Color Scheme Editor *inside* ST2

[bobef]

Hi guys, I've been playing with ST plugins today. I made a small plugin that shows you the actual styles that affect the source under the cursor so you can change it and see the effect immediately. Give it a try if you are interested. The plugin is not extensively tested and not in the package control yet. More info and screenshots: https://github.com/bobef/ColorSchemeEditor-ST2

To install the plugin manually just click the "ZIP" button in the link and extract to where your other ST packages are.

Update 14-02-2013: Now if more than one style affects the source element you can switch between the styles with Ctl+Alt+(Right|Left)

Very cool! It's working pretty well for me thus far. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 with ST2 build 2219.

This looks pretty cool! Any chance that we can get a ST3 version?

Try it, maybe it works on ST3 also, let me know. ST3 doesn't work so well for me ATM so I'll wait it to mature more before switching.

This is interesting. I like this direction. Keep in mind though, in Sublime Text, an element of code can actually be influenced by multiple XML/Scheme items. So, an element of code might get its color from one scheme entry, background color from another, and text emphasis (bold etc.) from yet another. I learned this when I did the ExportHtml plugin that recreates the exact look of sublime's code window in HTML.

Anyways, glad to see something like this coming about.

I was wondering if this is possible. I can add some shortcuts to move between all matching entries, currently only the best match is displayed, I'll write this down in the todo list.
