Fix toggling between single and multiple layouts

Idan Gazit 14 years ago • 0
Currently, layout switching doesn't remember layouts—if I have a three-pane layout and want to make one of them fullscreen for a little while, switching layouts to single and back will put all of my tabs in one pane, invalidating my brain's positional memory.

Desired outcome: I want a quick way to toggle "full-window" for a given pane in a layout, with the ability to return to how I was beforehand.

Sample user story:

Joe is editing 10 files in a three-pane layout. He now wants to focus on one of the files, and wants to get the other ones out of his line of sight for a little bit. He presses a key combination which expands the active pane to be the entire editing area, and when he's finished, he presses the same keycombo to return to the 3-pane layout. All of the tabs he had open are still attached to the panes they were in beforehand, and with the exception of the file he was just editing, their cursor/scroll location are unchanged as well.

Technical considerations:

You've already implemented layouts, which might make it easiest to just improve them instead of adding a whole new editing mode. Giving a project "layout history" will accomplish this nicely—I can switch to single-pane layout and back to three-pane layout without losing my structure.

$70 is just too expensive for Indian users. Price should make some sense.

Nikk Fs 12 years ago • 0

The price of $70 doesn't make any sense to someone like me who lives in a country like India. As of writing $1 = ₹62 and $70 = ₹4372. I can buy a Photoshop CS6 for both my Mac and PC from a website like Flipkart (An online shopping website.) for the same price. What I'm trying to say is Photoshop is a professional tool and it's still half of it's price. I seriously don't consider buying a single license for $70 worthy and I'll continue to use it for free until they do something about it.

Allow queries outside the UI thread

Filipe Cabecinhas 13 years ago • 0
What I want: To be able to perform queries to the UI outside the UI thread.

There's no sense in making View.name() only callable in the UI thread. That goes for several other methods that only query certain view properties and don't do anything else.

XML Folding Bug

Sublime Text 2 Beta, Build 2181

The root element does not fold up correctly in this XML:

<root>
    <el1>abc</el1>
    <el1><![CDATA[
<el2>
    abc
    def
</el2>
        ]]>
    </el1>
</root>

Missing menus when no window open on Mac

Ross Smith 14 years ago • 0
When there is no window open on the Mac, some of the menus are missing:
  • Sublime Text > Preferences > Browse Packages is disabled
  • File > Open Recent only lists folders, not files
Those are the ones I've noticed, there may be others.

vintage mode: paste line at end of file

Michael Seiwald 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
When the cursor is at the last line of the file in vintage mode and you past a whole line with 'p' it does not add a new line as Vim does but pastes at the current line.

Shell worksheets

Chris Corwin 14 years ago • 0

I would love to see a blatant ripoff from BBEdit: shell worksheets.


BBEdit’s Shell Worksheets are much more than a terminal — they’re the best of both the shell and BBEdit! Enter and run Unix commands from within BBEdit, while applying BBEdit’s editing power to prepare commands, or slice & dice the output. Take advantage of the application’s central Unix Worksheet to keep it all in one place, if you like; or create your own worksheet documents. Every BBEdit project carries its own worksheet as well, for added convenience.


(http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/benefitsintegrate.html#worksheet)



I would *love* such a thing in sublime text.


At the very least, being able to have a tab that *is* a terminal view would be... fantastic.

Hiding panes

Florian Velcker 12 years ago • 0

Hi,


I was wondering if it is possible to add something to hide panes without closing them. I mean, currently, if I close a pane, the files in this pane move to other opened pane.

For example, I have in a pane my JS and CSS files, and in the other one several HTML files. I would like to hide the HTML pane because I am not working on this page anymore, but I don't want to close them because I might want to check something in it.

Or simply I like to group files, and if I don't work on a group I hide it.

Vintage mode with command palette

Alexandru Iga 13 years ago • 0
Hello, probabily it has been asked by many but i think for those that want to learn vitange mode a command palette that helps you with the shortcuts would be nice.
So instead of i > shift+i to activate the vintage command palette  that will display you a list of commands.

Do not slurp text when switching from find to replace

Tim Etler 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
I will frequently press ctrl+f to open find and write a regex, then decide that I want to do a replace with it. When I press ctrl+h to switch modes, it slurps up the current selection, which is whatever my regex was selecting, when I wanted to preserve my regex.

This could be fixed by not slurping when switching between modes, and only slurping when ctrl+f/ctrl+h have been pressed for the first time, or a second time in the same mode.

Alternatively maybe the editor could distinguish if the selection is selected due to the result of a regex, and not slurp when transitioning modes in that case.
