I often want to find uncommented print statements in my (Python) file. I have a simple regex ^\s*print that does the job. Is there a way to assign this to a keyboard shortcut so it will Find the next uncommented print, without me having to enter the regex?

My first thought was to create a command that will find it, but I don’t have a way to move the cursor to the line once I find it.

    You can use the Macro feature inside TextMate:

    1. Go to Bundles > Macros > Start Recording (⌥⌘M)
    2. Perform a single find command with your regex
    3. Go to Bundles > Macros > Stop Recording (⌥⌘M)
    4. Go to Bundles > Macros > Save Last Recording (⌃⌘M)
    5. Save your macro with a suitable name and keyboard shortcut into which ever bundle you like. A nice idea would be to save it into the default Python Bundle, so that the keyboard shortcut is only available when you have a Python file open.
