Sublime Text 2 - Link with Editor / Show file in sidebar - sublimetext

Question

I'm looking for a feature like Eclipse's Link with Editor. Basically, I want whatever file I'm editing to be shown in its place in the file tree.

Answer 1

Just right-click anywhere in the file's view and press "Reveal in Sidebar."
To make a key-binding, go to Preferences > Key Bindings-User and add:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+r"], "command": "reveal_in_side_bar" }
From here.

You can install this via the Package Control utility (although it doesn't mention it on the github page).

Answer 3

There is a simpler option to automate this: Create a new Plugin:
Menu Tools->New pluguin and save this:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class SideBarListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_activated(self, view):
view.window().run_command('reveal_in_side_bar')
The folder where to save this is selected by default, and extension (.py) also is added by default.
On windows, the folder is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User
That's quite usefull to modify a saved pluggin

Answer 4

I know I'm quite late for the party here, but having the very same need and trying to avoid mouse commands I've wrote a new plugin to that, take a look and give it a try, anything please feel free to ping me =)

Answer 5

I tested the solution proposed by Albert Català, but it causes an error when a popup window appears, with the 'Quick Switch Projects' command for example.
So here is my modified version to avoid errors :
import sublime
import sublime_plugin
class LinkWithEditor(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_activated(self, view):
if view.window() is not None:
view.window().run_command('reveal_in_side_bar')
Hope this help!
