Just switched over to textmate from the pc port e text editor.

I see how to column select, but I can't figure out how to select multiple words (or sections of text). In e, you just hold control and select arbitrary sections of the document.

Please tell me you can do this! I thought this was one of the big draws to textmate. It certainly was for me when I switched to e.

Uhm I'm not sure I understood anyway ctrl + (right|left) arrow and you select many words. Otherwise command + mouse and you select whatever rectangular shape you want. Look in "Edit -> select"
