I often find that I paste something into a document, then immediately select it to do something to it, like wrapping it in tags or converting characters to entities. Long ago I used an editor (possibly alpha) that had a 'select pasted text' command, that did the selection straight after a paste, without having to drag over it or whatever. I can't find an equivalent command in TextMate, nor any environment variables pointing to the start and end of the latest pasting that would let me implement it myself.
Have I missed something? Either a command in some bundle I don't know about or some other way of achieving the same effect?
If not, here's a feature request. Any one of the following:
Select Pasted Text command Paste and Select command (extra modifier key on cmd-V) Select after Pasting preference.
Thanks for any help or pointers.
Easy:
<Paste & Select.tmCommand>
That one breaks if you paste anything with certain reserved characters.
If you have the r 6636 version of the TextMate escape library… You can use this one instead. http://pastie.textmate.org/42665
#!/usr/bin/env ruby require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + "/lib/escape.rb" print "${0:#{e_snp(`pbpaste`)}}"
If you don't have the latest version of the escape library, you'll have to add http://pastie.textmate.org/42666
# escape text for use in a TextMate snippet placeholder def e_snp(str) str.to_s.gsub(/(?=[$`\}])/, '\') end
