Yes. And in the Mac User Interface that I recall, the option key was
used for a duplication type of override to many commands. In any
editor I used, pressing the "option" modifier key in conjunction with
this mouse-down-then-drag would result in a copy of the text in the
destination instead of just a move of the text. How can I do that in
Textmate?

Thanks!

PS: is this in a FAQ? :-}
