open file from selected text

[gjj391]

Is there a way to open a file (if file) from selected text... For example if I highlight a class name, is there a way to open that file in a new tab?

"goto anything" pre-populated with the selected text would be awesome. Ditto!

If it's for Python or Magento (PHP) code I've something working.

Here's a plug-in I wrote a little while back that does that.

It's intended to work like Ctrl+Enter in Borland Delphi: open the thing under the cursor as a file.

It will try in the current path first, and if not found, it will look in a list of other paths, and will try each of a list of extensions.

For example, I have a library called "GenUtils.py" that I keep in a \projects folder, on different drives between my home and work computers.

I can click on "import GenUtils" in a piece of code, and this plugin will search for and open the first file matching "GenUtils.py" or "GenUtils.txt" in any folder named in the list.


Copy the code below into your plugin folder as OpenFile.py

Code: Select all

   ...\Sublime Text\Data\Packages\User\OpenFile.py

Add a keystroke combination to your user keymap file

Code: Select all

  <binding key="ctrl+enter" command="openFile" />

(Ctrl+Enter is initially assigned to "Add Line.sublime-macro")


Make sure to edit the "paths" and "exts" lists below to match your preferences.

If you have questions or run into something that doesn't work, please let me know.
