Thanks Rob, that was some really useful tricks I didn’t know! Allan never ceases to surprise me with the capabilities of TextMate ☺️ . Så cool with the repeated usage of ^W, I had know idea it could that. And ⌥⌘F to select all occurrences, I’m gonna remember that as well. That will do until I find or make a bundle command that automates it.

I’m also glad I found out the mailing list is so active.

And happy new year to everybody!
