Commands can be sent many kinds of input by TextMate (the current document, selected text, the current word, etc.) in addition to environment variables and their output can be similarly be handled by TextMate in a variety of ways. TextMate supports user-defined and user-editable commands that are interpreted by bash or the interpreter specified with a shebang. The hierarchal scope syntax allows language authors and theme authors various levels of coverage, so that each one can choose to opt for simplicity or comprehensiveness, as desired.

For instance, one theme may decide to color every constant ( constant.*) identically, while another may decide that numerical constants ( constant.numeric.*) should be colored differently than escaped characters ( .*). TextMate themes can mark up any scope, at varying levels of precision. This scope tells us that we are looking at a link title within a link within a list within a MediaWiki document. For instance, the title of one of the links in the “External links” section has the scope: Therefore, each point of a document is assigned one or more scopes, which define where in the document the point is, how it should be colored, and what the behavior of TextMate should be at that point. These grammars allow nesting rules to be defined using the Oniguruma regular expression library, and then assigned specific “scopes”: compound labels which identify them for coloration. TextMate allows users to create their own arbitrarily complex syntax highlighting modes by using a modified version of the Apple ASCII property list format to define language grammars. Odgaard also stated he has a friend who uses some of TextMate's frameworks in a closed-source project, and they could not incorporate patches released under GPL.

Odgaard stated he prefers receiving patches as public domain as this preserves his ability to release a future version under a more permissive license, or to make a version available on the Mac App Store.

In August 2012, TextMate 2's source code was published on GitHub under the terms of GPL-3.0-or-later, an attempt by the developer to counteract restrictions Apple placed on software distributed through the Mac App Store. In September 2019, a final version was released.

A public alpha was made available for download on the TextMate blog in December 2011, followed by a release candidate at the end of 2016. In June 2009, TextMate 2 was announced as being about 90 percent complete, but with an undisclosed final-feature list. Throughout 2007, the core application changed only minimally, though its “language bundles” continued to advance. On 8 August 2006, TextMate was awarded the Apple Design Award for Best Developer Tool, at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, to “raucous applause.” In February 2006, the TextMate blog expressed intentions for future directions, including improved project management, with a plug-in system to support remote file systems such as FTP, and revision control systems such as Subversion. TextMate continued to develop through mid-2006. Reviews were positive, in contrast to earlier versions that had been criticised. On 6 January 2006, Odgaard released TextMate 1.5, the first “stable release” since 1.0.2.

In the series of TextMate 1.1 betas, TextMate gained features: a preferences window with a GUI for creating and editing themes a status bar with a symbol list menus for choosing language and tab settings, and a “bundle editor” for editing language-specific customizations. TextMate 1.0.2 came out on 10 December 2004. Even so, some developers found this early and incomplete version of TextMate a welcome change to a market that was considered stagnated by the decade-long dominance of BBEdit. At first only a small number of programming languages were supported, as only a few “language bundles” had been created. The release focused on implementing a small feature set well, and did not have a preference window or a toolbar, didn't integrate FTP, and had no options for printing. TextMate 1.0 was released on 5 October 2004, after 5 months of development, followed by version 1.0.1 on 21 October 2004.
