TextMate is a general-purpose GUI text editor for macOS.

TextMate support in IntelliJ IDEA allows you to import bundles, matches IntelliJ IDEA and TextMate color schemes, and provides code completion in .markdown files.

Enable the plugin

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Plugins | Installed.

  2. Select the checkbox next to the TextMate Bundles plugin.

    Add TextMate bundles

  3. Apply the changes and close the dialog. Restart the IDE if prompted.

Import TextMate bundles

IntelliJ IDEA allows you to work with TextMate bundles. You can download bundles yourself, for example, from GitHub, store them on your computer, and then import them into IntelliJ IDEA.

Test the imported bundles

Once a TextMate bundle is added, IntelliJ IDEA provides syntax highlighting for the file types registered with the bundle. Here's a sample OCaml code fragment that uses the TextMate bundle we've added earlier:
