Customize how unsaved files are named in tabs / sidebar
If you create a new plain-text file, its first line becomes the displayed name for its tab or sidebar item. This is extremely useful for having multiple "scratch" type items. This feature stops working for XML and other file types where the first line doesn't contain something useful.
I'd like the ability to have a per-mode regex to find what the "name" of an unsaved file should be. Some ideas for different modes:
* Docbook or DITA XML: Look for the first <title> element
* PHP, C, shell scripts: Look for the first appearance of "Name:" inside a comment
To understand why this might be useful, let me tell you a little about my workflow. I write in Docbook all day long. The finished Docbook files are saved in an online CCMS, and I use OSX, which saves the state of open files (at least in Sublime Text). So I don't save my work to local files, because as soon as I update the CCMS my local copy is in danger of becoming out of sync anyway.
So each file I am working on is in a (probably unsaved) tab in Sublime Text. I currently have one window with 13 different (related) files in this state. Saving each of them involves coming up with a good displayable name for it, so that the tabs remain useful to me. My current workaround is to keep my file in "Plain Text" mode until the last minute, with the first line of the file being what I'd like to see in the tab. It's a bit silly, because I'm losing out on some of the benefits of using the mode.
I spoke with a colleague who is a Java developer, and he'd like this feature too.

Better autocomplete support for object methods
This may be a little more towards full IDE, but it would be nice to have better autocomplete support for objects and their methods. For instance (in Java), if you have a String object named test, it would be nice to give the methods available for the object when you type the period after the object name. For example typing "test." would give autocomplete suggestions such as isEmpty() and length() and would reduce autocomplete suggestions which are not part of the object's class.

Alphabetize Go to Symbol
TextMate offers an option to alphabetize the symbols in the symbol list (still structured, of course). This is useful for larger classes.

def on_new(self, view) has no window
I'm trying to create a plug-in which intercepts the new file command and opens the new tab to the right of all existing tabs. My code looks something like:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class EventDump(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_new(self, view):
print ("new file")
print (view.window().__class__)
w = view.window()
w.set_view_index(view, w.active_group(), len(w.views_in_group (w.active_group())) - 1)
The problem appears to be that the view doesn't have a window associated with it at the point at which the event fires, making it (as far as I can tell) impossible to move the new file's tab to the rightmost of the rest. Perhaps this event should fire after the view has a window or another event created, like on_after_new_complete.

When at the beginning of a line, ctrl-right should take the cursor to the first non-whitespace character
When the cursor is at the beginning of a line (with some whitespace before the first character), pressing ctrl-right will take the cursor to the end of the first word instead of the first non-whitespace character.
It would be nice if it brought it to the first non-whitespace character like pressing home does.

Closing a project closes all non related open files
When I have a project open and work on non related files all open files are closed, even when they are not related to the project. These files should kept open.

Use Apple's FSEvents (and other platform equivalents) to watch for external modifications.
Apple's FSEvents infrastructure will allow Sublime Text to be proactively notified when a file it has open gets modified on disk out from under it, which means that the view can be refreshed as soon as that happens instead of when the view gets focus again. I'm not sure if there are Windows/Linux equivalents to this, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

find in currently focused file
I don't see how to file all occurence in currently focused file, sublime seems to only provide find in <open buffer> and <open files>, but not a single focused file, is it a miss of functionality, or is there any keyword to specify search scope to current focused file?
