These tips are great, all of them! About current scope selection – where is that defined? I’m using python and would like to add some “features” to this selection mode if possible…

Try arranging your spaces in a single vertical column, so that only ⌃↑ and ⌃↓ are used. This is also a much smoother way to arrange spaces if you have multiple physical monitors arranged horizontally.

I just changed the keybinding for Spaces, since I am so used to using ⌃← in TM. It should be possible to change it though, see the TextMate Help. Take a look at the 4th paragraph, basically you’ll want to copy the file to your app support directory and edit the moveSubWord selector keybindings. This post has more info on how to do that.

Ciaran, Regarding the ^ arrow feature in TM, is there a way to change the binding? If you’re using leopard with Spaces, if you use ^ left or ^ right arrow, you’re actually switching spaces…

Atleast that’s what’s happening on my macbook pro. I know you can change the setting in spaces, but is there a way to tell TM to use something else? I like the way I change spaces .
