Sublime Text goes at the top of the page by itself when regaining focus
When I go back and forth to the browser and the editor, it sometimes goes up to the beginning of the file I'm editing while regaining the focus. I didn't find a way to reproduce it systematically, but some files seem to have issues, while others don't.
I was expecting this bug to be fixed quickly since it is pretty annoying, but I wonder if this isn't some platform-specific issue, so I decided to report it. I don't know if that can be of some help but I'm using "virtual spaces" when switching from the browser to the editor, maybe that's linked.
Thanks for your answer and your help ! Should you need more information, feel free to contact me, I'd love to help you out to fix this issue if I can :) !
PS : Sublime Text is a really awesome editor, and I definitely fell in love with it ;) !
simplify preference editing by using a split view for default and user files
Editing files to set preferences is nice and flexible, but it's a bit of a pain to have to select the default file first (to see what's available) and then select the user file (to make changes). That also subtly encourages editing that default file. Here's a simple solution:
- For each kind of preference in the Preferences menu, display a single item: the name of the preference.
- Selecting that item displays both the default file and the user file in a split view, e.g. defaults above, user below. The user can then read the desired info from the top pane and copy the appropriate lines into the other.
- The Preferences menu item could then be much simpler: a single entry for each preference would display the pair of files (as just described).
To reiterate, I see these advantages:
- Simpler Preferences menu: one item per kind of preference.
- It is easier to for the user to edit preferences: one selection does it all.
- There is less temptation to edit the default file.

Make Jump to Definition Work for Imports
Hitting F12 (Jump to Definition) should work if hovering over an import statement in a given language. Language examples:
LESS:
@import "other_file.less";
PHP
include "other_file.php";
I understand this may be more practical for some languages than others, I certainly wouldn't expect it to work in all languages in all cases.
build 2134
Expose some low-level API for tabs
Improve multi line cursor performance.
Simple operations on each line in big file (50k lines) are not very fast. And I see only one CPU core is used at this time. I think performance can be improved if you run those multi line operations in parallel.
Build system console - colour background by return code
Please subtly colour the background of the build console when the task completes, either slightly pale green if the errorcode is zero, or red if non-zero. It should remain white whilst running.
Currently I find myself occasionally dismissing a subtle failure.
