Re: [TextMate] Snippets, and Selected Text

...

For a snippet, there should be a variable say "$s" that references the text selected when the snippet was acted on, so that say, if I select noel@noeljackson.com and click on my href snippet, it will replace $s with noel@noeljackson.com, allowing easy creation of headers etc in HTML without going back, or creating macros.

Agreed, a selected text variable is a must. I hope we can get this high on the version 1.2 list please

Surely a better solution would be to allow any variables in snippets, just like you can with templates, that way you could just use $TM_SELECTED_TEXT to get this.
