SQL syntax highlighting error in concatenated python strings

Bcj Brendan 12 years ago updated by Joel Thornton 12 years ago 1
In python strings that are broken up onto multiple lines (e.g. see below), SQL syntax highlighting only appears on the very first line of the string.
statement = ("SELECT <col> FROM <table> WHERE "
                    "<col> = <value> AND <col> = <value>;")

RegEx search should support lookaround.

Justin Hileman 13 years ago 0
It would be great if RegEx search were lookaround aware.

It currently allows me to use lookaround, but considers the lookaround "part of the result" not a zero-width assertion as it should be. For example this search:
Foo(?>Bar)

should (and does) find instances of 'Foo' immediately followed by 'Bar' in my document. But if it were truly lookaround-aware, it would only select 'Foo' as the "search result", instead of 'FooBar'.

Ctrl+9 should select last tab

Skalman 14 years ago updated by eproxus 12 years ago 2
Instead of selecting the 9th tab, it ought to select the last tab, regardless of its position.

This would imitate behavior in Firefox and Chrome.

Selective Editing ala KEdit (REXX)

Vic Schmekli 13 years ago updated by John Foley 11 years ago 1

Please, Please PLEASE add selective editing as in KEdit (REXX).  Your editor will blow all others away if you add this so it's not clumsy--no others do.

KEdit is unfortunately no longer maintained.

Please? See I asked nice!

I want a preference to prevent me from editing read-only files

Steven Johnson 13 years ago updated by Anvar Sosnitski 13 years ago 2
I use an SCM (Perforce) that keeps most of the source tree read-only; sometimes I forget if a file is checked out for editing or not, and start editing a non-checked-out file, only to realize it when I try to save. I'd like to instead be able to have ST2 just yell at me if I attempt to change a read-only file. Lots of other editors have this setting, please let me have it in ST2 as well. (If there is such a setting, well, nevermind, but I haven't been able to find it so far...)

More control over mouse bindings

Simon Jamie 13 years ago updated by Baltasar Sanchez 13 years ago 1
Currently it seems that you can redefine mouse bindings but there's little or no documentation and there doesn't seem to be a way to provide a context or remove bindings altogether. I'd like to be able to completely remove some default bindings rather than have all my mouse buttons hijacked by Sublime Text.

On a mac, build 2036, when I save a new file it assumes a .txt extension and asks if I'm sure I want to use a file extension that's not .txt

Brad Gessler 14 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 14 years ago 2
On a mac, build 2036, when I save a new file it assumes a .txt extension and asks if I'm sure I want to use a file extension that's not .txt. Forcing a .txt is a bit presumptious since most folks are saving .txt files with different extensions (like Ruby .rb files for example).

Screenshot https://skitch.com/bradgessler/rughc/sublime-text-2

Also, when I type in Cmd + A for the file name, I get an audible bell warning.

Highlight the contents of the html style attribute like it was css code.

Ken Corbett 13 years ago updated by Sergey Zarovski 13 years ago 1

Right now it displays as a plain string.  The Komodo Editor has this feature and I always found it nice.

Separate build/run actions

Jurriën Stutterheim 14 years ago 0
Currently, there is only the Build action available, but I would also like a separate Run action.
In case of Haskell, Build would call "ghc --make", while Run would call "runhaskell".

Zoomed minimap

krant 14 years ago updated 14 years ago 1
When viewing large log files minimap navigation become too sensitive - a little scroll movement can skip several pages. It would be really nice if minimap will act as zoom lense and scrolling become more smart.
