I've mapped my Caps Lock key to act as the Ctrl key (in Keyboard & Mouse preferences > Modifier Keys...). Problem is, not all TextMate combos work with this.
[Hear me now, believe me later. I had an old Sun keyboard that was laid out this way, and it's the only way to fly. Especially on the MacBook Pro where the normal Ctrl key is quite inconvenient to hit.]
I like the sound of this, and I'm going to try it for a while. My Caps Lock is currently disabled anyway (I don't think I've ever seen anyone use caps lock except by accident). [1]
I've always wanted the caps lock to be replaced by an alternative tab, so that you could have one tab button for the tab character and another for moving around form items and such.

[1] Actually, I do remember once, a long time, working with someone who used caps lock for every capital letter she wrote. She also used the space bar to delete things (if you select text and press the space bar, the text goes away). Her filenames would often have upto eight spaces in a row in them.
