What are some useful TextMate shortcuts? [closed]

Question

Macs are renowned (or bemoaned) for having an extensive number of shortcuts. However, OS X itself pales in comparison to the shortcut lists in TextMate and its bundles.

Answer 2

str + alt + F3 = list of available functions

str + alt + F1 = short description of the function you've just completed.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur

For example, place your carrot over background:

body {
  background: red;
}

Hit command + h and you'll see something like:
