I don’t see any benefit there to be honest, since both deal with plain text (not hypertext).Īs for HTML output, this is just an idea to somehow be in par with TextMate. Split and tabbed flexible layout is already supported by ST for text views, so why not use them for output too, instead of “special” output view. That’s why I am actually not proposing new future, but reuse and even simplification of existing ones.
That said, I’m not suggesting we have a perfect UI now, or that we won’t ever add anything. Since the UI toolkit is 100% developed and maintained in-house, each feature added leads to more maintenance overhead and opportunities for edge-case bugs. Allowing a kitchen sink of UI options, IMO often leads to confusing interfaces, funky panel interactions, and complex implementations. I’m in no way presenting any official Sublime HQ opinion on this, but I would be hesitant to allow such a thing myself. This would really improve the experience, especially when large files have 4 digit line numbers that take quite a lot of horizontal space, while it is still good to have them.Īnyway Sublime is really great app and I really enjoy working with it now everyday. Last thing, maybe not really important, but it would be great if we could be able to customize line numbers, eg. I know you can change alpha of foreground color to somehow change tabs, but it does not affect spaces. I use this feature a lot when reviewing the code, for mixed or trailing whitespace stuff. Invisibles color cannot be customized for some reason, while TextMate supports it I think from very beginning via “invisibles” entry in color schemes, but for some reason Sublime does not, and color for tabs and spaces is hard-coded, also Sublime does not show line-breaks when show invisibles is on. Honestly I don’t really understand why Console and Output are special panels, if Sublime have such a nice support for splitted layout? Why they can behave like any other editor windows and be part of split/tabbed layout, that can be easily moved around? I know there’s sublime-text-2-buildview plugin, but this is kind of hacky solution. This is the way I work in TextMate and in Visual Studio.
This is really a big annoyance when working on multi-monitor setup, and I want the output to be in the 2nd screen while have my dev windows on 1st screen. Output panel has a fixed layout, and it cannot be made either floating or vertical (eg. However there are couple of things (features) present in TextMate that are (for some reason) missing in sublime. I have recently started working (again) with Windows in my new job and I have purchased Sublime for doing everyday’s file edits and (Sci)Python development.
