[...] Well that is certainly handy to know, thanks. Is there any modifier key to hold that will turn off the character pairing for the moment?
No, but you can make a snippet on ⌥" which only inserts ".
Normally TM disables pairing when the character to the right of the caret is a word character, but as we still do not have scope-specific word characters, it does not perceive $ to be part of the word for your code — you can add it globally though (via Preferences).
