[using ^-<]

Changing an already existing pair of tags (i.e. one not just inserted 
using ^-<) only works for me using Home and End keys, as suggested in 
Duane's screencast and provided in his bundle advertised yesterday…  Is 
that what you are looking for, Alain?

On my keyboard, ^-shift-< means ^->, because on a German keyboard, "<" 
is on the additional key found on (most? all?) European keyboards.

(This is a problem with some few TextMate mappings; especially mappings 
with the [shift and] option key can be annoying if one regularly uses 
the special characters that can be produced this way.  But fortunately 
nobody has come up with the idea of standardly mapping something to 
Opt-l = @ or Opt-e = €!  For the same reason, any mapping containing 
something like Opt-\ doesn't work: Opt-Shift-7 => Opt-/ or Shift-| => \. 
  Sorry for the digression.)

... and tab back, Shift-Tab on my keyboard ;-), to change the just 
inserted enclosing tags. Very nice, indeed.  Why is it restricted to 
text.html in the "official" bundle, because it might make sense for 
text.xml etc., too?
