STEPHEN CHU . com. My thoughts on software development, open source, agile methodology, technology, and stuff that matters. Friday, September 26, 2008. Method definition with TextMate CTags. If you are not yet using the TextMate CTags bundle. In your Ruby/Rails development, you are missing out big time. This bundle allows you to go to a method definition as easy as pointing your cursor at the method and hit a keyboard shortcut. It has served me well and I highly recommend it. And change Word Characters.

In most cases, to launch an application on a Mac is just a matter of using the awesome QuickSilver keyboard shortcut and type in what you want to open. But, sometimes it is useful to be able to launch/open an application in command line or terminal in a scripting context. So, instead of going through all the typing.
