TextMate is one of the most popular code editors for Mac OS X. If you use it for development, you should probably know the concept and power of its Bundles. Today I'd like to tell you about the Snippets bundle for TextMate.
At this time it's a very simple bundle that can only do one thing: create a new snippet from selected code. So what you do is just select code in Textmate and hit the shortcut key to save this snippet in your Snippets Library. The bundle uses snippet: URI scheme to make this happen.
The source code for this bundle is published at GitHub repository, so you are free to make any changes to it. You can find more information and installation instructions on this page.
By the way, in the last release we created another cool thing that TextMate fans may find useful: you can apply TextMate color themes to the Snippets App. Take a look at this video on YouTube to see how easy it is and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

YES! This is what I have been waiting for. I will definitely be purchasing this tool. My only wish is that you had done more with your parser to support more language types. For instance this is what the VibrantInk theme supports in Textmate: http://grab.by/3jjg which is pretty expansive compared to what you offer: http://grab.by/3jjj.
So while all the TM goodness is very welcomed, I feel it is still a tiny bit lacking. Thanks for the great tool though! I was a long time beta user and with this most recent update I will definitely be purchasing.
