[TxMt] Switching between bundle editor and document windows

[Mark Day]

I've got that installed, but I don't see how that applies.  I'm not  
having a problem editing the snippet itself.  (Using Edit in TextMate  
seems like overkill, and just adds steps when editing small snippets  
or commands.)  The problem is switching to a document to *use* (test)  
the snippet, and the changes I've made to the snippet don't take  
effect unless I click outside of the text field, or press Control-Tab  
to move focus to a different text field, etc.
