Debug Support For GDB, PDB and Others

Lucas Klassmann 12 years ago • updated by Vishal Khialani 11 years ago • 4

I think that debug support, like breakpoints, variable watch, variable inspection and shortcuts for step, step into, step over, play, stop is interest features that lacking on this editor.


Thanks.

Multi-monitor / Multi-window support

Tim College 12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 0
I have two monitors.  Right now (build 2190) opening a second window by dragging a tab and dropping creates a second window that is very much a lower-class citizen.  It doesn't have access to the project of the first window, which I think is the root issue for all other problems I've had.

I would love to have a second window open, without the sidebar, just for more code.

It sorta works right now, but the builder loses some references to the project/folder variables, if you close the second window after closing the primary window, subsequent launches open with no active project, and a few other little annoyances.

Thanks!

OSX: Clicking on a backgrounded window should bring it to the foreground and nothing else

adzenith 13 years ago • updated by Agostino Carandente 13 years ago • 4
In OS X, when you click on a backgrounded window the window typically gets pulled to the fore and does nothing else. Currently in ST2 clicking on a backgrounded window will change your selection etc. in addition to pulling it into the foreground.

Project specific encoding like in Eclipse

Ari Palo 12 years ago • updated by Félix Delval 11 years ago • 1
I really would need an option to "force" encoding for files. I think the most logical solution would be project / folder specific encoding. That one could override in "Save As" dialog. 

My Mac always saves files as UTF-8, but my team works with ISO-8859-1 encoding. I think this project specific "force encoding" method would solve the problem.

Add 'copy filename / filepath' in context menu on file tab

Leigh Garland 12 years ago • updated by Eric Perez 12 years ago • 2
I very frequently need to use the filename / path in the contents of other files. Being able to simply right-click / cmd-click the tab, and click 'copy...' to get the filename or full file path would be very useful.

Find/Quick Add Next consistent with highlighted occurrences

pornel 12 years ago • updated by 0xeedfade 11 years ago • 2

In a document like that:

bar foobarbaz bar foo bar

If I double-click "bar" I see words highlighted (outlined) based on whole-word find (very nice!) 

[bar] foobarbaz [bar] foo [bar]

But then when I invoke "Quick Add Next" a few times I get different selection based on substring match:

bar foobarbaz bar foo bar

Notice that "bar" fragment in "foobarbaz" is unexpectedly selected, even though it hasn't been highlighted as a match before.

I wish those two features were aligned. Specifically I'd like to have "Quick Add Next Whole-Word Match" option, so it'd only select words I can already see highlighted.

Whole-word Quick Add Next is also very useful for renaming variables within a function, but currently it only works reliably when the name doesn't match substring (e.g. can't rename "i" variable, even though whole-word match would do well).

I wouldn't mind a bit of magic here too - use whole-word Quick Add if whole word is selected, and use substring if selection doesn't end on word boundaries.

Save code folding between instances.

Chris Lee 12 years ago • updated by Andy Mercer 8 years ago • 3
The code folding feature is nice in Sublime Text 2 but I wan't to be able to save that for the next time I open Sublime Text 2 so that I don't have to refold what I already had folded last time I closed the program.

Coloring the folders and files in the project sidebar

Yarden Sachs 12 years ago • updated by Alan Woo 12 years ago • 1
When working with a huge repository - one has no way to set a distinction between all the irrelevant files and folder, and the relevant ones, for that day or session.

i suggest that you could color the folders and files. so that you could mark them as relelvant, and they could stand out for easy distinction.
the colors settings will reflect in the tabs also.

Option to show current file in status bar

aristidesfl 12 years ago • updated by Daniele Orlando 12 years ago • 3
Being in fullscreen, without tabs or sidebar, there is no way of knowing which file is currently being displayed.
An option to display the path and name of the current file would be very useful.

Printing and pretty-printing required

Yuri Robbers 11 years ago • 0

Printing - and preferably even pretty-printing - is an absolute must for me. Such a pity an otherwise more or less perfect editor can't print. I find myself continuously needing to go to other programs in order to do something so basic. University require hardcopies of all source code, analyses, etc. to be archived. 


I do not think an editor that cannot do something so elementary as printing warrants $59.

Backtick quoting selected text does not work like single quotes and double quotes

Stuart Roebuck 12 years ago • updated by Lucas Siqueira 7 years ago • 4
Currently, if you select some text and type a quote or a double quote, ST2 will place the quote at both ends of the selected text.  This is a nice feature.

If, however, you are editing text in Markdown there is often the need to use backticks around code elements.  When you select text and type a backtick the text is completely replaced by a single backtick.  It would be nice if ST2 could place a backtick at each end of the selection.

Reload buffers in inactive groups on external change

U N. 13 years ago • updated by Andrius Steponavičius 12 years ago • 1

Currently, if the file is open in ST2, and it is modified externally, the corresponding view get refreshed.

However, if the current layout has multiple groups (e.g. "Rows: 2"), the externally-modified file view in ST2 is not reloaded until it gains focus. Would it be possible to make all visible views auto-reload on external changes, not just the active one? It would be helpful for monitoring short log files, opened in a second layout group, while editing code in the first layout group.

Vintage Mode - Ctrl-C

Marke Hallowell 13 years ago • updated by Jatin 3 years ago • 3
Please enable Ctrl-C in Vintage mode to both cancel the current command and (more importantly) exit insert mode. Vim supports Ctrl-C as an alternative to Esc for exiting insert mode, and seeing as how you do not need to remove your fingers from the home row, it is a much much quicker alternative. I was very impressed to see that you had implemented vim bindings and it's actually made me interested in using your product, but this would be a must-have for me to switch from vim/macvim as the muscle memory is too strongly ingrained.

Find / replace menu stays open

Jonathan Cross 12 years ago • 0
Would be nice if users could keep the find / replace menu open instead of having it hide after each replace.  This gets annoying if users must run  a series of regex across a selection or a file.
Simple option to not "auto-hide" find/ replace would work.
A close button might be good in this mode.

Convenient selection without rounded corners and with whole lines

Nikolay Yaremko 13 years ago • updated by Dmitriy Eroshenko 11 years ago • 2
Is it possible to avoid fancy rounded corners on selection and rollback to convenient behavior? Which also includes this: select whole line to the end of screen if CRLF is in selection.

light text cursor when using dark editor background.

Can you make the cursor light when using a dark background theme? (OS X) I keep losing track of my cursor, especially when using a projector (while teaching).

SublimeText2 build for ARM architecture

Jay Vaughan 11 years ago • updated by Niklas Baedorf 11 years ago • 1

Hi there!  I am a very  (VERY) happy SublimeText2 user - I use it on both OSX and Linux-amd64 and I think you are brilliant!  :)  So, thank you.


I would like to be able to run it on my Ubuntu-ARM linux machine as well - any chance we could get an ARM architecture added to the build list?
