Changing TextMate JavaScript reformat tab size

TextMate has an beautify command built into its default JavaScript bundle ⌃⇧H (Ctrl+Shift+H). To change the tab size used by the beautifier:

  1. Crack open the Bundle Editor. Bundles > Bundle Editor > Show Bundle Editor or ⌃⌥⌘B (Ctrl+Cmd+Opt++B)
  2. Select JavaScript > Reformat Document / Selection
  3. Add a second argument for the number of spaces to js_beautify($input)

For mine, with two space tabs, it looks like:

print js_beautify($input,2);

If you want to hack the PHP script that makes it all happen, you’ll find it in /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/JavaScript.tmbundle/Support/lib/beautify.php
