OSX: double/triple-click+hold doesn't work as expected

14 ár síðan • updated by 14 ár síðan • 2

In OSX apps, triple-clicking normally highlights the whole line.

In sublime text 2, triple-click is just a double-click + a click to de-select the word.

It gets worse the you click and hold. In OSX, double-click+hold would select the clicked word and start selection mode, just like when you use a single click+hold to select text. In the same way, triple-click+ should select the whole line and start the selection mode.

Add variable support ($HOME) in .sublime-project && sublime-workspace

12 ár síðan • 0

One of the most glaringly missing features (IMHO) is the lack of variable support in .sublime-project and .sublime-workspace files.

I sync my sublime projects directory across multiple systems. This _only_ works on my personal systems where I have the exact same username and exact same folder structure, because the paths HAVE to be hardcoded due to the lack of support for variable expansion.

Add icon for windows context menu

12 ár síðan • 0

Many of new Sublime Text users (and me) are coming from Notepad++ folks. It's a reflex to click on an item with icon under "Open" item. To preserve this reflex, Sublime Text should include an icon on it's context menu item.

Here's some how-to's to do this manually:

Reorder filename components in window title

14 ár síðan • updated by 12 ár síðan • 1

Currenlty, Sublime sets the Window title like so:

~/my/very/long/path/filename.ext - Sublime Text 2 (UNREGISTERED)

This ordering makes it very difficult to find the file you want in a window list or taskbar. Many programs order the components of the window title with the filename first, like so:

filename.ext - ~/my/very/long/path

Or, in the case of Sublime:

filename.ext - ~/my/very/long/path - Sublime Text 2 (UNREGISTERED)

This would make it much easier to scan window lists and taskbar buttons. I'm definitely going to be registering Sublime shortly, which will make my window titles a little shorter, but having the filename first would be a huge win.

Sticky subroutine headers

14 ár síðan • 0

Not something I have seen in other editors, but would be very useful for me. It would be nice for subroutine/function/module/class declarations to act as a type of "sticky header" which would stay at the top of the screen until you have scrolled past the end of the structure. A good demonstration can be found on this page: http://www.noodlesoft.com/blog/2009/09/25/sticky-section-headers-in-nstableview/

Sometimes, for example, I search for something and then have to find out what subroutine the result is in, so I need to scroll back slowly looking for the declaration. (I read a a lot of code other people have written with very long functions).

OS X: Overlay scrollbar behaviour is not true to OS system preferences when using an external mouse

13 ár síðan • 0

The "overlay_scroll_bars" setting in Sublime is not true to the OS X system preference value 'When scrolling', when using an external mouse on a Mac laptop. With values 'system' or 'enabled', the scrollbars will show as overlayed when scrolling with the touchpad on the laptop, however if scrolling with an external mouse (I use a Logitech), the scroll bars do not show. With this mouse I can only get the scrollbars to show when setting the value to 'disabled' or using the OS system preference values 'Automatically based on mouse or trackpad' or 'Always'.

The behaviour to show the scrollbars when scrolling with an external mouse on OS setting 'When scrolling' works as it should in other apps. It would be great to get this working as it should in Sublime!

File "forking" while editing

13 ár síðan • 0

Sometimes it would be useful to "fork" the file while editing. For example when you work on a file and you would like to check, i.e. two ways of implementation of some functionality. What you usually do is implementation of first version, then you comment it and implement second version (i.e. to compare speed or something else). This is the situation when file "forking" would be useful. How it should work? Its easy:

1. You open the file (let's name it A)
2. You fork the file (some keyboard shortcut maybe) - you get A1 file. Technically this is the second file buffer (copy) with its own view pointing to the same location on HDD
4. Now you can work on two versions of the same file simultaneously. When you save changes in A, this file will be written to HDD under its original location. When you save A1, the file will overwrite A, but not change anything in view to A (and vice-versa).

And what about version stored on HDD? Simply it is the latest you saved.

Please note that this is NOT file cloning, which is now implemented in Sublime. The main difference is that when you clone the file, each change is propagated between clone and original file. Forked file will not propagate the changes between each other.

Python format strings - highlighting support

13 ár síðan • 0

I use Python formatting strings quite a bit, and decided to write up a bit of regex to match those as well as the usual % variable format.

The diff for the change is here: https://gist.github.com/4540008
and works as well as the old-style format string specification

Mini-map - Need visual indication when the map is only showing a subset of a file

When the map is showing a file that has more lines than can be displayed in the map, it would be great to be able to know instantly if there is more text above/below what the map is showing.

Prefill GoTo Anything with current selection

14 ár síðan • Uppfært 14 ár síðan • 0

It would be extremely useful to have the GoTo Anything bar prefill with the current selection.

This would be especially helpful when working with included files and elements. Just double click on the included file name, hit goTo Anything which is prefilled, hit enter and instantly open the desired file.

Modified Chrome tab closing & resizing

14 ár síðan • updated by 14 ár síðan • 1

You can do tab closing like Chrome, except when closing a tab, save its width and make the next tab that width when it moves over (even if it is bigger/smaller). When you mouse out of the tab area, snap all tabs to the width they're supposed to be.

This way you can have different width tabs and still be able to close them easily like Chrome.

Open Dialog in same folder as current file

14 ár síðan • 0

When I do "Save As" on an existing file, the dialog opens correctly on the same folder as the current file, even if it is on the network (SSH mount).

If I have a network file opened and I want to open another one on the same folder, I have to go all the way to the network path (it's mounted with GnomeVFS). This only happens on remote mountpoints. In other text editors (like Gedit) this does not happen.

System: Ubuntu 11.04 (although I think this issue might be generic)
