Hi All,

I'm a fairly new TextMate user, and have a few things I miss from previous editors. I'll just mention two:

1) Is there a way to see the size of the current selection on the status bar at the bottom of the screen?

i.e. If I have 10 lines selected to show...

Line: 42 Column: 24 Selection: 10

I often edit data files where I want to (say) remove the last 100 lines, and that isn't easy to do.

2) Why does the column edit mode select an extra line at the end?

Say I've selected a block of five lines:

1 2 3 4 5

If I press the option key to get the first column, and then type something, it also has a selection on the line after 5.

That is, you get:

//1 //2 //3 //4 //5 //

That always messes me up a bit.

I'm enjoying my new life in TextMate, and thanks for any suggestions.
