Hmmmmm,

I've been using Ack in project for quite a while.

I installed ackmate, and the first problem I ran into was it was
complaining about not having the rb-appscript gem installed.

So I installed that, and now ctrl-option-cmd-f and I get a "Grep in
project" window with just a text box and nothing else.

That doesn't seem to be what the usage page describes.

The Ackmate bundle doesn't show up in Textmates list of bundles, but
when I unzipped the zip file and double clicked it again, It said it
was already installed.

The other interesting thing is if I use ctrl-cmd-t to bring up the
bundle item selection window, and then hit ctrl-option-cmd-f the
ackmate dialog box comes up underneath the bundle item window.

Hmmmmmm again.

If I switch the bundle item window to find by key equivalent, I find
that the ctrl-option-cmd-f key is claimed by the RubyAmp bundle which
is where the grep in project window is coming from.

If I open the bundle editor, and filter Ack in project out of the list
then ctrl-option-cmd-f does bring up the Ackmate window, but Ackmate
is still not shown in my bundle list.

Very strange.
