It's pretty basic really --- I've got a project setup in TM and quite frequently, I will need to make a copy of a file inside of the project [...] Can I make a command that might do the duplication?

Yes, make a command that saves current file (since it duplicates what's on disk). The actual command should be:

--------8<--------

# so we can work with relative paths cd "$TM_DIRECTORY"

# construct a default name for the duplicate def_name=`perl -pe <<<"$TM_FILENAME" 's/^(.*?)(.[^.]*)?$/$1 copy$2/'`

# prompt user for a name CocoaDialog inputbox --text "$def_name" --button1 "Duplicate" -- button2 "Cancel"|{

# if user selected 'Duplicate' and file doesn't exist read res; read new_name; if [[ "$res" == "1" && ! -e "$new_name" ]]; then

# do the actual duplication cp -p "$TM_FILENAME" "$new_name"

# force TM to refresh project drawer and open duplicate { osascript -e 'tell application "SystemEvents" to activate' \ -e 'tell application "TextMate" to activate' open -a TextMate "$new_name"; } &>/dev/null &
