Sure, the file in question is this one https://github.com/textmate/textmate/blob/master/Frameworks/OakFileBrowser/src/OakFileBrowser.mm
It should contain all the actions you can invoke from the file browser — I’d probably do a bit of refactoring though, trying to come up with more of a model (in MVC speak) that represent what the file browser can do, also to make it easier to change the visualization of the browser, re the mockup on the wiki: https://github.com/textmate/textmate/wiki/Main-Window
Otherwise, if you think there is something more important that we could work on, we'd be happy to do that instead.
Important is rather subjective :) By far split view is the issue that has gathered the most comments, but I also think it’s pretty complex because the usability aspect is unclear and there are issues related to having multiple views of the same document then sharing caret/selections and undo/redo history.
If I were to suggest something then it would be https://github.com/textmate/textmate/issues/94 — though rather than have the arrow expand/collapse the text fields, have them adapt in size similar to the text field used in Adium. If we had such adaptive text field, I would also use it in Preferences → Projects (for the pattern text fields) and other places where content can become one long line.
With the new constraint based layout this should be doable as a self-contained class as a view can now call [self invalidateIntrinsicContentSize] and trigger a relayout of the containing window.
Currently the Find window does not use constraint based layout, so it would need to be converted first. I’ll gladly help out with some of this.

Hi there,
Me
and a classmate (cc'ed in this email) are university students who have
to contribute to an open source project for a programming class. As we
both have Objective-C experience (and both love the TextMate editor), we
decided to tackle the wonderful project of TextMate 2. We're supposed
to choose an existing request in the project's issue tracker and take
care of it.
We
decided to tackle this feature
request (add undo support to the file browser), since it looks like no
one's been assigned to it yet, and it's been around for a while. If you
guys are okay with us working on this issue, we'd appreciate it if we
were given tips as to which source files deal with the file browser, and
where we might want to implement this feature (we've built the project
and taken a look at some of the code, but we're admittedly a little lost
as to where to begin). Otherwise, if you think there is something more
important that we could work on, we'd be happy to do that instead.
Thanks
so much! Benjamin
