SideBar Enhanc.. (Clipboard, Open With., Reload renamed)

#71

OK, thanks for the help. I now have a completely new system, built a brand new computer, and so everything is a new installation. I have done everything you’ve said and F12 is now working with the settings above, but now when I hit F12, Windows doesn’t know which program to use to open the file. It’s not opening properly in localhost, instead the dialogue to choose which program to open .php files shows up. I tried choosing Chrome, but that only opens the code in the browser window, not the site itself. I’m sure I must just be missing something I had previously setup, but I’m not sure what. I’ve added my www directory to my Apache httpd.conf file and so when I browse to localhost in my browser I can see my files in “My Projects” list and they open properly from there, but still not from Sublime.

Your thoughts?

Windows 7 user here. I’ve found a couple of issues.

  1. “Open in new window” currently does nothing.

  2. “Open in browser” just opens the file in sublime and nothing else.

I’m sure you’ll need more specifics, just let me know and thanks for the plugin.

I opened an issue at https://github.com/titoBouzout/SideBarEnhancements/issues/41 asking for improvements to the read-me so that people can take full advantage of this useful package without struggling to configure it.

It also contains my (hopefully correct) findings on the specifics and potential pitfalls of the F12 and Open With features.
While written in part from the perspective of OS X, I hope they are useful in general.

Hello, many thanks for so detailed issue. I fixed most of the bugs you mentioned about the F12 key.

Now this pluing try to call the browser directy instead of using “webbrowser” module.

If the browser is not found, please post the path to the browser here, I’ll be happy to add it.

About updating the readme.md file, i added some of the things you mentioned, but please, fork the project and add anything you think is important. Contributions welcome.

Your setting should be something like this:

{ "E:\\work\\www":{ "url_testing":"http://localhost", "url_production":"http://domain.tld" } } [/quote]

That is what I have in the settings but instead of my browser opening up:

localhost/website/filename.php

it’s opening up:

file:///E:/Work/www/website/filename.php instead.

This is doing my head in. It can’t be this difficult, especially when it worked perfectly fine before.

On a similar but somewhat unrelated note, I had my last computer set up so that when I double clicked a PHP file, it would open in my browser at localhost/website/filename.php and for the life of me I can’t remember how I set that up, but it was immensely useful. If anyone here can tell me how I might have done this previously it would be greatly appreciated because I simply can’t remember and haven’t been able to find the answer on Google.

Regards.

n1colius install “open include”
then CTRL+A (select all)
then ALT+D (open paths found on selection)

Fatbat - the paths in the config file are case sensitive. check again.

{
    "E:\\work\\www":{
        "url_testing":"http://localhost",
        "url_production":"http://domain.tld"
    }
}

is the correct case. But it doesn’t make a difference what case I use. I’ve tried all caps, mixed case, all lower case. In fact it doesn’t matter what I put here. I can type anything, leave it blank, write a poem, etc. the result is the same. Hitting F12 opens the file in Firefox at:

file:///E:/Work/www/website/filename.php

instead of:

localhost/website/filename.php

Also, how do I control what app hitting F12 opens with? Chrome is my default browser but hitting F12 opens files in Firefox instead.

Edit: found it in the second settings file > Preferences >Package Settings > Side Bar > Settings Default

Does anyone have any advice how to make this plugin work? I’ve read though everything on Github but I do not see an obvious answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try this:

{ "E:\\Work\\www":{ "url_testing":"http://localhost", "url_production":"http://domain.tld" } }

or this:

{ "e:\\Work\\www":{ "url_testing":"http://localhost", "url_production":"http://domain.tld" } }

Edit the config file and select “chrome”

Sorry for this stupid question, but I didn’t find anything about it.

I like to use my Editor without a Mouse and I’m wondering if it’s not possible to focus the sidebar?
While writing something in the editor I want to focus the sidebar, navigate with cursor-keys and open the context menu.
Is this possible?

I’m using the latest Version on Mac OS X.

@Fatbat - you are welcome!
@S0und - can you suggest a better keybinding?
@layne - CTRL+0 , i guess CMD+0

Can you tell me the syntax for OSX? I right clicked my sidebar and pasted the result of the “Copy as Text>Folder Project” and it’s not working
“/Users/warin/Sites/minisite.stator.dev”

Is there a way to enable debug mode ? :smile:

regarding @layne’s question.

I can focus the sidebar with cmd + 0 but I want to be able to open the context menu with a keyboard shortcut as well. Is that possible?

edit

looks like alt+f2 will open the context menu when I’ve got a file open but I’d like to open the sidebar enhanced context menu when I’m traversing the sidebar.

Errr… I’ve just uninstalled this extension and now the context menu does not appear when I right click any file in the sidebar. :S what can I do?

For anyone who might encounter this issue, the solution is here:

github.com/titoBouzout/SideBarE … /issues/18

Now, @tito, a few questions/suggestions…

  • perhaps it might be worth removing F2 as a binding to Rename. It conflicts with Sublime’s default binding to Next Bookmark (in windows at least), rename isn’t a routine function for most users (imo), it’s available from the palette for those who want it, and people can always assign their own keys if they want to.
  • ctrl+alt+f fast find file is really nice, but I’m missing the option to open the results (files) in the results window and to reveal them in the sidebar. These two additions would round the function off beautifully.
  • On the subject of the error above, perhaps just renaming the original Side Bar and Side Bar Mount Point files is a better idea. Maybe offer your own uninstall script available through the palette?
  • It might also be worth contacting wbond to get some kind of package uninstall script standard agreed for package control to deal with these kinds of situations as well?

Nice work btw :smile:
