Multi word / bag of words search facility

Stuart Roebuck 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
When using Sublime Text for natural language text it can be useful to be able to search for occurrences of multiple words in proximity.  e.g. "apache & cache".

Hopefully this would work much as a Google search works, scoring matches by the number of search words found and distance between the words.

I use Sublime Text to produce some quite lengthy markdown documents and I often want to locate passages of text related to particular subjects which cannot be identified by a single specific word search.  The above mentioned functionality would be really powerful for this.

A method to prompt for build arguments?

Matt Long 14 years ago updated by Oktay Acikalin 14 years ago 1
Hi, is there any way to have a variant of the build command to prompt for build arguments?

I'd like to be able to do this to start a build for a particular target.

E.g. F7 -> runs make
Shift + F7 -> prompt so I can run "make clean" or "make my_target"

Provide previous/next navigation (based on history)

Kai Grossjohann 13 years ago updated by tomr 12 years ago 5
Idea: Whenever the cursor is moved "far", remember the position before that movement in a history and provide commands to navigate the history.

"Far" movements would comprise:
  • Selecting another file.
  • Every move that involves Goto: Command+P, Command+R, Ctrl+G.
  • Move by searching:
    • Find, Incremental Find
    • Find next
    • Selecting a find result from Find in Files with F4
  • Go to beginning / end of buffer.
"Remembering the position" means to record the current file, view and the current cursor position.

Side Bar click expands folders

t1c 14 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 13 years ago 0
Side Bar contains "FOLDERS" with project folders listed. Great. But to expand folder and see files inside you need to click on tiny arrow down button that is not easy to hit. Would it be easier to just expand folder as it is clicked.

Name and create new files immediately, just like creating new folders

mrmachine 13 years ago updated by Adam Miller 13 years ago 1
Looks like creating a new file at the moment just opens an untitled file in memory and changes the CWD so that the save dialogue defaults to the correct location.

I'd like this to work more like creating a new folder, where I am asked for the filename and the file is created (saved as a blank file) immediately.

Show Matching Braces in Bold

Currently matching braces are underlined (like { this } ). Please add an option to display them bold instead (like { this } ).


Improves readability IMO.

Bug in multi-column select when word wrap is turned on

Joshua Clanton 13 years ago updated by Nathan Brown 13 years ago 1
When using multi-column select on the first column of a block of text, it selects the first visual column, when I believe it should select the first column within the logical line.

The current behavior leads to multiple selections within the same line even when that is not intended.

Combine "Open File…" and "Open Folder…" into a single menu option.

Mark Haase 13 years ago updated by Alex Lopatin 13 years ago 1
I'm not sure what the reason is for having two different open options (perhaps a cross-platform issue), but TextMate has a single open option that works for both files and folders. I use the folder option more often so I have rebound my keys to make it more instinctive, but it still does trip me up at times.
