properties
  
• properties are not included in the symbols list
  
• no support for generics, yet.
  

If you end up trying this and having feedback, I'd love to hear! I'll edit this post again when I add a new version. The scopes are still up for debate, but quite a bit less than before. In addition, I'm still experimenting with the snippets. Very interested in hearing what people like and don't like.

Enjoy!

Awesome! I just recently got hooked on TextMate too and got inspired to make a foundation for a Boo bundle.

For now, its just a copy/paste/edit of the Python bundle, but I'm hoping to find the time to add some Unityisms to it some day.

[Emanuel]

sweet. Thanks for the link. I'm hoping to do the same with my bundle as well. It'd be really nice to have fully functional bundles for Unity . Lemme know if I can help with anything.

What does this program have over SubEthaEdit?

This is pretty good. Thanks for making this available, Emanuel!

On the recommendation of certain friends of mine, I'm trying out TextMate at the moment, and this is certainly better than the standard Mono/C# behaviour. I can't imagine why the standard one doesn't bother to populate the function popup....

I've fiddled around with your bundle to add a few more C# keywords (as, get, set etc.) and Unity class names, as well as adding the latter for autocompletion. I can pass these modifications back to you if you like, although you might want to wait until I've understood how TextMate works a bit better, so that I actually know what I'm doing when I'm editing the files!

Incidentally, is it me, or does Unity not always notice when TextMate has saved the file? Sometimes it does, but frequently Unity doesn't respond when I hit save, and the script is only recompiled when I switch back to Unity.

Thanks Neil.

As far as I know, I didn't think that there was a standard Mono/C# bundle, which is why I ended up creating this one. If you know of another TextMate bundle, I definitely would love to try it out.

How did you add the set and get items to the bundle? What did you scope them as? I did not include set/get as keywords because they are valid identifiers when used outside of properties (and didn't get to detect them properly). I completely missed 'as' and apparently 'throw' as well, lol. I'll make sure those two get placed into the next version.

I'd be more than happy to use the your list of types for Unity. All that stuff in my version is going into a separate language (I'll most likely call it 'Unity (C#)') that will make reference to the separate C# language. That way, the bundle will do the right thing when you're using Mono and not Unity.

I'd also like to eventually change the behavior of autocomplete using TextMate to take what you've already typed into consideration when displaying the list of options. I get the impression that it doesn't do this on its own from reading the documentation. Its on my todo list somewhere.

Thanks a bunch for the feedback! =)

Here's a useful snippet for Textmate.

In the bundle editor, add a command "GoToDocumentation" or whatever you wanna call it. I assigned the keyboard shortcut Command + ' (same as Unitron).

The TextMate section of the user wiki has been updated to help keep TM bundle releases organized.

Please upload & maintain your TM bundle on the Wiki (filling out any missing info), rather than uploading here on the forum.

Your help will aid the effort to maintain a single source for TM Unity bundles, instead of having a bunch of misc. forum posts with fragmented versions spread about that users have to hunt to find.

Media Wikis are great for this sort of thing! Let's use it!

Thanks!

Any word on this gents?
