Project indexing

Aleksandr Makov 13 years ago updated by Tim Johnston 11 years ago 12

The most of advanced code editors (IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, etc...) index a full project structure giving us abilities to:

- go to a file where declaration of current variable, constant or other entity is declared  Goto Declaration 
- include variables and/or files at certain points of code by auto-completing the variables/entities/filenames with paths  Project-Wide Auto Completion 
- all other advantages of project indexing go here...

And it could be optional so that "Goto Declaration" and "Project-Wide Auto Completion" can look within indices, within files by performing standard search, or be completely turned off.

Vote if you find it useful.

Make "highlight matches" easier to see

Luke Scott 13 years ago updated by cornelius 11 months ago 24
It looks like "highlight matches" is a light border around each word. Would be nice if there was something a little easier on the eyes, similar to what Safari does. Currently it's hard to miss, especially with PHP having a light gray background behind it.

Allow navigation of the project tree with the keyboard

Russell Keith-Magee 13 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 11 years ago 22
The project tree (under OSX) can only be interacted with using the mouse. You can't give the project tree focus and navigate or open files using the keyboard.

An outline pane

ulhume 12 years ago updated by Merrill Hutchison 7 years ago 20
ST2 is really missing a pane showing currently edited document structure.

This kind of pane can easily be placed under "explorer pane" with a split bar for managing both heights.

Content of this pane should be accessible through plugin API in order to allow them to feed it with the structure which can be :
  • list of functions for a code file
  • list of classes
  • list of identifiers for a css file
  •  etc..
I know there is Ctrl-R, but let's be honest about it, this is just not usable for serious development projects. IMHO this kind of overview is far more useful that minmap or perhaps I missed the real point of minmap (that I personally don't find useful at all).

Real-time collaborative editing

aahlborg 13 years ago updated by Dorthy Streifel 6 years ago 32
A killer feature would be real-time collaborative editing of a single file via the internet. However, it's really hard to implement and should be considered a feature for 2.5 or 3.0. Please keep it in mind when building the foundation to allow for future improvements of Sublime Text.

Retain cursor position on file change

Jake Archibald 12 years ago updated by Steven Lacerda 3 years ago 20
When a file has changed, Sublime picks up the change and updates the view. However, the scroll and cursor position are reset to the top.

It would be great if it retained the previous cursor position, even it if was simply the same line & char position (which may be different content following the edit).

Even better, it could try and place the cursor back on the same line even if that line has moved. A diff would provide the info.

Create new files in project

Russell Keith-Magee 13 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 12 years ago 4
Add the ability to create a new file in a project, under a particular folder. Optionally, enable the use of a stub template to create the new file.

There's now a New file context menu option in the side bar in build 2046.

Scroll two columns (=split panes) at the same time, for example while holding the alt- or cmd-key

Would be a tremendous help when comparing two files or two sections of a file

Update tabs after renaming file

sofa-420 13 years ago updated by Anders Ingemann 7 years ago 13
When you rename a file in the sidebar, if you have that file open in a tab it'd be nice if it knew it was renamed, and would save to the correct file instead of essentially copying the new file back.
