Is it possible to configure the AutoFileName plugin for Sublime Text 2 to recognize TypeScript reference path attributes and allow auto-completion for other .ts files in my project?
For example, if I had a file structure like:
scripts
models
MyModel.ts
services
MyService.ts
Then in MyService.ts, I would want the path attribute in the reference tag to allow auto-completion of ../models/MyModel.ts
/// <reference path="../models/MyModel.ts" />
I was hoping to be able to do this using the "auto_complete_triggers" setting in my user/preferences.sublime-settings file, but really have no idea how to do so.
This is a syntax (tmLanguage) issue
AutoFileName must recognize a string pattern inside the comment line for it to work.
I use ArcticTypescript and have just made a pull request to fix this tmLanguage issue. Edit: It is merged now.
If you use another package for syntax highlighting like better-typescript please open an issue to correct the syntax definition.
Open Preferences -> Package Settings -> AutoFileName -> Settings-Default and copy the entire contents to a new file (you can set the syntax to JSON if you prefer), then close the Default file (you never want to make changes to the default settings for any plugin, always use the User settings in case you mess something up and need to revert). Modify the "afn_valid_scopes" setting to include "ts", and you should be all set. Save the file as Packages/User/autofilename.sublime-settings where Packages is the folder opened when selecting Preferences -> Browse Packages....
If you used the following setting in your Sublime user preferences:
"auto_complete_triggers":
[
{
"characters": "/",
"selector": "string.quoted.double.html,string.quoted.single.html, source.css"
}
]
then add a comma , after source.css then add string source.ts and save.

I want to configure my Sublime Text 2 to have two different types of indentations:
4 spaces for general use
2 spaces for my html pages
I think it should be done by editing the settings, but I don't know what to write.
The key setting is "tab_size". By default, if you look at Preferences -> Settings-Default, it is
"tab_size": 4
The items in this file should absolutely not be modified. Instead, copy anything you want to change to the file opened by Preferences -> Settings-User, and alter the values there. It is saved as Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings where Packages is the folder opened by selecting Preferences -> Browse Packages....
If you would like to have specific settings for certain syntaxes, open a new file in Sublime with JSON syntax. Like any other Sublime preferences file, open and close it with curly braces { }. Put your desired settings in it, one per line, each followed by a comma , except the last entry (basically, it should be valid JSON, except JavaScript comments are also allowed).
{
"tab_size": 2,
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
}
Finally, save it in your Packages/User folder as Syntax Name.sublime-settings - in your case, it should be HTML.sublime-settings. These settings should now be applied to any newly-opened or newly-created HTML files.
I have a bunch of source files written in different languages, and I would like to strip all comments from the source files.
While writing regex is certainly an option, depending on the input files, I may have to handle cases where the character to denote comment appears inside string literals. There is also the need to maintain a list of regex for different languages.
The syntax highlighting seems to do quite a good job at highlighting the comments, but there doesn't seem to be any command to remove all comments in the Command Palette.
Is there any way to leverage the syntax highlighting feature in SublimeText to remove all comments from source files in different languages?
Based on nhahtdh's answer, the following plugin should work for both Sublime Text 2 and 3
import sublime_plugin
class RemoveCommentsCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
comments = self.view.find_by_selector('comment')
for region in reversed(comments):
self.view.erase(edit, region)
Create a new file with Python syntax, and paste the code above into it. Save the file in your Packages/User directory (accessible via Preferences -> Browse Packages...) as remove_comments.py. You can now either run the plugin via the console, or bind a key combination to it. To run via the console, just type
view.run_command('remove_comments')
in the console, and all the comments in the current view will be deleted.
To bind a key combination, open Preferences -> Key Bindings-User and add the following (surround it with square brackets [] if the file is empty):
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+r"], "command": "remove_comments" }
Save the file, and you can now hit CtrlAltShiftR (or whatever key combination you choose) and all comments in the current file will be deleted.
Assumption
We will make use of the syntax highlighting rules in Sublime Text to remove all comments, so the method below works only if the syntax highlighting works correctly for the language of your source file.
For most languages, the syntax highlighting rules do quite a good job at recognizing the comments. However, it would be best if you take another look at your files to see if there is any anomaly in syntax highlighting.
The current method only works for Sublime Text 2.
Solution
Open the Console via View > Show Console or the key combination Ctrl+`
Copy and paste the following commands line by line:
e = view.begin_edit()
len([view.erase(e, r) for r in reversed(view.find_by_selector('comment'))])
view.end_edit(e)
After the last command, the edit will be applied and all comments will be removed.
I have an option trim_trailing_white_space_on_save turned on. And for some files I should prevent removing trailing white spaces, because they are important.
How to remove this behaviour for some files, e.g. *.dat?
Have you already tried to create a configuration file for that specific extension and put trim_trailing_white_space_on_save = false ?
