Command reflection

[jburnett]

Is there a way to reflect over a command and get its expected arguments? This would be pretty easy to do given a Command subclass instance, but I'm not sure how to get that for some of the built in commands (if such a thing even exists). e.g. "what are the valid arguments to the "open_dir" command?

[jburnett]

And actually, not just reflect over a command's arguments, but reflecting over the list of all commands would be helpful as well. Is that possible?

[jps]

Neither is available, although enumerating the available commands would be possible to add

[jburnett]

Ah, ok. Are you ever planning on documenting the built in commands, or is it still to early for that?

This would be a really nice feature to have (as suggested by jburnett). Any chance for it to make it into the ToDo list?

As part of migrating from ST1 to ST2 I needed something looks at the sublime-menu and sublime-keymap files and collects a set() of all the values provided for each command parameter ...

eg.

Code: Select all

u'permute_selection': {u'operation': set([u'reverse',
                                           u'shuffle',
                                           u'unique'])},

Not exactly what you were wanting but It's somewhat useful as an overview ...
