TextMate Minor Mode

;; This minor mode exists to mimick TextMate's awesome
;; features. 

;;    ⌘T - Go to File
;;  ⇧⌘T - Go to Symbol
;;    ⌘L - Go to Line
;;    ⌘/ - Comment Line (or Selection/Region)
;;    ⌘] - Shift Right (currently indents region)
;;    ⌘[ - Shift Left  (not yet implemented)
;;  ⌥⌘] - Align Assignments
;;  ⌥⌘[ - Indent Line
;;  ⌘RET - Insert Newline at Line's End

;; A "project" in textmate-mode is determined by the presence of
;; a .git directory. If no .git directory is found in your current
;; directory, textmate-mode will traverse upwards until one (or none)
;; is found. The directory housing the .git directory is presumed
;; to be the project's root.

;; In other words, calling Go to File from 
;; ~/Projects/fieldrunners/app/views/towers/show.html.erb will use
;; ~/Projects/fieldrunners/ as the root if ~/Projects/fieldrunners/.git
;; exists.

Installation

$ cd ~/.emacs.d/vendor
$ git clone git://github.com/defunkt/textmate.el.git

In your emacs config:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/vendor/textmate.el")
(require 'textmate)
(textmate-mode)

Configuration

To ignore additional files in a "project", use textmate-also-ignore in your emacs config. For example if you had a directory named "gems" and a directory named "bin" that you wanted to ignore, you would add the following to your emacs config:

(textmate-also-ignore "bin|gems")
