It would certainly be easier for the average user (and somewhat more flexible) if TextMate had something like $TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_COLUMN_NUMBER variables, or, alternatively, slightly changed semantics of $TM_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER variables so that they always return the starting position of selection (no matter how the selection was made).

Do you know these variables? $TM_INPUT_START_LINE $TM_INPUT_START_LINE_INDEX

Oh, I did not know these existed. Thank you, Hans! These variables are missing from the official Manual. I decided to check for other variables, and found that TM_COLUMNS and TM_COLUMN_NUMBER are missing as well. Should I submit a documentation patch?

Ho-ho-ho, Sergei Yakovlev
