There are two sets of bindings at work here: select to beginning/end of 
"line", and select to beginning/end of "paragraph", where "line" == 
visual line, and "paragraph" == physical line in the file, from `\n` to 
`\n`.  If you want to change the behavior, or make your own bindings for 
selecting visual (i.e. softwrapped) lines, then you should read my 
[article][A] about the Cocoa Text System, and the associated page about 
available [selectors][B].  You'll want to copy TextMate's key bindings 
file from inside the application into your library.[^1]

[^1]: you'll want to move your files from 
`/Path/To/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings.dict` to 
`~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/KeyBindings.dict`, and then make 
your local changes.
