RubyAMP is a TextMate bundle that makes you more productive in editing, navigating, and debugging Ruby code. Now you can easily:

auto-complete from all open tabs
jump to a method, class, or fixture named under the cursor
start the debugger on a series of RSpec examples and break at the current line
inspect by highlighting to evaluate to tooltip or clipboard
fire up a Merb/Rails server or console for your current app
tail development.log

cp a.txt /some/long/path/and/some_other_name.txt
vim $_

will open the just-moved file without retyping the whole damn thing. so useful.
