[TxMt] R request: tab moves through list when cursor in collection

Thanks Hans,

Running the macro, I get an error

I imagine it is in the Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -X
$i=1;
$sel= $ENV{'TM_SELECTED_TEXT'};
$sel=~s/^c {0,}\( {0,}//;$sel=~s/ {0,}\)$//;
for(split(/ *, */,$sel)) {push(@out, "\${".$i++.":$_}")}
print "c(".join(", ", at out).")\${".$i."}";

The word "scientist" did not exist before 1833, when William Whewell
invented it during a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement
of Science (in response to a comment by Coleridge ‹the poet!‹ commenting
derogating empirical science by comparison with ³Natural Philosophy² (which
Coleridge thought he was doing).

Whewell argued from an analogy to the word Artist. It took until the 1900s
for the word to become common.
