Is there any practical difference between 'edit›select›paragraph' & 'edit›select›line'?
When not using soft wrap, Select Paragraph will select up/down to blank lines. With soft wrap enabled, it is the same as Select Line.
I expected that 'select›paragraph' would not select the newline at the end of the string, leaving me free to delete a block of text and not remove the line itself from the document. This (expected) behavior would really be nice for some macros I'm working on.
There actually is a “moveToEndOfParagraphAndModifySelection:” action, but it is not bound to any key, so unless you either edit your key bindings file (to give it a key) or edit the macro after having recorded it [1], it is unreachable.
Neither of this is of course ideal, but it’s an option :)
[1] e.g. record: ctrl-A, shift-ctrl-right, delete, and afterwards save it, and locate the file on disk, edit that by changing the moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection: to use Paragraph instead. Relaunch TextMate after that, to have it read the new macro.
