TextMate doesn't use NSTextView, so the input manager never worked
with it. This actually kept me from using TextMate for LaTeX for a
long time. TextMate comes with an interface for inserting keys via
BibDesk, but it's ugly (IMNSHO), and I don't think it's recommended
anymore.
Currently, TextMate parses your BibTeX file using regular expressions
and builds a list of completion on its own; this works pretty well,
but has some limitations due to the BibTeX grammar (e.g. it can hang
on parsing valid BibTeX).
I prefer using BibDesk's search heuristics for completion, and BibDesk
also has a much better parser. As a consequence, I put together
a .tmCommand that asks BibDesk to complete your cite keys, and it's
linked from the wiki
http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Other_Applications
Use whichever suits your needs. Mine does require BibDesk to be
running, which bothers some people for reasons that aren't clear to me.
