Separation of Layout and Groups

Andrew Ho 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
The idea is to separate the Layout/Group into two completely different concepts/entities.

Right now, the Layout determines the Groups (e.g. 2-column Layout automatically creates 2 Groups, http://i42.tinypic.com/30rnxi8.jp). Rather than doing this, my idea is to have the ability to create Groups that each have its own individual Layout that can be changed. Doing this implies that only one Group and it's pages are shown in the display window at any one time.

To help visualize, taking a look at the same screen shot above, all the tabs we see in both the left and right columns would be within the same Group (let's say Group 1). Say there is also a Group 2 with the files footer.phtml and footer.css, that group and its files would NOT be visible in the window, except in the Side Bar (or maybe somewhere else on the screen if the Side Bar is hidden). Switching to Group 2 (either by clicking the Group on the Side Bar or hitting ctrl+2) would then switch to viewing only the files within Group 2 using whatever Layout was originally selected for that Group. Because each Group can have it's own Layout, Group 1 could have a 2-column layout, and Group 2 could have 2-row layout.

Using myself as an example on how I would use this feature; I personally do a lot of web programming, so often I find myself editing 2-3 different files (phtml, css, js) to make changes to a single page. I am also often editing more than just one page at a time, so as I edit more and more pages, the tab count quickly gets out of hand. With this proposed idea, I could easily group each of my phtml/css/js files into Groups for each page I am editing, reducing tab clutter since the display window only displays the files in the current Group in focus. I could also change the layout for each Group independently, though I personally would most likely just leave each Group in single-page layout since I enjoy having lots of screen real-estate.

This idea provides significantly more flexibility than the current Layout/Group system for organizing one's working environment.

Different font colors for matched pairs of parens

Brett Menzies 13 years ago • 0
Make matching pairs of parenthesis different colors depending on how deep they are, the outside pair red, the next pair orange, yellow and so on. I think it would make long lines of math (especially trig) much easier to read, aswell as long if statement conditions that need specified orders etc.

There's a little bug since build 2157, when you delete the root folder of a project, the folder is moved to the trash but it stay showing in the sidebar.

I'm using build 2159 at OSX lion

Goto anything doesn't support prefixing with filename if already started with symbol search

Johan Stenqvist 14 years ago • updated by Tomek Sowiński 13 years ago • 1
  1. open Goto Anything (ctrl + p)
  2. type a symbold search, i.e @something
  3. then go back and add a filename, i.e filename@something

Expected a symbol search in <filename>, but as far as I can tell that never happens.
It works as expected, however, if you start typeing the filename immediate, then the symbol search.

Disable highlighting for idle splited screen

Guillaume Bersac 11 years ago • 0
When we have a splited screen, the number of the line where the cursor is set is still highlighted in the idle splited screens. This is quite confusing, especially when the highlight_line option is on.

Please turn off the highlitght of the line where the cursor is set in the idle buffer

Support external syntax repositories references

nox 13 years ago • 0

External syntax repositories should be referenceable in syntax definitions, e.g. it should be supported to have an "include" key with value "source.erlang#comment".

Set a Custom Default Icon

drew covi 13 years ago • updated by Hans Czajkowski Jørgensen 12 years ago • 2
A way to set a new default Icon (not overwritten on updates) would be really nice. Discussion here:

http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8000


I've used Sublime Text now for a little over a year, and I've always felt that the icon didn't really say a whole lot about what Sublime Text actually does. I've seen a lot of basic icons that show the letter, and a lot of copies of the button theme, and even a few that show markup. 


For me I wanted to start with what Sublime Text means to me. 


It's a building tool. It creates the foundation, and so I liked the idea of blocks, and I liked the idea of abstracting the "S" a little bit. So after a few months of dwelling on it, I felt inspired to take a crack at it and I'd like to submit it to everyone if you're interested.


I started with basic blocks, and refined through a number of steps.

and finally landed on something like this.

This icon has been saved out at HiDPI resolution as well

And in .ico

Enjoy, and feedback welcome of course. I'd love to take some ideas and run with them.

Be able to remap the ctrl, alt, shift, and command keys in OSX so they behave like on PC

Chris Hulbert 14 years ago • updated by Jon Skinner 13 years ago • 2
I've come from a PC using Notepad++ where i can, eg, hold ctrl and press an arrow to jump between words. But on OSX i need to hold alt to do the same thing. It'd be GREAT if there was an option to remap this, and all the other shortcuts, on osx. PLEASE

All key bindings are configurable. Take a look at Packages/Default/Default (<platform>).sublime-keymap, and copy the bindings you'd like from the Windows version into the OSX version.

save_on_focus_lost doesn't check that the file has been deleted

zee 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
When save_on_focus_lost is enabled, deleting the file and then switching to ST and back leads to the file being immediately recreated with the old name. If I delete the directory, ST will start complaining that it couldn't save the file. ST should check that the file exists before saving and disable autosave if it's gone.
