I don't know what I did, TextMate 2 expanded the entire files of my project in the sidebar. Now the performance drastically went down. I can't able to figure out how to collapse it.

You can hold option while clicking the 'Disclosure Arrow' (the little arrow next to the directory name) to recursively collapse all subfolders.
To collapse all the directories without performing the action for every folder, do this:
- Press
control+tab
to move the focus to the file drawer. - Press
command+up arrow
to 'go up a level'. - Hold
option
and click the arrow next to your desired folder. - Click the folder icon next to your desired directory to change the file drawer back to that directory.

I don't have TextMate 2, but does selecting the top level items and pressing ⌥← work? That should be the standard shortcut for collapsing a node recursively but it's not supported by all list views.

Why did I try this on such a large folder! It does seem to work though, thanks! Works really nice in combination with "Reveal current file" Cmd+Shift+R. Commented Sep 8, 2016 at 20:10
what works for me is:
- select an item in the project drawer
- command-a to select all
- hit the left arrow (right arrow expands all)
that should collapse all folders

This is great, a step in the right direction. Too bad it only collapses the top level folders though, and maintains the select-all selection when you open them.– IAmNaNCommented Oct 30, 2014 at 18:05