Settings Files
Settings files are consulted in this order:
Packages/Default/Preferences.sublime-settings
Packages/Default/Preferences (< platform >).sublime-settings
Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings
< Project Settings >
Packages/< syntax >/< syntax >.sublime-settings
Packages/User/.sublime-settings
< Buffer Specific Settings >
In general, you should place your settings in Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings.
If you want to specify settings for a certain file type, for example, Python, you should place them in Packages/User/Python.sublime-settings.
http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/settings.html
In Sublime 3, just open any file with the extension you'd like to have specific settings for, and go to Preferences > Settings - Syntax Specific.
In my case I did it for Markdown (.md) and Sublime created a Markdown.sublime-settings file in which I added the following:
"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": false,
In your case, for a .dat file, Sublime will create a Plain text.sulbime-settings file in which you can add the exact same setting.
I was looking around and the questions and answers did not seem to match what I am looking for. Anytime I open a new file it defaults to a plan text file. I mostly work with HTML files so I was wondering if there is a setting that would be changed so that when I open a new file it will default to HTML? Hope this is possible.

Create a new plugin Tools > Developer > New Plugin...
Paste this in:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class EverythingIsPowerShell(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_new(self, view):
view.set_syntax_file('Packages/PowerShell/Support/PowershellSyntax.tmLanguage')
Save and call it NewTabSyntax.py. New tabs will now default to Powershell.
You can change the syntax to whatever you prefer. To find out the "path" of a particular syntax, simply open a file of that syntax, open the console (View > Show Console) and type:
view.settings().get('syntax')
pls install Package sublime-DefaultFileType https://github.com/spadgos/sublime-DefaultFileType
which will automatically sets the syntax for new files.
It is possible with the ApplySyntax Plugin. Once it is installed (e.g. via PackageControl), you can set the ApplySyntax User Settings like that:
"new_file_syntax": "HTML",
Now if you open a new file, your default syntax will be HTML. Of course you can set every Syntax you have installed.
How do I set a default filetype for a certain file extension in Sublime Text 2? Specifically I want to have *.cfg files default to having Ini syntax highlighting but I cannot seem to figure out how I could create this custom setting.
In the current version of Sublime Text 2 (Build: 2139), you can set the syntax for all files of a certain file extension using an option in the menu bar. Open a file with the extension you want to set a default for and navigate through the following menus: View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as... ->[your syntax choice].
Updated 2012-06-28: Recent builds of Sublime Text 2 (at least since Build 2181) have allowed the syntax to be set by clicking the current syntax type in the lower right corner of the window. This will open the syntax selection menu with the option to Open all with current extension as... at the top of the menu.
Updated 2016-04-19: As of now, this also works for Sublime Text 3.
Go to a Packages/User, create (or edit) a .sublime-settings file named after the Syntax where you want to add the extensions, Ini.sublime-settings in your case, then write there something like this:
{
"extensions":["cfg"]
}
And then restart Sublime Text
In ST2 there's a package you can install called Default FileType which does just that.
More info here.
You can turn on syntax highlighting based on the contents of the file.
For example, my Makefiles regardless of their extension the first line as follows:
#-*-Makefile-*- vim:syntax=make
This is typical practice for other editors such as vim.
However, for this to work you need to modify the
Makefile.tmLanguage file.
Find the file (for Sublime Text 3 in Ubuntu) at:
/opt/sublime_text/Packages/Makefile.sublime-package
Note, that is really a zip file. Copy it, rename with .zip at the end, and extract the Makefile.tmLanguage file from it.
Edit the new Makefile.tmLanguage by adding the "firstLineMatch" key and string after the "fileTypes" section. In the example below, the last two lines are new (should be added by you). The <string> section holds the regular expression, that will enable syntax highlighting for the files that match the first line. This expression recognizes two patterns: "-*-Makefile-*-" and "vim:syntax=make".
...
<key>fileTypes</key>
<array>
<string>GNUmakefile</string>
<string>makefile</string>
<string>Makefile</string>
<string>OCamlMakefile</string>
<string>make</string>
</array>
<key>firstLineMatch</key>
<string>^#\s*-\*-Makefile-\*-|^#.*\s*vim:syntax=make</string>
Place the modified Makefile.tmLanguage in the User settings directory:
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/Makefile.tmLanguage
All the files matching the first line rule should turn the syntax highlighting on when opened.
The best solution for me turned out to be to used the ApplySyntax package.
The steps are as follows:
Install the package via Package Control
CTRL + SHIFT + P and enter ApplySyntax: Browse Syntaxes. Find your desired syntax here and note the exact line shown, e.g. I was looking to set it to Markdown from the Markdown Editing package, so for me the line was MarkdownEditing/syntaxes/Markdown.
CTRL + SHIFT + P and enter ApplySyntax: Settings.
On line "new_file_syntax": "XYZ", enter the line from Step 2.
See here for further documentation.
I found this to work better than the DefaultFileType package, because it isn't limited to just new files created by pressing CTRL + N and captured new tabs opened by clicking the empty space to the right of an open tab.
I hope is useful to someone 11 years after the original question was asked. 😅
