(I open a discussion on github, @infininight suggest bring it up to tm-dev
mailing list )
== @janckerchen opened this issue==
Nothing happen at present when I click on file name(not icon) one by one in
file browser.
I think
• why I click the file name one by one? just for quick-view.
• why not open each file by click? open too many file just for preview
is nightmare for crowded tabs.
so we need a compromise proposal, quick-view and not real-open.
I try to find out how the other editors solve the problem.
• there is a temporary window without tab for preview, no active tab in
tab bar at same time.
• If I active any tab, temporary window disappear.
• if I double click on the filename, the file real opened and the tab
added to tab bar.

For the purpose of taking a quick peak at a file you might want to use
'QuickLook'. Just select a file in the file browser and press Space. This
should open a temporary window showing you the content of the selected file.
Other than that, you can also single click on the icon of file which will open
the file immediately. This action however will also create a new tab.

@sanssecours, I tried and suffered frustration.
• click a file, hit space, preview popped, it's not bad so far.
• move cursor up and down over files in file browser, I expect preview
change as in finder, but no, because file browser has lost focus.
• I grab back my mouse and focus on file browser, (preview still
there), move cursor up and down, nothing happen.
• alright, I grab back my mouse again and click next file, I expect
preview will update, but no, nothing happen.
• hit space, nothing happen
I can find a way in the end, but not smooth at all. If step2 can success in
future, QuickLook way is acceptable.
Another drawback is QuickLook doesn't work with some file type, such as
Makefile, *.cmak, they are all simple text file.

@janckerchen I did not say it is a perfect solution ☺
It works a little bit better if you use the keyboard:
• Select a file
• Hit Space → File Preview
• Press Space again and select the next file via the cursor keys (↑, ↓)
— Continue with step 2. to get a preview of the file

Discussions on behavior like this are best brought up on the tm-dev mailing
list where they can be discussed, leaving the issues for defined issues and
bugs.
