There are so many things that cannot be done without the use of an  
API that your suggestion is absolutely unworkable.

1) I did the suggestion not only to this list but also to Allan.  He  
answered me.  It was ok.

2) I was trying to answer Kevin about a question he issued but I was  
cheeky.  Obviously there is one way to position the text analyzing  
the text and placing there $0 and outputting through as snippet.   
This was the correct answer to Kevin.  And as I learned a lot with  
the Charilaos answer I payed him my gratitude.

3) You are asking for improvements in the way TM do the things _now_  
but I am telling you that many things are absolutely impossible  
without a lot of work from the programmer side.  An simple example:   
to select the text that is inside html/xml "braces" <font ...> </ 
font>.  This is very important in html editing for many reasons and  
is absolutely impossible in TM right now.
