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.
In contrast, web browser tabs operate quite differently. They're manual instead of automatic: A new tab doesn't open unless you explicitly open one. Until then, new data is displayed in the current tab. TextMate's tab feature would be much more useful to me if it worked this way --- the way web browsers do.
Does anyone prefer the current (automatic) behavior?
I would prefer the one you propose only if there is a very easy way yo open a document in a new tab (i.e. middle click or option click on the file name in the drawer). The mouse interactions would be easy to copy from browser but I don't see an obvious solution when opening files with ⌘T, or jumping to the header file from an implementation file.
