Since TextMate is Cocoa underneath, it supports most of expected Mac  
interface behavior:

OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGUserInput/chapter_2_section_3.html
maybe more to the point (keyboard behavior):

OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGKeyboardShortcuts/chapter_12_section_1.html
To my knowledge, custom key commands are in the Navigation menu.

However, TextMate also extends NSTextView, the default Cocoa framework  
for text applications.  Maybe there should be some more documentation  
of its extended features?  The one that comes to mind that I use a lot  
is ctl+opt+left/right arrow which moves not to the next/previous  
semantic word (like opt+left/right arrow) but to the next/previous  
word, separated by underscores.  Like: a_big_lowercase_variable could  
be navigated with ctl+opt+left/right arrow.  ctl+opt+delete is also  
implemented in addition to opt+delete.
