Improve keyboard support on completion overlay - PageUp / PageDown navigation, arrow nav + more

Ethan Brown 12 years ago 0

* Completion overlay menu should allow for PageUp / PageDown navigation

* An up arrow key at the top of the list should move to the bottom of the list (like  cmd palette)

* Similarly, a down arrow at the bottom of the list should move to the top of the list

* For completions that start with or in any other way use the $ character (for instance, $('#select DOM element') for jQuery) the completion menu does not show automatically -- you have to hit $, then TAB to show the available completions

* Once the completion menu is open, typing should filter on both the tabTrigger and the name -- presently, only the tabTrigger is used.  This can cause some unexpected results, as this overlay doesn't quite behave the same as the Ctrl + Shift + P command palette overlay.

Quit and Close all Windows

Rob Napier 12 years ago updated 12 years ago 0
ST2 behaves very similarly to OS X 10.7 in how it reopens documents exactly where you left off. This is fine, but it should also provide "Quit and Close all Windows" as 10.7 does (Cmd-Opt-Q). This cleans up everything so that the next time you launch you get an empty workspace.

Automatically switch the color scheme

Dorin Moise 11 years ago updated by Thomas Reggi 11 years ago 1

Is there a way to automatically switch the Sublime Text color scheme based on the day time? For example, during the day I want to use a bright scheme, while in the evening/night - a dark one (my personal choices are Monokai and Solarized Light). 

The switch moment would probably the local sunrise/sunset hours? :)

Autocomplete using words of the open files in sidebar

Anderson Fraga 13 years ago updated by Micheal Winger 12 years ago 2
The idea is that the auto complete of tags to use the files opened in the sidebar, to increasethe efficiency of the tool. This would avoid having to access the files to copy words to be usedin other files.

A way via Sublime API to tap into file tabs

JD Isaacks 11 years ago updated by Ross Isenegger 10 years ago 2

The most request feature for my popular GitGutter plugin is a way to identify files that have been changed with some visual indicator in the file tab (Or in the file name in the side bar.)


I would like there to be a way to either color the text differently in the file tab, or color the file tab differently itself. It would be nice if this was setup in a way similar to coloring regions, only this region would be the file tab. It would even be cooler if you could specify an icon to show in the file tab just like you can when setting regions.


It would be really *really* nice if when you set this region for a particular file, it not only altered the appearance of the file tab, but the appearance of the file when listed in the side bar.


I would use this API to improve GitGutter. Right now, you can see what changes are in your selected file, but if many files have been changed, there is no way to quickly visually determine which files. So I would make GitGutter add a *region* (or what have you) to identify which files are new/modified (deleted files would just be gone) since your last git commit.

Non Printable Characters!

Dan Stauffer 12 years ago updated by Chris Gilligan 11 years ago 1
It would be extremely helpful if you could  build in the functionality to display non printable characters ( and be able to remove them).  When copying and pasting text from Photoshop,  Hidden line breaks and other characters will often be inserted but not displayed in Sublime.   My current work flow is to copy and paste into Textmate - remove the non printable characters ( displayed as diamonds in Textmate ) and then paste into Sublime.

realtime Sidebar item filter (with demo)

Sorry for my bad English.


I have a idea for sidebar. It's similar to "keys": ["ctrl+p"], but affect sidebar.


I create a plugin image DEMO to describe this idea.

Make keyboard shortcuts independent of keyboard layout

Alexander Schepanovskiy 12 years ago updated by Daniel Albrecht 11 years ago 1

Now keyboard shortcuts depend on current active input language (at least in Linux), so when I switch keyboard layout they suddenly stop working or even do something different. It's kind of bizarre.


Usually it could be worked around by adding User shortcuts for a new language, but then it can accidentally override some shortcut for a first language.


Please bind shortcuts to actual physical keys so that at least on the same computer I wouldn't worry about them jumping back and forth across my keyboard.

Command Palette shouldn't close on Sublime losing focus

Martin Staffa 11 years ago 0

(On Windows 7, 64bit)

If I have a Command Palette Panel / window open, and switch to the window of another application, either by Alt+Tab or by clicking, the command palette closes. This is very irritating, especially for plugins that add new, Command Palette-like panels with new information.

Also, the Go To Anything Panel behaves differently; it never closes, even if you click in the Sublime Text editor pane.


Suggested solution:


Panels should always stay open if you switch to another application, but close when they lose focus but you stay inside of Sublime Text.

Vintage mode is fantastic

David Baumgold 13 years ago 0
I love Vim's modal editor idea: it's incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, Vim shows its age in many places, and I've been looking for another editor that can build on it's legacy. Vintage mode for Sublime Text 2 is a step in that direction! Thank you so much for this!

Hard Wrap.

Guido Governatori 13 years ago updated by Hugo Schmitt 11 years ago 10
It would be good to have an option to turn on automatic hard wrap. Now one has to do it manually for each paragraph. 

Mostly I write text (latex) and I use version control systems. Most diff tools do not handle long lines well (in some cases it is hard to find the diff since one has to scroll horizonatally).

Icons for file types in the Sidebar

Franco Bouly 12 years ago updated 12 years ago 0
It would be great to recognize files types with a set of subtle icons, feature wich could be deactivated so everyone can still enjoy the simplicity of the Sublime UI.
Chocolat do it pretty well actually. Maybe providing an API could be the solution ?

sidebar symbols

Toby Tremayne 11 years ago 0

It would be helpful to have status symbols in the sidebar - specifically for modified files, especially for GIT and SVN.


In addition, a handy extra tab for the sidebar might be "changed files" showing just a grouping of the files edited since the last commit.

Moving the last tab from a window closes the window

Erik Straub 12 years ago updated by Alex Lopatin 12 years ago 1
When moving the last tab out of a window, the window should close. Possibly not if the window contains directories, but definitely if it does not.

Add secondary font option just for ligatures like in Atom

We love ligatures but we also love fonts which don't support them, so it would be nice to have the best of both worlds.


See pic my favourite programming font Roboto Mono with my favourite ligatures font Fira Code.

CSV, TSV, DSV Support

Norman Eckstein 12 years ago updated by SST 11 years ago 1

Hi there, I own licenses of EmEditor, UltraEdit and EditPadPro together with Sublime and let me tell you that EmEditor's CSV, TSV, DSV support currently is the state of art. Please add this as native supported functionality : http://www.emeditor.com/modules/tutorials4/index.php?id=35

also these markers

http://www.emeditor.com/modules/tutorials4/index.php?id=30

are a killer function, there is a sublime plugin but that does not support regex I guess.

Nested placeholders in snippets should be forgotten if the parent content is removed

EHLOVader 13 years ago updated by Jay Gillibrand 12 years ago 1
When nesting placeholders/tab stops in snippets, and you erase the parent placeholder, subsequent tabs should go to the next logical placeholder/tab stop instead of the now missing ones.

I am unsure if this is expected behavior, but it is definately inconvenient.

Goto Anything can focus on already open file instead of opening it again.

qay xsw 13 years ago updated by Piotr Kalinowski 12 years ago 2
If opening file A in group one and then using Goto Anything for the same file in another group opens file A in that group again. Please, add an option to enabling focusing the already opened in any other group (starting with group 1).
