What language Kbd are you using?

That was my initial suggestion (command-period), but as Allan and you 
have pointed out, it's used for "stop" in most applications, and whilst 
it still makes a little sense, Allan tries wherever possible to not 
tread on HIG :)

You can re-bind the key using Apple's system preferences or one of the 
plists in TextMate.app if it's not working for you...
