When not using soft wrap, Select Paragraph will select up/down to  
blank lines. With soft wrap enabled, it is the same as Select Line.

There actually is a “moveToEndOfParagraphAndModifySelection:” action,  
but it is not bound to any key, so unless you either edit your key  
bindings file (to give it a key) or edit the macro after having  
recorded it [1], it is unreachable.

Neither of this is of course ideal, but it’s an option :)


[1] e.g. record: ctrl-A, shift-ctrl-right, delete, and afterwards  
save it, and locate the file on disk, edit that by changing the  
moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection: to use Paragraph instead. Relaunch  
TextMate after that, to have it read the new macro.
