TextMate editor window live code return

Question

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way in TextMate that I can send out the code I'm typing on the fly to TextEdit.

Maybe some AppleScript or something, any thoughts? Thanks.

This is seriously ugly, but works though. Requirements:

• Both TextMate and TextEdit need to be running
• Both need a document open in front

What it does is simply select all, copy, and paste over the TextEdit window.

tell application "TextMate"
  activate
  tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "a" using {command down}
    keystroke "c" using {command down}
  end tell
end tell

tell application "TextEdit"
  activate
  tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "a" using {command down}
    keystroke "v" using {command down}
  end tell
end tell
