I've been struggling against TextMate's clipboard manager for some time. I use PTHPasteboard, which works against all applications, and serves the purpose of having multiple copy buffers.
It appears to fight against TextMate's clipboard manager, however. When I copy things using TextMate, sometimes (randomly) it will place the copied item straight into the second item in PTHPasteboards, so I always have to guess where my copied item is. It's very, very annoying.
Is there any way to disable TextMate's clipboard manager? I would prefer to use PTHPasteboard for clipboard management instead as it works in any application.
Thanks!

I have similar issues with Quicksilver, but have never been motivated enough to track them down.
+1 for making TM's pasteboard management optional.

Hmm, was just looking through the TextMate binary, and found this value:
OakPasteboardManager
running this yielded nothing:
defaults read com.macromates.textmate OakPasteboardManager
But, that could be because there's no value set. I wonder if there is a way to disable it through setting this value?

I used to make this work by setting the key combo for Quicksilver's clipboard history to work in all "scopes" except TextMate. Unfortunately, Quicksilver's scopes quit working in Leopard and the clipboard module eventually got so squirrelly that I just disabled it. (It started popping up whenever I quit certain apps but then it couldn't be focused, so I couldn't close it. It was also focused inconsistently when I invoked it on purpose, so sometimes I could paste from it, other times I had to mouse over it to focus it first.)

FWIW, I am also a long-time PTHPasteboard and TextMate user, but I have never noticed this problem. I am using TextMate 1.5.7, PTHPasteboard 4.4.0, and Mac OS X 10.5.5.
And I'm not sure if this is relevant, but my PTHPasteboard shortcut is set to the same shortcut that TextMate uses for clipboard history (Control+Option+Command+V).

I should have better articulated the issue.
The conflict occurs with TextMate bundle commands that send stuff to the pasteboard (IE), or when I copy stuff from the HTML output panes. I haven't had the issue right inside of TextMate, thankfully.

In that case, I am not sure what should change in TextMate. The bundle commands would (normally) use pbcopy/pbpaste and the HTML output window does not share the clipboard history support that the text editor control does.
