The behavior I'm seeing with ⌘T is that it shows MRU files most of the
time, but then every so often it "resets" and just shows an
alphabetized list of all project files. I'm not sure what triggers the
reset yet. I'm switching a lot between TextMate, Terminal and Safari
in my current work. It's not a TextMate quit+launch or project
close+open that's causing the reset because I'm not doing those things
when it happens.
