Textmate 1.8 vi plugin

ViMate

This is outdated code but here for reference at this stage. It was the best I could do without spending weeks neck deep in class-dump (again) writing tons of code that would be obsolete as soon as TextMate V2.0 comes out. Since TextMate 2 is open source it is my hope to build a new vi emulator natively to the app.

I'll warn you that things get funky near the end of file and the end of line and word movement is a crap-shoot without rhyme or reason. There is nothing I can do about this until I'm able to implement my own movement functions (i.e. until TextMate V2.0).
