Why do you want to type control codes directly? It's a lot safer to use escape sequences.

Well, I can actually type these things into most Textmate controls using the ⌃Q trick. For example, create a file with the string "foobar" in it somewhere, bring up the Find dialogue
Yes, because the find dialog uses a regular Cocoa text box. The textmate control I'm referring to is the main editor window.
