![]() It might seem I little harsh to say no native offerings, but everything based on NSTextView is generally not much more than NSTextView which, while one of the best text editors that comes with a GUI kit, is not a feature packed editor for the power user.Īs for dismissing the Carbon editors which did exist: at that time Carbon did not support sheets and drawers, did not use the standard key bindings infrastructure, often used the older Classic spacing guidelines, etc. It was having worked with the Mac for maybe half a year that lead me to the conclusion, that if I wanted to make shareware for the Mac, a text editor was something where there was no native offerings, so definitely a niche to fill. ![]() RANDS: Tell us the story of the moment you decided to develop a new editor for Mac OS X.ĪLLAN: It wasn’t a singular moment. As I wrote about in Bright, Patient Design, this editor has filled the editor vacancy on my Mac OS X desktop and I was happy to interview its creator, Allan Odgaard, to learn more about the development of my new favorite tool. I’m doing less coding and more managing in my current incarnation, but I use some type of editor on a daily basis, so why the constant stream of semi-criticism of an application that so many people love? I’d been longing to seriously develop against this editor since a brief QA stint at Symantec in the early 90s and when the time finally arrived where I had a professional reason to do so, the editor just didn’t stick. See, there was one killer app that I’d been dying to try out on the Mac platform and the lack of any mention in this first piece is strange to me. There’s something missing from this first analysis. ![]() Once a TextMate bundle is added, DataGrip provides syntax highlighting for the file types registered with the bundle.I’m coming up on five years of steady Mac OS X usage and anniversaries are a time of reflection, so I went back to read my first significant article about Mac OS X. The OCaml bundle appears in the list of recognized bundles: In the Settings dialog ( Ctrl+Alt+S), select Editor | TextMate Bundles.Ĭlick and locate the desired bundle on your disk:Ĭlick OK to apply the changes. It now resides on your hard disk, and you only have to import this bundle into DataGrip.įind more bundles at GitHub or at Subversion. For this purpose, you have already downloaded the OCaml TextMate Bundle. Suppose you want DataGrip to highlight syntax of the OCaml files. Open the Installed tab, find the TextMate Bundles plugin, and select the checkbox next to the plugin name. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Plugins. If the relevant features aren't available, make sure that you didn't disable the plugin. This functionality relies on the TextMate Bundles plugin, which is bundled and enabled in DataGrip by default. You can also download and use custom TextMate bundles for other languages. ![]() All the available bundles are listed on the Editor | TextMate Bundles page of the Settings dialog ( Ctrl+Alt+S). ![]() Syntax highlighting for these languages is based on TextMate grammars, and DataGrip is shipped with a collection of grammar files for different languages. To learn how to describe languages using the TextMate grammar, see the TextMate official website. For a number of languages that are not supported in DataGrip, for example, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java, the IDE still provides syntax highlighting to improve your coding experience if you occasionally need to examine such code. ![]()
