[OS X TeX] TextMate text editor

[Richard Seguin]

It does have BBEdit style LaTeX syntaxing available now, plus some 
TeXShop integration. See:

http://wiki.macromates.com/textmate/show/HomePage

However, it still has two fatal flaws as far as I'm concerned: it 
crashes if you attempt to use proportional type, and it doesn't seem to 
have any means of navigating a LaTeX document as in the TeXShop tag 
menu or BBEdit's toolbar Marker pull down. They are promising an update 
within a few weeks, but I would be very surprised if any of these 
issued are addressed.

(I set up the Marker pull down menu in BBEdit using the "Find and Mark 
All ..." option and setting Search For to "(\%:)([: a-zA-z0-9]*)" and 
Mark With to "\2", and then choosing "Find & Mark" with the Clear 
Existing Markers checked. It has to be updated when you add new items, 
but it essentially duplicates the TeXShop tag menu by displaying the 
TeXShop style tags, and executing the update takes about one second.)
