I am used to doing Ctrl-Shift-Tab to cycle through tabs.

I do slowly pick up the niceness about using Cmd-Shift-[ or ] to do the same on the Mac.

I have currently set TextMate to take Ctrl-Shift-Tab to do the tab cycling, but I'd want the Ctrl-Shift-[ or ] in addition to that to perform tab cycling. Is this possible?

The reason I ask is because I see that Chrome can do it both ways (not through any configuration of my own of course).
