I have extremely strong muscle memory from other applications (Finder, Freeway, I'm sure there's others) that Option-click on a filename steps into that filename for editing.
My Finder does not do that.
In TM2, it seems to hide all the other files I have open in tabs
That would be option double-click (or option single-click).
Option double-click in Finder hides Finder (before launching the new app) and option single-click the Dock, will hide the current app, before moving focus to the one clicked.
So TM2 seems rather consistent with system behavior.
and I can't figure out how to undo this once it has happened. Is there a way to disable this? How do you go back from having hidden all the other tabs?
You can’t disable it (without building your own version of TextMate).
The best solution, after you closed stuff you did not mean to close, is using ⌘T. This has the files sorted after “last recently used” and you can multi-select, so shift arrow-down a few times and press return, and it should re-open your most recently used files.
