With the US key map, that'd be:

     "^_" = "undo:";

You generally only specify shift ($) for function keys. For normal  
keys use the character produced by pressing shift + key.

The ctrl-S key is bound in the key bindings file inside the  
TextMate.app bundle (which takes precedence over the one in ~/ 
Library). So you need to copy this one:

cp /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings.dict ~/ 
Library/Application\ Support/TextMate

Then edit the version in ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate  
(which takes precedence over the default), changing:
       "^s" = "ISIM_incrementalSearch:";
into: "^s" = "saveDocument:";

And it should work. TextMate doesn't do anything on ctrl-X AFAIK.

Thanks! :)
