[TxMt] 'set mark' capabilities?

[A J]

I am wondering if TextMate has any kind of emacs-like 'set mark' feature.
I found an old list msg that indicated it did not in 2004:
 <http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-October/000938.html>
but it looks like it was in the pipe, though I haven't run down any
newer info.
(I can see that my cocoa keybinding of 'ctl-space' to 'set mark' does
not work even though most of my key bindings are preserved in
textmate).
