Is there an equivalent in TextMate to C-x C-f in Emacs, where you can specify the path and name of a file to open using the keyboard? I know about CMD-O but that brings up the GUI File/Open dialog.
Little known fact: from that GUI file/open dialog (and not just for TextMate, but for all of the cocoa open dialogs), you can type a slash or tilde character, it will give you a "Go to folder" text field that completes as you type. So it's not quite the same, but is very helpful still.

For new threads USE THIS: textmate@lists.macromates.com (threading gets destroyed and the universe will collapse if you don't) http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate
Thanks Brad,
I noticed the popup you mention will take a file path but will only go to the folder the file is in. However if I just start typing the filename once it's done that, it selects the file in the folder window.
From there I can hit enter and voila. A little more work than C-x C-F,
but infinitely better than a full GUI navigation of the path. Thanks again.

Or even easier, you can just type:
mate /path/to/file &
on a line, and then execute that with ⌃R

why don't you use spotlight or quicksilver for that? If it's defined that the file should be opened in textmate and as long as the file is in your home-folder and not "hidden", you should be settled, shouldn't you?
