C-u 60 - that's a Ctrl+U followed by a "60" followed by a "-", which makes entering a repeated sequence of characters easy.

Is there any way to do something like this in TextMate?

You can identically duplicate this functionality across all (Cocoa) OS X apps. Enter the following in Terminal:

defaults write -g NSRepeatCountBinding -string "^u"

Now, by default this conflicts with TextMate's binding for uppercase... I don't know which will take priority. You can make the NSRepeatCountBinding string something different, or you can change TextMate's setting in Textmate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings.dict
