TextMate Minor Mode

;; This minor mode exists to mimick TextMate's awesome
;; features. 

;;    ⌘T - Go to File
;;  ⇧⌘T - Go to Symbol
;;    ⌘L - Go to Line
;;  ⇧⌘L - Select Line (or expand Selection to select lines)
;;    ⌘/ - Comment Line (or Selection/Region)
;;    ⌘] - Shift Right (currently indents region)
;;    ⌘[ - Shift Left  (not yet implemented)
;;  ⌥⌘] - Align Assignments
;;  ⌥⌘[ - Indent Line
;;  ⌘RET - Insert Newline at Line's End
;;  ⌥⌘T - Reset File Cache (for Go to File)

;; A "project" in textmate-mode is determined by the presence of
;; a .git directory. If no .git directory is found in your current
;; directory, textmate-mode will traverse upwards until one (or none)
;; is found. The directory housing the .git directory is presumed
;; to be the project's root.

;; In other words, calling Go to File from 
;; ~/Projects/fieldrunners/app/views/towers/show.html.erb will use
;; ~/Projects/fieldrunners/ as the root if ~/Projects/fieldrunners/.git
;; exists.
