Is there a way to set a default document type when saving a NEW FILE?
I created several new files and I want to have a default value of .txt when saving a NEW FILE.
Create a new plugin Tools > Developer > New Plugin...
Paste this in:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class EverythingIsPowerShell(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_new(self, view):
view.set_syntax_file('Packages/PowerShell/Support/PowershellSyntax.tmLanguage')
Save and call it NewTabSyntax.py. New tabs will now default to Powershell.
You can change the syntax to whatever you prefer. To find out the "path" of a particular syntax, simply open a file of that syntax, open the console (View > Show Console) and type:
view.settings().get('syntax')
This plugin does it:
https://github.com/spadgos/sublime-DefaultFileType
seems pretty great.
Edit:
Ok, two things, there currently seems to be a small bug so the text file syntax is not being correctly picked up due to the whitespace in the filename. In addition you need to set the "use_current_file_syntax" to false, (otherwise the new file will default to whatever filetype you have open already when you hit Ctrl-N)... So the fix/workaround is this:
Put the following code in: Packages/User/default_file_type.sublime-settings
{ "default_new_file_syntax": "Packages/Text/Plain_text.tmLanguage",
"use_current_file_syntax": false }
NOTE THE UNDERSCORE.
Next, find the "Plain text.tmLanguage" file and copy and rename it (in the same folder) as "Plain_text.tmLanguage". [be sure to copy/duplicate it, do not just rename it, as it may have dependancies]
Restart, just to be sure, and this should do the trick.
Also note this plugin only works for new files created with Ctrl-N.
Working after these steps:
1.Uninstalled
2.Installed using Package Control
3.Test using default install (type Jave) <-- worked
4.Copy and Renamed file Sublime Text 2\Packages\Text\Plain text.tmLanguage > Sublime Text 2\Packages\Text\Plain_text.tmLanguage
5.Changed file Sublime Text 2\Packages\Default File Type\default_file_type.sublime-settings >
`{ "default_new_file_syntax": "Packages/Text/Plain_text.tmLanguage", "use_current_file_syntax": true }`
-- All working.
I did not need to copy any files into the 'Packages/User' folder

Sublime Text - spell check does not work for .txt files (while working for other files).
Why? How to fix? Any ideas?
Also: in a new file (not yet saved) the spell check works. However, after the file is saved as .txt, the spell check does not work. Unexpected. Why? How to fix?
The Preferences.sublime-settings has:
"spell_check": true,
and nothing special for .txt files.
Sublime Text, Build 4126.
UPD. In safe mode:
Here we see that in helloe.bash the helloe is not spell-checked. Why?
The Bash.sublime-settings has:
// These settings override both User and Default settings for the Bash syntax
{
}
UPD2. After adding "spell_check": true in Bash.sublime-settings the helloe is still not spell-checked. Any ideas why?
Multiple things to check:
Check how .txt files are syntax-highlighted. In my case .txt files are syntax-highlighted as .bash files (it is needed by some reason).
If .txt files are syntax-highlighted as .bash files, then helloe is a variable name, which is not spell checked by default. As user #OdatNurd said:
spell_check controls weather or not spell checking is turned on or not, but spelling_selector determines what text is actually spell checked. Specifically, in source code files it's basically strings and comments. In your example the text is a variable name. If you want to alter that, you need to alter the spelling_selector too.
I am using the Atom text editor, and for the longest time the syntax highlighting was working perfectly. Then I upgraded atom, and it changed the default syntax from JavaScript (rails) to just JavaScript syntax highlighting. Now I manually have to change it everytime I open a new file.
After searching for a while, I found something that works well. In Atom go to
Atom > Init script
Then add the following code
path = require 'path'
atom.workspace.observeTextEditors (editor) ->
if path.extname(editor.getPath()) == ".js"
editor.setGrammar(atom.grammars.grammarForScopeName('source.js.rails source.js.jquery'))
In this case I am setting the default syntax highlight for all files ending in .js to my preferred syntax source.js.rails source.js.jquery
You can find the source name of the syntax you want by manually going to the syntax highlighting, and it will be listed next to the name on the right
How can I set RStudio to use Ctrl+R (in addition to Ctrl+Enter) to execute commands?
https://community.rstudio.com/t/bring-ctrl-r-back/1846 suggests editing the "rstudio_bindings.json" file, but I can't find the file.
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206382178-Customizing-Keyboard-Shortcuts gives instructions to add using from the menu options. I tried to add "Ctrl+Enter|Ctrl+R" as suggested in the first link but this is not accepted. At the bottom of the page it describes how the bindings are saved at ~/.R/rstudio/keybindings/rstudio_commands.json or ~/.R/rstudio/keybindings/editor_commands.json. I cannot find either of these files.
How can I do this?
R version 3.4.2
RStudio Version 1.1.383
Windows 7
Following advice from https://community.rstudio.com/t/bring-ctrl-r-back/1846,
you have to edit the file ~/.R/rstudio/keybindings/rstudio_bindings.json with
{
"executeCode" : "Ctrl+Enter|Ctrl+R"
}
These directories and file already existed on Ubuntu, however, neither the file nor any of the directories existed on my Windows partition. So needed to create the nested directories .R/rstudio/keybindings, and then create the json file shown above, and save it as rstudio_bindings.json.
