I would like to know if it's possible in my Sublime Text 2 editor to have the spell check facility be always turned on because by default it's off. So, every time I open a file, I always have to press the F6 key to get it back on which is, quite frankly, very annoying.
On the menu bar:
Preferences > Settings-Default > "spell_check": true

I'm analysing a package that's quite big and as I'm going down, I've selected a few lines that I deem important, every time I click on the line number, PL/SQL Developer marks the line with a blue number starting from zero as the image show. I know there's a hotkey to jump between them so that I don't have to drag the wheelbar and find them on my own. Does anyone know how to do that?
Example
You can quickly move between PL/SQL Developer bookmarks by pressing CTRL+Q and then the number of the bookmark.
If you want to change that keyboard mapping, go to Configure-->Preferences and modify the "Editor: Goto Bookmark" value.
If there's only one tab on an editor in VS Code, the default behavior is to close the editor right then and there.
Personally, and I think many others agree with me, this behavior is very annoying since the programmer would rather preserve the layout he or she created for the project's workspace.
How do I change this behavior?
I've found discussions on this topic, but all of the solutions do not seem to be the ideal one of simply leaving the editor open but empty. Most of them simply delete the related shortcuts, which seems to me like cutting your arm off just because you broke it.
Anyway, here are some useful links:
Superuser StackExchange: How to prevent VScode from closing editor when pressing ctrl+w with no tabs open?
Issue #54492: Remove CtrlCmd+W keybinding to close window when no editors are opened
The behavior of the shortcut ctrl+w is as-designed closing the application
Actually, VSCode 1.57 (May 2021) will change that:
Removed Cmd+W / Ctrl+W as keybinding to close window when no editor is opened
We have gotten feedback that users are frustrated when the window suddenly closes after having closed the last editor via rapid Cmd+W / Ctrl+W usages.
A quick poll in the team also revealed that many had the keybinding for closing a window unassigned, so we went ahead and removed Cmd+W / Ctrl+W as keybinding to close window when no editor is opened.
You can easily bring the keybinding back by configuring it as follows:
{
"key": "cmd+w", // use "ctrl+w" on windows
"command": "workbench.action.closeWindow",
"when": "!editorIsOpen && !multipleEditorGroups"
}
Note: on all platforms there is a dedicated assigned keybinding to close the window:
macOS: Cmd+Shift+W
Linux: Alt+F4
Windows: Alt+F4
If what you are looking for is to preserve empty groups as well as empty editor windows, there is an option in the preferences that gets you almost all of the way:
"workbench.editor.closeEmptyGroups": false
This has the effect that an editor group will stay open even if the last tab within it is closed.
but all of the solutions do not seem to be the ideal one of simply leaving the editor open but empty
Reddit has an answer providing you the ideal solution of leaving the editor open, but empty: close all tabs but leave editors open.
In brief, they suggest to use in rapid succession the "close all editors" and the "three column editor layout".
They suggest to create a macro like:
"macros": {
"closeAllTabs": [
"workbench.action.closeAllEditors",
"workbench.action.editorLayoutThreeColumns"
]
}
then bind it to a key combination. macrosRe is advised.
The behavior of the shortcut ctrl+w is as-designed closing the application, see #49023. It is advisable to remove the shortcut and cut the arm, since it is design to work like that. However, for version 1.43.1 a new comment was posted this year on a thread you linked. You might want to have a look at it as well.
I am working on a XML document that contains huge amounts of data. Whenever I want to make a search regarding to a specific keyword (let's assume a 4-letter-word) by typing just the first letter, the sublimetext 2 automatically stars searching thus freezes for a fair amount of time which is quite disturbing.
Is there any way for me to prevent sublimetext doing so? For example, it may wait for me till I press the "enter", or it may start searching after 3 letters are typed.
The Sublime Text find panel has a little toggle button called "Highlight matches". When this is enabled, Sublime searches instantly as you type. When it is disabled, Sublime won't search until you press Enter or click one of the Find buttons.
Here is a screenshot of ST3 showing the button:
Build 3105, Default theme:
Build 3156, Adaptive theme with orange accent:
I have installed emmet for Sublime Text 2...
And it works - kind a strange way
When I enter d it starts showing possibilities, but as soon as I press: : emmet shows completely different tip:
b (bottom)
So I need to press esc to close fuzzysearch box and press tab to allow Emmet do what it is used to do.
Dow, if I don't press esc before the tab key the resould is: d:bottom:, is I press esc, it desoults in correct: display:block.
Do you have an idea how can i fix that?
This happens because Emmet tries to respect default ST completions and due to lack of API support to properly handle built-in snippets: https://github.com/sergeche/emmet-sublime#tab-key-handler
By default, Emmet will not expand abbreviations by Tab if there’s autocomplete popup visible to allow users to work with default ST completions and snippets. You can override this behavior:
Go to Preferences > Settings — User
Add "disable_tab_abbreviations_on_auto_complete": false option. Make sure this file contains valid JSON.
After that everything should work fine, but you’ll no longer able to complete items from autocomplete popup with Tab key, use Enter key instead.
I had a similar issue but my fix was different to that of the accepted answer.
I had to go to Preferences > Settings — User and remove "emmet" from the ignored packages and everything started working again!
Need help on this one! When I used to use the 'Find in Files' feature it would display the result in a tab so I could go back to reference it later.
For some reason, one day it switched so that the results open up in a drawer at the bottom of the sublime window.
This is not ideal because it takes up window real estate.
it's aggravating to have to go and toggle the results panel every time I need to reference the results. Would be much easier if it was in a tab.
I've tried looking in all my preferences and nothing seems different so I'm lost on this one.
Found it! Turns out it is the 'Use Buffer' Button on 'Find in Files' looks like I had mistakenly hit that on a search.
