[TxMt] Re: Different tabs behaviour

[Tobias Jung]

I see.
So, I agree that using Quick Look wouldn't work for you.
I have to say when I tried Sublime Text I found the behaviour you're looking for rather annoying - but of course, that's probably just because I wasn't used to it.

And I still don't see why this is superior to open an file in a tab, copying the parts you need and then pressing command + w to close the tab again.
I wanted to suggest that you might want to record a macro which is doing "copy, then close tab" and bind this macro to a keystroke, but then I saw that TextMate obviously doesn't include "close tab" in the macro recording.

I'd probably turn off this feature if it was introduced in TextMate.
But I wouldn't mind if it would be added as long as it _can_ be turned off (as you suggested in the first place).

Kind regards,
Tobias Jung
