Don't be put off, by all this, cause it seems to be missing from it. If you like editing CSS+html together, and occasionally tweaking some php in your WP blog, i think you can't do quicker than it.

I was/am considering Coda, but I found all kinds of gems here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the tips of my fingers (who, thanks to you, will have much less distance to travel on a regular basis now). My god, this is an amazing post.

For commenting out multiple lines, have you used Coda's funky block editing feature? Alt-drag across the lines to select the range, then anything you type gets typed on _all_ the lines...

The combination is pretty powerful considering how much flexibility you have in YummyFTP preview pane. You can edit files directly on a server(and locally) or appoint Textmate as the editor and choose "upload on save." You can resume uploads and keep server connections alive as long as you want. My only complaint is tag auto-complete is not in TextMate and I could have sworn it used to be in there. I use a combination of Textmate and YummyFTP.

I hate bouncing back and forth between so many different apps and utilities. There are some great tools here, but I wish Coda would incorporate more power features.

I have been thinking of switching to as many open-source or free applications lately. This will indeed give me more options to consider. Sweet free alternatives.

When you want to encode them, select the portion of text (even a whole paragraph that includes a few special characters) and then, in the Coda menu-bar, go to Text>Encode Entities and all those special character will be encoded to the correct HTML entities. This means you can work on the text in a human-readbale form until you are ready to encode it all. I think it would still be useful for the Coda clippings palette to include these because I don't remember the keyboard shortcuts for the less common characters.
