TextMate is a powerful, modular text editor for macOS with a sophisticated architecture built on efficient C++ data structures and an elegant Objective-C++ GUI layer.

You can download TextMate from here.

TextMate uses a custom build system based on rave configuration files and ninja. Install the following dependencies:

• boost — portable C++ source libraries
• Cap'n Proto — serialization library
• multimarkdown — marked-up plain text compiler
• ninja — build system similar to make
• ragel — state machine compiler
• sparsehash — a cache friendly hash_map

Install via Homebrew or MacPorts:

# Homebrew (recommended)
brew install boost capnp google-sparsehash multimarkdown ninja ragel

# MacPorts
sudo port install boost capnproto multimarkdown ninja ragel sparsehash

git clone --recursive https://github.com/textmate/textmate.git
cd textmate
./configure && ninja TextMate/run

The ./configure script checks dependencies and generates build.ninja with default config set to release.

# Build TextMate
ninja TextMate

# Build and launch TextMate
ninja TextMate/run

# Clean build
ninja -t clean

# Run tests for a specific framework
ninja <framework_name>/test

# Build specific application
ninja <app_name>/run

1. Install the Ninja bundle via Preferences → Bundles
2. Set up PATH in Preferences → Variables or ~/.tm_properties (e.g., $PATH:/usr/local/bin)
3. Press ⌘B to build

The default target is TextMate/run which will relaunch TextMate with full session restore.

TextMate follows a modular architecture with clear separation between low-level C++ data structures and high-level Objective-C++ GUI components.

• oak::basic_tree_t - Balanced binary indexed tree (AA-tree) for text storage with O(log N) operations
• ng::detail::storage_t - Efficient chunked memory storage in basic_tree_t
• ng::buffer_t - Text buffer with semantic services (line/column tracking, syntax parsing, text marks)
• ng::indexed_map_t - Segment tree providing map-like interface and indexed access for metadata
• ng::layout_t - Text layout and rendering with line wrapping and folding support

Core Frameworks:

• buffer/ - Text storage and manipulation
• editor/ - Text editing operations and transformations
• parse/ - Grammar parsing and syntax highlighting
• layout/ - Text layout and rendering
• selection/ - Text selection handling
• regexp/ - Regular expression and pattern matching

GUI Frameworks:

• OakTextView/ - Main text editing view components
• DocumentWindow/ - Document window management
• FileBrowser/ - File browser sidebar
• Find/ - Search and replace functionality
• BundleEditor/ - Bundle editing interface

Support Frameworks:

• io/ - File I/O, path manipulation, process execution
• settings/ - Configuration and preferences
• bundles/ - Bundle loading and management
• scm/ - Source control integration (Git, SVN, Hg, P4)

• TextMate/ - Main TextMate.app
• mate/ - Command line tool
• SyntaxMate/ - Syntax highlighting framework
• Plus various utility applications

Tests use the CxxTest framework and are located in tests/ subdirectories:

• t_*.cc or t_*.mm - Unit tests using CxxTest
• gui_*.mm - GUI tests

Build test targets automatically based on current file location via .tm_properties.

TextMate's functionality is extended through bundles containing:

• Commands, snippets, and macros
• Grammar definitions for syntax highlighting
• Themes for visual appearance
• Language-specific settings

• Uses .rave files for build configuration
• Uses .tm_properties for TextMate-specific settings
• C++2a standard with 3-space tabs
• Precompiled headers in Shared/PCH/
• Automatic framework include path configuration

• TextMate mailing list
• #textmate IRC channel on freenode.net
• Contact MacroMates
