Hello,
I'm getting used to ctrl-h to replace backspace (as it's simpler to hit, especially when making caps-lock being ctrl), and it works in many places in OS X, except with TextMate, where it invokes the help. I could not find where to change that shortcut so that it becomes backspace instead of help. Is there a bundle involved?
Thanks,
Alan

There are many bundles that have individually defined ⌃H to do something useful. It would be a pain to change them all, but you of course have that option.
FYI, you can see if a keystroke is associated with a bundle item by hitting ⌃⌘T, selecting “Key Equivalent” and hitting the keystroke. It's context sensitive, so ⌃H, for instance, would only show the help command for the current language.
To see ALL the keystrokes (defined in bundles), there's always ⌃⌥⌘K.

Thanks a lot for these hints, with them I was able to remove the shortcuts that I wanted to avoid. (There are not that many of them, fortunately.) It's now working as I want.
Thanks again,
Alan
Wonderful tips. Is there a quick way to find this for those of us who may be looking? This is a general rant, not directed to TextMate or its community. I know quite a few members on this forum are involved in assorted projects, so this may be of value. :-)
In general, (again not specific to TM) help documentation, etc. tends to miss a few points. Forums and groups like this are wonderful at filling those gaps. But, is there a process to ensure this information is either 1) more clearly discoverable via the web site/help material or 2) added to the web/help when found missing?
