Setting Shortcut Keys in Textmate

Question

I am switching to textmate and there are a few things I want to change. I have tried Googling for the answer, but haven't found a simple explanation for how to rebind shortcuts globally.

First, tab switching doesn't work with Cmd+Shift+{ and Cmd+Shift+} This works in nearly every other application (FF, Terminal, etc.)

How do bind those keys to switch tabs?

Second, I would like Ctrl+j/k/l/; to move the cursor, it it possible to rebind that command to the arrow keys?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes. For the arrow keys, you can record a macro (Bundles > Macros > Start Recording, [press an arrow], Stop Recording, Save Last Recording. It'll make a macro with the one command moveLeft: or similar. Set a key equivalent and you're done.

For the tab switching, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts and add new shortcuts for menu items called "Next File Tab" and "Previous File Tab". Restart TextMate, and you're done.
