  The folder being included in multiple projects does not require its
own .tm_properties file.
  Each project folder can have its own .tm_properties file with its
own configuration, but note that, as Allan said, symbolic links to
folders are currently not expanded.
  Not sure if this makes sense in your context but maybe you can try
changing your workflow and treating your shared folder as a project on
its own (having its own window open along other projects, etc).  I
have a couple projects that depend on other projects and I work this
way in order to have Go To File and searching capabilities in the
subprojects.

  Just curious: why would you want your home folder to be a project
folder?  One usually wants the home folder to have one or more project
folders inside.  I have a folder for each project and all of them are
in a Developer folder in my home folder.

  This is not a workaround, this is the expected way to handle projects.

  I know this can be done by using the Favorites feature.  From Mate's
drawer, you can navigate then right click a folder and add it to
favorites, and all your favorites are available from the heart icon in
the bottom right, or from File, Open Favorites... .

  Hope that helps,
