NAME

TextMate::JumpTo - Tell TextMate to jump to a particular file, line

VERSION

This document describes TextMate::JumpTo version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

  use TextMate::JumpTo qw(jumpto);
  
  jumpto( file => 'mysrc.pl', line => 123 );

DESCRIPTION

On Mac OS The TextMate editor handles urls of the form

txmt://open?«arguments»

which cause it to jump to the file, line and column specified by the arguments. This module is a simple wrapper which uses the Mac OS 'open' command to send TextMate to the specified location.

I use it in my ~/.perldb to have TextMate track the current debugger position. Here's what it looks like:

$ cat ~/.perldb
use TextMate::JumpTo qw(jumpto);

sub afterinit {
    $trace |= 4;    # Enable watchfunction

    # Needed to work out where filenames are relative to
    chomp( $base_dir = `pwd` );
}

sub watchfunction {
    my ( $package, $file, $line ) = @_;
    $file = File::Spec->rel2abs( $file, $base_dir );
    jumpto( file => $file, line => $line, bg => 1 )
      if substr( $file, 0, length( $base_dir ) ) eq $base_dir;
}
