How do I get Xcode-like tab-completion in TextMate?

Question

Xcode shows you a grayed-out version of what it will complete to and if you hit tab or right-arrow, it will complete. It's pretty sweet. Is this possible in TextMate?

Thanks!

Answer 1

TextMate will not show you a greyed-out version of what it thinks you're intending to type, but it does support tab triggers for keywords. For example, if you're using the standard Objective-C bundle, type "cl", then hit tab, and it will expand to

@interface object : NSObject
{
}
@end

@implementation object
- (id)init
{
    if((self = [super init]))
    {
    }
    return self;
}
@end

In TextMate, you can go to the menu Bundles > Bundle Editor > Show Bundle Editor to see the various snippets, along with their tab triggers, for each of the bundles you have installed.
