I wanted to know whether there's a way of altering what TM_CURRENT_WORD's idea of "current word" is? I didn't have much luck finding something in the manual or list concerning this. Particularly if it can be redefined on a per scope basis. (I wouldn't want to make global changes!)

Are you talking about something like what's in the "Text Editing" preferences? This augments what TextMate sees as a word globally.

Thanks Oliver! I was aware of this feature, but wouldn't want to muck with it to accommodate J's idea of a word.

I was hoping there was something that would allow me to define TextMate's idea of a "word" within the scope of J source files only...

As it stands, I'm pushing forward using the current line and caret position.

I requested this years ago. Apparently to hard to implement in TM, hoping/waiting for TM2.

IMHO a mandatory feature of any decent source code text editor, and one of my pet peeves with TM.
