View -> Side Bar?

Don't get me wrong, though. You don't like it you don't like it. It's all good.

I was kind of in the same boat; the UI is there, but the way to open a folder (compared to vim) is semi non-obvious. Project > Add Folder to Project.

Once you do that, you get the sidebar view typical of textmate, and the extremely handy Ctrl-(or Command, depending on platform)-P. Slap that combo, start typing in a file, and it'll filter out the one you want from within the project. It makes navigating around for snap edits very quick :).

Oh. That seems a bit needlessly complex to me.

And I love PeepOpen, which adds this feature to Textmate and several other editors.

There are a few ways to add folders:

- Drag a folder onto the window from Finder/Explorer

- File/Open Folder to open a folder in a new window

- Project/Add Folder to Project to add an additional folder to the current window

- Via the command line
