I just finished a Python .sublime-completions file and noticed a descrepancy between the snippet and completion formats. Snippets include a description field where as the sublime-completion format does not.

Can we add this feature so completions will have descriptions like snippets do?

As with the re-opening of closed tabs, it would be nice to be able to re-open the last-run search as part of that same tab history (or implemented as a setting that could be turned on).

1. Open a Sublime Text 2 window
2. Minimise that window
3. In the terminal, type

   subl -n

Instead of simply opening a new window, the first window is first un-minimised.

Hi

There is a case in my code where I need to have a tab inside quotes. The problem is that I have the setting to convert tabs to spaces set.

I'm guessing that this setting is intended for the layout of code and not for tabs inside quotes. I would recommend only doing the conversion from tabs in to spaces outside quotes.

Using strace -f sublime_text on Linux, I noticed that Sublime spams poll() system calls when the window has focus and you use the smooth, phase, or blink caret_style:

[pid 20117] poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN}, {fd=19, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 11, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
[pid 20117] recvfrom(3, 0xdd2f94, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

This results in a permanent 5% CPU usage and prevents the CPU from entering sleep modes and reducing battery life, even if you are not doing anything.

If you use the wide or solid carets, this does not happen.

Questions:

1. Why needs poll() be used for caret animation?
   
2. I can understand that smooth/phase require some form of frequent updates, but why does blink poll with the same frequency instead of twice per second?

Thank you!

My hand is on the mouse anyway when I'm done with an edit, as I'm switching over to a terminal window to run something.

So a save-file button would save my pinky finger from another press of the control key.

import sublime, sublime_pluginclass

FooCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self):
        v = self.window.new_file()
        v.settings().set('default_dir', '/tmp')
        self.window.focus_view(v)

{ "keys": ["super+shift+x"], "command": "foo" }