(aside: Windows didn't like trying to name a new folder of .R (the leading dot gave problems), but you can get round this by naming .R. , as the trailing dot is removed from here )
How to (easily) get current file path in Sublime Text 3
I don't often use ST console (I used it only once to install package manager), but I suppose it could be good way to :
get current file path like some kind pwd command.
But it doesn't work.
Does anyone know an easy way to get current file path?
to clipboard : better not a strict objective in the answer
not necessary by ST command, maybe package?
Right click somewhere in the file (not on the title tab) --> Copy file path
If you don't want to use the mouse, you could set up a keyboard shortcut as explained here https://superuser.com/questions/636057/how-to-set-shortcut-for-copy-file-path-in-sublime-text-3
To easily copy the current file path, add the following to Key Bindings - User:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+c"], "command": "copy_path" },
Source
Key Bindings - User can be opened via the command palette (command + p on OSX)
Easy to understand using image. On Right Click you will get this.
Transcribed code in image for convenience:
import sublime, sublime_plugin, os
class CopyFilenameCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
if len(self.view.file_name()) > 0:
filename = os.path.split(self.view.file_name())[1]
sublime.set_clipboard(filename)
sublime.status_message("Copied file name: %s" % filename)
def is_enabled(self):
return self.view.file_name()... # can't see
Mac OS X - Sublime Text 3
Right click > Copy File Path
A lot of these answers involve touching the mouse. Here's how to do get the path without any mouse clicks using SideBarEnhancements
Install SideBarEnhancements using PackageControl.
Click super + shift + P to open the command palette
In the command palette begin typing path until you see File: Copy Path
Select File: Copy Path
Now the path to file you are working in is copied into your clipboard.
There is a Sublime Package which gives your current file location inside a status bar. I just cloned them directly to my /sublime-text-3/Packages folder.
git clone git#github.com:shagabutdinov/sublime-shell-status.git ShellStatus;
git clone git#github.com:shagabutdinov/sublime-status-message.git StatusMessage;
You have to check/read the description on GitHub. Even it is listed in package control it would not install properly for me. You can actually edit the shell output as you want. If you have the right skills with python/shell.
Looks like this (Material Theme)
If you're like me and always click on items in the sidebar just to realize that copying the path only works when clicking in the editor area, have a look at the SideBarEnhancements package. It has a huge bunch of options to copy file paths in a variety of different ways.
Installation is available via Package Control (despite the webpage only mentions installation via manual download).
Note: The package “sends basic, anonymous statistics”. The webpage explains how to opt out from that.
Go to this link. The code in the link is given by robertcollier4.
Create a file named CpoyFileName.py or whatever you like with .py extension.
Save the file in Sublime Text 3\Packages\User folder. Then paste the above given key bindings in your Preferences: Key Bindings file.
Now, you can use the specified key bindings to copy just filename or total (absolute) filepath.
Please note that the filename or filepath do contain file extension.
Fastest Solution ( No Packages Needed + Comprehensive ):
Folder Path:
Folder in "Sidebar"
Right Click
"Find In Folder"
"Where" field contains everything you need
File Path:
File in current "Tab"
Right Click
"Copy File Path"
How can I make Textmate always ignore the /log folder in the "Find in Project" search?
Add the log folder to the excludeInFolderSearch option in your ~/.tm_properties file, e.g.:
excludeInFolderSearch = "{$excludeInFolderSearch,$extraExcludes,log}"
I found a easier way to do it.
Go to Settings > Advanced > Folder References
And add |log| to the pattern.
valid for TextMate 1
Other answers did not work for me on TextMate 2.0-beta.12. After many frustrating attempts, this line was able to exclude the log, vendor, tmp and .git directories from fuzzy searching.
excludeInFileChooser = "{$excludeInFileChooser,log,vendor,tmp,.git}"
I added this line to a .tm_properties file in my project directory. I verified that this also works if you decide to put the .tm_properties in the home directory.
Edit:
Use excludeInFileChooser for modifying search paths in Textmate's "Go To File" navigation feature, which is activated by ⌘T.
Use excludeInFolderSearch for modifying paths when searching for text within the files of a directory, which is activated by either ⌘F or ⌘↑F
None of these worked for me. What worked was adding the following in a .tm_properties file (project root)
excludeDirectories = "{node_modules,}"
No $exclude variable. Add trailing comma.
For Textmate 2:
Click on the top menu Textmate, then Preferences.
Navigate to the second tab, called Projects.
On the "Exclude files matching" just add 'log' to the end of the list, for example:
{*.{o,pyc},Icon\r,CVS,_darcs,_MTN,\{arch\},blib,*\~.nib,tmp,log}
This should do it, the log folder should no longer be searched, or used as match when opening a file.
Use AckMate, https://github.com/protocool/AckMate and read hot to change the normal Find in Project Shift+Cmd+F here github.com/protocool/AckMate/wiki/Usage
Alternatively you could explicitly tell Mate to look at a specific subset of folders.
~/project/mate app db models
Project find will be restricted to those folders.
Or to just remove the log dir you could add an alias to ~/.profile:
alias m="ls | grep -v 'log' | xargs mate"
Just remove reference to log folder from project tree.
Also you may right click on *.log files and mark then as binary (they will not be searched).

For TextMate2 it should be: excludeDirectories = "{$excludeDirectories,log}"
