in-countable

Wrong. I counted 15.

I'm still partial toward my recommended additions to the preview feature ( i.e. Adding the 'x' to the preview to close the preview and make it more obvious that the previous file was not lost. )

That's a good addition, i'm with you.

But my request here is to allow a complete disable of this feature.

Sometimes the files that I right-click start loading and I can't use any function of my plugins because the file is locked by the editor. Hope you can understand that this feature generates on me more headaches than solutions.

Also, when a preview pop-up, you lost focus of you current tab. I don't know how do you expect to solve that. I don't want to lose my current tab.

I understand the desire to disable the preview feature, but the fact that this hasn't already been implement suggests to me that it's a bigger burden on Jon's half than simply flipping a switch. My guess is it's tightly entangled in other features. For example, the GoTo File. How should the goto file degrade (without having the instant previews as you search)? Should preview only be disable for clicks in the sidebar? Then more problems arise...

I may be completely off base though. Maybe Jon secretly has a switch called "Disable Preview" that he's just not sharing

But if I am right and disabling the preview is too big of a hassle, I think improving it both functionally and visually with eliminate the headaches.

But I'm sure Jon's well aware of all of this (I guarantee he's seen all of the posts you've linked to) and he's bound to surprise us with what's to come

Just wanted to add my support for the ability to disable the preview feature. It makes working with several tabs open at once very difficult as you lose the focus of the current tab when the preview launches and then have to relocate that tab after clicking back from the preview.

I believe a temporary work is around is to press Ctrl-Tab which (seems to..) revert to the previous view/ last active tab.

Rather than disabling the preview, perhaps it's possible to persuade (single-)clicking a file in the sidebar to cause it to open? But perhaps someone's already achieved this somewhere :?:

I'm interested in disabling preview too.

My issue is that I'm dealing with a very large code base sometimes with some very large files. I love the quick open, but I only need it to search through paths, showing me the file contents with every key press seems so strain it. I get some poor and laggy performance with sublime text 2 when opening up new files this way. Any ideas on how to combat this?

Would like to be able to disable preview. I find it intrusive most of the time.

Very frustrating this issue/feature, I need to close the editor many times in a day. Please do something.

JUSt allow to disable the preview when clicking a file in sidebar. That would be enough.
