It should be possible to organize sidebar items into custom categories.

Miloš Levačić 13 years ago updated 11 years ago 4
I use Sublime Text 2 for web development. A lot of the times I will have 20+ files open in the sidebar (PHP models, views, controllers, configuration files, CSS files, javascript, etc.), and I would really appreciate an option to be able to sort them into custom categories. Ie. like there is the default "OPEN FILES" category, I would like to be able to add my own (and name them however I like), and drag files between them. Even better, a tree-like structure would be even awesomer - actually, it's something like a folder structure for a project, but I'd like to be able to customize it independently from the actual file system, since my file organization is usually a bit different due to the underlying framework in use, and I'd prefer seeing only the currently open files sorted by category, than the complete file/folder tree that shows up in the FOLDERS category, when you add a folder to the project.

Ignore file types and directories in project when using "Goto Anything"

Iain McGinniss 13 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 12 years ago 3
When working with my Scala projects, I would like the "target" folder, where all the outputs of a build go, so that files in that folder do not appear when I use the "Goto Anything" feature (CTRL+P). Or, at the very least, have them visibly deprioritised in the search results.

It would also be good to be able to do this with certain patterns of files, such as *.class files. A generalised regular expression based approach like that employed by Mercurial in it's .hgignore file would perhaps be a good all-round solution.

Open File should be able to select directories

Andrew Pennebaker 13 years ago updated by adzenith 13 years ago 2
One thing I love about TextMate is its ability to easily open a directory as a project and edit the files inside.

Mac I-beam pointer disappears on dark backgrounds.

Jon Thornton 14 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 13 years ago 2
When using a light on dark color scheme like Sunburst, the mouse pointer stays dark and is nearly impossible to see. This is because OS X doesn't invert the pointer color like Windows does. Textmate solves this problem by including a custom pointer icon with the app

"Find Next" (F4) should select the search term

Josh Bjornson 14 years ago 0
When you use F4 or if you double click on one of the "Find in files" search results, it takes you to the appropriate line of the search match, but the matching text is not selected. It would be nice if the matching text was also selected.

Side bar behaves like side panel

Aymeric Burkmann 12 years ago 0
I would love a side bar that behaves like a side panel. I mean that it would automatically show when cursor hit the left side of the screen (or the left side of the ST2 window) and hide on rolling away from the side.

Toggle comment not working on html script tag

Les Stroud 12 years ago updated by Alex Ilyaev 11 years ago 4
If there is javascript embedded in a script tag in html, then the following happens:
  • If I highlight any part or all of the javascript and toggle comment, it functions as expected
  • If I highlight any part of the html (not including javascript) and toggle comment, it functions as expected
  • If I highlight a mix of html and javascript and toggle the comment, it works as expected in all except the following case...
  • If I highlight just the script tag (opening and closing) including the contained javascript, the toggle comment command uses // for all the javascript and for the html tags (script).  It should use html comment syntax for the script tags and js syntax for the javascript part.

Wrap the output in the console

The console output is hard to read, so introspecting things with dir() is hard.

Option: create project automatically when a folder is opened

aristidesfl 13 years ago 0

Add an option which makes Sublime Text 2 create a project automatically when a folder is opened for the first time*.


The name of the project files should be equal to the folder name and stored in the folder root.


The project should be loaded automatically the next time the folder is opened.




Interesting additional options might be:

- By default, give no name to the project files on Mac & Linux (.project and .workspace)

- Create a folder to keep all the project files together 




*(A folder can be opened either by dragging it to the icon or by using the new menu item: Open Folder)

Sidebar doesn't update file after case-only rename on Mac OS X

Victor Kryukov 13 years ago 0
E.g. if I rename PFobject.rb to PFObject.rb, it still stays as former in the sidebar, even after Finder shows the new name.
