In the "Recent projects" menu, list project name, not absolute path.

Or, preferably, list the project name BEFORE the absolute path. This aids in faster recognition of the project name.

"find whole word" for variables

U N. 13 years ago updated by Felix Lange 13 years ago 2

Currently, "find" with "whole word" option enabled doesn't allow to match php variables ($var) and some of ruby variables (@var, @@var) (if the whole variable is searched ("$var"), not the alphanumeric part ("var")). I do kindly request a way to make these match, possibly involving the accordingly adjusted word_separators list.

For the details as to how and why I tried to deal with a similar scenario in a plugin, please see https://github.com/SublimeText/WordHighlight/pull/2

Make sidebar automatically re-open folders after changing projects.

Shawn McCool 13 years ago updated by Andrew Herron 12 years ago 1
I switch back and forth between projects CONSTANTLY.  It's becoming quite frustrating to keep opening my sidebar folders for each project every time I switch back and forth.  I'd love for ST2 to just remember which were open, and when I next open that project restore the sidebar to that state.

Problems with windows-1250 encoding

Krzysztof Jagiełło 13 years ago updated by Łukasz Langa 12 years ago 1

I am working with some files encoded in windows-1250 that contain polish characters. And while all other text editors have no problems with showing all the characters right, Sublime Text shows me strange characters.


Besides it would be very nice to see a feature that would allow us to change encoding of files while editing. Something like this

Autosuggest for variables containing dashes doesn't work

Alexander Wörndl 11 years ago 0

The 'extract_completions' method seams to have a bug when it comes to variables that contain one or more dashes.


Testcase


$button_color_main: #0f0 /* works as expected */

$button-color-secondary: #f00 /* will auto complete only the word '$button' */


The bug is double checked and confirmed, more here: https://github.com/alienhard/SublimeAllAutocomplete/issues/18

'Show build results' doesn't make sense if already shown (turn into 'Show/Hide' and move to View menu)

iconv 13 years ago 0

First, Tools->Build Results->Show Build Results menu item does nothing if those are present. It should change name to 'Hide Build Results'.


Second, it would be better to move this under View menu since most Show/Hide items are already there.

Style Token feature from Notepad++

Razvan Taranu 12 years ago updated by siddumummy 7 years ago 3

A way to highlight certain pieces of text with different colors. Like the current highliting when you find a word, but I can assign permanent colors to the text.


Very useful when tracking variables / file logs through large files.

Add incremental find and replace across files

Russell Keith-Magee 12 years ago 0
If you do a Find and replace on a single file, you get options to "find", "replace", "find all" and "replace all". This means you can interactively review every replacement that is going to happen in a file.

However, if you do Find and replace across files, you only get "find" and "replace" (which are implicitly "find all" and "replace all"). This means you can't interactively review changes -- you have to make all the possible changes, then go back and review them.
It would be nice if the feature set of find and replace on a single file were also available over multiple files.

Asynchronous file saving

Nox10 12 years ago 0
I'm usually working on files connected by SFTP or SMB. The delay that my OS takes to save the files may vary alot. I would love to still work on my files, or other files at that, while Sublime Text 2 is currently writing to the network or filesystem.
Currently all Sublime Text 2 windows are freezing. 
Thanks alot
