And I still don't see why this is superior to open an file in a tab, copying the parts you need and then pressing command + w to close the tab again.
Well, that is really annoying because you have to keep thinking about actually closing the tabs. Instead you could just open the tabs you need at the beginning of your work and then arbitrarily browse through the files without having to think about the tabs. You’d only have those you really need easily accessible from the tab bar.
As you can see, it works for other apps so I’d be immensely happy to see this feature appear in TextMate (of course, as an option). But is there something I can do about it? Is there someone specific I could ask?

So, I agree that using Quick Look wouldn't work for you.
I have to say when I tried Sublime Text I found the behaviour you're looking for rather annoying - but of course, that's probably just because I wasn't used to it.

I wanted to suggest that you might want to record a macro which is doing "copy, then close tab" and bind this macro to a keystroke, but then I saw that TextMate obviously doesn't include "close tab" in the macro recording.
I'd probably turn off this feature if it was introduced in TextMate.
But I wouldn't mind if it would be added as long as it _can_ be turned off (as you suggested in the first place).
Kind regards,
Tobias Jung
