The new system in TextMate for presenting dialogs allows you to create a custom interface in Interface Builder and then ask TextMate to present it as was it native. This is without writing any code at all. This is part one of a series of screencasts about tm_dialog

Various useful key equivalents and text transformations for HTML, amongst others how to obfuscate email addresses in your web page.

James Edward Gray shows how to apply unit tests to solving Ruby Quiz #84: Generating Pascal’s Triangle. In the process he also demonstrates a lot of features from the Ruby bundle and explains conventions and rationale behind them.

First a short intro to how you can search the bundle items. Then a few actions related to turning book titles into canonical Amazon links and/or making words/phrases links with Google’s “I Feel Lucky” but without using a web browser.

The blogging bundle allows you to post or update blog entries, preview them, upload accompanying images, and supports the various humane text formats in addition to plain HTML. This screencast shows how to set it up and demonstrates fetching, posting, and image upload.

Part 2 of demonstrating features specific to Objective-C/C++. This time: documentation lookups, reformatting method signatures, and auto-insertion of brackets, alloc/init, and missing include lines.

Very advanced behavior adjusting customizations can be done in a matter of minutes by making good use of scope selectors and language grammars. This screencast shows a few of these.

Duane Johnson has made several cool improvements to the Rails bundle which are shown off in this screencast. These improvements will be available out-of-the-box in TextMate 1.5.1 but you can also grab the updated bundle now.

Some of the Objective-C snippets responsible for my increased productivity :) It was recorded and narrated by myself (Allan Odgaard) and lack of a script made me forget a few points, amongst other that the user should look in the Objective-C bundle (Bundle Editor) and the chapters on snippets and scope selectors (manual) for more information.

Oliver Taylor shows how snippet expansion can be made context sensitive plus a few other features of TextMate. This is one of several screencasts which introduce the user to writing screenplays in TextMate. For more info visit [this link](http://code.google.com/p/screenbundle/)

This video goes through the behavioral features of the screenwriting bundle by Oliver Taylor. It should be interesting even for non-screenwriters, as it is an impressive demonstration of how much automation one can achieve without writing a single line of code (the author of the screenwriting bundle is not a programmer). This is one of several screencasts which introduce the user to writing screenplays in TextMate. For more info visit [this link](http://code.google.com/p/screenbundle/)
