Surely if you change editor you learn the 'new' way of doing things.  
If Vim was doing it right you wouldn't be moving to TM. What you may  
be losing with the feature you're describing must be out-weighed by  
the things you are gaining - other wise you would still be mainly  
using Vim?

If TM can't do what you're looking for, how about one of the third  
party apps that insert snippets or run actions based on keystrokes?  
Something like TextExpander (there are others but I don't recall their  
names, TE works for me).

BTW, I'd be interested what it is Vim is doing for you, I've been  
using Vi/Vim for almost twenty years, never as a hard-core user, more  
on a casual basis, and am not familiar with what you describe. I  
curious in case I ever end up on a system where I have to do a lot of  
work with Vi/Vim.
