You are aware of the file chooser from the navigation menu, right?

If you don't use shift-tab to go backwards in snippet placeholders, 
open TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings.dict and uncomment 
this line:
    "\031" = "selectFollowingKeyView:";

Then you have shift-tab to go to project drawer, and shift-tab will 
take you back to text view again.
