Using TextMate, it is very easy to get snippets and commands to do things that you often do. However, the python bundle is a bit lacking, and this is a great opportunity to improve that.

I’ve created a Command that will enter a newline, and if not inside a list, function call, dictionary or multi-line string, automatically add a trailing .

I’ve hooked it in to the Enter key, and the other settings can be seen in the screenshot below:

The actual code follows:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

scope = ENV['TM_SCOPE'].split

no_trail = ['punctuation.definition.arguments.end.python',
            'meta.structure.list.python',
            'meta.structure.dictionary.python',
            'string.quoted.single.block.python',
            'string.quoted.double.block.python']

print (scope & no_trail) == [] ? "\\\n" : "\n"
