I wish that saving/creating a new file was as fast as creating a new folder. Instead of having to use OSX’s save dialogue box (which takes a while to load all of its fancy animations…), I would love to use the input panel (sorry, I don’t know what the official name is) to quickly save a new file.

Like this:

If you have SideBar Enhancements installed you can hack the file “Side Bar.sublime-commands” like so:

  {
    "caption": "File: New (relative)",
    "command": "side_bar_new_file"
  },
  {
    "caption": "File: Duplicate (relative)",
    "command": "side_bar_duplicate"
  },
  {
    "caption": "File: Rename ",
    "command": "side_bar_rename"
  }
]

That’ll give you exactly what you ask for and more

Thanks! It’s awesome. There seems to be a problem, though. I don’t know if it’s with ST2 or SidebarEnhancements. Those commands don’t work if the only open file is “untitled.”

Hmm, yeah the commands only work with files that already exist in the file system.

Workaround is to not create files with File->new, but only via “duplicate relative” or “new relative”
