Move to trash instead of delete

iconv 14 years ago updated by Dan 6 years ago 6

Deleting is dangerous, it is far more safe to move files to trash. Currently it's possible to miss the file forever even if you just wanted to 'Open Containing Folder'.

Reveal current file in side bar

Song Du 14 years ago updated 12 years ago 3
this will be useful when there's many files/folders in the side bar

tag navigator (like Espresso or Coda)

Ian Russell 13 years ago updated by Huw Thomas 11 years ago 3
The code navigator on right so far is not very useful to me, but I REALLY miss the tag 'tree' quick navigator that Espresso has. It's an excellent feature, and enables me to navigate complex HTML files very easily. Coda has one as well, although it's less useful.

I've only been using Sublime Text for a few hours, so I may have missed this essential feature somehow!

Override plugin settings per-project via .sublime-project.

Xavura 12 years ago updated by Jonathan Cook 12 years ago 9

I'm aware that .sublime-project files can contain settings but it doesn't appear I can do what I want with them.

Some plugins require per-project settings, at present as far as I can tell this is not possible without resorting to creating and using your own settings file somewhere inside the project path.
It would be very nice if two things could happen:
  1. For settings within the .sublime-project file to overwrite settings from a plugin's settings file, when applicable.
  2. For the API to provide a way to obtain these project-specific settings, which also seems to be impossible at present. Bare in mind that the .sublime-project file may not necessarily be stored within the project path and so we can't just manually walk the project path to search for it.

Replace button in find panel does not have a keybinding

Kai Grossjohann 13 years ago updated by Simon vom Eyser 8 years ago 3
Kudos to forum post http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4485 that brought up this problem.

On OSX, in build 2161, the replace button in the find panel (Find / Replace in the menu bar) does not have a keybinding.  If Command+R invoked it, then people could step through matches with Command+G and replace the ones they want with Command+R.

Add option to override project names

Danijar Hafner 11 years ago 0
It is not a big thing, but it would be nice to add a [name] option to project configurations, that overrides the project name displayed in title bar and project switcher. So you could name project configurations just [project.sublime-project], there mostly is only one project file in one directory anyway.

Show path of open files in sidebar

Oktay Acikalin 14 years ago updated by rhuk 13 years ago 2
I think, this was mentioned before somewhere but couldn't find it anymore.
I work with many open files at once which have the same name and are only differentiated by their path. So the list of open files result in being 5x product.py, complete.py etc..
It would be nice to see the end of the path within the empty space either on the left or on the right side of the filename.

For example on the left:
…api/input/collector/product.py
…ox/restapi/abstract/product.py

For example on the right:
product.py - …api/input/collector/
product.py - …ox/restapi/abstract/

The path should be shown in a lighter/transparent color so that the filename is prominent.

PS I prefer the variant on the right.

Color picker

A color picker with with the option to insert hex or rgb color codes would be neat.

Workspace / Project API

guillermooo 14 years ago updated by glyph 13 years ago 3
An API to control the projects would probably solve the shortcomings of the sidebar.
