Textmate favourite features
26 June, 2008
Sometimes you just forget the stuff you take for granted, but often you hear of people new to apps and not realising what's there. Here's a couple of the features of Textmate that are probably my most used... CMD + T - Go to file, pretty hot. List of files is shown in a dialog that it is in order of last edited/open file, with the last file you worked on as being selected. So I have a big habit of spending my life CMD+T then Enter all day along. Also by typing will filter down the list of files pretty damned fast. CMD + SHIFT + T - Go to symbol. Hotter still. This allows you to easily navigate through a file with ease. If you single click on a method name, it jumps to that method without closing the dialog box, double clicking closes the dialog. Particularly handy working on a large class/module this tends to stay open all day jumping back and forth between methods. CTRL + SHIFT + A - Hottest, subversion integration. Diffing from the commit dialog is a godsend. What's YOUR favourite feature of Textmate ?
