What are some useful TextMate shortcuts? [closed]

Answer 1

CMD + / comments out a line and it's smart enough to format based on language. I use it all the time.

Answer 2

Wrap each selected line in markup tags: SHIFT + CONTROL + COMMAND + W

For example, if you have:

  This is a 
  few sample
  list items 

Highlight all three lines and presss SHIFT + CONTROL + COMMAND + W to create:

  <li>This is a </li>
  <li>few sample</li>
  <li>list items</li>

Answer 3

in the cftextmate bundle you can type any cfml tag without the opening "<" or closing ">" and press tab and it completes the entire tag and you can then tab to each of the tag attributes. i'm not sure if this type of shortcut works for other languages.
