Bingo on the ARD diagnosis. Now the keystroke shows up in KeyCodes. (It was such a longstanding problem, I was concerned it was something hardware related. ARD! Argh!)

Bingo on the OakBundleItemsPopUpMenuKeyEquivalent suggestion. I was able to find an errant setting in my com.macromates.textmate.plist. Now my GearMenu works with ^Escape (as desired).

Well, I'm really glad you're on the job. Thank you for sharing the caveat(s) about non-ideal keyboard control. I think just making live keystroke mappings visible (i.e., reverse map keystroke to command(s)) would be a huge step in ShowBundles, as well as Macros). For example, perhaps add a column listing any mapped keystroke(s) in the ShowBundles listing next to each entry (a la QuickSilver in its Preferences->Triggers listing). Any additions to reverse mapping basics would be icing on the cake. IMO.

Thanks so much,

As for how to remap it: OakBundleItemsPopUpMenuKeyEquivalent

I am aware that the current key binding system is fragmented and thus confusing. This comes from drawing on the OS as much as possible, which is necessary for several reasons. Even if I want, I can’t write a full replacement for what the OS does with “events”, i.e. to have better control of things, but I am doing what I can to make things appear more harmonized in the future — at the same time I also need to actually give up some of my currently “replaced” event handling code, to enable system features that I just can’t recreate.

If/when you add that feature, please add a column to the command viewer (for both types of searching) for the TextMate command symbol that shows up in macros as well. I have some need of that. For instance, I'd like to search for Gear Menu. On my OSX MacBook Pro, for some reason, the key ^-escape (Gear Menu) does not register at all with TextMate. I do not know why. I can not remap (Gear Menu) because it doesn't exist in the menu system that I can find. I'd like to remap it manually to another key.

Which segues to another request. Please make the macros editable so that steps can be deleted, and steps can be added (again, the ever elusive Gear Menu comes to mind).

Which brings up another request. With all these wonderful macros running around, please add outliner organization to the Bundle Editor to enable some organization of items into groups/categories, etc..

I know that's a lot, but it's all about the keystrokes, so please make the keystrokes first class citizens. That is, please make them easily searched, reverse engineered, macroized, edited (macros), and categorizable for organization and sharing.

What a great editor. I look forward to 2.0!-)

The system will, when you type a sequence of letters, sort all the items in the menu (alphabetically), then it will find (in this sorted list) the first item which is not (lexicographically) lower than what you typed.

It will select that item in the original menu.

This means that even if we did place ‘Diff With Newest (HEAD)’ as the first item starting with ‘D’, the system would still pick ‘Diff Revision…’.
