@macosxguru For typewriter scrolling I use a plugin made by some forum regulars. I just cleaned it up and pushed it to github [1] for my own use. It works fine for me but doesn't support cloned views and so on. Maybe it will be useful to you until @tito updates BufferScroll.

Thanks again Alex. I installed it, and it works perfectly. Made it possible for me to switch to SublimeText 3 full time. thank you again.

Hope BufferScroll can support sublime text 3.

I am loving the typewriter scrolling functionality but am wondering if anyone thinks it would be even better if the user could define the location the active line would be at, perhaps through a percentage. I like the to keep my active line at about 33% down from the top of the screen.

That's a really good idea : )

I'm happy to announce this plugin nows supports ST3 https://github.com/SublimeText/BufferScroll/tree/st3 The first of the serie

There is some bugs, mostly present in ST2: Work in progress.. have hopes.

ヘ The application does not have an event listener for when you swtich, open or close projects, and windows, then this package can't save the data for the focused files. You will lost scroll position of last focused file. By not providing these listeners, this package has suboptimal methods for saving it's data. Such listening change of views, focus lost, file closing, saving, etc. If you don't hit any of these event, the package will lose the data for last focused file.

ヘ For some reason sublime API is not restoring scroll of xml/html documents, including: xml, tpl, html, xhtml See: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6237&start=0 Also this will and is causing problems for these that use the build screeen with F4. Also, is causing another problem, that you can't request to sublime to open a file at a given row, because this plugin will overwrite the scrolled line. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3503&start=20#p22324

ヘ There is no event listener for when a view is scrolled, then this package, has another suboptimal way of listening for changes of scroll, such tracking the scroll every x time.

Nice, like it very much! One more issue I'm getting - when I close sublime I lose folding in files. Is that in bug list as well?
Also I'm getting following error in console, is there anything I can do to fix it?

Ahh, may the folder does not exists?

Please update and let me know.

Please update and let me know.

Yep, no errors - folder and file were created. Almost perfect!

Here are steps to reproduce minor issue with folding:
1) Open file where you can add foldings
2) Fold piece of code
3) Save
4) Just close sublime without closing file first
5) Open sublime - you'll see that foldings are not remembered

If in step 4 you close the file before closing sublime then, after sublime restart, when you open the file foldings will be in place.
Other than that it is great, thanks man!

Imposible to restore something if on_load is not dispatched when opening the application.
