I understood by "…move around…" scrolling to other places in the  
file WITHOUT moving the caret. By pressing ⇢ and ⇠ one scrolls back  
to the caret.

If you "move around" by using the caret then you can make usage of  
AppleScript (see also attachment):

Create a tmcommand:

Input: none
Output: discard
Command:
cat <<-AS | iconv -f UTF-8 -t MACROMAN | osascript -- 2>&1 1>/dev/null
tell application "TextMate" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "TextMate" to tell  
menu bar 1 to tell menu bar item "Edit" to tell menu "Edit" to click  
menu item "Undo"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "TextMate" to tell  
menu bar 1 to tell menu bar item "Edit" to tell menu "Edit" to click  
menu item "Redo"
AS


The iconv stuff is only needed to be compatible with Tiger.

One could speed up it by pre-compiling the AppleScript and run it.
