In the "Recent projects" menu, list project name, not absolute path.

Or, preferably, list the project name BEFORE the absolute path. This aids in faster recognition of the project name.

"find whole word" for variables

U N. 13 ár síðan • updated by Felix Lange 13 ár síðan • 2

Currently, "find" with "whole word" option enabled doesn't allow to match php variables ($var) and some of ruby variables (@var, @@var) (if the whole variable is searched ("$var"), not the alphanumeric part ("var")). I do kindly request a way to make these match, possibly involving the accordingly adjusted word_separators list.

For the details as to how and why I tried to deal with a similar scenario in a plugin, please see https://github.com/SublimeText/WordHighlight/pull/2

Make sidebar automatically re-open folders after changing projects.

Shawn McCool 13 ár síðan • updated by Andrew Herron 12 ár síðan • 1
I switch back and forth between projects CONSTANTLY.  It's becoming quite frustrating to keep opening my sidebar folders for each project every time I switch back and forth.  I'd love for ST2 to just remember which were open, and when I next open that project restore the sidebar to that state.

Problems with windows-1250 encoding

Krzysztof Jagiełło 14 ár síðan • updated by Łukasz Langa 12 ár síðan • 1

I am working with some files encoded in windows-1250 that contain polish characters. And while all other text editors have no problems with showing all the characters right, Sublime Text shows me strange characters.


Besides it would be very nice to see a feature that would allow us to change encoding of files while editing. Something like this

Autosuggest for variables containing dashes doesn't work

Alexander Wörndl 11 ár síðan • 0

The 'extract_completions' method seams to have a bug when it comes to variables that contain one or more dashes.


Testcase


$button_color_main: #0f0 /* works as expected */

$button-color-secondary: #f00 /* will auto complete only the word '$button' */


The bug is double checked and confirmed, more here: https://github.com/alienhard/SublimeAllAutocomplete/issues/18

'Show build results' doesn't make sense if already shown (turn into 'Show/Hide' and move to View menu)

iconv 14 ár síðan • 0

First, Tools->Build Results->Show Build Results menu item does nothing if those are present. It should change name to 'Hide Build Results'.


Second, it would be better to move this under View menu since most Show/Hide items are already there.

Style Token feature from Notepad++

Razvan Taranu 12 ár síðan • updated by siddumummy 7 ár síðan • 3

A way to highlight certain pieces of text with different colors. Like the current highliting when you find a word, but I can assign permanent colors to the text.


Very useful when tracking variables / file logs through large files.

Add incremental find and replace across files

Russell Keith-Magee 12 ár síðan • 0
If you do a Find and replace on a single file, you get options to "find", "replace", "find all" and "replace all". This means you can interactively review every replacement that is going to happen in a file.

However, if you do Find and replace across files, you only get "find" and "replace" (which are implicitly "find all" and "replace all"). This means you can't interactively review changes -- you have to make all the possible changes, then go back and review them.
It would be nice if the feature set of find and replace on a single file were also available over multiple files.

Asynchronous file saving

Nox10 12 ár síðan • 0
I'm usually working on files connected by SFTP or SMB. The delay that my OS takes to save the files may vary alot. I would love to still work on my files, or other files at that, while Sublime Text 2 is currently writing to the network or filesystem.
Currently all Sublime Text 2 windows are freezing. 
Thanks alot

Sublime is extremely slow

Solid Water 12 ár síðan • updated by віталік козловський 9 ár síðan • 0

What I mean is when I type text, it is very slow to appear and it appears in bursts.  Same thing with erasing and scrolling.  Kind of like network lag in video games.  This is on a fresh install on Ubuntu 12.04 with no plugins.  The system is fast otherwise with a fast cpu and 16 gigs of ram.  


After I erase all the settings reverting to "fresh install", it is fast for about two minutes on a normal text file and then becomes very slow again.

Code Hinting for HTML Attributes, CSS properties, PHP, Javascript

I would like if Sublime supported Code Hinting for all major languages like JS, HTML, CSS, PHP etc. It's something that is missing.

Minimap colors should be configurable

John Bitme 12 ár síðan • 0
The minimap colors should be part of the color scheme... on a white background, the current dark highlight is very intrusive.
Personally, I would prefer being able to set a color overlay for the non-visible portion, rather than the visible portion, but either way, it should be configurable like minimapBorder is.

Textmate style word completion

Chris Leonello 14 ár síðan • updated by Philip Rosen 12 ár síðan • 21
Implement word completion as is done in Textmate.  Explained best at the Textmate web site (http://manual.macromates.com/en/working_with_text#completion):

"TextMate has a simple yet effective completion function on ⎋ (escape). It will complete the current word based on matches in the current document. If there are multiple matches, you can cycle through these by pressing ⎋ continuously. It is also possible to cycle backwards using ⇧⎋.


The matches are sorted by distance from the caret, meaning candidates which are closer to the caret will be suggested before candidates farther away."


This is an improvement over the current tab-completion because:


  1. The tab key is also used for tabbing.
  2. It cycles continuously.
  3. It is based on nearest matches.

Pin single files to project

Torsten Liebig 13 ár síðan • Uppfært 13 ár síðan • 0
I'm working in a WordPress directory structure. For a project (usually a theme), the main elements I'm working with are one or two folders within the directory structure plus two separate files.

I'd like to be able to set up the project so that the two folders are pinned to the project sidebar and the two files as well - right now, when adding a file to the sidebar, the file gets openend instantly and is not pinned. Is there a way to do that?

Use Textmate fold markers

adzenith 13 ár síðan • updated by Felipe Prenholato 13 ár síðan • 1

 Textmate grammars have specifiers for where possible folds should begin and end (foldingStartMarker and foldingStopMarker). It would be excellent if these were supported in Sublime Text 2 to make it easy to fold functions etc.

Allow for custom default window position.

Itai Ferber 13 ár síðan • updated by hced 11 ár síðan • 1
I really appreciate the fact that there's a way to set the default height and width for new windows in ST2, but it bums me out there's no way to set a default position, too. All windows save their positions, so it would be great to have a "new_window_position" variable (or something like it) to be able to define custom window locations too.

drag and drop text not working in Linux

Asher Max Schweigart 12 ár síðan • updated by D. Scott Nettleton 12 ár síðan • 1
As of the first non-beta release, text drag and drop was added.
It works for me in Windows, but in Linux it does not.
I am running Fedora 17 KDE spin, 64bit.
