Topic: Slick Textmate Snipppets in flickr-rails-ajax.mov

Hey everyone! This is my first post.  Anyway, on the flickr-rails-ajax.mov screencast on the rubyonrails.com site, I was wondering how he just types in 'html' and it goes indented with the closed html tag after it--I know there is the control + < shortcut, which will create the same thing, but it looked like he just typed in 'html' and hit something--like a snippet.

Any of you know what he did? Is it custom?

Ive seen DHH do this exact same thing on his screencast about the 20 minute blog.

Thanks!

I'm guessing it is something that was only in the older versions of TextMate. Perhaps that is how the control + < functioned back then. Either way, it's not too difficult to follow that with a return to do the same thing.
