I just wanted to be clear (maybe the initial reply was buried by the  
avalanche of replies to the code sense :-) but it's not ⌃> that does  
what you'd like the "closing bracket type-hit" to do, but rather  
⌘⌥. (<- that period is part of the keystroke, not the end of the  
sentence). (<- this period is the end of the sentence)

The two are quite a bit different, and both very handy.

One thing to keep in mind here is that the ⌘] key combo has been the  
defacto Mac OS key combination to indent highlighted text since way  
back when Steve Jobs was wearing diapers. So it's not TextMate that  
has to change, but rather the other OS X apps that brought their  
windows shortcuts along with them ;-)
