Inline read-only widgets like in LightTable(for inline REPL)

#1

Hello dev. team,

I’m glad you came back after 4 months of absence, so I greet you with my first in list missing feature request :smile:

In API I would like to see possibility to create (and remove) read-only text widgets like in LightTable, which is in turn from CodeMirror javascript editor: codemirror.net/demo/widget.html

I think It’s really useful for creation of inline repl in editor for any language supporting this feature (such as clojure, python etc).
Also it may have other use such as error reporting, common hinting or anything else I may not know.

How it looks in LightTable (using custom color scheme)

Would be much better if you fill an issue in the unofficial bug tracking at Github github.com/SublimeText/Issues/issues

Hi tito,
Done!

It’s the most handy feature (inline repl) in LightTable which is missing in Sublime, and it’s impossible to create it even via API.
