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.
