I use TextMate for most of my working day. The TextMate Basics Tutorial is a good place to start to increase your proficiency with it. Here are a few of the more useful keyboard-shortcuts:
- Another rather hidden feature is the incremental search. ⌃S or ⌃⇧S incrementally searches forward/backward as you type (the status bar will turn into an input field in that case).
- ⌃G (Text → Convert → To Opposite Case) with no selection will toggle the case of the character next to the caret and advance the caret. with a selection it will toggle the case of all the characters in the selection (and leave the selection in place).
- Subversion Support is provided via this Bundle. Just checkout a directory or file from a Subversion repository, open it in TextMate and you can use this Bundle. All Subversion Commands use the same shortcut ⌃⇧A
- Bookmarks are marked places in your document. ⌥⌘B (View → Gutter → Bookmarks) will show them in the gutter (the gray panel to the left of the editable area, containing line numbers etc.) You can create a bookmark with ⌘F2 (Navigation → Add Bookmark). This will put a star (★) in the bookmark column of the gutter for that line. You can then always cycle through your bookmarks with F2 (Navigation → Next Bookmark) and ⇧F2 (Navigation → Previous Bookmark).
- So, F1 View → Fold Current Block
There are many more but it is best to add a few every week to your knowledge so they become automatic.
