This makes sense! However, after a bit of testing, it turns out TextMate identifies the shortest unique path, so if you have address.rb in app/models and spec/models, it displays this in the Cmd- T window: address.rb – app/models address.rb – spec/models TextMate's interface never ceases to amaze me. I suppose also you could set up a spec runner to skip files not ending _spec.rb in case you wanted support code in the spec folders (not sure if this is a good idea in practice or not, just occurred to me).

This satisfied my curiosity anyway - someone mentioned it on nitro- general and I realised I didn't know where _spec came from.
