Using TextMate, how can I wrap everything in PHP tags

textmate

A question about TextMate. For example, I just typed var_dump($codes);, and I forgot to write <?php ?>. So, now I want to highlight the area that I want to wrap the php tags around. How can I do this?

Simply add a new command called for ex 'Wrap in ' in your php bundle editor (Bundles->Bundle Editors->Show Bundle Editor)

In the Activation choose: Key Equivalent and hit: CMD+SHIFT+W (or whatever you'd like that's not already taken).

Leave the scope selector to source.php

In the snippet window write:

<?php  $TM_SELECTED_TEXT ?>

Now select anything and hit CMD+SHIFT+W and you're done

How to prevent TextMate from overwriting symbolic links

Disable Atomic Saves in Advanced Preferences.

When atomic saves are enabled, TextMate actually writes to a new file on Save and then moves the file over (hence overwriting your symbolic link).

See http://manual.macromates.com/en/saving_files#atomic_saves for more info.

Using TextMate, is there a hotkey to move the cursor out of the quotations

You didn't give any examples, but if this is your use case:

somefunction("onestring", "otherstring")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^abc^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then you're asking for a hotkey to move your cursor from position ab to bc, which can be accomplished by hitting → (right arrow key) once. Any hotkey combination would result in more key-presses than this and therefore not be beneficial (unless you want to avoid moving your hand off the home position, in which case you may want to look at ViMate).

For finding hotkeys the Textmate bundle contains a function called Show Keyboard Shortcuts, which lets you do exactly that. Hit ^⌥⌘K to quickly access it.
