MacroMates TextMate

Software Overview

MacroMates TextMate is a robust text editor that enables various tasks, such as source code editing, writing screenplays, running SQL queries, and creating blog entries. The program supports all major programming languages and runs on the Mac platform. As of version 2, MacroMates has made the TextMate source code available to developers who want to make custom modifications to the editor.

TextMate allows you to use commands, macros, templates, and snippets to help organize and create source code. TextMate offers a "find and replace" feature that quickly finds and replaces text with several filter options. The text editor features the ability to highlight and edit multiple blocks of code by using additional cursors. TextMate also offers clever completion, which predicts what you are going to type to help you code more quickly.

TextMate allows you to extend the editor with Bundles, which are similar to plugins. You can create custom bundles tailored to your development needs or import other users' custom bundles. Examples of bundles include language grammars, macros, code snippets, commands, templates, and other shortcuts. In addition, each Bundle offers hotkeys you can trigger to quickly insert into your code, which helps you develop source code more efficiently.

Summary

MacroMates TextMate is a valuable tool for any developer. It supports all major programming languages, key code shortcuts, and Bundles for extending the editor. Any Mac designer or developer working in code should give this editor a shot.
