Expression Engine Meets TextMate
ByIf you read my earlier post concerning my adoption of Expression Engine and have taken a look, had a play and realised just how powerful this platform is then you will be grafting away and wearing down the tips of your fingers (insider joke).
So it is always worth looking around for tools that may be of some assistance and then you just might get lucky.
Those of you who know me understand that I am no programmer (except for the occasional embedded system developed in Pascal and usually for PIC micro’s). But even I have been known to knock out the occasional hand coded site although that will likely decrease as my shift to EE increases.
Anyway I happened across TextMate which is an awesome editor for anyone involved in typing anything from text to a full on Ruby code block.
It was not long before I was hooked given the obvious efficiencies that this editor par excellence offered.
Anyway this post is not really a review on TextMate, just take it for a free spin and you will soon see what I’m on about. It does have a collection of pre-assembled syntax bundles that allow rapid pre-assembled code phrases to be placed by the use of a quick shortcut or three. Sadly no bundle for Expression Engine (boo, hiss, heckles etc.).
But a quick search and voila! Mr Chris Ruzin to the rescue… he took the time to build one – great job Chris! you can grab your copy over at his site chrisruzin.net
And so whilst playing around I thought it might be useful to create a cheat sheet (handy whilst getting to grips etc).
If it is of use to you, then print yourself off a copy.
Enjoy!
