In TextMate, buffer tabs are automatic: A new tab is always opened whenever you click on a file in a project drawer. After a half hour of navigating source code, I suddenly find dozens of tabs open at the top of my editor window, but I can only see a few of them. This makes the tabs feature basically unusable.
You might try Ciaran Walsh's QuickLook in TextMate and TextMate in QuickLook plugins (http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/15/quicklook-and- textmate). With these installed, you can click on a file in the project drawer, and, using the QuickLook item from the contextual menu, open the file in QuickLook. It will still be rendered using TextMate as an engine (if you install the latter plugin), and, after you're done with it, you're not left with an open tab.
