TextMate For Mac

Having the right tool for each task has the potential to greatly improve your productivity level, especially if you are writing code or markup text. TextMate is an unsophisticated text editor that allows you to use syntax highlight themes for various scripting languages.

The TextMate main window is focused on the text processing and eliminated all possible distractions. However, the bottom toolbar provides access to frequently used tools: you can change the scripting language and access their customization options, adjust the tab size or start recording a macro.

Of course, the rest of the TextMate features can be easily accessed via the app’s menus. Notable is the fact that you can use separate windows for your documents, or you can organize them by using tabs.

TextMate can be used to edit plain text and other types of data, but also allows you to process and highlight syntax for a large collection of scripting languages, such as Apache, Apple Script, C, C++, CSS, Diff, Git, HTML, JavaScript, JSON, Lua, Objective-C, PHP, Python, Ruby, and more.

The application is using powerful search tools (the “grep” command) and robust macros or snippets in order to help you automize repetitive tasks. The best part is that you get to record your own macros.

TextMate can use place holders in order to expand trigger words to code blocks, includes support for foldable code blocks, can run shell commands within a project, allows you to use visual bookmarks to quickly navigate a document and much more.

Whenever you are writing code, markup, or any other type of text, you need efficient tools to reduce repetitive tasks to a minimum. TextMate is packing a wide collection of such tools in a minimalist interface in order to provide an exquisite user experience.
