BBEdit includes a feature called "placeholders". Placeholders are any text surrounded by <# and #>. When you select "Go to Next Placeholder" from the Search menu, the text (and the markers) are selected.
And one of the big advantages of BBEdit's system (as opposed to the system used by another popular text editor that supports "tabbing") is that you can _always_ return to these placeholders at any time, regardless of cursor position.
For example, you insert a function call from G.T.'s clipping set, then move your cursor outside of the function to copy text from elsewhere in the file, you can use your "Go to Previous/Next Placeholder" command to jump to the placeholders in the previously inserted function. This is not the case in the aforementioned competing text editor. In that case, once you leave the inserted function, that's it, no more tabbing to its parameters.
