[SVN] Discoverability. Single global shortcut?

I have also just added the Ruby bundle

http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/Bundles/Ruby_testing.tmbundle/


I added the ctrl-shift-esc shortcut to everything that didn't already  
have a shortcut.
Then I added the source.ruby.rails scope for everything to have the  
same precedence in rails source (read: make it work at all)


BIG PROBLEM!

When you have stuff from different bundles in the same list they are  
grouped together with a lovely little label showing the bundle they  
come from.
Unfortunately when this happens you can no longer type the first few  
characters to select.
I think this is probably an OS problem, but it's still a problem.

A possible workaround would be for allan to change the list from  
grouping to putting the bundle name in as a disabled menu option  
instead. That would keep the type-to-select thing working. Ideally,  
apple would fix the list thing to make it work the "right" way, but  
let's not hold our breath.
