TextMate: how to highlight the entire line to copy and paste?

I find the control+a and control+e hard to press, and for some reason control+shift+e doesn't seem to highlight the entire line.

I want to copy the line into my clipboard. How do I do this?

To highlight a line in TextMate, Shift+Command+L is what you want.

If you want to duplicate a line you can use this shortcut:

  1. Cmd + left arrow to go at the beginning of the line
  2. Ctrl + Shift + D to duplicate the entire line below the one you want to duplicate

Duplicate Line / Selection (āŒƒā‡§D) ā€” this will duplicate the current line, leaving the caret in the same column on the new line, or if there is a selection, duplicate that.

Source: textMate official website

PERSONAL WARNING:

Selecting a word, or whatever, and apply this shortcut will duplicate next to the original one. Not below.

TIPS

If you want to move your new duplicated line or whatever:

  1. Ctrl + Cmd + arrow up will move up
  2. Ctrl + Cmd + arrow down will move down

Happy coding šŸ––
