Our custom Textmate Bundle (the rocking Mac OS X text editing tool) that we use in house to ease our typing during development. The bundle includes a number of tab trigger snippets. We know that it isn't complete with every hook, but we've just made them for the hooks we use most often. In future releases we will make be adding new shortcuts and as we do more Drupal 6 development we will be sure to release an updated version for 6.x!

I was under the impression
I was under the impression that all module hooks started with the module name.
Couldn't you save yourself some typing by having the snippets enter the module name for you? (ie. file.module would insert file_menu for your menu hook)
I was able to make this work by changing '${1:module_name}' to '${TM_FILENAME/.module//}'. It assumes that the file has a name ('Untitled' comes up empty), but I always start by building my core files anyway.
If I'm way out in left field, I'd love to hear why?
I also noticed that 'hook_comment' expands to 'module_name_compliment' which isn't what I think you inteneded.
Great bundle all around and exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing.
And one more small
And one more small refinement.
'${1:${TM_FILENAME/\..*//}}' instead of '${TM_FILENAME/.module//}' retains your tab placeholder.
