Hi list, I have an idea for using TextMate as a live coding interface and I'm wondering if the project should be a bundle or plug-in. I've been poking around the documentation, but am not totally sure what's possible. Here's the idea:
I have some code that I'm writing in TextMate and want to evaluate it in another application, which is already running and listening on a port for any code that might come in to evaluate it. When I press Cmd+Enter, I want to be able to grab the currently selected text and send it over to the application on the proper port with appropriate message headers to that it's recognized as source code and evaluated as such. Ideally, the part of this that lives in TextMate should be running in the background and I wouldn't have to relaunch it every time I press Cmd+Enter, but I can live with running a command line executable to send off the code if need be. So, is it possible to even grab the highlighted text? Is is possible to pass to a command in a bundle? Can this be done with a plug-in? What are the pros and cons of bundles v. plugins? thanks in advance, wes _______________________________________________ textmate-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate-dev
