hi TextMate'rs,

i have the key binding blues. i'm an old vi guy and i still cannot deal with the mouse when writing. so, i want to be able to use TextMate *without* using the mouse. moreover, i want to be able to use all the keys on the *home row* of my query keyboard (e.g., a-s-d- f-g-h-j-k-l-;).

my question is how do i ensure that my keybindings override everything? for example, TextMate uses ^h in lots of different bundles and i have to hand-edit a dozen different bundles to change ^h to something else. (i thought control- functions were reserved for user stuff?).

right now, i'm using KeyBindings.dict in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate, like so:

{ /* vi-like navigation */ "^f" = "pageDown:"; "^b" = "pageUp:"; "^w" = "moveWordRight:"; "^h" = "moveLeft:"; "^j" = "moveDown:"; "^k" = "moveUp:"; "^l" = "moveRight:"; "^e" = "scrollLineDown:"; "^y" = "scrollLineUp:"; }

also, is there anyplace that has the definitive documentation for what the keybindings are? (TextMate's 'Show Keyboard Shortcuts' isn't showing my changes). i'm mostly interested in text navigation and basic word processing functions. i can't believe that i'm nostalgic for WordPerfect circa 1990 when everything clearly defined via function keys and you could by a reference card for it :). neverthelesss, TextMate has more promise than anything i've seen in years.

finally, are there example key binding configurations for TextMate that are emacs-like or bash-like or vi-like?

thanks in advance, -darren
