I'm evaluating TextMate, trying to figure out if I can make the switch from BBEdit. It looks very much like Linux -- very powerful, but having a devil of a time getting work done as I make the switch. So please forgive me as I pepper you with questions. I'm going to try to put them in separate emails to split them up into threads.

OK, I'm making a new template for my SHTML files. My first question: how do I make the tab stops work properly?

When I use the following template, the cursor (er, caret in TM parlance) is at the *start* of the document, and tabbing doesn't move me to the other positions. I find this odd b/c I thought that the caret position was supposed to default to the end. Anyway, the tab stops aren't working at all, so I must be making some mistake. I just can't find it.

The variables for selected text and date *do* work.

help, please? CC
