Why is there no optional toolbar? (one similar to scite, eg. buttons for Build, Quicksave, Printing, etc..)

In most languages, it is hard enough to properly escape strings as it is. It rarely helps for a text editor to insert extra quotes. 

If I place my cursor at the end of this string and tap a single quote:

"did he fire six shots\"or'only five'\""

...it is aggravating to suddenly see:

"did he fire six shots\"or'only five'\""''

It is a severe enough issue that I often edit complex strings outside of Sublime, because this "help" of throwing in single or double-quotes just means "now I have two problems" When you're starting at a line with a dozen quotation marks it's not so easy to discern whether Sublime added one of them.

To be clear, I'm not referring to the behaviour where start and end quotes are added to currently selected text - *that* feature makes much more sense than deleting the selected string. What does not make sense is to add two quotes to the *end of a line* when I only typed one - that has helped me exactly *never* times.

Like a doctor, Sublime should "do no evil" and quietly slipping in a quotation mark when I'm not looking just makes my code buggy. It's frustrating behaviour for an otherwise excellently designed program :)

 It would be great to have such a feature, specially if it could be presented to us from a pretty popup window or something else (like in many textmate bundles), at least for the most used languages used by text editor's fans (python, ruby, c, perl, php ...)

I have a Chromebook Pixel that I'd like to use for development.  I'm interested in trying Sublime, but don't want to futz with a separate window manager.  Instead,  I'd like to have Sublime open in its own fullscreen X-window session. I can do everything else in ChromeOS.

I tried:

    exec subl

in ~/.xinitrc, which almost worked, except the window was the wrong size.  It looked like it was only taking up the first 640x480 of my display.  (Sorry I can't provide more accurate measurements.)

Is there a command line option to tell Sublime how big to draw itself?  I know this sounds like an obscure use case, but non of the Linux window managers look very good at high resolution, and the only thing I even need a separate Linux environment for is running Sublime.

I thing that the seach indication in the scrollbar of Crome is great feature.

It will be nice to see it in ST2. 

For example after Ctrl+D, Alt+F3, it will be nice to know where are my multiple selection positions. 

Thanks for the great editor by the way ;)

Easily turned on and off from the menu.
This option, when `unlocked`, will open a file (from outside the editor, eg. explorer, cmd.., double LMB or RMB->Open with...) in last focused ST window. When `locked`, new window will open for next* file.

*next or each: The newly opened window will not be locked. Or the option can be global, meaning every file will be opened in new windows.

Drag and drop will still open a file in the desired window.

This is usefull when some plain text files (*.txt, *.rtf, *.md,..) are registered to ST and you want to open them temporarily while developing your project, but you don't want them to switch view from current working file.

Whilst the ST2 multiple cursors feature is excellent in it's own right, (and indeed superior in many respects) I still find myself missing the 'feel' of the rectangular selection tool that I used to use (frequently) in Textpad back when I used a Win32 development machine.

When I started using ST2, I was not sure if I was simply not used to multiple cursors, but I have been using ST2 for over 6 months now, and I still miss the old rectangular selection mode, so I have now come to the conclusion that it actually offers something that multiple cursors do not.

I do love multiple cursors; but a rectangular selection mode a-la-Textpad would be a welcome addition.

(I used it to help edit and vertically align code, parameter blocks, and CSV data files).

 with some names that contain, let's say 'sub', the mathcing is less robust, this is a minor thing but nonetheless

To reproduce:

- Open a CSS file with @media{} queries

- Hold cmd and tap R to invoke the in-file fuzzy finder

OR

- Hold cmd and tap T, then type @

- Attempt to find a media query by typing "media"

Expected result:

A list of available media queries to jump to

Actual result:

An empty list (or a list of rules which happen to contain "media")

Currently if I have a large code. I'm separating it by comments and indentations to fold them later.

For example:

// Views

... some views code here ...

// Models

... some models here

Would be better if there would be some codes for folding, to avoid indentation at some point of hierarchy.

For example:

// Views fold_start_1

... some views code here without indentation at all ...

// fold_end_1

Now you can fold all the code between fold_start_1 and fold_end_1.

Ofc folding codes could be shorter, it's just as an example

I have been programming in Tcl for Alpha on Macs for many years.  It had very complete API, similar to the ST2 one.  TextMate came with this very short API based only in environmental variables, but with those genial ideas. In that case the programming language was totally free, since TM is based in external scripting.  And now ST2.  It obliges you to script in Python.  I didn't know Python, although read a lot about and programmed a bit on it.  But each time I dig into the ST2 API to program on Python… I miss Ruby so much!  Please, try Ruby!  Give it an opportunity.
