Well perhaps there should be a hot key for it or something.

Yes! TextMate is *not* a word processor, it is a text processor! Everything
you do with TextMate results in a file with plain text, where no fonts are
defined, no italics, no underline, no folding, just the text. The way
things look is simply a result of the workings of TextMate. The result of
this is also that you can grab any editor and work on the same file: use
TextMate, TextPad, vi(m), emacs, SubEthaEdit, BBEdit, etc.
