Ah, I see now. Yes that would be a nice feature, but surely that  
should be a built in feature of TextMate's, i.e. a combo like ctrl- 
esc that would pop-up a menu of all commands that work in the current  
scope. Allan, I'm guessing this would not be too hard to implement,  
since you already have to know this list of commands for key events,  
right? That gear button is so lonely there, I'm sure it would welcome  
some company :)

Mind you, this in most cases will still be a long list, for instance  
it will always include all commands for all version control systems,  
all Text bundle commands that I very rarely use, math etc.
Maybe some customization of this pop-up would be nice, e.g. "omit  
things from this bundle" and so on. Or maybe it could still be split  
up in bundles, except only the relevant commands show up.

I just think establishing a key equivalent in all commands for this  
purpose is quite an overkill. Imagine having to change it because it  
overlaps with a keycombo you use in your system for other purposes.  
Or simply because ctrl-shift-esc is an immensely hard combination of  
keys to press in some layouts. It's not enough to edit the  
keybindings file anymore.
