A setting to make untitled-1, untitled-2 the default name for new files

Pedro Murillo 13 years ago • 0

When you create a new file, its first line becomes the displayed name for its tab and sidebar item. Is there any setting to disable this and return to the previous behaviour, where new files where just named untitled-1, untitled-2, etc?

command line behaves inconsistently concerning opening new windows

Thomas Jachmann 14 years ago • updated by Jon Skinner 14 years ago • 3
My open_files_in_new_window setting is set to false.

Here's how sublime behaves:
`subl a_file` opens the file in the current sublime window
`subl a_directory` opens the directory in a new sublime window
`subl -n a_file` opens the file in a new sublime window
`subl -n a_directory` opens the directory in a new sublime window but also opens another new and empty  sublime window

Here's how it would be consistent:
`subl a_file` opens the file in the current sublime window (same as above)
`subl a_directory` adds the directory to the current sublime window
`subl -n a_file` opens the file in a new sublime window (same as above)
`subl -n a_directory` opens the directory in a new sublime window without opening another sublime window

So basically, the new window behavior is broken on opening directories.

The command line is working as intended with respect to folders and new windows in the current dev builds (unwarranted empty windows are no longer created)

subl --wait never returns when invoked on a directory

Josh Strater 13 years ago • updated by Rory Powis 12 years ago • 1

My VISUAL environment variable is set to subl --wait. When invoked on a directory (subl --wait my_directory/), the command never completes, even after quitting Sublime Text 2 entirely.

Using layout to have a preview

Keisuke Takahashi 12 years ago • 0
Hello,

I think it's could be interesting to have an option, that developpers can use, to transform a panel in the layout, to be an html preview.

For example, I want to develop a markdown preview, but I won't use the preview in a browser, so my idea is to be able to have 2 layouts (side by side) and the first one to write the markdown, and the other one to have an html preview of it.

Of course it's just an example, and could be use for more usage...

Thanks in advance,

Narrower find buttons

Tomek Sowiński 13 years ago • 0

I like my Sublime Text window narrow so that I can fit a web browser next to it. The problem is, the search field in the bottom find panel is gone -- in a narrow window the three find buttons take all the x-space.


Proposal: make the find buttons narrower (just narrow enough to fit the labels) when the window is narrow to display a reasonably sized search field.

SFTP/FTP UI

Would be awesome to get a UI that's easier to use than working around plugins to set up stuff.

Triple quoted strings in scala mode are treated as comments.

Zac Duncan 15 years ago • 0
Auto-escaping strings in scala files are highlighted as comments instead of as strings. 
Example:

val sql = """SELECT *
FROM the_table
WHERE 
the id = ?"""

Enable dragging files/folders in sidebar into/out of folders in sidebar

ugysdf68 12 years ago • 0
I think it would be really great if we could drag a file in the sidebar into a folder, that is also in the side bar.

Panel layout change doesn't work on Ubuntu 10.10

Sebastián Veggiani 15 years ago • updated 15 years ago • 6
Please, watch this screencast I've made to demo the problem: http://ubuntuone.com/p/cJ9/ (I have tried to upload the video to youtube but it didn't work)

This is not critical, but it's an interesting feature to have :)

Color preferences

Victor 14 years ago • updated by Jeremy Halliwell 14 years ago • 1
It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut that would allow you to quickly cycle cycle forwards and backwards through all the color scheme preferences.  It's nice to change the look occasionally but have to go Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Color Scheme > (scheme) looking for something different is tedious and time-consuming.  I know this seems extremely minor but sometimes it's the little things that make users sit up and take notice.
