visually connect matching brackets in gutter

jeandeluxe 12 years ago updated by aristidesfl 12 years ago 1
Hi, there are several topics on matching brackets, but - unless i missed it - i haven't seen anyone proposing this: connect the matching brackets visually with a line in the gutter.. this is _very_ helpfull if brackets span a bit more than just a few lines. Here's a screenshot of how jEdit does it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10220684/screenshots/jedit_matching_brackets_ruler.png

thx for listening,

key bindings should not be restricted to alphanumeric

iandennismiller 14 years ago updated by Jon Skinner 14 years ago 2
I would like to use a key binding that includes [ and ] but these are reported as being invalid. I tried { and } as well, but these were also invalid. Here is the key binding in question, and the console log:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+super+alt+]"], "command": "insert_time" },

Unknown key ]
Unable to parse binding {command: insert_time, keys: [ctrl+super+alt+]]}

This binding works when I change ] to an alpha key like n.

Every key resonable key should now be bindable on OS X and Linux as of build 2046

Add an option to define the default folder to open files/folders from

Tom Turton 12 years ago 0
I can only comment on the Windows version, but when I choose File > Open Folder the path seems to start in the Sublime Text 2 folder in my User Appdata folder. I don't like to store my work in this folder, so I would like to be able to define my default folder or at least for the program to remember which folder I last opened (which it does sometimes, but is not consistent).

HTML attribute auto completion

Paul Rose 12 years ago 0
Would be good to have attribute hinting and auto completion available.

I.e. when I type <div cl a hint would come up with 'class' - tab to complete with class="" - tab to complete is currently there, but doesnt add ="" or ='' (user preference maybe?)

Would also be good if youre in a style="" attribute to show CSS auto completes and hints.

ruler wrap off by one in distraction-free mode

Patrick Byrne 13 years ago updated by Sebastian Verschoor 11 years ago 1
I have an 80-column ruler set and word wrap on (I don't want it on but that's another matter). When I enter 'distraction-free mode' my lines which are exactly 80 characters long are wrapped at 79 characters - shockin!

get cursor position in desktop screen space coordinates

Benson Russell 11 years ago 0
We were looking for a way to grab the desktop screen space coordinates of the cursor in ST so we could have an external plugin library display a window near the cursor.  It would be nice to have a function that could return this :).

Handling External File Changes

Jonathan Stanton 12 years ago updated by Collin Donahue-Oponski 12 years ago 1
Right now if an external programs edits the file you are currently working on, with sublime text and then if you loose focus to the window and then gain focus it prompts you with 
"Has changed on disk.
Do you want to reload it?"

So my choice is to either, 
1) loose all of my changes
2) loose all of the other persons changes (assuming I save and overwrite their changes)

It would be great if you could have merge control accept / decline changes etc.. or at very least open the changed file in a new unsaved window so I can evaluate for myself the diff.

Output Html to web browser

Shattered_Vision 13 years ago 0
It would be nice to be able to click on a html file to be able to view it in a chosen web browser while working on html and css. I'm sure there's a way to set a macro to do this and keybind it but if maybe in the right-click context menu there was an option it would be good.

It would be useful to provide a rss at 'Sublime Forum'. It's too inconvenient to go there everyday.

Find in Files 'unable to open [file]' text is missing a newline

Ben Vanik 13 years ago updated by Vardaman Pk 8 years ago 2
If you attempt to find in files and files cannot be opened (broken symlink, permission denied, etc) a message will get logged to the results window:
'Unable to open /some/path/'
BUT it is missing its newline, so it ends up running into the file name of the next results (in this example, line 32 of /some/other/):
'Unable to open /some/path/some/other/:
  32:  some text...'
If you attempt to click on the result a new empty tab will open with the busted concatenated path /some/path/some/other/.

Output all key bindings to easy to read HTML file

Agile Apricot 14 years ago updated by Abigail11 11 years ago 4
Adobe Fireworks has a useful feature that lets you export a list of all the current keyboards to an easy-to-scan formatted html table. I know I can read all the JSON file but it would make for quicker reading in one nice formatted list.

OS X three-finger-tap "Look Up" broken

Daniel Shannon 12 years ago 0

OS X's three-finger trackpad tap to look words up behaves unexpectedly in the latest build of Sublime. It tends to pick a word several ahead of the one I've tapped, but not quite at the end of the line.

When using rulers, they are displayed in the bottom console too. I don't think that should be the case.

Shouldn't open a new window when restarting on Lion

Ross Smith 13 years ago updated by Felipe Cypriano 13 years ago 1
When I restart a Mac, with Lion's "re-open apps on restart" behavior, ST2 always opens a new window with a blank document when the system starts, even if there was no ST2 window open before.

Show line terminators

Arne Hormann 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
I sometimes have to work with files where both "\r\n" and "\n" are used and have different semantics (e.g. a datafeed containing market data where they are used as record and field group separator. I don't know who's brilliant idea that was...). I also need this feature to debug generated MIME-Emails, where e.g. Outlook and Thunderbird are very sensitive to which line terminators are used in header and body text. HTTP-requests or responses are another scenario where this could be useful.
For now, I have to switch back to Notepad++ whenever I encounter one of these files. I'd really love to only use Sublimetext.
