This is rather difficult for me to administrate, so chances are low.

This is what gives you consistency across applications, allow  
applications to be accessed by disabled users, cause OS upgrades to  
introduce new features in existing applications, and so on -- you  
want as much as possible to be handled by the OS/framework.

TM though is a little atypical, in that I overwrite a lot of standard  
behavior (not always ideal, withnessed e.g. by the broken CJK input  
method), but there are still much which is handled by the framework,  
and e.g. when you press cmd-C, TextMate does not see this key, it  
sees the “copy:” action method (and doesn't know it was a key press  
that resulted in the message).
