TextMate for Mac brings Apple's approach to operating systems into the world of text editors. By bridging UNIX underpinnings and GUI, TextMate cherry-picks the best of both worlds to the benefit of expert scripters and novice users alike.

Whether you are a programmer or a designer, the production of code and markup is hard work. Without an editor dedicated to the task, it is also often cumbersome, overwhelming, and repetitive. Especially when you are dealing with a lot of files at once — like most projects do. The tool puts you back in control, reduces the mental overhead, and turns manual work into something the computer does.

Created by a closet UNIX geek who was lured to the Mac platform by its ease of use and elegance, TextMate for macOS has been referred to as the culmination of Emacs and macOS and has resulted in countless requests for both a Windows and Linux port, but the app remains exclusive for the Mac, and that is how we like it!

Text Mate for Mac is not an IDE but by using its powerful snippets, macros, and unique scoping system, it can often provide features that even a language specific IDE lacks. It has enough project management features to keep most users happy but is otherwise kept lightweight with a clean and minimalistic GUI.

TextMate 2.0 RC 11

- File browser now supports setting multiple tags on items instead of the previous single label system
- It is possible to set excludeSCMDeleted = true in a .tm_properties file to suppress the “ghost” items that appear after deleting a file on disk which is still tracked by your version control system
- You can now run defaults write com.macromates.TextMate allowExpandingPackages -bool YES to have file packages be expandable in the file browser (like directories). If you do work with a lot of file packages and need to descend into these, be aware that it is also possible to hold option when you either double-click the item’s label or single click the icon, to descend into the file package
- The list of default file globs used when searching folders can be set, e.g. defaults write com.macromates.TextMate defaultFindInFolderGlobs '( "{*,.tm_properties}", "*" )'. Be aware though that unique history is kept per folder, to clear your history run: defaults delete com.macromates.TextMate 'Find in Folder Globs'
- The behavior of control up/down has changed slightly: Previously these keys would (also) “skip” the current paired sequence when next to an opening/closing character, for example pressing control down with foo(bar); would move the insertion point past the braces, i.e.: foo(bar);. This is no longer the case, and the keys will always move to the opening/closing character of the current pair that the insertion point is inside
- Completely overhauled the file browser: Little difference from the user’s POV but the performance characteristics may have changed slightly, please report any issues to the mailing list or support. Furthermore, we no longer support saved searches or alias files. If you use any of these things, please let us know


TextMate 2.0 RC 10
- It is now possible to scroll project/folder search results horizontally
- Fixed misclassification of file encoding for documents saved with TextEdit
