[TextMate] Selection Idea

Not sure if this has been suggested before (or even if it already lies 
hidden beneath the sleek exterior of TM and I'm just an idiot), but I 
would like to be able to shift-click or alt-click on a fold to select 
all contained text rather than expanding or collapsing the fold. This 
can then be used for drag/drop, copy/cut and paste and, most 
importantly for me, search and replace criteria, i.e. allowing me to 
use search within selection to quickly do replaces within a single 
defined function or other logical block.

A further possibility, which may be a step too far, is to use shift-alt 
click to select multiple, non-contiguous, folds though I suspect that 
this would be too confusing and not useful enough. Views?

Thanks again for a great product.

Cheers,
James
