This bundle lets you to use the Mac OS X editors TextMate or Textastic, as well as Windows editor E Text Editor, as an IDE for the monkey programming language. It is based in part on the existing blitzmax.bundle so thanks to Nilium for that.

Syntax Highlighting
Easily see keywords, constants, strings, comments, numbers and functions/classes/methods in your code
Auto Completion of Keywords
Press the Escape key to cycle through all matches after typing part of a keyword, Shift+Escape will take cycle backwards, Option+Escape will present a list of matches for you to choose from
Expand Keywords into Code
Press the Tab key to expand one keyword into one or more lines of code, subsequent presses of tab intelligently jump you through the resulting code allowing you to fill in multiple parameters with minimal key strokes
Build options
Specify target, config and run options in the source - no need for the command line
Build/Run hotkeys
Quick and easy full build by pressing ⌘B, or a quicker update and run using ⌘R
Jump to Error
Automatically jump to error after update and run, or with a click after full build
Context Sensitive Help
View the monkey module docs in a popup window by pressing F13
Quick Start Template
One click skeleton template to get you started, build to see instant results
Easy Source Navigation
Navigate around your source using the index of functions, classes and methods
Bundle Update Check
Easily see if you're using the most recent version of the bundle
Code Folding, Configurable Shortcut Keys
...and more!
All the above features are supported in TextMate 1.5 out of the box.
Support in other editors will vary. See a comparison table here: http://www.gingerbeardman.com/monkey/
Please ask the developer of your chosen editor about improving TextMate bundle support to enable any features you are missing.
-
Unzip download if it has not been automatically unzipped.
-
Rename folder
monkey.tmbundle-mastertomonkey.tmbundle. -
Double click, or manually move the bundle to:
TextMate 2:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Avian/Bundles/monkey.tmbundleTextMate 1.5:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/monkey.tmbundle
Before you can use the monkey bundle, you must first set the TM_MONKEY shell variable.
To do this, open TextMate's preferences (⌘,) and navigate to the Advanced pane. Select the Shell Variables tab and add the TM_MONKEY variable, where its value is the location of your monkey installation. For example, "/Developer/Applications/monkey". Do not include a trailing slash in the path.
This variable allows you to build your applications (⌘B). Documentation and trans lookups are relative to this location.
When using projects, you can set the TM_MONKEY_MAIN_FILE shell variable for your project and specify the main monkey file to build when you use the Build App (⌘B) command.
To set this variable, open the project drawer and deselect any files, then click the "i" button at the bottom of the drawer to open the project info. Add the TM_MONKEY_MAIN_FILE variable, and set its value to the file relative to the main file project's directory.
When using the Build App and Run App commands, your main source file (either the file you have open or the one specified by TM_MONKEY_MAIN_FILE) is quickly scanned for a set of build options to determine how to build and/or run the results. These build options are available under the Build Options snippets, and are as follows:
- Release & Debug -
debug,release
Specifies whether or not to compile the program in debug mode. - Target -
Html5_Game,Flash_Game,Xna_Game,Android_Game,iOS_Game,Glfw_Game,C++_Tool
Specifies what type of target to produce. Only targets that are installed correctly on your machine will be available. - Run After Build -
run
Executes the resulting output immediately after building it.
Build options are formatted as comments inside your source code and do not have any meaning outside of this bundle. They are written as:
' buildopt: option
where 'option' is the option you're enabling for the Build and Run commands. The comments must be on their own lines with only whitespace preceding them.
Use of the bundle under Windows using the E Text Editor is possible. I'll happily include any hints and tips here if you have them. Otherwise, please consult the E forum.
You can talk about the bundle on the official monkey forum.
