Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab navigate through the "stack" of recently opened views (files). Is this what you mean?

That only cycles between currently open tabs, so that's not quite the same. The genius of TextMate's go-to-file pane was that before you started typing, it would list your recently closed files, so the go-to-file pane had two functions in one, both servicing the need to open something that is not currently open.

That sounds like a mix of switching recent tabs and Goto File (ctrl+p/cmd+p).

Have you tried the "show files" panel? Ctrl/cmd-T. Works like TextMate's. Works like ctrl/cmd-P except it only accepts files, and will show a default file list when it opens.

Well, that was my original point above – the difference between cmd-T in TextMate vs. Sublime Text 2 is that TextMate ordered the files with the most recently opened at the top.

In TextMate, I got used to using cmd-t to jump back and forth between files. Minor thing, really. I just wondered if anyone hacked that same behavior into Sublime Text.

I missed that somehow, although it seems perfectly obvious now. I'm flexible enough to relearn a familiar key binding. (How often do you hear that in reference to a text editor?!)

Thanks!

Wish it could be hacked, but while you _can_ create search panels like that, you can't access the list of recently opened documents, as far as I've found.

Sublime Text 1 had a plugin that gave a Most Recently Used shortcut to open recently closed documents. It used the file-opening hook, recording ever file to an sqlite DB.
