SuperCollider/TextMate bundle

Contained is a SuperCollider bundle for TextMate. The bundle utilizes OSX's AppleScript to automate basic SC functionality, such as executing code, stopping playback and recompiling the class library, all using standard keyboard shortcuts, and all from within TextMate.

This bundle is still in development/beta phase, please report any problems or comments.

Prerequisites

SuperCollider - a recent build: http://supercollider.wesleyan.edu/ TextMate - http://macromates.com/ Git - http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/ or http://git.or.cz/

Installation

cd ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ git clone git://github.com/rfwatson/textmate-supercollider.git SuperCollider.tmbundle defaults write /Applications/SuperCollider/SuperCollider.app/Contents/Info NSAppleScriptEnabled -bool YES

The final command enables basic AppleScript functionality in SuperCollider, and is required. You may need to adapt the above commands to match your paths to TextMate Bundles/, and SuperCollider.app.

Usage

1) Launch TextMate. Open a .sc file. Ensure SuperCollider bundle is selected.

2) Launch SuperCollider.app.

The following key commands should work in TextMate:

ENTER - execute line, or selection if available CTRL-. - stop playback CMD-K - recompile class library CMD-D - open help SHIFT-CMD-D - open help browser CMD-? - post window to front SHIFT-CMD-C - clear post window CTRL-ALT-CMD-S - switch to SuperCollider mode (should be automatic with .sc files)

LIMITATIONS

Selecting a word and searching the help file, or class definition, for it is not yet implemented. For the meantime, I find the quickest way to access these files is to copy them somewhere in your home directory, and then use Spotlight to search for them (shortcut: CMD-spacebar).

TextMate does not handle .rtf files, so old source files may need copy-and-pasting into TextMate, or otherwise converting to plain text.

TODO

• Tidy up syntax highlighting, is somewhat messy at the moment
• Enable searching of help files/class defs from within TextMate
