O (open line) should place the cursor at the appropriate indentation level
This is to match Vim's behavior, and because it's generally useful.
O with a numeric modifier (e.g. adding 10 lines) probably shouldn't indent.
I was thinking of attacking this myself and wondered: how are you doing introspection to discover the range of editing methods (e.g. the many methods called as strings in editor_commands.rb) in TextMate?
Hey JRK, feel free to tackle it. In the developers file it mentions that most of textmate's text-editing methods come from the NSResponder class in Cocoa.
There's unlikely a command in NSResponder which will do the trick. Assuming not, you might need to try something like sending along the tab key when a new line is opened and letting textmate do its indentation logic.
Actually upon closer inspection, the current implementation of insert_newline_below should work in theory. Maybe we need to replace "addNewLine" with a simulated enter key so TextMate steps in and implements indentation.
Thanks. Saw the developers file shortly after posting. Nice reference for TextMate hacking in general. I also remembered that TextMate reports most of these NSResponder methods and arguments directly for macros in the bundle editor, making macro recording a useful way to quickly experiment. Your Vim-style setup seems like an ideal model just for managing a larger library of personal macros without having to fumble with the bundle editor and custom plist files, instead just using a Ruby DSL in a dotfile.
Great work so far.

I believe the method desired in this particular case is insertNewline.

Ah; we have a custom implementation of insert newline in TextMateVimWindow.m, as I didn't know such a command existed:
- (void)addNewline { [self.oakTextView insertText:@"\n"]; }
Maybe using insertNewline instead will do the trick and properly trigger Textmate's indentation.

It certainly seems to within the macro system, which suggests it would in general.
