Exactly.  And most of them are obvious and well-documented; and many of 
these, I like.  The keyboard "recommendation"/"order"[1] wasn't obvious 
at all and had it been as serious as I thought it was, I wouldn't have 
liked it/you/TextMate any more at all.

By the way, aren't you exaggerating a bit?  If  the lack of features is 
in each and every case carefully provided by you, why do you have such a 
lot of features in your to-do list?

[1] Sorry again for the strong reaction, but I've heard this missionary 
keyboard recommendation too often from people who only write programmes 
with their computer – and even for email use some strange TeXnical 
encodings ("a,"o,"u,"s,…) that could have been obsolete a long time 
otherwise.  I just don't want to be converted to [read but especially] 
write like this, and as I respect other people's conventions and 
“/"d at Unt raIt/” in SAMPA or IPA transcription, even though it may be 
easier to write than English orthography, I also expect some 
consideration for my working/writing habits from others, too…

Scanning through the bundles, I only noticed such bindings in  the 
bundle of Duane Johnson (Alt-S/F, entirely my choice to install it, easy 
to change…) and some unreachable keys.

Again: there is no keyboard overview for TextMate shortcuts, is there? 
(I imagine it would be quite difficult to programme, anyway.)

Yes. Cmd-Option-[ would be another (I think that was "Indent Line"; at 
least I remapped this function).
