I have this Recent files popup:
I can open any file from it by pressing ENTER. Is there any way to open the file in a split view? I have tab limit set to 1, so opening a file from Recent files and then opening it in a split view replaces the currently open file. I'd like to open a file in a split view without replacing the current tab. Maybe key mapping somehow?
Unfortunately not (as far as my knowledge goes).
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-108556 -- watch this and related tickets (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
The only other possible options (generally speaking):
Shift + Enter to open it in a new/detached editor.
Open as usual and then use Move Down or Move Right to move it in that split group (will create if you do not have one). But this will NOT work if you set to have only 1 editor tab max.
Open as usual, clone it to bottom/right side (so it opens in both splitters) and then re-open recently closed file in one of the split areas again (yeah .. long and inconvenient).
Move focus to another splitter before invoking Recent Files (if you have no such splitter yet -- create one for current file). Now chose file as usual -- it will replace file in current splitter (inconvenient as you need to think about correct location in advance instead of quickly opening the needed file).

I have a folder that I want Sublime to always open to ...
my_folder
Is there somewhere I can set this so that when ever I click on the Sublime Icon it opens to this folder?
For some reason if I manually quit sublime text through the menu it will open my last folder on re-opening.
However, if I just click the close X button, it will not ... it will open a blank window.
Is there somewhere I can set this correctly in the JSON file?
Well not sure if you are aware of it, but ST has a quick switch project (usually ctrl+alt+p) that will show you your recently opened projects.
Of course it has its own drawbacks:
Unable to remove one instance from it without removing all (clear recent projects cache)Can’t open the project in a new window… instead it only replaces the current project
But AFAIK this would be the most optimal way to work with multiple projects. you just need to go to the folder of the desired project and open it once and it will be available as recent project in the future…
The point of having to choose where to save the project file, IMO is because you may want to share the same file with other people or just have them wherever you want… maybe having all in one place is good for you (it is for me as well) but other people might like to have it in separate folders.
I usually work with the project replace window… or just go in “Project -> Open recent -> …” which opens a new ST window for me!
Hope this helps you
I just encountered an issue with a Labview project.
Background
The software in question is usually a standalone application, but for the sake of debugging purposes we found a way to run it in the Labview environment with the source files.
Issue
When we press the run command (which is not broken btw), it starts processing the files I guess, and at some point a folder explorer will pop up without further detail on what it is requesting. We have been trying to select the MAIN folder (where the MAIN.VI is), the SOURCE folder which contains all the VIs and subVIs of the project, but either way it just updates a log tab with the text "The application has stopped"(which I assume is due to us not selecting the correct file/folder).
I guess my main questions are,
Is there a way to tell what this pop up is expecting us to select?
Are there known function blocks which could be asking for a file/folder path?
Additional information*
A couple of months ago, someone knew this path and we have run it correctly, but he just forgot it, so that is why I am certain that it works this way. It runs in a Labview 13 environment.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Greetings.
Try searching the VI Hierarchy by name for likely culprits:
Open a VI or project and select View»VI Hierarchy to display the VI
Hierarchy window.
Initiate a search by typing the name of the item
you want to find anywhere in the window. As you type the text, the
search string appears, displaying the text as you type. LabVIEW
highlights one item at a time whose name begins with the search
string.
If there is more than one item with a name that begins with
the search string, press the Enter key to search for the next item
that matches the search string. Press the Shift-Enter keys to find
the previous item that matches the search string.
I'm pretty sure all the LabVIEW primitives that can display a file or folder dialog have either file or folder in their names but if that doesn't help you could also try save or write.
If you find more than one result, set breakpoints on them before running the code. When execution reaches the breakpoint it will halt and highlight the breakpoint position; you can then use the Step In / Step Over to check whether that's the node that triggers the dialog (and the Pause button to continue execution if not).
I use sublimetext3 to program C++.
I use multiple window splits with multiple files open.
Sometimes I use alt+o hotkey / switch_file command to open the associated header/source file.
If I hit switch_file command and the matching header/source is already open in the same sub window split, it will jump to that tab instead of reopening the file.
But if I have a header open in one sub window split, and the source open in another sub window split, and I do switch_file command, it will open another copy of the file in the currently focused window.
Is there a way that I can set it to jump to the file even if it needs to focus another window split?
Thanks
I think the easiest way to establish this is to change the switch_file command.
Install PackageResourceViewer and type PackageResourceViewer: Open Resource, select Default and then open switch_file.
In line 41 just change
self.window.open_file(new_path, flags = sublime.FORCE_GROUP)
to
self.window.open_file(new_path)
and save the file. This will not overwrite the existing file (which is in a zip folder), but create a file, which shadows the original file.
Is there a way to quickly open files in sublime text2?
At the moment I open files like this.
I open my terminal and enter
subl source/myproj/myfile.rs
Can I do this inside of sublime text2/3?
Also when I want to create a new file in source/myproj/ I usally press ctrl + n to create a new window and then I hit ctrl + s to save and name the file. The problem is when I hit ctrl + s my file system dialog opens and I have to use my mouse.
I think I saw someone using vim and he just could say source/myproj/mynewfile.rs and then the file would be created.
Is this possible in sublime text 2/3?
To quickly open a file in your current project, you can hit Ctrl+P and start writing the filename. This will sort through the files in your project and give you a little list, most likely the one you are looking for is pre selected, but if not, it is somewhere near the topmost options to select from, use arrow key down and highlight it, press enter and you just opened that file.
Another option to quickly create a file is using the AdvancedNewFile plugin.
When you hit Ctrl+n, it asks near the bottom of the window for a path and filename, once you enter it, it opens the new tab with the file already created, not an untitled file to later use system dialog to save to disk.
Is there a plugin or a macro, that creates a tar ball or a zip of all opened files / tabs in Sublime Text 2.
If not, how to make a plugin that does that?
I was checking the API of Sublime Text 2, only to know that there is no method that gets the full path of all open files.
However, I see that we have an option when we right click in any file - "Copy file path".
Which method it calls? Can I replicate the method to all tabs switching one by one? If yes, then how to cycle through open tabs one by one using the API?
You can use window#views to get all the views (as a list). Then iterate on each view and use view#file_name to get the files. As for creating zips, take a look at the zipfile library.
For your particular case, I would create a window command. You can then bind that to a key combination or add it as a command palette entry. Finally, to set the visible view, you can use window#focus_view. You may also need window#focus_group if you have multiple groups.
