Re: [TxMt] A fix for Move Selection Line Up/Down and suggestions for TextMate

It would certainly be easier for the average user (and somewhat more flexible) if TextMate had something like $TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_COLUMN_NUMBER variables, or, alternatively, slightly changed semantics of $TM_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER variables so that they always return the starting position of selection (no matter how the selection was made).

Do you know these variables? $TM_INPUT_START_LINE $TM_INPUT_START_LINE_INDEX

Try this tiny attached tmcommand.

in BASH:

echo "start line : $TM_INPUT_START_LINE" echo "start index: $TM_INPUT_START_LINE_INDEX" echo "length : ${#TM_SELECTED_TEXT}"
