[TxMt] escape-key for completion in latex

[Claus Haslauer]

Hi,
I am trying to follow this approach in the latex-help file:

In the case where what is expected is a label, then pressing escape  
will similarly offer all matching labels from the TeX document.  
Depending on your naming conventions, this could for instance offer a  
list of all theorems: If the labels for theorems are all of the form  
thm:labelname, and you have included the colon (:) in the list of  
word characters in TextMate’s preferences, then pressing escape when  
the caret is right before the closing brace in \ref{thm} will offer  
as completion options all labels corresponding to theorems.
If there are many matching completions, it is often more convenient  
to use the pull-down-list versions of the commands, which are  
triggered by ⌥⎋.

I do have ":_" (just a colon and an underscore, no quotations)in the  
preference pane as Word Characters. Is this ok or do they need to be  
separated / in quotations / ... ?
Neither pressing <escape> nor <escape> + <alt> while the caret is  
right in front of the closing bracket in latex mode, doesn't do  
anything.

Now, I looked into the bundle editor, into the latex bundle in my  
installation:
1) <escape> is the key equivalent for bibdesk completion
2) <alt>+<escape> is the key equivalent for "Citation based on  
Current Word / Selection" AND for "Label Based on Current Word /  
Selection" --- this seems a little weird to me. Is this how it should  
be originally? Or have I changed this accidently at some point?

I remember a time when hitting  <escape> (I think) actually has  
worked and I used "eqn:" and "fig:" for labeling and referencing  
equations and figures, respectively. Should the difference between  
<alt>+<escape> and <escape> only that <alt>+<escape> should offer a  
pull-down list and hitting <escape> multiple times would move through  
the possible choices?

Is this something that got changed over the releases (I am working  
with cutting edge)? That leads me to another question: when a bundle  
gets updated in the bundle repository... do those changes get updated  
in each new (cutting edge) release or would I check them out and  
update them as I would with any other "default" bundle?

Thanks for your help,
Claus
