digitalmars.D - Are people using textmate for D programming?

Hi everyone,

I would like to get an idea how many people are using Textmate as 
editor in Mac OS X. I am keen to improve the current bundle. 
Especially the syntax highlighting seems to be stuck somewhere in 
D1 or so... also, it'd be great to have some command to run 
unittests and code-coverage...

I can just proceed and suggest improvements (the bundle is on 
github), but learning about other people using it would increase 
my motivation :-)

I'm using it. I have made some improvements to the bundle as well. I 
have updated the build and run commands.

The build command will look for a shell script in the project with the 
name "build.sh".

The run command will do the same but look for "run.sh". If no run.sh 
file exists it will run RDMD on the current file.

Both commands will properly handle compile errors and runtime exceptions 
by creating links back to the source code.

Unfortunately I never made the changes under source control. But I put 
the whole bundle here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18386187/D.tmbundle.zip

Note, this bundle is for TextMate 1.5, if there's any difference.

I've started using TextMate recently. I added some code snippets, 
but don't really know anything about the bundle stuff. Fumbling 
in the dark I managed to change the bundle indentation rules to 
make switch cases indent to the switch column, and I added some 
missing keywords for syntax highlighting though. Any improvements 
to the bundle highly appreciated.

Ah that's cool. Why don't you fork the repo and send a pull 
request with these changes? It's pretty much these small changes 
(keywords, indentation) that I had in mind... they add up over 
time.

All the keywords seem to be there, indentation works etc.

Sublime Text does from time to time annoy you about buying the

OK, you convinced me to try. But my SublimeText OSX installation does 
not contain the D.tmPackage file described at 
https://github.com/alexrp/st2-d. Where do I put it?

ST2 and ST3 have built-in D Syntax highlighting.
ST3 now in the beta stage, but have improved mac os x support. 
ST3 beta for registered users only, but it's worth the money.

I found it through: Sublime Text 2 -> Preferences -> Browse 
Packages...

That opens finder at ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 
2/Packages/

There's a folder called D, which holds D.tmLanguage file among 
other things. I just replaced that and removed D.tmLanguage.cache 
file and restarted ST2 to force a refresh.

I knew the config had updated due to the fact that keyword pure 
was colored like a keyword. In the default config file that was 
one of the keywords missing. Also you can check that ST -> View 
-> Syntax has 'D' checked when a d-file is open.

Yay to that, looks like my install is in good shape. I guess I'll pester 
y'all with more question.

You know what would be awesome? If we had a DDoc (sic!) mode for Sublime 
Text whenever .dd documents are opened.

Also, is it possible to switch to an alternative syntax inside D comments?

I would guess so. At least it's possible in TextMate. You would probably 
need a specific character to indicate that the text that would follow 
should be parsed as a different language.

According to:

http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/packages.html

...you create a new folder called "D" under the:


and put the "D.tmLanguage" file to that "D" folder and it should 
override the default one.
