Tab behavior like Firefox

Matthijs Steen 12 years ago • 0

When I am working on a project and have a lot of files open, tabs are starting to disappear from the screen, which then become unreachable, but even before that, they become so small, that they become useless as a means to navigate anyway. I really prefer the way Firefox handles tabs rather than the way Chrome handles its tabs, after which Sublime Text seems to be modelled. It would be great if there was an option to have change this behavior to a be more like Firefox, which means a larger minimum tab width (so they remain useful) and being able to reach the tabs that are outside the view by scrolling over the scrollpane, which triggers a horizontal scrolling of the tabs, so you can access the tabs that are out of view.


The scrolling behavior would be the most important aspect, because tabs becoming unreachable means that you are forced to rely on keyboard shortcuts.

The best text editor I've used

D. Scott Nettleton 12 years ago • 0

I use this for almost all of my programming now, and I'm even considering switching from my C++ IDE to Sublime Text and makefiles just for the editing features. Thanks for supporting Linux, and keep up the good work!

glsl

Mark Ge 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
I am a OpenGL programmer, I usually working on GLSL programming, but, it's sad to find that there is no code editor which support GLSL syntex hightlight, especially, the build-in variables, and build-in functions.
it would be great that sublime text have this feature.

File open dialog

Allora6263 11 years ago • 0


I'm running sublime Text 2 (version 2.0.2, Build 2221) on OS X 10.9.

When I select File -> Open -> Open dialog window appears (normal), but it immediately closes itself (less than 3 seconds) the window, therefore I could not enter a new file name.  It also happened in 'File -> Save and Save as'.


Because of this behavior, I can't open or save file from the menu.  
Do you have any idea?


Thanks in advance,

pre-pad lines when selecting empty lines for multi-line editing

Matthew Winter 13 years ago • 0

When selecting the lines for multi-line editing and you press Ctrl+Alt+Up and the next line is an empty line and you was at character position 20, can we pre-pad the line with whitespace rather than select character position 1.


Or at least provide an option which allows for the pre-padding.


Much in the same way that JEdit performs multi-line selection.

Allow me to type ”mode:42" instead of "models.py:42" for first result

Dan Abramov 13 years ago • updated by adzenith 13 years ago • 1
A typical usecase: I see I have an error at line 42 of models.py.
I press Cmd+T, start typing “mo” and “models.py” is already the first option.

Currently, to go to line 42 I either have to type the whole file name, followed by “:42”, or just press Enter, Ctrl+G, 42, Enter.

It would be *so* much better if “xxx:NN” would open first result at NN.

Find in files: set default "Where" to "<project>"

Leo Gallucci 11 years ago • 0
Within find_in_files panel, I would like to set the default `Where` field always to `` because sometimes when switching from one ST3 window to another i get that field value with another project directory and i have to manually replace it.

Search and Replace Optimization

keelzebub 12 years ago • updated by Bob Lounsbury 12 years ago • 1

The Search and Replace function needs to be optimized. If my Search has a large number of results to be replaced, ST2 just freezes up on me, whereas Notepad++ gets the job done in a couple seconds.

Arrow keys messed up with line padding

Matt Brennan 14 years ago • updated 14 years ago • 1
When the bottom line padding is negative and the top line padding is positive (with a smaller absolute value) the arrow keys don't work as expected; up moves up two lines, and down doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set line_padding_bottom to -2
2. Set line_padding_top to 1
3. Press the up key
 a. Observe number of lines travelled
4. Press down key
 a. Observe nothing

Setting the padding like this was necessary as for some reason the font I used (TheMixMono, by LukasFonts) was offset from the baseline.

Language extension (better than TextMate)

Luke Scott 14 years ago • 0
With a TextMate bundle you could include patterns from another language into another. This was very limiting.

It would be nice if you had a "extended language" type that would use a specified language but recursively override elements in that language. So this would go beyond simply including the patterns. A big reason for this is template systems... Smarty is built into TextMate's HTML bundle and it shouldn't be. Ruby includes the HTML bundle, but has to re-specify certain things. With a language extension you could have a pattern added before or after a languages pattern based on its name.

Also with embedding languages make this work a little better than importing patterns. If I'm working in an HTML file and have script tags it should be the Javascript language while inside those tags (not just including the patterns, if that makes sense).

Ubuntu PPA/.deb

I would love it if I could get a .deb package created for Sublime Text 2, either in the official sources or just on a private PPA. I would be willing to help with this process if needed.

Copy, paste with nothing selected (i.e. a whole line) shouldn't break up current line

codex 14 years ago • updated by Danny Fritz 14 years ago • 2
When I copy with nothing selected, I expect to the paste to paste an entire line, not break up the current line at the cursor.  Example:

foo bar<copy this line using zero-selection method>
ba<paste with cursor here>z

I want the result to be:
foo bar
baz
foo bar

And not:
foo bar
bafoo barz

Project listing in the side bar for quick switching

Michael Irigoyen 13 years ago • 0
I understand you can do CTRL+ALT+P to bring up the Switch Project window, then click on the project you want to switch to. However, I feel like being able to turn on a listing of your projects by name in the side bar would be much more useful.

Changing the surround text

Adrian Olaru 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
Typing a quote with text selected will surround the text with quotes, unless you have disabled the auto_match_enabled setting. That's a nice feature.

What about changing an existing surrounding text? What if selecting an already quoted text and pressing another matching char (a double quote for example) will change the surround? That will be a nice feature to have...
