Pardon my lack of regex and TM skills - would it be possible to set up textmate so that I can highlight the current sentence?

Not if by highlight you mean to have the syntax recognize it and give it different color. Allan plans to have some support for such dynamic scopes for some time in the distant future, but for now the syntax grammars are static.

You could however write a macro that would *select* the current sentence, if that is what you want. Having it do a backwards search with regexp enabled and find: (?<=[.\n])[^.\n]*. would probably do it. You can tweak it appropriately depending on what kind of sentences you want to catch.
