I'm using Sublime Text 3 as text editor. I have seen some training videos where the instructor is pulling automatically the namespaces at the top lines of the .php file without typing. As far as I know this is a built-in feature in phpstorm, but I was wondering whehter this is available and for Sublime too?
I assume this can be done probably by a key shortcut or by installing a package? Anyone who knows how to do this?
If you use first use Package Control to install 'PHP Companion' (aka SublimePHPCompanion), you can add the keyboard shortcuts to do this.
1) Package Control: Install Package > PHP Companion
2) Menu: Sublime Text> Preferences > Key Bindings
3) Add the following lines (change f9/f10 if you want to use different keys)
{ "keys": ["f9"], "command": "expand_fqcn" },
{ "keys": ["f10"], "command": "find_use" }
Then you can use F9 to add the full path when typing a use command. If adding elsewhere in your code, F10 will add the full use statement at the top of the file for you.
There are other things you can add and more details at PHP Companion
My default key-bindings for pasting are
{ "keys": ["ctrl+v"], "command": "paste" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+v"], "command": "paste_and_indent" },
I overrode them in my user key-bindings with
{ "keys": ["alt+k"], "command": "paste" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k"], "command": "paste_and_indent" },
I use Dvorak keyboard, which means your V is my K. Also, I want paste_and_indent to be the default.
But Ctrl+k executes paste, not paste_and_indent. I determined this by turning on command logging in the console, with
sublime.log_commands(True)
However, if I make the paste_and_indent command to something else, like Ctrl+Alt+k or Alt+k, it correctly calls paste_and_indent.
I looked through the key-bindings for all of my installed packages, and don't see any other command using Ctrl+k. I also disabled most of my packages except syntaxes. I even accidentally disabled Package Control, but still, Ctrl+k only executes paste.
How can I determine and fix this conflict, so Ctrl+k executes paste_and_indent?
Check out the FindKeyConflicts plugin. There are several options for looking at all key bindings, or just conflicting ones, in a variety of contexts. All the options are available via the Command Palette.
I've followed several tuts and SO advice but Sublime Text User bindings are not working as follows:
[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+u"], "command": "upperCase" }
]
I have removed the possible conflicting
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+u"], "command": "soft_redo" },
From default keybindings... Can anyone help me get custom keybindings to work? Also "command": "upperCase" is that just a command built into ST? Where can I find a comprehensive list of such commands?
To determine the name of the command to use in a keybinding, first open the console with Ctrl` (backtick) or by selecting View -> Show Console. Enter the following command:
sublime.log_commands(True)
and hit Enter. With the console still open, select the option you want from the menu (in this case Edit -> Convert Case -> Upper Case). The following will then appear in the console:
command: upper_case
You can now use this command in your key binding.
When you're done, enter
sublime.log_commands(False)
in the console to stop logging, then close the console by hitting Ctrl` or Esc.
If you want to find out what commands the different key bindings and menu options fire, and you don't want to use the method above, take a look at the default key bindings list (Preferences -> Key Bindings-Default) and/or the file Packages/Default/Main.sublime-menu where Packages is the folder opened when you select Preferences -> Browse Packages....
At the moment, I am trying out sublime text. Most of it is fine, but there is one big feature that I can't figure out how to implement in sublime text. In vim, have have space bound to repeat the last macro that I performed. However, I can't find a good way to implement it in sublime text.
In an effort to learn more, I looked at the macro key bindings in the vintage package:
{ "keys": ["q"], "command": "vi_end_record_macro",
"context": [{"key": "setting.command_mode"}, {"key": "is_recording_macro"}]
},
{ "keys": ["#", "<character>"], "command": "vi_replay_macro",
"context": [{"key": "setting.command_mode"}]
},
And (what I think) is the relevant class in the actual plugin:
class ViReplayMacro(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit, character):
What I am unable to figure out is how to remember what the last command was, and failing that just have space call the vi macro recorded on 'q'. This means I need to bind vi_replay_macro(q) to space, but I don't understand how the key binding passes which character to replay to the command.
EDIT: I created a plugin that does it.
