ok I’ve started the porting process and have discovered that GEdit’s snippet system and placeholder syntax is VERY similar although not exactly so adjustments had to be made but overall it can use the same type of stuff in the bundle. ||| The only downside is that ALL of the snippets have to be attached to a language and the editor has to be in highlight mode for that language or have them all in Global…which by itself isn’t a big deal but if you have multiple bundles the organization of them won’t be as well laid out as TextMate’s…however overall it does appear to be a very decent alternative for Linux. ||| also I had some ideas for new snippets to be added to both bundles…I’ll post them when I get them done.

to be honest I am not quite sure what all the bundles can do other than snippets so I can’t verify whether gedit is exactly like textmate or not (as far as bundles) but GEdit does support snippets. | it has placeholder support like textmate for the snippets so it could essentially work like textmate in that regard. | I figured out how to get the snippet code without the entities so I should be able to port the bundle although I am not using Textmate to get the info from the bundle so who knows really. :) | I’ll reply back with a download of the gedit “bundle” if people want it or if you want to see the difference between the two programs.

@Rott – Hmm. I’m not sure of a linux alternative to this. GEdit has similar functionality to Textmate? Or you’re just wanting the snippets and that’s it?

Hi,
Is there any chance we could get a list of the snippets inside the Google Code Wiki?

The reason I am asking is I would really like to use these snippets but I use Linux and unfortunately TextMate isn’t an option and there isn’t an alternative at all so I was hoping to make a port of your bundle to Gedit for Linux.

I looked at the snippet files but it uses html entities and no tabbing info inside snippets so it doesn’t work quite right for porting…it technically would work but I was hoping you could help me out on this.

Thanks for sharing your work here!

I would love to see an example extension built with this bundle tutorial – end-to-end.

Okay, I downloaded the bundle software but how do I use it. Do I need some other program to use this. Newbie trying to figure things out. Thanks

Hey Rick,

What theme are you using for TextMate that you show in the video? Is that your own theme or one we can get from Macromates ??

You have to copy it to your /programs/e/bundles folder
