I encourage everyone who can, to switch to the US keymap, it is such a productivity gain when coding/using the shell, to have easy to reach /, , [, ], {, }, |, ;, :, etc. key. Of course I know some perceive this almost as saying “boot into Windows” :p
Not supporting non-US keyboard layouts is a severe limitation and should be stated clearly in the manual and on the web page. (This is not to say that it makes no sense – it probably does make sense for you.)
Had I read your recommendation earlier, I wouldn't have paid for TextMate – seriously. You don't offer a refund, do you?

I think you should refrain from making statement like that Allan, really.
My keyboards were, are and will be AZERTY. - Being forced to make option + whatever then the letter to have accented chars would be plain stupid in french. - I'm used to azerty and a 20+ year habit is hard to change. - It would be a nightmare every time I'd have to use something else that my macs (@ work, etc.) - I don't write to my friends by coding/using the shell. - I don't want to use the option key every time I write my name. ;)
Why not asking me to stop speaking french altogether?
The only thing that piss me off on my belgian keyboard is the need to use shift to get a dot, but I changed in 10s with the free Ukelele[1]

On the other hand I don't understand you neither, Bernhard. What's so hard about changing a keybinding or two??? e.g. I changed cmd + [ to cmd + (, etc.
If you are ready to drop TM for such a minor thing, I wonder why you bought it first...
