Looking for BBEdit equiv. to TextMate functions.

I've just updated to 9.x after sitting out the 8.x series. I've been using TextMate. There are two actions/keystrokes that I use frequently with TextMate and I'm wondering how to do the same in BBEdit. With the first, I could type something like: html and type control-shift-leftarrow and I'll

so, here's another difference between TM and BBedit. Projects in BBedit are a bit to smart for my taste in that it follows files if I move them around. TextMate projects store relative paths. I have a project now that requires me to go on-site one day a week. When I get back, I duplicate my curr
