Textmate editing 2 words at same time

I am not 100% sure if this is the right place to be posting this question, but I could not think of anywhere else.

I having been using textmate for around 6 mont开发者_JS百科hs to write Ruby on Rails applications.

The snippets and stuff are nice. I am wondering if it is possible to edit to words at the same time. I am using the mcol snippet which generates a add_column and remove_column in a database migration.

When the code is generated it highlights the table_name and changes both occurences of the word table_name when you start typing.

Hoping that this can be done to any word that you select.

Cheers

Since the whole idea of TextMate is to have an editable editor(!), if you look at the HTML bundle, the shortcut ctrl-shift-w invokes this:

<${1:p}>$TM_SELECTED_TEXT</${1/\s.*//}>

So, to add a custom shortcut to wrap a selection in a pair of editable text strings (which is what you want, I think?), go to Bundles > Show Bundle Editor then choose New Snippet from the add + button (bottom left) and use (e.g.):

${1:editme}$TM_SELECTED_TEXT${1/\s.*//}

where 'editme' is the default 'doubly-editable' value. If you add a new snippet shortcut in the 'Key Equivalent' field (I used ctrl-shift-alt-W) you can then wrap any selection in an editable pair of words. Depending on what you need, the same syntax might be expanded to match your requirements?

Note: once the shortcut is allocated, you can't edit a snippet in place - you need to start again (I think - couldn't find a way around that).
