Hello All, is it possible to use a textmate bundle in Gedit? I’m  
using  
Ubuntu 8.04 at the moment.

thanks,  
Jason

I do not think so. As you probably know, there are several plugins  
(snippets, project browser?) you can enable to get close though. You  
might want to try Netbeans. I switch between Ubuntu 8.04 and OS X  
regularly and I prefer Netbeans over Textmate. It’s that good.

For what I know you can’t use the TM bundles…  
But like mgutz pointed there’s a lot of plugins. There is some  
alternatives to achieve something like TM bundles. Look at this links:

- GMate - [GitHub - lexrupy/gmate: Gmate has been moved to http://github.com/gmate/gmate](http://github.com/lexrupy/gmate/) (http://  
[GMate | Agile on Rails](http://alexandredasilva.wordpress.com/gmate/))
- gedit-rails - [http://github.com/mig/gedit-rails/](http://github.com/mig/gedit-rails/)

Think that GMate is the most complete. I use these as base for my  
customizations. My current configuration has also this plugins:

- code\_formatter ([GitHub - urubatan/gedit\_formatter: This is a code formatter plugin for gedit](http://github.com/urubatan/gedit_formatter/))
- git\_branch ([GitHub - ozeias/gedit\_git\_branch: View the current git branch for gedit](http://github.com/ozeias/gedit_git_branch/))
- completion ([http://users.tkk.fi/~otsaloma/gedit/](http://users.tkk.fi/~otsaloma/gedit/))
- grep ([http://blog.veles.info/2008/05/gedit-grep-plugin.html](http://blog.veles.info/2008/05/gedit-grep-plugin.html))

thank you all for your responses. i will have to give Gmate a try. I  
have an  
old iBook G3 (it’s 8 years old) and still works. I’ve been thinking of  
buying a new macbook, but still haven’t decided if i want to spend the  
money  
just to use TextMate. I really like the new Mac’s, but it comes with a  
big  
price tag. So for now i will stick with Ubuntu.

Jason

You should try the VIM also for ruby and Ruby on Rails development.
