Sublime Text 2 - when working on a network drive it create ._ files, and I can't seem to find a settings to turn this feature off.
I had similar problem with TextMate before and the solution was to change OakDocumentDisableFSMetaData property, but I can't find anything similar within Sublime
TextMate solution was:
defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDocumentDisableFSMetaData 1

Just add ._* to the file_exclude_patterns in your Sublime Preferences.
Or if you don't want it to be overwritten by further updates add this line to your User Prefs
"file_exclude_patterns": ["*.pyc", "*.pyo", "*.exe", "*.dll", "*.obj","*.o", "*.a", "*.lib", "*.so", "*.dylib", "*.ncb", "*.sdf", "*.suo", "*.pdb", "*.idb", ".DS_Store", "*.class", "*.psd", "*.db", "._*"]

Sublime text opens, wants to reload old files because they have changed, I reload a few and then it crashes.
Is there a way to start Sublime Text afresh, letting it forget the last files that it had open?
In Sublime Text 3 set hot_exit to false in "Preferences -> Settings-User"
"hot_exit": false
remember_open_files doesn't exist in Sublime Text 3 settings anymore.
Go to Sublime Text
Choose
Preferences >> Settings-User
Add the code below to the current settings. (Remember to add a comma at the end of the first line if it doesn’t) and save it.
{
"remember_open_files": false,
"hot_exit": false,
}
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"
is it possible to hide all the files with certain extension from the sidebar (lateral nav bar) in Sublime Text Editor 3?
Are you talking about the sidebar? For example, if you select File → Open and select a folder, then the folder and its contents are displayed along the left side, allowing you to navigate amongst its contents and sub-directories. If that is the case, then the answer is yes, files can be excluded.
Select Preferences → Settings – Default to open a tab called Preferences.sublime-settings – Default. This file is read-only, so you'll also need to open Preferences → Settings – User. The first time you open your user preferences it will be blank. It (and all Sublime config files) are in the JSON format, so you'll need opening and closing curly braces at the beginning and end of the file, respectively:
{
}
Activate the default preferences tab and search for file_exclude_patterns (which is on line 377 in ST3 build 3083) and also folder_exclude_patterns if desired. Copy its contents to your user preferences file, like so:
{
"file_exclude_patterns": ["*.pyc", "*.pyo", "*.exe", "*.dll", "*.obj","*.o", "*.a", "*.lib", "*.so", "*.dylib", "*.ncb", "*.sdf", "*.suo", "*.pdb", "*.idb", ".DS_Store", "*.class", "*.psd", "*.db", "*.sublime-workspace"]
}
and feel free to add your own customizations. Please note that there is no comma (,) after the closing square bracket, as in this example this is the only customized preference. If you have multiple ones (changing fonts, window options, themes, or whatever) you'll need a comma after each item except the last one (trailing commas are illegal JSON):
{
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true,
"word_wrap": true,
"wrap_width": 0
}
You can also set them up per project and ignore folders, in your .sublime-project file, e.g.:
{
"folders": [{
"path": ".",
"folder_exclude_patterns": [".svn", "._d", ".metadata", ".settings"],
"file_exclude_patterns": ["*.pyc", "*.pyo", ".project"]
}]
}
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
#fraxel _ Thanks for all the help and quick response.
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 $exclude variable. Add trailing comma.
For Textmate 2:
Click on the top menu Textmate, then Preferences.
Navigate to the second tab, called Projects.
On the "Exclude files matching" just add 'log' to the end of the list, for example:
{*.{o,pyc},Icon\r,CVS,_darcs,_MTN,\{arch\},blib,*\~.nib,tmp,log}
This should do it, the log folder should no longer be searched, or used as match when opening a file.
Use AckMate, https://github.com/protocool/AckMate and read hot to change the normal Find in Project Shift+Cmd+F here github.com/protocool/AckMate/wiki/Usage
Alternatively you could explicitly tell Mate to look at a specific subset of folders.
~/project/mate app db models
Project find will be restricted to those folders.
Or to just remove the log dir you could add an alias to ~/.profile:
alias m="ls | grep -v 'log' | xargs mate"
Just remove reference to log folder from project tree.
Also you may right click on *.log files and mark then as binary (they will not be searched).
http://wiki.macromates.com/Troubleshooting/FindInProject
For TextMate2 it should be: excludeDirectories = "{$excludeDirectories,log}"
