copied!<p>A lot of long time TextMate users are leaving TextMate land, actually. So, I'm not sure it's the right time to move to TextMate.</p> <p>Emacs and Vim both do what you want and more. If you can afford the learning curve it's definitely worth it.</p> <p>As for your question: </p> <p><strong>View 2 text windows side by side</strong></p> <p>You can have two or more windows for the same document. Assuming you are in a "project" right-click your file in the drawer and choose <em>Open "foo.ext" in New Window</em>. The two "views" contents are more or less in sync but doing cool things like columnar editing tends to break the syncing. </p> <p>Due to how Mac OS X manages windows, the new window will probably be too large/too small and/or placed in a less than useful place. I use <a href="https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt">ShiftIt</a> system wide to manage my windows and in such a case have them the same size side by side.</p> <p><strong>Double click on a variable and have all instances highlighted</strong></p> <p>What do you use this for? Is this visual highlight or non-contiguous selection?</p> <p>Type <kbd>ctrl</kbd><kbd>w</kbd> to select the word, then <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>e</kbd> to make the word your search term, then <kbd>⇧</kbd><kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>f</kbd> or Edit > Find > Find in Project… It will show all instances of the search term in another window. You can then "jump" to any occurence and do whatever you want.</p> <p>If you only want to jump from occurence to occurence, select the word then type <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>e</kbd> then <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>g</kbd> to jump to the next occurence. </p> <p>Another way is to type <kbd>ctrl</kbd><kbd>s</kbd>, a little text field appears at the bottom of your window where you can type a word and see its first occurence selected in real time. Repeatly typing <kbd>ctrl</kbd><kbd>s</kbd> will cycle through the occurences.</p> <p><strong>Drag a file onto another opened Window</strong></p> <p>You can drag & drop a file on TextMate's icon in the Dock. You can also right-click the file and choose <em>Open with TextMate</em> *or Open with…*. If you are in a "project" you can right-click and choose <em>Add Existing Files…</em>. Opening multiple files in TextMate will automatically create a "project" for you. </p>
