Hi,
I wonder if we could have a 'Open Last Closed File' on the File menu - the idea being it would allow a keyb shortcut to be assigned directly to it?
We can already do this via File -> Open Recent -> (first item), but afaik this doesn't allow us to assign a keyboard shortcut specifically to the first item
I'd quite like to be able to re-open it with something like CMD+SHIFT+T, similar to how Chrome lets you reopen the last closed tab
Thanks

That seems unnecessary. If you set your computer's General system preferences so that "Close windows when quitting an app" is unchecked, TextMate will _automatically_ reopen the file(s) you had open the last time you quit. It's built right into the system's document model.
The only reason a program like Chrome needs a special way of doing this is that it has no documents. But TextMate does. m.

Yes but this doesn't relate to when I quit TM.
It's for when I'm developing inside TM, and close a source file, but shortly after realise I now want to quickly open it again
I can use CMD+T to reopen it quickly enough, but it would be nice to just have a 'Whoops! that was dumb' keyboard shortcut

If you are working within a project then Cmd+T <enter> will open the last closed file.

Thanks, this will be useful for a lot of the time
But strictly speaking it doesn't open the last closed file. It defaults to the last tab selected (which may actually be a file that is already open)

Why would you _ever_ do that? Now that we have tabs and the wonderful single-window display, I just leave everything open. Or you could minimize instead of closing.
Next you'll be telling me you sometimes quit apps! :)

Well, the beauty of great software is that it doesn't force everyone to use it the same way :)
Minimising wouldn't really work, I'm not trying to hide or move TM out the way. I'm developing a number of concurrent projects, some of which have hundreds of source files. You can see how this would easily become unmanageable if I tried to keep every file open.
If it works for you though, great :-)

Correct that “Open Quickly…” is only showing last-recently-used for the current project.
But is this a problem in practice? And if so, does the “Open Recent” menu work for re-opening the document you accidentally closed?
This submenu is managed by the system (as part of its document recent list management), so I cannot add a “Last Document” proxy item at the top of this menu (which could then be assigned a shortcut), but I think that you can select the first item of this menu via AppleScript, which would give you a more universal “Open Last Document”.
Btw: for a proper “Open Last Document” TextMate should probably also support this for untitled documents or documents that had unsaved changes when they were closed. Though unsure how often such feature would be used.

Not causing me a big problem, I just thought it might be a simple feature to add so it was more of a 'nice to have' I see its a bit more complex that I thought though, so not to worry
And if so, does the “Open Recent” menu work for re-opening the document you accidentally closed?
I initially thought it would. But now I dig deeper, the Open Recent... seems to filter out files in the current project anyway.
Its given me an idea though...
What Im really asking for is to just pick the top file from "defaults read com.macromates.TextMate.preview LRUDocumentPaths" and then open that via mate. I can script that, and then assign a keyb shortcut to my script, so it's all good :)
Thanks
That sounds like a script I’d use too. Would you please share it when you’re done?
Thanks,
Graham Heath

I'm developing a number of concurrent projects, some of which have hundreds
of source files.
You can see how this would easily become unmanageable if I tried to keep
every file open.
"TextMate will automatically close tabs that hasn’t been used in a while, when the tab bar overflows".
http://manual.textmate.org/projects.html#closing-tabs
So keeping every file open is impossible anyways.
