[TxMt] Newbie HTML question

I was blown away by the HTML demo on the Textmate site, the ability to
insert matching tags and intelligently tab through them seems like a great
way to create HTML. The fact that I can surround a selection and edit BOTH
start/end tags at the same time had my jaw dropping.

However, this 'magic' behavior seems to vanish once I leave the vicinity of
the tag. If I return (or edit an existing file, when I select a start tag,
it doesn't auto edit the closing tag.

I get how doing this automatically would create some problems. I'm just
looking for a way to someone 'refocus' Textmate on the tag in question,
matching the start end tags so when I reedit one, the other changes.

Through the hundreds of commands in Textmate, i assume there is someway to
do this. Any one have any ideas?

Thanks,

Scott
