[TxMt] TextMate reset preferences

[Jacob Carlborg]

The rc.19 update reset quite a few of the TextMate preferences. For example:

* All variables I’ve added are gone
* The side the file browser is shown on reset
* Same with the command output window
* TextMate thinks the shell support is not installed

These are a few things I’ve just noticed.

I’m afraid the user defaults for TextMate got reset somehow, but I
can’t see how TextMate could have caused that, as there is no code
remotely related to zapping preferences.

Did you do anything yourself with the `defaults` command?

It has happened for me a few times where I wanted to delete a key via
`defaults` but forgot to include it, and thereby deleted everything.

Oh, I found this in my terminal history:

$ defaults delete com.macromates.TextMate

Seems I deleted all keys by mistake. I managed to recover the file from a backup. Thanks for pointing that out and sorry for the noise.
