Auto escape regex patterns in find

Eric Huss 12 years ago updated by otak0 11 years ago 1
If you have some text selected, and open the find panel, the text is auto inserted (assuming find_selected_text is set).  However, this text does not have any regex characters escaped, so you can't actually search without manually escaping things (or turning off regular expressions, which I prefer not to do).

Ruby/Rails test execution

Matthias Käppler 13 years ago updated by Maciej 13 years ago 1
I'd really like to see support for running tests in a more integrated way. Even with the builders, running tests sucks. You can't do things like running only one test, and everything is printed to the console, overwriting output when running a search in the background.

When truncating filenames in tab titles, prioritize the file's extension to be shown

Kwaak 14 years ago 0
When a layout panel has alot of tabs open, and the width of each individual tab is reduced enough that filenames have to be truncated, it would be nice to prioritize the file's extension. The file extension is one of the indiciators I rely on when I'm searching for a specific open tab.

The new auto complete is amazing!

chaiguy 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
Just wanted to say I *love* the new autocomplete popup in the latest build. It's gorgeous and incredibly handy. I don't know how it works but it seems to be incredibly smart about guessing what I want to type. The old inline one was kind of driving me crazy. Great work!

Don't make me think about where to put project files

Taco Ekkel 13 years ago updated by Filipe Cabecinhas 13 years ago 2
Right now I have to figure out where to put (two!) project files for every project I make. Don't make think about that. Just store them in your appdata somewhere. The current overhead goes against the grain a little bit of Sublime's 'zen fluidity'.

Display key bindings in menus

mrmachine 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 2
Some key bindings are not displayed in the menus, which makes it difficult to learn basic shortcuts for common features.

E.g. "super+k, super+u" for "Edit > Convert Case > Upper Case". No keyboard shortcut is displayed on the menu.

I only found this shortcut by chance when googling about Sublime Text. Sure, you can open the keymap file and try to read 500+ lines of JSON, but that's not very friendly.

Highlighting DOM nodes in the browser from ST, click on an item in browser to jump to its source code

See 'espresso' for mac's 'X-Ray' feature for somehting similar - this would make life much easier - click in the browser to go to the relevant HTML or CSS in Sublime Text

Allow trailing comma in settings lists

codex 13 years ago updated by Joel Thornton 12 years ago 2
It would be nice if this were a legal config:

{
"foo": "bar",
}

It's easier to cut and paste individual settings this way.

Malik Barrett 12 years ago 0

The system wide text substitution on OS X 10.6+ is unsupported in Sublime Text 2. The feature is found under System Preferences > Language & Text > Text.
