[TxMt] UI - redistributing the density

[Brad Choate]

What I was describing was something interactive... like the 'Go to  
File/Symbol' windows already in TM.  In fact, Cmd+K would be an  
excellent choice for this I think.  So you'd type Cmd+K to either  
bring up a window that has an input field where you can type.  As you  
type, it filters the list of available commands/snippets/macros below  
to show matches.

Here's a crude screenshot that uses the 'Go to Symbol' window for  
illustration (which is why I have underscores instead of spaces)...

Imagine that the items would have the command/snippet/macro symbol in  
front of them to make it clear what was what.  And right-aligned  
would be the key-equivalent or the tab trigger text.

If you were to type "doc", it would show just the "documentation for  
word" command. Typing out: "doc open" would show the documentation  
for Perl's "open" function.

And much like the go to symbol window, if more than one item has the  
same name, it would append the bundle name at the end to make them  
unique.
