API: Set cursor position/view location?

[jdc0589]

I have a javascript formatting plugin that passes the contents of the buffer through a python library then calls:

Code: Select all

self.view.replace(edit, replaceRegion, formatted)

An annoying side effect is that this causes the cursor to be at position 0 on the first line and the buffer view scrolls all the way to the top. Whats my best option for getting the line/position of the cursor prior to calling the replacement, and then resetting the cursor position to position 0 of that line after the replacement occurs (and have that in the field of view obviously)?

I'm either blind, or there isnt anything obvious in the API. Thanks in advance

Code: Select all

Class sublime.View:
sel()   RegionSet   Returns a reference to the selection.
show(point, <show_surrounds>)   Scroll the view to show the given point.
show_at_center(point)   Scroll the view to center on the point.

To read cursor(s) postion:

Code: Select all

pos = view.sel()

To put the cursor(s) (selection) somewhere, simply modify the sel() RegionSet values:

Code: Select all

view.sel().clear()
view.sel().add(sublime.Region(pos))

Take care of multi-selection.

Thanks, show and show_at_center is what I was looking for. I see it in the API doc now, not sure how I missed it
