TextMate: gear menu won't open with Ctrl-Escape

up vote 0 down vote favorite

The title says it all :) I am trying to open the gear menu when the caret is inside e.g. an 'echo' inside a .php file. Ctrl-Esc does nothing.

Can someone think of a way to debug this?

	Do you have any custom keyboard shortcut defined? Any application launcher like QuickSilver or similar? – slhck Jan 12 at 13:08
	Did you install some program with global keyboard shortcuts, such as Launchbar, Quicksilver, Alfred, Butler, KeyRemap4Macbook, FastScripts? Are you running the TextMate 2 preview (icon is a flower) instead of the stable release of TextMate? Are you running Remote Management or Screen Sharing on your Mac? – Daniel Beck Jan 12 at 13:11
	TextMate is the regular stable version. I am running some programs that have global shortcuts (ShiftIt e.g.), but haven't yet found one that uses that shortcut. How would I find the shortcut in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist? – Joseph Tura Jan 12 at 13:20
	Run `plutil -convert json -o foo.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist` and open `foo.plist` in TextMate. Reformat Document from the JavaScript bundle. Search for an occurrence of `53` in one of the entries, that's `Escape`'s key code. – Daniel Beck Jan 12 at 13:28
	Hmm... I checked the plist, there is only one occurence of 53, and that is not in conjunction with 262144, but with 1048576, which should be cmd... – Joseph Tura Jan 12 at 13:44
