4.5.2 Find Clipboard

Two useful key equivalents are ⌘E and ⌘G. The first copies the selection to the shared find clipboard. This works in the majority of applications and allows you to find the next occurrence of that string by then pressing ⌘G.

The find clipboard works across applications so whether in Safari, TextEdit, Mail, TextMate, Terminal, Console, or similar, one can copy the selected text to the find clipboard, switch application and use ⌘G to find that string.

In addition TextMate offers ⇧⌘E to copy the selection to the replace clipboard. This is often useful to save a trip to the find dialog, for example if you want to replace newlines with the pipe character (|) for a list of items, select a newline, press ⌘E to use that as the find string. Now type a |, select it and press ⇧⌘E so that it is copied to the replace clipboard.

The next step is then to either press ⌃⌘F to perform the replacement in the entire document, or select the range in which you want the replacement to occur and use ⌃⇧⌘F instead.

Use MacVim ;-)!
