Sublime Text 2 is a text editor for OS X, Linux and Windows, currently in beta.
Folders vs Groups (virtual folder / workspace)
I feel that "Files" are a bit redundant when you have tabs. What would be better is a "virtual workspace" of files/folders that aren't open. Basically have a "Group" that is a "virtual folder" that contains references to other files/folders. If the side bar looked like this (https://github.com/jezdez/textmate-missingdrawer) you could give actual folders a blue icon and groups a yellow icon.
The side bar would essentially be what's under "Folders" (with a different look). You can add physical folders to the project. When you add a "Group" they are mixed in with top-level folders with a yellow folder icon. You can drag other folders/sub-folders/files into a group and have it copy those references.
The reason behind this is "Groups" are a temporary workspace that can be easily removed (delete key deletes reference without asking). "Folders" are permanent parts of your project (delete asks you if you want to delete the actual file). With "top-level" folders you can either delete the actual folder or reference.
I know some others may actually prefer having "active files" in a side bar instead of tabs. This should be a different stackable panel.
With the tabs themselves, would be nice if they worked like Firefox's tabs (don't squish tabs too much, they fall off at some point and arrows appear, and a menu is on the right side to see all tabs).
Provide a sort option for open files in the sidebar
My file layout is not particularly suited to project treatment, yet I often have dozens of files open.
Open Files in the sidebar is most useful when many files are open at once, whereas the tab bar becomes unusable.
However, finding a particular file among dozens, or scanning the list quickly to see if the file is already open is nearly impossible because the files are not in a sorted order.
Goto Anything helps, but feels sub-optimal.
Ideally, and incorporating other preferences suggested here, I'd like to be able to toggle between Sorted, Modified, Stack or Tab order.
But even a user-setting to pick my preferred order would be great.
Sublime Text 3 Find all symbol references
The new updates in Sublime Text 3 are fan-freaking-tastic. I absolutely love using sublime. The "Goto Symbol in Project" and "Goto Definition" are going to be huge timesavers for me. I work on projects that involve C, CSS, HTML, Javascript, Lua, and large makefiles. In particular, many C functions are called by Lua, but referred to as strings. The "Goto Definition" is huge for being able to find the original C function being referred to. Thank you.
While "Find in Files" does allow me to find all the references to a symbol by direct search, it would be nice to have a "Goto References" or "List References" option to quickly list all references to the symbol in the project as a faster method vs direct search. I'm not sure if the project index is structured in such a way to make that easy.
I cannot praise Sublime Text 3 enough. What an amazing piece of software.
hi please add RTL (right to left) languages support to sublime text
hi please add RTL (right to left) languages support to sublime text , RTL languages like arabic and hebrew and maybe other languages , sublime text should detect the current language changed in the OS like windows 7 and give support for it ...

Command Palette should include everything
Maybe I'm misunderstanding or missing a setting, but it appears things have have key bindings (Open File, Close File, etc.. don't appear) in the command palette. This is frustrating as a new user, since I don't know all the shortcuts and why exclude these from the list?
provide a way to flatten sidebar tree structure so it only includes directories with files, like intellij
some projects have an annoying amount of directories, without files, just more directories to navigate down till you get to files.
intellij and some other editors.
provide a way to flatten the directory tree. so instead we have a list of shortened dir names for those dirs that contain src files.
allow a view with a list like structure:
