Re: Blocks of text in text edit

[Cheryl Homiak]

Well, ok, but that's going to get tedious for whole books of the  
Bible as I'll have to keep downarrowing looking for the next book  
name. To give an example--just illustrating not trying to gripe  
because text edit isn't emacs--in emacs I would do ctrl-s and start  
typing the string I'm looking for. As I type, I'm moved to the  
occurrence of the word; of course this can change as I add letters.  
If the first occurrence isn't the one I want, I simply do ctrl-s  
again and again until it gets to the one I want and then I hit enter.  
Command-space marks the beginning of the block of text; then the ctrl- 
search again for the end of the block. Then with ctrl-w or alt-w  
depending whether I'm deleting or copying, the whole block is taken  
care of. If copying to someplace else, I go there and do ctrl-y. So  
you may accomplish the whole thing for a huge block of text in six or  
seven keystrokes from search to mark to transfer. Maybe I will  
suggest this to apple though I can't imagine others haven't already  
done so.
