Using TextMate 2
TextMate 2 is an open-source text editor for OS X. Pre-built binaries are available at http://github.com/textmate/textmate/downloads.
A TextMate bundle for Ledger 3 is available at http://github.com/lifepillar/Ledger.tmbundle. See the wiki page for installation instructions.
The bundle provides a couple of tab triggers (see http://manual.macromates.com/en/bundles#tab_triggers) to speed up the process of entering data. To enter a new transaction, position the cursor at the beginning of a line, type t then press Tab. To enter a new posting, type p then press Tab. After expansion, you may press Tab or Shift-Tab to move between the fields.
To enter a transaction similar to one that you have already written, type some text, select it and press Cmd-Ctrl-E. The text will be magically replaced by a prototype transaction “matching” the text (this is just a front-end for the ledger entry command).
TextMate has also support for auto-completion, which can be activated by pressing the Esc key.
The bundle also provides commands to generate several useful reports, customizable through a dialog. For more information, please visit the Ledger.tmbundle wiki.
