configure number of lines to scroll with mousewheel

abc 13 years ago • updated by André Caetano 11 years ago • 2

I'd appreciate a config option to increase the number of lines that are scrolled when scrolling with the mousewheel.


I suspect that this is an OS related value, however Ubuntu hasn't implemented an easy way to adjust the number of lines the scroll wheel scrolls and it's currently stuck at 3 lines. This causes scrolling with the mousewheel in large files to be rather slow and often futile.


(a dynamic scroll distance based on speed of the mouse scroll would be even cooler, maybe OS X already has this?)


(extra brainstorm idea: have Supreme Commander-like zooming for navigating code instead of scrolling. I'm not sure how well this would work but it potentially could be very useful and slick, see: http://www.toomuchzerging.com/2011/02/mechanic-monday-supreme-commanders-strategic-zoom/)

Improve startup behaviour and commandline options so that subl can replace system text editor.

Emanuele D'Osualdo 12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 2
It would be useful to have a way to ask Subl to just display the file passed in the commandline and ignore for the moment the setting for reopening files etc. A switch to ask it to act just as gedit would do.
Currently with a slightly old version of GTK in Linux Sublime Text wont detect it is already running when launched. This has many side effects as duplicating all the windows if launched twice. Such a switch could help in that situation too.

A method to make tab label font bigger without clipped-off.

陈正煦 11 years ago • 0

When I tried to make the font in tab label bigger,the lower part of the characters were cut off,and it seems that there's no good solution now,if the next sublime text can fix that, it would be more perfect.

project management

ulhume 13 years ago • updated by Stefan Jansen 12 years ago • 2
Very few improvements will greatly improve project management :
  1. Adding a simple "title" (or name, or caption, or whatever field in project structure that would be used in window title, "Switch project in window" and "Recent Projects". If user fill this field, no more long path before project name and odd "sublime-project" extension. Simple and clean.
  2. Adding a "title pattern" field to structure project in order to allow those who want to have there project name before current file path to do so.

Command for toggling find panel settings

Falcon NL 14 years ago • updated by Jon Skinner 13 years ago • 0
In ST1, Alt+r toggles regex on and off in the find panel. I'm trying to recreate this in ST2, so my question is: what is the new equivalent of toggleApp find.regex?

Open file using file manager in existing Sublime Text 2 window

Josiahmazing 14 years ago • updated by Jon Skinner 12 years ago • 11
I've setup Sublime Text 2 to be my default text editor. As a result, each time I open a text file in my file manager (Nautilus on Ubuntu) a new Sublime Text 2 process is launched.

While sometimes this might be desirable, often it isn't. For example: If I have many files open in my current ST2 session / project and then open a file related to this project in Nautilus. In this situation a new ST2 process is created, which seems to clone the existing ST2 process's session, and then create a new tab for the opened file. Instead, what I'd prefer in these cases, is the ability to have the file I opened in the file manager appear as a new tab in an existing (if any) Sublime Text 2 process.

Is there any way to do this currently? Perhaps a command line argument, or some other option to configure?

If not, please add this feature. Thanks!

Sublime Text 3: Vintage modes stuck when using multiple windows and saving files outside sublime text

Frederik Vestre 12 years ago • updated by Sundeep Malladi 12 years ago • 3

Vintage modes stuck when using multiple windows and saving files outside sublime text. Sometimes pressing esc multiple times does not change from insert to command mode, and sometimes editing in insert mode doesn't work, editing in command mode (removing words etc) still works

Error "Unable to save" when part of the path does not exist

David Warburton 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
If you start sublime_text.exe from the command line with an argument to a file in a folder that doesn't exist, Sublime Text 2 will open and present you a blank file, but on save gives the error message "Unable to save <full path to file>".

Example: sublime_text.exe c:\afolder\afile.txt

Where c:\afolder\ does not exist.

I think instead of the error message, Sublime Text 2 should create the folders that are required.

Window split feature

Elias Zamaria 12 years ago • 0
I would like a window split feature, like in TextWrangler, that allows me to see 2 different parts of the same file at different times, in 2 independently scrolling sections, by simply by dragging the splitter thing with my mouse.


I am aware that I can do something kind of like this by picking a 2-pane layout and opening the same file in both panes but that is kind of tedious.
