Add individual files to .sublime-project

11 years ago • updated by BadData 11 years ago • 4

I like the versatility of Sublime Text's project handling, but would REALLY love the ability to add individual files (rather than entire folders) to projects. This would come in handy, for instance, when working on Web projects that may require special apache configurations. If I could add the virtualhost.conf or php.ini file -- without adding my entire /etc or /var folders to the project, this would save a WHOLE lot of hunting for files. Thanks!

PHP syntax highlighting bug

Sven Axelsson 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 1
In this code the extends keyword is highlighted wrong:

class X
    extends Y
{}

However, when copying the syntax file from TextMate to Sublime Text everything worked correctly. Perhaps it would be good to update all the Sublime Text packages to use the latest tmLanguage files?

Lasso Support??

Out of the huge list of languages supported, I see nothing about Lasso (http://www.lassosoft.com). Is there something I'm missing??

Show Remote file path instead of local tmp path

Chris Passas 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
It would be nice if ST2 would show the remote file path when opening a file from an sftp/ftp app (Example Transmit).  In nearly every text editor this is the expected behavior.  For example BBEdit, Smultron and Textmate.

This would also resolve the problem when opening a remote file with the same name as another remote file you get a long hash added to the end of the file names.  The result is you can't tell by the file name which is which.

Automatic updates

Hay Kranen 14 years ago • updated by Jon Skinner 13 years ago • 5
On Mac OS X you need to download every new alpha release, which is a bit of a nuisance. It would make sense to use something like Sparkle, or maybe the App store to do automatic updates. For Linux and Windows i suppose there are good mechanisms too.

If this is too much work, i guess an automatic check at startup that gives the user a popup that a new version is available might be possible as well.

Highlght currently opened file in "Folders"-section

Ulrich Kautz 13 years ago • 0

It would be nice if the currently opened file could be highlighted in the "Folders"-section (as well as in the "Open Files"-section). In addition it would be awesome to have an (optional?) auto-scroll to the file withunder "Folders"-section on file tab-focus. Having larger projects with lots of sub-folders expanded this would come in quite handy..

When deleting or renaming a file in the sidebar, that file should be closed/renamed if it's currently open.

jlong64 13 years ago • updated by Lucas Jenß 12 years ago • 2
When you delete a file in the sidebar and that file is currently open, it will remain open. Similarly, if you rename an open file, it will remain open with its old name. If you save the file it will be re-created.

Macros don't seem to record searches.

Pop up boxes that ask to save should have "Save" as the default not "OK"

Benjamin Guest 13 years ago • 0

This is nit-picky I know, but go read apple's HIG, dialog boxes should have verbs for what they do, not "OK". The justification is that no one reads dialog boxes (which most people don't) but in this case if it were "SAVE" you would know immediately what the dialog box was prompting...

Sublime Text 2 icon in right click context menu

brainiac2k 14 years ago • updated by Michael Koldsgaard 12 years ago • 1
Notepad++ has an icon for the explorer context menu item. It is handy for distinguishing the menu item as an association with the editor quickly at a glance.

I think it would be nice if the explorer context menu item for opening a file in "sublime text 2" had the "sublime text 2 icon".

Implement Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D in Vintage mode

David Baumgold 13 years ago • updated by Seth Alexander Bird 12 years ago • 3

Vintage mode is amazing, but two of the commands I use most often in Vim to get around aren't implemented: Ctrl-U to scroll half a page up, and Ctrl-D to scroll half a page down. Here's the official vimdoc, so you can see what I mean:


http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_03.html#03.7


Could these scroll motions be implemented?

Support "--wait" for invocations from command line on Windows

Kai Grossjohann 13 years ago • updated by Patrick McDonald 12 years ago • 1
I would like to use Sublime Text 2 to edit my Mercurial commit messages (and patch descriptions), but invoking "sublime_text.exe --wait some_file" returns immediately instead of waiting until I have finished editing the file.

Also, it would be nice if Sublime Text could open a new window for that file.  ("open_files_in_new_window" is true by default and I haven't changed it.)

Using build 2139.

Folding of search results

Christopher Bergqvist 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 0
While in the excellent Sublime Text I sometimes miss the feature in EditPad Pro which lets you search for something and then fold the file to only display lines containing search-matches.  It's very useful when parsing massive log files and doing printf-debugging.  It's also useful to be able to copy only the matching lines and then paste them into a new buffer and search & fold again on that.

Extend/Shrink Selection support

ivanbokii 14 years ago • updated by Can Özmen 13 years ago • 4
Extend Selection feature allows you to successively select larger blocks of code.
Place the caret inside a piece of code you want to highlight;
Press Ctrl + W as many times as you need to highlight the desired block.

Open .lnk files with drag-and-drop on Windows is not opening the shortcut's target file

Joe Esposito 12 years ago • updated by Rei SHIN 5 years ago • 1

When you open .lnk files from "File", "Open File", it follows the link and opens the target file.


But when you drag and drop a .lnk file, it is opening the actual contents of the .lnk file, showing unhelpful binary data.


I have several shortcuts to Python scripts from various projects and my daily routine is to drag and drop the shortcut into an editor to edit and run it. This bug prevents that fast-paced development.

Collapse/expand selected lines, toggle functions and statements into one line

Johhnny 14 years ago • updated by James Brooks 14 years ago • 1
Please add ability to collapse selected lines into one line then expand it. It would be nice if we can toggle functions, if/else, for, foreach, while statements into one line as well.
Nice work by the way, keep it up :)

Project file contains user specific information

Paul Dennison 13 years ago • updated by Daniele Niero 12 years ago • 2
Currently the sublime text project file includes a lot of very user specific information (open buffers, search history, etc). This makes checking the project file into source control pointless, because the file changes with every usage of the editor. It would be better to put this data into a separate file, perhaps appended with the system account name or similar.

Referencing absolute paths in the project file is another issue, as you cannot even branch locally and have the project file still work. However, this issue has already been covered in http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/19438-project-file-paths-on-different-computers/.

Expand Selection to Matching Regular Expression

Shad Sharma 12 years ago • 0

Currently, you can select some text, hit Command-D and expand the selection to include other words that are the same. It would be nice if you could type a regular expression and press Command-D to expand the selection to other patterns that match the regular expression.


Right now, when you hit Command-D with a regular expression, Sublime Text reinterprets the selection as the literal value of the first found entry.
