Selected file in file list should always correspond to current file

chaiguy 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
For example, when the current tab is changed, the selected file in the file list should change to highlight that file if visible, or deselect if not. Having the file selected implies it is the current file and can be confusing.

The highlighted file in the sidebar needs to look more osx like. The highlighted color needs to be darker and the text needs to be white like so: http://screencast.com/t/xXhnwDrh

Call plugin_unloaded when Sublime Text 3 exits or quits

AlanH 12 years ago 0

Plugins need to cleanup things, but Sublime Text 3 exits/quits without calling the plugin_unloaded() function. It's unclear in the api docs whether plugin_unloaded() was meant to be called when Sublime exits. If this is not a bug, is there another way for plugins to cleanup when Sublime Text 3 exits?

Open files on second mouse _up_ instead of mouse _down_

Anders Ingemann 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
When double clicking a file (in windows at least) it opens on the second mousedown event instead of the second mouseup event. This causes the file view to be moved down before the opening action is completed.

Equivalent of mate_wait for subl

Stuart Roebuck 13 years ago updated by Sean Tan 13 years ago 1
Sublime Text 2 can be invoked from the command line with `subl` and there is an option `-w` which enables it to wait until the file is closed and then return it so that ST2 can be used as an editor for command line executables that call upon an `$EDITOR`.

However, setting `EDITOR` to `path/to/subl -w` doesn't work for some commands like `crontab` that expect the editor to be just a path to an executable.

TextMate solved this by allowing you to create an alias to `mate` with the suffix `_wait`, e.g. `mate_wait` which would be executed as if the `-w` option had been used.

It would be great if Sublime Text 2 could also add this valuable feature.

An option to quit Sublime automatically when the last document is closed

 I wish Sublime for Mac has an option to quit itself automatically when the last document is closed.

merge sublime settings recursively

Sebastian Thiel 11 years ago 0
Sublime settings files are consulted in a certain order , and files loaded later may overwrite values in files loaded earlier. That way, they may override values and change settings.

When trying PythonTestST3, I tried to change the 'python_test.command' setting in my syntax specific settings, whereas the 'python_test.working_dir' key should be changed in the project settings.

Doing it that way will leave me with settings that only contain the 'python_test.command' key, but not the 'python_test.working_dir' key, as the settings files are apparently not merged recursively, but only for the top-level key.

A recursive algorithm would allow people to layer configurations, and keep values on the level where they belong.

In that particular case, it would be practical to define 'python_test.command' on a per-user or per-machine level, whereas all other configuration could be coming with the project settings, which are shared by everyone.

highlight arbitrary lines

I would like to be able to highlight arbitrary lines of text, especially when working on plain text that is not subject to any sort of syntax highlighting.

Column Cut and Paste

Chris Thompson 13 years ago updated by adzenith 13 years ago 1
My original editor from the late 80's was Brief which was nearly universal and close to taking over Epsilon, but alas never happened.  However, it was right when Windows was coming about and Premia created a new windows text editor called Codewright (eventually bought and killed by Borland).  This editor allowed you to choose your key mapping, Windows/VI/Brief/Epsilon.  But the biggest feature it had (which originally came from Brief) was the ability to copy/cut/paste columns of data!  I can't tell you the power and speed this adds to my development.  There are so many times when I have a long list of something and to be able to slice out a portion right in the middle and paste it back in, is an AWESOME feature!  I'd love to see this added in, so far I can find no other editor that does this except Codewright and I keep my old version just for that one feature.  Other developers have come to me to be able to quickly edit things that would take them hours and I can do in a few minutes.
