This is not a big deal at all, but I disagree.
There's a big difference between "Show Web Preview" and the "Preview"  
command:
Once you pipe it thru markdown script (Textile in my case), the  
output is dynamic, and that make it a much better solution to write  
in Markdown/Textile, IMHO. I don't understand why someone would work  
with the static version, in fact.
It took me 10 sec to erase the conflicting shortcut, but I think it's  
sad that new users could possibly miss the power of "Show Web  
Preview" when using markdown languages...

BTW, the power of "Show Web Preview" will increase when Allan will  
have time to spend on the "Pipe Text Thru" field (add history, and  
maybe an easy way to link to scripts in "Application support/Textmate/ 
Support/bin")... :-p
OK, I'm out.
