One of the things that still puzzles me about how people use TextMate is how they navigate the source code.
I can navigate quite fast on both Emacs and Vim using etags (or ctags). You just basically put the cursor over a function call, and press M-. (or Ctrl-]) and that takes you to the definition of the function. To go back to where you were, you just press M-* (or Ctrl- g) and you're back.
A while ago I wrote a little script that creates a tags file and looks up functions etc. It isn't very pretty but functional and relatively quick. I wrote up a quick description here:
Let me know if that is of any use. BTW I tried to record a macro that would combine setting a bookmark and then calling the ctags lookup, but apparently it is not possible to set bookmarks from a macro.
