TextMate: how to highlight the entire line to copy and paste?

Question

I find the control+a and control+e hard to press, and for some reason control+shift+e doesn't seem to highlight the entire line.

I want to copy the line into my clipboard. How do I do this?

Answer 1

To highlight a line in TextMate, Shift+Command+L is what you want.

Answer 2

Command-LeftArrow Shift-DownArrow is one way
