TextMate: using tmctags bundle, opens in new window!!! how do i open it as a tab?

Question

I have this issue with textmate where it opens up a file in a new window, but not a tab. thereby its harder to navigate and also disables me from using tcmtags on that new file. Has anyone ever ran into this issue? I suspected it was some type of setting that got messed up, but opening any other file traditionally with the point and click will open in a new tab. So why does it screw up using tcmtags?

Thanks! Tony

Answer 1

Only Projects have tabs in Textmate afaik. So create a new project e.g. by dropping a folder on the TextMate Icon in dock. The files in this folder will open in tabs.

Answer 2

The issue is that my files are in a project. It's the bundle that has the issue. Jumping to a definition source in a different file opens the file in a new window as opposed to a new tab. All the files are in the same project.

No one else I know has this issue.
