Problem

I like using a single Sublime Text 2 window with multiple tabs. Currently, when I click on files in Finder that are openable via ST2, they open in separate ST2 windows. How do I force ST2 to open tabs in a single ST2 window for new files?

Fix for: Sublime Text 2: how to force all files to open in a single window?

Low Risk

Since you're on OS X, this is a feature that is enabled by default. You will need to go to the Default Settings (under Preferences) and scroll down to the "open_files_in_new_window" setting, which is on line 280. Change the value to . Do not delete the comma, though. (In Sublime Text 2.0.2, this is line 301, and Preferences is under Sublime Text 2 main menu heading.) See the comments for a brief discussion of the advantages of changing "Settings – User" instead of "Settings – Default".
