Hi all,
With window splitting implemented, I may consider switching from emacs. One thing that gets me though is that 'Set Mark' does not seem to work properly. I use this all the time to select a block of text without having to hold down shift. "setMark:" is set in my Default Key Binding, yet I get the blip of unknown command from TextMate when I try to use it. This works great in TextEdit, btw.
What do other people use to select text without using the mouse? I could hold down shift, but then that blocks me from using my other bindings (^p and ^n for line up and down respectively). Is shift and the arrow keys the only option?
Thanks, Wayne

Yes, emacs-style marks is not implemented yet, but is noted as a request.

Currently yes, apart from the various select word/line/paragraph/all.
Though you can bind e.g. ^P to move up and select and likewise for ^N. But I don't know if that'll help much.
I don't think it'll take that long before I get around to the emacs-type marking, since they'll provide more flexibility in macros with regard to selecting up to a point, found by a search.
Kind regards Allan
