One thing I really miss from vim is the "Copy character above cursor" function. I've looked in the TM docs, but I can't see anything similar, or am I missing it?
Best wishes,

I don't think TextMate has native support for that, but I've attached a quick-and-dirty macro that closely approximates it. Assign it to Ctrl-Y and it should feel like vim.

P.S. Are plists the right way to exchange macros? Snippets, commands, and the like are easy because they're just plain text, but macros are a different beast...

Dear Trevor,
It's a good question - I can't actually see how to install your file. But thanks for the hint that macros were the way to achieve what I wanted - my own "quick-and-dirty" effort works well enough for the moment.
Best wishes,

That or maybe just create a new bundle, copy it to there and ship the bundle.
In retrospect I should have given snippets, macros, commands, etc. a tmSnippet, tmMacro, tmCommand, etc. extension and allowed TM to open these directly and made them drag-able from teh bundle editor to any app (and I will in the future).
Trevor,
A bit off topic, but your signature is invalid ;)

Hmm... There must be a Trevor impostor running loose on the net, submitting macros to mailing lists and trying to make people think I wrote them. :)
Yeah, I saw that, too, but I don't know what happened. I chalked it up to some kind of flakiness with the listserv. The next message I sent seemed to go through okay.

A bit too muuch work for something you can do with the autocomplete in Textmate, just hit ESC, not?

Another very nice function is ctrl-shift D which duplicates the current line (or selection) and preserves the carets position.
So for that jedit example, I would place caret before ‘out’ and press ctrl-shift D, and then modify to err etc. (using option forward delete to delete out, or ctrl forward delete to delete rest of the line etc.)
Btw, you don't need a macro to implement this functionality. Just create a command with input the entire document, output "insert as text" and commands:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby a = readlines col = ENV['TM_LINE_NUMBER'].to_i-2 row = ENV['TM_LINE_INDEX'].to_i print a[col][row..row]
I guess the question is what behavior you want when lines are wrapped. This will actually look at the previous code line, not the previous visual line. I haven't tested the macro, so I don't know what it would be doing.
