What is the quickest way to run a command?

[saltnlight5]

Hi, so far I noticed I can run a command by add an entry into User key mapping, but is there another quicker way without even map a key to the command? I tried Command Palette, but it doesn't show all the commands, nor it will run any explicit command give.

The console will run anything (view>console).

Ah, I tried

Code: Select all

view.run_command('example')

and it works. Thanks adzenith!

PS: However I still wish ST2 should have something even more easier. Like a prompt to enter just the command name etc. Since command is such frequent used thing, it would be really useful to have.

You can add whatever you want to the Command Palette, create a Default.sublime-commands in your user folder based on the content of:

Code: Select all

\Sublime Text 2\Packages\Default\Default.sublime-commands

You can also use a small plugin to ask the command and run it:

Code: Select all

import sublime, sublime_plugin
class AskCommandCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self):
        def _on_done_cmd(cmd):
            self.window.run_command(cmd)
        self.window.show_input_panel('Command:', '', _on_done_cmd, None, None)

Note that this example only work for parameters less command, but adding a second prompt for parameters is easy.
