Sorry, no ideas about how to recover your text, but a couple of things to keep in mind for next time: 1. Quicksilver keeps its own clipboard, with history, so that might save things. 2. My understanding is that only the window on which the command is executed is frozen, other windows should work just fine. 3. Pressing ctrl-C should in principle stop the execution of the command, and restore control to the window. 4. The #textmate IRC channel is a good source of help in such cases.

Is there anyway to recover a file lost when TextMate crashed? I was submitting a post using the blogging bundle. When it asked for the name of the post, I tried to scroll up in the document to see my paragraph. After that, TextMate would not respond at all. I could not get back to that dialog box or access the document.
Since I had just copied all the text, I thought it was safe to Force Quit TextMate. After restarting TextMate I was shocked to find my text was not on the clipboard. Now, I am desparate to recover that file. I've checked in /Users/JN/Library/Caches/TextMate for any files, but didn't have any luck. Anyone else have any ideas where TextMate might store a file that is being edited but is not currently saved?
