Sorry, just couldn't resist and there are still so many people out there
doing it wrong...

However, if you would have space as expansion trigger, then you will have
trouble typing just 'fr'. Eclipse uses ⌘-Space for it, might be a nice
alternative.

I believe there is a file in TextMate containing keybindings, but I
forgot where it was.

Aaargh! Use XHTML and CSS !

<div class="makeSpace"/>

css:
.makeSpace { width=x; height=y; }

;-)
