TextMate: Command-E is an existing "internal" keyboard shortcut

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Command-E is used for "Use Selection as Find". Command-Shift-E is also 
taken.

Suggest using Control-Shift-E (if E is the desired modifier) to avoid 
conflicting with other commands and bundles.

Control-Shift-E is much harder to type on Mac rather than Cmd+E. But anyway, 
convenient keystroke is too 
personal for each user. For example, I'm using F1 to expand abbreviation. Also, 
I'm trying to maintain a single 
keystroke for every editor's plugin

It doesn't really matter if you like the keyboard shortcut that I chose or not, 
the fact 
remains that this bundle stomps on a core TextMate keyboard shortcut and the 
default 
shortcut, despite user's personal preferences, should be something that doesn't 
damage default editor behavior.

With TextMate's core functionality, you would normally select a span of text 
and hit cmd+e to define it as your 
search term. You can then use cmd+f and cmd+g. When this bundle usurps this 
functionality it blows away the highlighted span of text and then does nothing.

May I suggest shift+tab? Tab is the expected method for expansion in Textmate. 
Adding the shift modifier 
makes a lot of sense, a sort of "super expansion".

In textmate how do I change it from Command+E to something else like the F1 
key???
This is driving me nuts!

OK, I'll think about new shortcut TM.

whitink, go to Bundles > Bundle Editor > Show Bundle Editor, find and expand 
Zen Coding item, choose "Espand 
Abbreviation" command and change activation key

Thanks! Also, after some testing I've found this isn't just a TextMate default, 
but an OSX system-wide key 
command.

I vote for SHIFT+TAB. It's the one I tried before knowing about CMD+E
