After editing preferences, next file is saved in the wrong folder

Jesse Ruderman 11 years ago 0
1. Open the "user preferences" file by pressing ⌘,
2. Save the file
3. Open a new tab by pressing ⌘N
4. Save this file

Result: the save dialog defaults to
"~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/"

Expected: the save dialog should keep defaulting to the last folder I picked myself  (in my case, usually ~/Desktop/ or ~/Documents/)

Mouse select/capture as a block of text

Brian Bruggeman 11 years ago 0

Visual Slickedit has a cool feature where the mouse can select a block of text as a rectangle within the screen rather than across lines of text.  For example:

   a quick text example of where something
   might be a block select rather than a text line

   select


if we used a block select on the first two characters in the above text, we'd have 3 lines:

 

   ['a ',

    'mi',

    'se']


This can be very useful for inserting text, filling in comments, cutting text, etc.

Replace should support Extended characters like \r \n \t etc. Love the progress in Sublime Text 3!!

Word wrap toggle nolonger works

Scott Bowers 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 1
Ubuntu 11.10, x64.

Toggling word wrap doesn't work anymore. It seems to use the behavior of "auto" in all situations, meaning source code never wraps, and text files always wrap.

Collect tabs in one window

Kevin Suttle 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
The tabs are great, but it'd be nice to be able to collect all open tabs/windows in a single window.

Configurable autocomplete commit keystrokes

Matt Sherman 12 years ago 0

I would love to be able to select which characters commit the autocomplete -- for example, dots & semicolons. When in an object-oriented language, eg, the dot is often the next desired character. The dot-autocomplete would save a keystroke.

Support for binding the escape key with another key "escape+g"

bug9321 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 2
The emacs "meta" ("escape") is useful for emacs key bindings.  I have not been able to bind the escape key with another key like I can with "ctrl", for example.  The key bindings I would like are "meta-x" (like the Sublime Text 2 console) and "meta-g" (goto line).

Anyway, some way in Sublime Text 2 to support this would be great.  Maybe it works already. :)   I have not seen any examples, though.

Have the caret step by the tab-size through leading white-space

Jürg Lehni 12 years ago updated by Jed Hunsaker 12 years ago 2
In TextMate, when stepping left / right in leading white-space of any line using the caret / text cursor, it is moved by the tab-size, whether real tabs are used or tabs are substituted with normal spaces.

In the same way, hitting delete while to the right of such white-space should also remove the amount of white-space corresponding to a full tab.

This is a feature I am really missing from Sublime Text since I made the switch.

Moving tabs between windows does not work on non-primary monitor on Mac

smacfarl 12 years ago 0

Reproduce: Take a Sublime 2 window drag to any secondary monitor. Take another Sublime 2 window drag to same or different secondary monitor. Heck even select a Sublime 2 window in the primary monitor. Try to drag any of these to the first Sublime 2 window. Drop taget is never activated to add to the tab bar.
