There are two (relatively old) screencasts that demonstrate the beauty of the LaTex Bundle in TextMate much better than I can describe it. But I’m hoping it won’t be too long before that’s implemented. The only feature that I wish TextMate had is split-screen editing. This summer, I paid $170 for a five-seat license for my group. But, as I always say, you get what you pay for and this is money well spent. It’s not cheap: an individual license is $56 or $48 with the educational discount. I think the primary reason many people hesitate to use TextMate is cost. Similarly, “running” the code, texifying the tex, refreshing the browser displaying the HTML is always ⌘R. You don’t have to remember when to use #, % or. Commenting text is always ⌘/, regardless of what type of code you’re writing. Consistent keyboard shortcuts The keyboard shortcuts are consistent between the various bundles. TeXShop, on the other hand, is a unitasker-only good for LaTeX-while TextMate, like emacs, is good for everything. I use it for editing plain ascii files, writing blog posts, editing CSS, writing code in IDL and Python, and writing LaTeX. It’s a multitasker It’s one application that includes language specific bundles to meet all of your text editing, coding, and web development needs. Here, I’m going to go through the details of setting up and using TextMate as your primary LaTeX editor.
(It would be really great if someone could synthesize and transfer the information in that post to the LaTeX wiki page.) Tom also recently gave us a rundown the various text editors for OS X. In a previous post, we talked about how to install latex.
