The literal answer would be "The same way you do on small screens." ;-)

As for the actual problem you need to solve, the answer is "You dont.  
At least not now."  As far as I know there's no built in keyboard  
commands that will track viewed files in multiple windows & allow  
switching.  Multiple windows, in 1.x anyway seems to mean multiple  
documents or multiple projects and info isn't shared very well  
between them.

But TextMate, for most users, is adaptable to overcome things like  
that. ⌥⇧⌘↓ - For example is very good about jumping to the  
conventionally named files in a Rails app.  Often times, its up to  
you to determine what your specific need is and arrange your workflow  
or create commands to follow suit.  I might suggest opening your  
rails project in one window, and then opening your graffle/test  
directory in another project window.  Your convention might be that  
tests are always on top, controller/model files are always below.  So  
you know if you're trying to get to a test you just need to do a  
quick ⌘` to get to your 'tests' window and then ⌘T can do it's  
thing.

That said... I also would love a split view system of some type.
