Tip: TextMate autopairing

It doesn’t take long to realize that TextMate inserts a closing character when ever you type certain opening characters. For instance, if you type an opening parenthesis it will automatically insert the closing one. What is not obvious is that if you select some text and enter one of the opening characters TexMate will surround that selection with the character pair.
