The Ruby bundle for TextMate has a nice shortcut for this:
begin ⇥ (begin + [tab])

Hey an important missing piece is that you want:

begin
# something potentially bad
rescue Exception=>e
# handle e
end

I have done this with a require that wasn’t available and it
wouldn’t work without the Exception=>e

Of course Exception should be fine tuned to the Exception
you are checking for.
