So I have a text for example "this is sample text" and I want it to become this "<![CDATA[this is sample text]]>"
I want to work this function like this: I select any text and use hotkey like ctrl+t or so.
I use Sublime Text 3.
How can I do this for the selection of text?
You can create a new keybinding to use the insert_snippet command to wrap your selection. (Preferences menu -> Keybindings)
{ "keys": ["ctrl+t"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": {"contents": "<![CDATA[${0:$SELECTION}]]>"}, "context":
[
{ "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": false, "match_all": true },
]
},

I'm trying to get "TAB" to exit parenthesis, quotes, etc. but only when it is NOT the only character on the line. If | represents the cursor:
Exit here:
function(e|) {}
But not here:
function() {
return;
|}
To do so I'm trying to set the context to check for that condition without any success. Here is what I have so far:
{ "keys": ["tab"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "characters", "forward": true}, "context":
[
{ "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^[)'}\"\\]]", "match_all": true },
{ "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "not_regex_match", "operand": "\\n", "match_all":true },
{ "key": "auto_complete_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false }
]
}
The second line of the context is what I can't get right. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Michael
Since you want to match until the line start you should use ^. The regex match is only per line, hence you can use ^ for the begin and $ for the end of the line.
Change it to ^\\s* if you also want to disable it for lines with indent, e.g. to press the tab multiple times to indent the bracket.
(Google turns up this http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14005 but that answer isn't satisfactory to me)
In Sublime Text 2, when you hit tab:
If you have nothing selected it will add a tab (or spaces) at your cursor location. This is good.
If you have multiple lines selected it will indent them all. This is good.
If you have a selection within a single line it will replace this text with a tab. This isn't BAD exactly, but it's not what I want. I'd rather it indents that line, as with multiple lines selected.
I'd think the way to do this would be to create a keyboard shortcut that activates if you have text selected when you hit tab, that "command": "indent"s, but I can't figure out how to say "if you have text selected". The keymap documentation seems to be somewhere between impenetrable and nonexistent....
Does anyone know how to get Sublime Text 2 to do what I want?
It's worth noting that if you select text that doesn't include a newline with multiple cursors it replaces the text with a tab.
With that in mind, putting this in my keymap does what I want:
{ "keys": ["tab"], "command": "indent", "context":
[
{ "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": false, "match_all": true }
]
}
Thank you ! It works fine. Additionaly, you should want the same principle for unindent (shift+tab) :
{ "keys": ["shift+tab"], "command": "unindent", "context":
[
{ "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": false, "match_all": true }
]
}
In the Default (OSX).sublime-keymap file, I see:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+space"], "command": "auto_complete" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+space"], "command": "replace_completion_with_auto_complete", "context":
[
{ "key": "last_command", "operator": "equal", "operand": "insert_best_completion" },
{ "key": "auto_complete_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false },
{ "key": "setting.tab_completion", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }
]
},
But I'd like it to function more like Eclipse, where methods available get popped up after hitting . and waiting for a split second. Is this possible?
Keep in mind that Sublime Text is not an IDE. As such, Eclipse like completion (where it only brings up methods that you can call for the particular variable) is not built in. You may try something like SublimeJava for completions more like Eclipse. I have used it a bit, with mixed results. It did not work as well as Eclipse, but for what I was doing, it was acceptable. To bring up your current set of completions (from within the file by default) when you press ".", you may add the following to your User Preferences (accessible through Preferences -> Settings - User).
"auto_complete_triggers": [{"selector": "source.java", "characters": "."}]
This will cause the auto complete pop up to be displayed when ever you enter . in java files.
I'm trying to mapp jj to escape. I'm getting an error below. Fix?
I think you should place your configuration code in Default (OS).sublime-keymap, not in Preferences.sublime-settings.
You can find it in Sublime Text 2/Preferences/Key Bindings - User menu.
Open Sublime Text Keybindings Settings Default (Windows).sublime-keymap
Go to Preferences -> Key Bindings - User.
Inside your Default (OS).sublime-keymap file, add your remap..
[
{ "keys": ["j", "j"], "command": "exit_insert_mode",
"context":
[
{ "key": "setting.command_mode", "operand": false },
{ "key": "setting.is_widget", "operand": false }
]
}
]
In Sublimt Text 2, when I use the build system (make) to run tests, the output is displayed in the build output pane.
However, if I press escape to close the output pane (e.g. to make a fix), I can't find a way to redisplay the output pane to see what else was borked. Have tried to create a custom keybinding to execute show_panel "output", but can't get it working.
Meep?
The menu shortcut is under Tools -> Build Results -> Show Build Results.
I wish this was under the View menu like all the rest of view options...
As you can see in Packages/Default/Main.sublime-menu the command for "Show build results" is this:
{
"command": "show_panel",
"args": {
"panel": "output.exec"
},
"caption": "Show Build Results",
"mnemonic": "S"
},
so a custom key binding could be this:
{
"keys": ["ctrl+alt+super+r"],
"command": "show_panel",
"args": {
"panel": "output.exec"
}
}
And the key binding to hide the panel:
{
"keys": ["ctrl+shift+2"],
"command": "hide_panel",
"args": {
"panel": "output.exec"
}
},
Building on akirk's answer you can make it toggle the build results panel by copying some of the syntax used for the escape shortcuts.
Adding the following lines to the user key bindings will do part of the trick. As reported by some of the previous answers the hide_panel command will hide any panel, and pressing it a second time will reveal build_results.
{
"keys": ["alt+b"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "output.exec"},"context":
[
{ "key": "panel_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false }
]
},
{
"keys": ["alt+b"], "command": "hide_panel", "args": {"panel": "output.exec"},"context":
[
{ "key": "panel_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }
]
},
