"Open in Browser" button for .html files

stef green 13 years ago updated by Thomas James 13 years ago 1
I'm a really lazy person, so I don't enjoy going back and forth from folder to ST2 to open up different files - I tend to have about 8 different projects open at any time in ST2. I'd like a button/hotkey that would let me open the file in a browser selected from a settings menu/the settings menu and open it in a new tab rather than new window (is that possible or does the browser make that decision?). I think that this would make the design process much easier for me. 

I'm aware it isn't only used for editing .html files, so maybe in the settings there could be a "disable "open in browser" hotkey" or the like.

If text is selected, Goto Anything should populate the search field with that text to make navigation simpler.

Matthew O'Connor 13 years ago updated by Paul Dobbins 12 years ago 1
If I have text selected in some document, when I open Goto Anything, I would like the search field to be populated with that text. This would make code navigation simpler since I could select a method or type name, Ctrl-P, Enter, bam!

To retain backwards compatibility, the text could be highlighted so if you didn't want to search for that you could just start typing.

smart inline editing & sub-buffers

Diego F. Goberna 12 years ago updated by Xavier Ho 12 years ago 1

The best sample I know is this from Adobe Brackets: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/10/get-started-in-adobes-open-source-html-editor-brackets.html


For this a "sub-buffer" or "sub-window" would be necessary, that permit to edit another file from within the current one. 


This could lead to a large number of interesting plugins that permit to jump among interconnected files (definitions+implementations, html+css, views+controllers, etc)


Thanks,

Diego

Disable autocomplete when typing string

David Baumgold 13 years ago updated by Spencer Alger 12 years ago 1
ST2's autocomplete is very useful, but when suggestions pop up in the wrong context, they can be very annoying. I will never use autocomplete when I am typing a string in my code, and it's distracting when they pop up in those cases -- especially when I'm writing a docstring in Python. Please disable this behavior.

Resize tabs dynamically such that you can click the X to close multiple tabs in a row without repositioning the cursor.

Joshua Poehls 13 years ago updated by Robert McLarty 13 years ago 1
Currently (just like all other editors I've used) when you close a tab by clicking the X you have to reposition your cursor to close the next tab. I find this really annoying and love how Chrome will automatically make the next tab's X line up with your cursor.

Here is a very good article explaining how Chrome behaves in this manner: http://theinvisibl.com/2009/12/08/chrometabs/

I would love to see Sublime work like this as well.

Unity Launcher support on Ubuntu

Sublime Text 2 does not properly go into the Unity Launcher without great difficulty, and when it's there, it doesn't have an icon or the right-click lists.

File location tooltip

amnesia7 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0

When you hover over tabs it displays a tooltip of that particular file's filepath. This is fine except that the tooltip for tabs on right hand side of the screen (if too many open) go off the right hand side of the screen.


The tooltip needs to take account of its position in relation to the screen and if there's not room to the right for the filepath tooltip then it should make sure it stays in view.

Hi! In the non-beta version of Sublime Text you have syntax highlighting for AutoHotkey. Could you add it to the beta as well? Thanks!

Code folding for diff (patch) files

Kai Grossjohann 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
I would expect code folding for diff files to fold hunks and files.

So if I do "Fold All" on a diff file, I would see a list of files that are patched by this diff.  Unfolding such a file, I would get a list of hunks, and unfolding a hunk I would get the contents of that hunk.

What do people think?

Using F3 in a macro

Andrew Hampton 13 years ago updated by David Fooks 12 years ago 1
I bought ST2 a few months ago but ending up switching back to Notepad++ because I use this pattern so much. I'd like to be able to do this:

Ctrl+f
[type search query]
Esc
Ctrl+q
F3
[some action]
Ctrl+q

The macro would then find the next instance of my search query, then perform [some action].

New windows should use position of last closed window

Ben Willmore 13 years ago updated by Hay 13 years ago 1
If I close a window, and then create a new one, the position and dimensions of the old window should be re-used for the new one. Currently (on Mac), new windows are always centred on the screen.

Setting line numbers color?

lashtal 14 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 13 years ago 1
It appears line numbers color depend on the settings.foreground key, with a little transparency added.
I'd like to make line numbers almost transparent, so they wont introduce visual noise but still be visible, is it possible?

PHP inside a Javascript string Highlighting bug

Mauno Lempiäinen 13 years ago updated by James Homer 13 years ago 1

Sublime doesn't recognize php tags inside a javascript string:


$addDialog = $('<div><?php echo $this->Form->input('parent_id', array('type' => 'hidden', 'div' => false));?></div>');

It highlights the above php code as string and 'cuts' highlighting the JS string when ever there is a ' chracter in php code.
