How to track if an output panel is closed/hidden?

[aponxi]

Output panels are hidden when I bring out the console with CTRL+` or trigger some other output panel to be shown... How can I track that the output panel I have is "closed" or hidden?

My panel is created with this code

Code: Select all

        panel = window.get_output_panel(self.PANEL_NAME)

Edit: After thinking about this only a bit I realize that the thing I wanted to use only works for "context managers" added by plugins, not for internals.

I don't know of a way to track the visibility of output panels but re-running the show_panel command does not break anything and would be the desired way to make the panel appear "always". If you only want to "check" if a panel is visible/focused, I can't really help you. I tried a few things, though.

In the key bindings I found this (extracts):

Code: Select all

"command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "console", "toggle": true}

"context": [{"key": "panel", "operand": "find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]

   { "keys": ["escape"], "command": "hide_panel", "args": {"cancel": true},
      "context":
      [
         { "key": "panel_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }
      ]
   },


However, triggering these context events did not really help and always returned "False" for my tests. (sublime_lib.WindowAndTextCommand)

Code: Select all

class TestCommandCommand(sublime_lib.WindowAndTextCommand):
    def is_checked(self):
        return False

    def run(self, param):
        print(self.view, self._window_command)
        self.window.run_command("show_panel", {"panel": "output.aaa_package_dev"})
        visible = sublime_plugin.on_query_context(self.view, key="panel_visible", operator=sublime.OP_EQUAL, operand=True, match_all=False)
        focus = sublime_plugin.on_query_context(self.view, key="panel_has_focus", operator=sublime.OP_EQUAL, operand="output.aaa_package_dev", match_all=False)
        print("is visible", visible, "has focus", focus)


So, not really helpful but maybe you can find something out of this.
