TextMate Shortcuts
We here at Big Spaceship use TextMate as our text editor and shortcuts are a big help to me. The things most common to every programmer are copy and paste. But there are so many more shortcuts to aid in the every day tasks. Read on for my most commonly used shortcuts and of course, any additions are welcome.
[APPLE E] = copy to shared clipboard
[APPLE G] = find the next occurrence in the shared clipboard
works across applications
[APPLE SHIFT T] = Go To Symbol
- type immediately the method you know you want to go to, select, return or double click from list
[CTRL OPT APPLE V] = Clipboard History
esc = complete/suggestion
- based on the current document as well as the language
easy search/replace
- select a word -> [APPLE E]
- select the replace word -> [APPLE SHIFT E]
- [APPLE CTRL F] to replace the entire doc or select a range for replacement and use [APPLE SHIFT CTRL F]
copy history
- copy something. copy something else
- paste - [APPLE V] and then [APPLE SHIFT V]
F2 = add bookmark
- [APPLE F] to navigate through these bookmarks
And lastly, create some macros for commonly typed/used things. The most common macros I have are to paste the code for a private and a public method for a class. Be creative!
