The dragging is solid. I especially like how dragging off of the tab bar opens the file in a new window and/or dragging between windows’ tab bars opens the dragged file in that project. Another excellent release!

I just accidentally found out that dragging a tab out of the tab bar makes a new window. This is awesome.
I was hoping I could make a feature request, though: would it be possible to be able to select multiple buffers (by shift-clicking or command-clicking or whatever) and then drag them all at once into a new window? That would be, as far as I know, unprecedented.

I appear to only be able to move tabs into the first Sublime Text X window. If I have two maximized windows with the second one on top, tabs will drop through that window into the first one behind it. If I have a third or fourth window and I drag a tab out of it, I can’t drag that tab back in.

Also, if you make enough tabs that the close buttons disappear, and then you close some tabs so the close buttons re-appear, some of them will sometimes be highlighted until you mouse-over and mouse-out again.

When the last tab in a non-project window is closed (and maybe only if there are other windows, or something… I’m not sure) could the window close automatically?

It’d be really nice if refresh_folder_list could keep track of which folders in the tree you’ve got open and keep them open if they still exist after the refresh – I refresh my folder list a lot because I’m using git to move between branches etc.
Also, could you make it so that the sidebar can be used with the arrow keys? I.e., I’d like to be able to select a folder, hit the right arrow key to open it, press up and down to select different files, etc.

Tabs: They look sweet, and as I said I’m a huge fan of the fact that you can drag them out into new windows. However, I just wanted to let you know that someone out there still likes the sidebar. :smile: I have a widescreen monitor, so I’d rather take up room on the side than on the top (tabs leave me with fewer lines of code showing!).
There are a couple things that would make the sidebar totally killer. Chief among these would be adding the drag-out-into-a-new-window functionality that the tabs have. The second thing I think would be sweet to see (I think I might have mentioned this, but because I’m making this list I guess I’ll put it here too) is the ability to act on a selection of multiple sidebar items: close all, drag all out into a new window, drag all to a new group, etc. The last thing I’d like is if there were a sidebar highlight for each group’s frontmost buffer instead of just for the active buffer (i.e. if the front buffer in group 1 and the front buffer in group 2 were both highlighted). This way I wouldn’t need tabs at all—I have them on right now mostly so I can see instantly which file is open in each group.

Thanks!

When I try to slurp_find_string a tab character (and I’ve got translate_tabs_to_spaces enabled) it gets slurped as spaces, making it pretty hard to search for tabs without using regex. :smile: (a tab pasted into the search box also gets converted to spaces).
Also, selected whitespace doesn’t seem to be visible in the quick-panel.

@ Cane - Yes, exactly like tabs in firefox, but also with the ability to define the minimum and maximum width for the tabs.

I use now ST X since a few days and everything work great.

The only function that I miss now is the Goto Symbol, do you plan to add it soon ?

Thanks for the updated Matlab syntax. Maybe I’m the only one who uses it, but I’d like to make a few suggestions:

  1. The tmLanguage doesn’t show up unless you add “fileTypesm” to recognize the .m files.

  2. Just my preference, and obviously would make the tmLanguage file differ from whatever standard one you used, but IMHO the Matlab functions are described incorrectly as “keywords” when they should be “functions.” The result is that I get a ton of red syntax on my screen, functions are colored the same as operators and structure keywords (begin, end, for, while, etc). I replaced the following keyword descriptors with function descriptors so that the highlighting of Matlab functions was more correct:

keyword.analysis.matlab --> support.function.analysis.matlab
keyword.desktop.matlab --> support.function.desktop.matlab
keyword.mathematics.matlab --> support.function.mathematics.matlab
keyword.operator.matlab --> support.function.operator.matlab
keyword.other.matlab --> support.function.other.matlab

graphics functions for some reason were not highlighted at all (using the default highlighter):
support.graphics.matlab --> support.function.graphics.matlab

Thanks!

The new tabs are great. However, I’m getting some inconsistencies when the files tree is closed in the side bar.
When it is closed I can’t see the contents of a tab it is just black and you can’t click between tabs.
When I open the files tree I can click between the tabs and the content is shown. Is this by design?

tstrokes: can you email a screenshot to jps@sublimetext.com, and let me know what platform you’re on?

If a file is opened from the command line, could it open in the most-recently-active sublime window rather than in the most-recently-created window? Even more ideally, Sublime Text X would look up the folder of the file being opened and see if that folder exists in an open project, and then open the file in that project’s window.

For some reason command+/ doesn’t work anymore… When I press it, the console spits out “no command for selector: noop:” and my line of code isn’t commented. I’m pretty sure it used to work, though.
If I also hold option, then I can successfully get it to block-comment.

I have a slight suggestion about the snippets menu. The commas can be a bit confusing for snippets that include commas.
For instance in the JavaScript snippet menu the snippet for Object Value JS is :, so in the menu it looks like :, ,.

The window for the Auto Complete is not limited to the screen area and when you are in full screen at the bottom of the page you only see a little bit of the list, but the cursor go off the screen if you go down.

PS: Don’t forget to add the bookmarks, they are quite useful :smile:

Tab title isn’t updated when clicking through files in folders in the sidebar. For example: add a folder to a project with 20 html files, open one and click through the files. With one (!) click, it is opened (why?), but the tab title still remains the filename of the first one.

// Edit: Ah! Got it. In fact, there is no new tab if you “open” a file with single mouse click. Double-click works. Ugly bug :wink:

This is actually by design, I think… one click “previews” the file and a double-click actually opens it.
I think it’d be cool if there were some sort of temporary tab created during a preview that made it clear that a new file was open but also that it was only being previewed.

It’s probably a small change, but I’d love it it you could select the folder/project to search in with a dropdown or history object (like in the old version of sublime) in the find in files dialog. It is possible to do it by manually typing the path at the moment, but would be great if it had the old behaviour.

Hi,

I love Sublime and I purchased a license for Sublime Text X. Definitely the best editor in the market, thank you.

I want to use Distraction Free Full Screen View (Shift + F11) in Sublime Text X. Is it possible :question:

murat: Distraction free mode isn’t in Sublime Text X yet, but it will be coming eventually

Can the behavior of “move by words” (i.e. alt+left or option+left) be tweaked a little bit? If there’s more than one space between two tokens, I’d love if “move by words” stopped on both sides of the space. E.g.:

#define FIVE   |5

[option+left]

#define FIVE|   5

[option+left]

#define |FIVE   5

[option+left]

#|define FIVE   5