You would probably have to write your own plugin to run the last macro run. You can try using the command_history method, then search backwards till you find a vi_replay_macro or run_macro command. I'm just making a guess though based on what I know about ST, so there could be other ways to go about it.
I do web development and am trying out Sublime Text 2. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the current file in specified browser (e.g. Chrome)?
Any help to get setup in Sublime Text for web development is appreciated!
I'm not really sure this question is approprate here, but you can add a new "Build System" under Tools -> Build System -> New Build System...
As with all configuration in Sublime Text its just JSON, so it should be pretty straight forward. The main thing you are going to want to configure is the "cmd" key/val. Here is the build config for launching chrome on my mac.
{
"cmd": ["open", "-a", "Google Chrome", "$file"]
}
Save that as Chrome.sublime-build, relaunch Sublime Text and you should see a new Chrome option in the build list. Select it, and then you should be able to launch Chrome with Cmd+B on a Mac (or whatever hotkey you have configured for build, maybe its F7 or Ctrl+B on a Windows machine)
At least this should give you a push in the right direction.
Edit:
Another thing I end up doing a lot in Sublime Text 2 is if you right click inside a document, one of the items in the context menu is Copy File Path, which puts the current file's full path into the clipboard for easy pasting into whatever browser you want.
Sublime Text 3
(linux example)
"shell_cmd": "google-chrome '$file'"
"Open in Browser context menu for HTML files" has been added in the latest build (2207). Its release date was 25 June 2012.
Windows7 FireFox/Chrome:
{
"cmd":["F:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe","$file"]
}
just use your own path of firefox.exe or chrome.exe to replace mine.
Replace firefox.exe or chrome.exe with your own path.
This worked on Sublime 3:
To browse html files with default app by Alt+L hotkey:
Add this line to Preferences -> Key Bindings - User opening file:
{ "keys": ["alt+l"], "command": "open_in_browser"}
To browse or open with external app like chrome:
Add this line to Tools -> Build System -> New Build System... opening file, and save with name "OpenWithChrome.sublime-build"
"shell_cmd": "C:\\PROGRA~1\\Google\\Chrome\\APPLIC~1\\chrome.exe $file"
Then you can browse/open the file by selecting Tools -> Build System -> OpenWithChrome and pressing F7 or Ctrl+B key.
Install the View In Browser plugin using Package Control or download package from github and unzip this package in your packages folder(that from browse packages)
after this, go to Preferences, Key Bindings - User, paste this
[{ "keys": [ "f12" ], "command": "view_in_browser" }]
now F12 will be your shortcut key.
You can install SideBarEnhancements plugin, which among other things will give you ability to open file in browser just by clicking F12.
To open exactly in Chrome, you will need to fix up “Side Bar.sublime-settings” file and set "default_browser" to be "chrome".
I also recommend to learn this video tutorial on Sublime Text 2.
On windows launching default browser with a predefined url:
Tools > Build System > New Build System:
{
"cmd": ["cmd","/K","start http://localhost/projects/Reminder/"]
}
ctrl + B and voila!
There seem to be a lot of solutions for Windows here but this is the simplest:
Tools -> Build System -> New Build System, type in the above, save as Browser.sublime-build:
{
"cmd": "explorer $file"
}
Then go back to your HTML file. Tools -> Build System -> Browser. Then press CTRL-B and the file will be opened in whatever browser is your system default browser.
Here is another solution if you want to include different browsers in on file.
If you and Mac user, from sublime menu go to, Tools > New Plugin. Delete the generated code and past the following:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
import webbrowser
class OpenBrowserCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self,edit,keyPressed):
url = self.view.file_name()
if keyPressed == "1":
navegator = webbrowser.get("open -a /Applications/Firefox.app %s")
if keyPressed == "2":
navegator = webbrowser.get("open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app %s")
if keyPressed == "3":
navegator = webbrowser.get("open -a /Applications/Safari.app %s")
navegator.open_new(url)
Save.
