Open in TextMate via keyboard

[orta]

Hallo,

I wrote a quick plugin to open files in TextMate via the keyboard because I'm not big on the whole drag and drop stuff when I'm dealing with lots of files. I've attached the plugin to this post.

To install drag it into the folder ~/Library/App Support/Path Finder/Plugins/ after unzupping.

This'll add a menu command called open in TextMate, and it will by default use Apple + K, though I think that's usually taken by connect to server, so feel free to change it in 'Set Menu Keys' window.

sometimes I post other Path Finder things on my blog: http://blog.ortatherox.com

Thanks, orta. I will definitely make use of this! I am a TextMate fiend, and anything to bridge the gap between it and the other software I use regularly is a very good thing! Thanks very much for sharing!

I followed these steps and even restarted partfinder.. but I see no new menu command.

I've tested this on two other computers, are you certain it is in the right folder? :)

Thanks for making that plugin. I'll try it out. Let me know if you have any questions about writing plugins.

Thanks Steve, I do actually, in one of your release notes you mentioned something about an overlay in the API, but I could find no documentation about it, what is it?

[Steve Gehrman]

It's in the SDK. Download that. http://get.cocoatech.com/PathFinderSDK.zip

There's a sample overlay plugin. You can build that and install it and try it, just make sure you change the NTPluginBundleInfoKey_experimental to NO so it will load. It's set to YES by default so it doesn't load for release builds of PF.

I can see the new entry in the Command menu, and it switches to TextMate when invoking it, but the selected file isn't actually opened in textmate. Any idea why?

Edit: nevermind, a reboot solved the issue
