[TxMt] Re: How to disable column-selection or it's binding to theOption key

There might be a way with System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

Or maybe using the command line defaults tool would work. I seem to remember using that to stop Command-Q from quitting in Safari (I'd sometimes accidentally hit q instead of w). I think I got that tip on macosxhints... Yeah, here it is: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2003050112482698

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents '{"Quit Safari" = " <at> Q"; "Quit Mail" = " <at> Q";}'

Try: man defaults ...if you have trouble.

Thank you Simon It didn't work, BUT I did solve the problem :) I was using Keyboard Maestro to do my "Option-CHTN" navigation trick. I blocked TextMate from there, and implemented the whole setup using the KeyBindings.dict file. It works perfectly now. For those interested, this is in dvorak, but you can change to qwerty if you like

/* nav keys */ "~c" = "moveUp:"; "~t" = "moveDown:"; "~h" = "moveLeft:"; "~n" = "moveRight:"; "~d" = "moveWordBackward:"; "~s" = "moveWordForward:"; "~g" = "pageUp:"; "~m" = "pageDown:"; "~i" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; "~-" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; "~C" = "moveUpAndModifySelection:"; "~T" = "moveDownAndModifySelection:"; "~H" = "moveLeftAndModifySelection:"; "~N" = "moveRightAndModifySelection:"; "~D" = "moveWordBackwardAndModifySelection:"; "~S" = "moveWordForwardAndModifySelection:"; "~G" = "pageUpAndModifySelection:"; "~M" = "pageDownAndModifySelection:"; "~I" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; "~_" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:";

Sweeeeet, TextMate is now Peeerfect!
