i'm doing that from terminal:

$ touch ~/.MacOSX/.plist
$ ^touch^mate

it works fine but i'm extrimely rare need to write to/open from hidden folders so if you need to do it often - yep, option in Save dialog would be good.

I was creating an environment.plist file to save in ~/.MacOSX --- my
immediate work around was to save the file to the Desktop and use
Finder to move the file to .MacOSX --- I have set Finder to show all
files using either the defaults command or TinkerTool.

A search of the mailing list indicates that Cmd-Shift-G opens a sub
dialogue box to the File -> Save dialogue that allows you to type the
name of the directory directly but that would seem hard to discover.
Is there a preference in Textmate that modifies the File -> Save
dialogue to show hidden files ?
