Color Labels for Project Folders

Johannes Brückner 13 years ago • updated by Nano Zone 8 years ago • 1
When working with two main directories in a project (i.e. a dev and a live version of a project), it would be great to be able to add color-labels to the main folders that also apply to all opened tabs. That would greatly help working with files that share the same name but reside in different root folders.

So lets say you need to apply some changes of your dev-versions' screen.css to the screen.css on your live-server and you applied the colors blue (dev) and green (live) to the root-folders. Your tabs would show the colored labels infront of the filename, or the file-names themselves would be colored like the respective label.

That would make it easier to keep an overview, rather than the text-based solution right now.

Autohide for sidebars

An option to set sidebars to automatically hide after a few sec or can be switched with a little panel would be good.

Project folders do not update when accessing Samba share in Windows

Andy Jarrell 12 years ago • updated by Stratigos 11 years ago • 2

Project folders require a manual update for the contents to be viewed.  This seemed to  have been introduced in 2.0.  Please see this technical support discussion.

Python code folding of multi-line function signatures

Cameron Sparr 12 years ago • 0

In python, I commonly write functions with signatures that span multiple lines, and code-folding of these functions doesn't work properly.


This an unfolded function:

And this is what happens when you try to fold the function (it just folds up the signature)

New window from Mac dock icon

lkraider+openid 12 years ago • updated by lewen7er9 11 years ago • 3
Feature Request:
Add an option on the right-click menu at the Mac dock icon to open a new window.

Rationale:
Many apps on the Mac have some useful commands on the menu that appears when you right-click their icon on the dock, Sublime has none, but an option to open a new window would be really useful, specially when working with mission control spaces and you want a new sublime window on the current space.

Menu bar color

Tadeusz Łazurski 13 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 3
ST2 is great and this is great:  http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/19274-theming-of-the-sidebar/ 

But is it possible to change top menu color as well. It distracts me in distraction free mode :P

Completion list width

ibbles 13 years ago • updated by Mark Evans 11 years ago • 6

I would like to be able to increase the width of the completion list. I have a few snippets with not too long descriptions, less than ten words, but even they become unreadable in the completion list. Same goes for the go to file(ctrl+p) result list, which I would also like to be able to move to one of the sides so it obstructs less of the content of the selected file.

Code Folding - Fold All by Syntax/Keyword

Trevor Allen 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
Similar to the existing code-folding options "Fold Tag Attributes" and "Fold Level X", it would be great to have an option to fold according to syntax/keyword. For example (in python): Fold All Classes (folds all class definitions); Fold All Function (folds all function definitions); Fold All For-Loops (you get the idea), etc. 

Similarly with HTML, you could fold by tag -- Fold All <tr>, Fold All <table>, etc. 

I don't know whether it would be easy to integrate this with the keyword lists used for syntax highlighting, or perhaps create an area in Preferences files to specify which keywords a user would like included in the Menu or with key-bindings.

"Convert Indentation To Spaces/Tabs" should be under Edit, not View

Harry Pehkonen 13 years ago • updated by Michael Krueger 13 years ago • 4

"View" in the menu should mostly have options for presentation, not for changing the file.

When a newbie like myself wants to convert indentation to spaces or tabs, one would probably look under Edit and Tools.

Thanks very much for the awesome editor!

Harry.

Make unsaved files more visible in tabs.

Mario Olivio Flores 13 years ago • updated by Dirk Heider 13 years ago • 3
I have a hard time noticing which files are unsaved vs saved.  I was wondering if you could make it more obvious when a file has yet to be saved.

Thanks!

Edit multi-file search results in place

Francis Gastellu 12 years ago • updated by Tuncay Demirtepe 11 years ago • 3

Currently, the results of a multi-file search end up in a temporary editor. It would be an *extremely* time-saving feature to have the ability to edit the files in-place, inside the search results window. Unfortunately it edits the search result editor's buffer, which can be saved on its own, but that's much less useful.

In fact, when I did my first search and got a whole bunch of results in a seemingly editable file, i thought I was being offered dozens of mini editors, and i was blown away. Then i was very disappoint.

Prompt for delete a file

Alysson Bortoli 13 years ago • updated by Paul Madley 9 years ago • 11
Would be nice to move the deleted file to the Trash (Mac) and prompt before delete, some thing like "Are you sure?"
Answer
Jon Skinner 13 years ago
As of 2165, deleted files are moved to the trash, rather than deleted, so taking a cue from Finder, a confirmation prompt is unwarranted.

Highlight lines changed from revision control's copy

codex 13 years ago • updated by Aleksandr Gornostal 12 years ago • 3
It would be nice if lines I've modified, as measured against my RCS (e.g. git) would be marked in some way--for example, by changing the color of the margin (or line number) for that line.  Different colors could be used for adds, deletes, and modifications.

syntax highlighting for python docstrings (epytext, reStructuredText)

glyph 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
Many Python projects use either reStructuredText (sphinx) or epytext (epydoc) formatted docstrings.  It would be very nice to have syntax highlighting on those docstrings.

Split the project specification and the project state

Josh Bjornson 14 years ago • updated by Jon Skinner 13 years ago • 1
The project specification and the project state should be stored separately (maybe sublime-project and sublime-workspace?). As it is now, it will be difficult to edit the project files (because there is so much state information stored there) and sharing projects doesn't make much sense. The simplicity of the old project files was great but I really like the features of the new projects. Can't we have the best of both worlds? sublime-project (build_system, folders, save_all_on_build, plus any include/exclude instructions). sublime-workspace (buffers, file_history, find_in_files, find_state, groups, layout, select_file, show_minimap, side_bar_visible, side_bar_width, status_bar_visible)

"It may be worth doing this, but I'm concerned about confusing people: people may not know what a 'workspace' is, so they use the project functionality when they'd be better served by using workspaces." http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1444&p=6606#p6623

Sublime Text "internally" manages the state information for other aspects of the editor ("Auto Save Session", "Session"), so why not store the project definitions "externally" and the current state (workspace) "internally"?

By storing these separately, people could more easily share projects and could still have their own local workspaces.

The biggest issue I can see is the possibility of the project and the workspace getting out of sync (if one of the files is moved to a different location).

Build without saving

.:. brainsik 13 years ago • updated by Ian Goodrich 12 years ago • 3
I often use TextMate to write a quick Python script, run it, collect the output, and throw it away. In these cases, I never save the file. However, in Sublime Text 2 I have to save the file before I can run the Build command. It would be great if it automatically created a tmpfile for untitled/unsaved docs and ran the Build command on that.

Piping output to sublime should create a new file with the content

Scott Bowers 13 years ago • updated by Werner BEROUX 12 years ago • 1
I should be able to pipe output on the command line to sublime_text. Sublime should wait until end of file is reached, open a new file, and copy the contents to the new file.

Scroll position after the file reload

Inversion 13 years ago • updated by Rafal Chlodnicki 13 years ago • 1

When opened file was modified externally ST2 makes Revert and looses the scroll position. It makes impossible to watch for the log files changes if it is being periodically updated externally. Scroll position should be restored after the file refresh.