Then open up User Keybindings. (Tools > Command Palette > "User Key bindings"), and add this somewhere to the list:
{ "keys": ["alt+1"], "command": "open_browser", "args": {"keyPressed": "1"}},
{ "keys": ["alt+2"], "command": "open_browser", "args": {"keyPressed": "2"}},
{ "keys": ["alt+3"], "command": "open_browser", "args": {"keyPressed": "3"}}
Now open any html file in Sublime and use one of the keybindings, which it would open that file in your favourite browser.
On mac and sublime text 3 , which version is 3103, the content should be
{
"shell_cmd": "open -a 'Google Chrome' '$file'"
}
Tools -> Build System -> New Build System. The type following as your OS, save as Chrome.sublime-build
Windows OS
{
"cmd": ["C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe", "$file"]
}
MAC Os
{
"cmd": ["open", "-a", "/Applications/Google Chrome.app", "$file"]
}
Save the file - Chrome.sublime-build in location
C:\Users\xnivirro\Downloads\Software-Installed\Sublime-2\Data\Packages\User
Sublime View in Browswer - https://github.com/adampresley/sublime-view-in-browser (Tried with Linux and it works)
egyamado's answer was really helpful! You can enhance it for your particular setup with something like this:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
import webbrowser
class OpenBrowserCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit, keyPressed, localHost, pathToFiles):
for region in self.view.sel():
if not region.empty():
# Get the selected text
url = self.view.substr(region)
# prepend beginning of local host url
url = localHost + url
else:
# prepend beginning of local host url
url = localHost + self.view.file_name()
# replace local path to file
url = url.replace(pathToFiles, "")
if keyPressed == "1":
navigator = webbrowser.get("open -a /Applications/Firefox.app %s")
if keyPressed == "2":
navigator = webbrowser.get("open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app %s")
if keyPressed == "3":
navigator = webbrowser.get("open -a /Applications/Safari.app %s")
navigator.open_new(url)
And then in your keybindings:
{ "keys": ["alt+1"], "command": "open_browser", "args": {"keyPressed": "1", "localHost": "http://nbrown.smartdestinations.com", "pathToFiles":"/opt/local/apache2/htdocs"}},
{ "keys": ["alt+2"], "command": "open_browser", "args": {"keyPressed": "2", "localHost": "http://nbrown.smartdestinations.com", "pathToFiles":"/opt/local/apache2/htdocs"}},
{ "keys": ["alt+3"], "command": "open_browser", "args": {"keyPressed": "3", "localHost": "http://nbrown.smartdestinations.com", "pathToFiles":"/opt/local/apache2/htdocs"}}
We store sample urls at the top of all our templates, so the first part allows you to highlight that sample URL and launch it in a browser. If no text is highlighted, it will simply use the file name. You can adjust the command calls in the keybindings to your localhost url and the system path to the documents you're working on.
I have similar situation like you. I dont wannt sublime open editor for binary like jpg png files. Instead open system default application is more reasonable.
create one Build. Just like the accepted answer. But it will both open default application and hex editor.
Pulgin OpenDefaultApplication https://github.com/SublimeText/OpenDefaultApplication
It will have context right click menu OpenInDefaultApplication. But It will both open default application and hex editor as well
Pulgin: Non Text Files https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Non%20Text%20Files Add config in the user settting
"binary_file_patterns": ["*.JPG","*.jpg", "*.jpeg", "*.png", "*.gif", "*.ttf", "*.tga", "*.dds", "*.ico", "*.eot", "*.pdf", "*.swf", "*.jar", "*.zip"],
"prevent_bin_preview": true,
"open_externally_patterns": [
"*.JPG",
"*.jpg",
"*.jpeg",
"*.JPEG",
"*.png",
"*.PGN",
"*.gif",
"*.GIF",
"*.zip",
"*.ZIP",
"*.pdf",
"*.PDF"
]
I choose the third way, it's quite sutiable for me. It will open jpg file in system default application and quickly close the edit mode automaically at the same time. As to the first two ways, you can set "preview_on_click": false, to stop openning automaticlly the hex editor compromisely.
or try this
"cmd": ["cmd","/K","start http://localhost/Angularjs/$file_name"]
