View Source in TextMate 1.0

While I love developing in Safari over alternatives like Firefox and Chrome, it lacks in one particular area: View Source. Safari's View Source is practically useless, it doesn't show line numbers, no syntax highlighting, etc.<br /><br />Safari does offer the Web Inspect, which is nice, but a little annoying for quick look ups since everything is broken down into the DOM tree.<br /><br />I've seen other Safari Extension's like BetterSource that do this right in the browser, but really, why re-invent the wheel? TextMate is an awesome editor (albeit with this issues) and would be perfect for this.<br /><br />I decided to see if I could get a "View Source in TextMate" item in the contextual menu. After reading over all of the docs, it became apparent to me that opening files in a native app just wasn't going to happen.<br /><br />I was able to get it to work by writing a TextMate plugin to handle the heavy lifting via it's txmt:// URL scheme. So it all worked out in the end, you'll just need to install the TextMate plugin as well as the Safari extension. Enjoy!
