Hi.
I just read the latest news on the TextMate site about a "quick launch" 
thingie for selecting a project file

]

I haven't tested this out in the beta but I think this is a great idea. 
  However, I have a much simpler request that is related to navigating 
around TextMate mouse-free.  How about a key command to switch focus 
from the editor pane to the project-file-list pane.  This is about the 
only thing left that I have to touch the mouse for when editing!  
Currently I manually click on a file in the project-file-list pane, use 
the arrows to find another one, then press enter to open it for editing 
(unless I'm in the mood for mousing).  now... if there was a way to 
jump back to the file-list pane via key-command while editing that 
would be great.  Of course, the quick launch will be helpful but the 
above request seems like an easy feature to add, no?  Net News Wire 
Lite, which has the same drawer-content window layout, allows for 
movement between these panes via left/right arrows ... making RSS 
reading completely mouse free.  Emacs users will love you for it Allan 
:)

thx, K
