I would really like the ability to filter the files in the sidebar by a search that includes file content. To achieve this, a plugin would need access to the sidebar API.

The current Global Search only provides an extract of the results in a separate buffer but I would like the ability to browse through the results with a quick preview of the files content. This is to achieve a similar search as in Evernote and other similar note-taking software.

It would be really useful 2 additional characters would wrap, rather than replace, selected text.

eg: and `mark-up` languages

Or otherwise make it behavior that can be optionally enabled.

when i use ctrl+f with a big file (500 mb for me)

ST tries to update search results with each keystroke and my editor goes to "Not Responding" state before even i type my complete search term

possible solution: don't update search results until the "find" button is pressed

right now, the goto line command (Ctrl+G), and /path/to/file:line_num syntax only accepts decimal values for the line number.

if you use 

int(line_num, 0)

then it should be able to parse other number formats, including hexadecimal, octal, binary, etc.

Thanks!

Searching with Sublime is great right now and does exactly what I need it to do. It would be nice if the search results were cached for some time period of time, you'd have to do some sort of diff to see if things have changed but it would be a nice convenience. Thank you for making such a great editor!

It'd be great if plugins could affect the minimap similarly to Regions, or maybe even Phantoms. It's a bit silly to have to inject ASCII art into files for a better bird's-eye view on the minimap :>

Please tell me how to make external indents for the gutter?

E.g PHP tab_size 2, JS tab_size 4 etc

I understand that the user can do "subl file.c:77", but the standard for editors on unix is to do the "subl +77 file.c" form. Not having this makes Sublime Text not a drop-in editor replacement on unix boxes (and OSX).

One good example of where this is painful: A very common operation (at least in my circles!) is to view a file with 'less' and then hit 'v' to edit if something needs changing. less will use the EDITOR environmental variable (which I have set to "subl") to open the file at the current line, using the +format

Literally every other editor I've used on unix over the past 25 years has supported this format... it would be really awesome if my editor of choice could also use it.

That way my HTML, CSS, and Javascript are grouped together in sections and it's easier to find when I have a couple dozen tabs open. For example:

OPEN FILES

HTML

File1.html

File2.html

File3.html

CSS

File1.css

File2.css

File3.css

JS

File1.js

File2.js

File3.js
