Currently Textmate uses Safari’s Webkit to render the hmlt outputs for both commands and the live webpreview window.

Unfortunately for one specific project I am working with specific javascript API supported only be Firefox’s gecko or Chrome’s Webkit, it seems Safari still not supporting it.

Perhaps there’s a way to globally change Safari for Chromium or Webkit Nightly?

    A support member of TextMate kindly answered my email asking for it by mentioning this url which definitely points to the right solution. I really didn’t think it could be done so seamlessly and now I am very happy that it is possible.

    Basically there are few steps to follow:

    $ cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/
$ mv TextMate _TextMate
$ vim TextMate

    new TextMate file contains (note that you might want to change the path for the new webkit framework to fit the one you like)

    #!/bin/bash
env DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Applications/WebKit.app/Contents/Frameworks/10.6/WEBKIT_UNSET_DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=YES /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/_TextMate

    after saving the newly created file:

    $ chmod a+x TextMate

    Close/Run TextMate 🙂

    Or obvious if you just want to do this for each session you can simply use the bash command right away from terminal like this:

    $ env DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Applications/WebKit.app/Contents/Frameworks/10.6/ WEBKIT_UNSET_DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=YES /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate

    This is really cool…one thing I’ve noticed after that is that my themes are no longer being displayed, have no clue about it but I will try to check the cause.
