Shortcut for locating files in TextMate

I haven't yet actually hunkered down and learned TextMate as a key tool like I did when I learned Vim at the sage advice of The Pragmatic Programmer. But I should.

One bit I picked up recently: instead of scrolling through the file drawer to find a certain file in the project, just hit Command-T. Up pops a nice filename search box. Type a key word from the file name, and a list of filenames appears below. Type a little more to shorten the list, or just use arrows and Return, up pops the file. No mouse.

Old hat for many, I'm sure, but for me it makes a big difference.

Control + Command + T is another essential. It brings up a bundle item selector. Type "sort" and get a list of sort commands, etc...
