TextMate CSS bundle v.1.5
TextMate CSS bundle is now mCSS
Just like my recently updated mHTML bundle, my TextMate CSS bundle does not replace the default CSS bundle anymore, it is now a separate bundle that works as an addition to the default bundle. The advantage is that the original CSS Language and Preferences files are left untouched and it eliminates any potential conflicts with future TextMate updates.
Installation & Update
Because of the way TextMate works, to make sure you get a clean default CSS bundle and mCSS bundle, you’ll need to backup and delete any CSS bundle present in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ and/or ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/ first. Then install the mCSS bundle (double click it after unzipping).
What’s new
- mCSS is its own bundle that works as an addition to the default CSS bundle
- Changed some tab triggers to minimize typing even more. See download page for details
- Added more properties and corresponding values as tab triggers.
What’s next?
If you’d like to see something added, or if you find a bug, let me know in the comments. Thanks!
Download
You can get the new version on the TextMate CSS bundle download page.

Thanks for making such great bundles. The only thing that bothers me is some file name issues in Windows. I’m trying to use it in e-texteditor which is the textmate for Windows and is fully compatible with tmbundles. But since some of your snippet file names has illegal characters in their names it’s really hassle to use these bundles in Windows. If you could somehow rename the snippet file name and make them valid names cross platform, it will make these great bundles even better. Soon we’ll have e-texteditor for linux and then tmbundles such as yours will be used completely cross platfrom.

I use pretty standard alphanumerical characters in the snippet names and I believe they should be Windows compatible… Do you know where I can find more info about the character set supported by the editor you use? I’ll have a look… Thanks!

Cool. Anyway to get this on GetBundle repo? That’ll be nice.

I’ve offered my help on the mailing list before but got zero answer so I assume Allan (or whoever is in charge of that) is not interested.

This has saved me SOOO much time! Thanks! Wish I would have thought of this a while ago.

Hey there Yann, thanks for the great bundle. Just finished developing my first site for my university degree and it would have been so great to have this sooner! I’ve been using TextMate for 1 month now (just finished the trial and bought the full version), and just getting into customising the packaged bundles myself.
Again, great stuff!

I wonder if you could somehow fold support for LESS in to your CSS bundle? There’s a LESS bundle underway already, but having this support for abbreviations etc. like you’ve built for your CSS bundle would be great in LESS

Actually, my CSS bundle already has minimal support for {less}: if you look in the mCSS drop down, the “less -> css” command converts {less} files into CSS. I’ve been looking for someone to help me with the language file though… Maybe your link will help, I’ll check it out. Thanks!
