Thanks, That makes perfect sense now. I was only thinking of scope for the purpose of syntax coloring, but I can see how this would work better for you.

Its a reasonable request, I just don't understand it.Thanks,Brad-- Brad MillerAssistant Professor, Computer Science > Luther College Ok, here is my answer: when I type \` or \" (accents in tex) TextMate always inserts double accents, or worse, which I have to manually delete. This is a RPITA, which can be fully appreciated only when typing in Italian or French with a lot of accents. And this is not very elegant either. Solution 1 (Allan's favorite): use UTF-8 and accented characters. Nice until you exchange your files with someone using windows or older systems or a system in a different language etc etc. When I send by e-mail a file to myself sometimes it's garbled... I do not like this and I would really prefer to use \', \" etc if possible Solution 2: define a snippet trggered by ` (backtick), which inserts a ` (sure, a backtick) and is tied to the scope meta.escape-character.latex The same for " (double quotes). So you see this is a nice application of the scope "caret after a backslash", I do not know if there are others, but this one is certainly useful for me. I hope this makes my request more clear.
