I just love TextMate<\/a>, and any excuse I can find to use it, I do. There are a ton of features that you really get used to, and it is a very fast and flexible program. Maybe that is why the Rails Core Team<\/a> uses it exclusively! If you are hooked on Dreamweaver<\/a> and use a Mac, consider a combination of Transmit<\/a> and TextMate to get the same job done quicker. It is a different workflow, but it\u2019s a nice one and it feels a lot faster.<\/p>\n Anyway, today I learned that if you have TextMate installed, you can edit any text field from Safari with TextMate by first typing Command-A (to select all) and then Command-Keypad Enter. Ah! So nice to be able to write a blog entry in a familiar environment. Just save and close the window, and you are back in Safari with your text entered. Our blog system uses Textile<\/a>, which is a lot easier to work with in TextMate.<\/p>\n I also learned that you can use TextMate to view the source of a web page, too, but that seems to require a bit more work an a specialized utility or two. Maybe I\u2019ll give that a shot, but for now I am addicted to SafariSource<\/a>, a utility that shows Safari\u2019s source code window with nice color syntax highlighting, a must for web designers.<\/p>\n
