Subtle Gradient has a post about pimping out your favorite mac os apps ui’s. Think I’ll be hitting up the hack for my Text Mate ui. I hate that the fonts and colors in the drawer don’t match my editing area and I also hate how small the fonts are. I have my fonts jacked up to 16 so that I don’t throw my back out every time I want to code from leaning into my computer screen!
Create TextMate todo list to keep track of your work
How to…do… a TODO, FIXME and CHANGED in TextMate comment for other developers in your office, network, whatever… So you’ve got an html, php, erb, python, ruby etc file. Just add the appropriate comment for your language followed by TODO, FIXME or CHANGED like this:
The within your project you can either hit; (Mac) shift+ctrl+t or go to; Bundles -> TODO -> Show TODO List
Which will bring up a window with all the TODO, FIXME or CHANGED items within your project. This makes it easy to find areas than need work or tell the other developers in your team wtf is up.
TextMate desktop shortcut image
I just made a switch to TextMate for my editor of choice and found a sweet shortcut png file for my desktop. When ever I need it I just use expose on my MacBook Pro and walla! Easy shortcut help. Makes life so easy breezy.
