LiveCode TextMate Bundle (v. 1.4.1)

This bundle is meant to be used for editing LiveCode script only stacks. It sends an update notification over a datagram connection to LiveCode each time you save a livecodescript file in TextMate using the appropriate key equivalent ⌃⌘S. Use a stack in LiveCode accepting datagram connections to be notified about script updates or use the Levure Application Framework, see note below.

Features

• Script error checking ("linting"), key equivalent is ⌃⇧V
• Update notification
• Collapsing Text Blocks (Foldings)
• Handler Pop-up
• Code Completion
• Snippets with Tab Stops and Placeholders
• TextMate Commands using the server engine (your PATH variable needs to include the path to the LiveCode server directory)
• Indentation
• Paired Characters

Requirements

• LiveCode Server version ≥ 6.6.0 (Install it somewhere appropriate.)

Installation

• Download the zip from GitHub, unzip it
• Change the file name from "LiveCode.tmbundle-master" to "LiveCode.tmbundle"
• You can install the bundle by placing it in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/. The ~ character in this path refers to your home directory.
• To use LiveCode specific TextMate commands and to enable linting add the server directory to the PATH variable in TextMate settings like:
  Variable Name:
  PATH
  Value:
  $PATH:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/LiveCodeServer
  Adjust the path to your needs.
  Add a variable "TM_livecode_explicit_vars" to TextMate settings and set it to "true" or "false".

Please rename your server engine to: livecode-server, even if you use the pro version.

As a start choose "LiveCode" or "LiveCodeDark" from View > Theme and "LiveCode Server" from the language pop-up in TextMate. See what happens if you type "com" ( write a LiveCode handler) and hit tab consecutively.

Note: If you use the Levure Application Framework, for update notifications to work you need to replace the Levure script "external_editor_server.livecodescript" in levure/utils/external_editor_server/ of your Levure project with the one included in the bundle.

Update

Replace the appropriate file in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ with the downloaded LiceCode.tmbundle file.

Linting

Use the key equivalent ⌃⇧V for script error checking.

Note: The linter code adapted to TextMate was taken from the LiveCode language package for Atom.
