[Sublime Text] File manipulations

Ref [1] [2]

1. Open file directory

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+o"], "command": "open_dir", "args": {"dir": "$file_path", "file": "$file_name"} },

2. Open CMD @ file direcotry

• Plugin

The Shell Turtlestein package also has a command for this:

https://github.com/misfo/Shell-Turtlestein

With that package installed, you can type CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+C to open CMD

• Scriptfile (.py)

1. Click the menu preference>Browser Packages in Sublime Text 2.
2. Create a folder cmd in the directory opened in step 1.
3. Create a python file named cmd.py with the following code in the cmd folder created in step 2.

import os, sublime_plugin
class CmdCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        file_name=self.view.file_name()
        path=file_name.split("\\")
        current_driver=path[0]
        path.pop()
        current_directory="\\".join(path)
        command= "cd "+current_directory+" & "+current_driver+" & start cmd"
        os.system(command)

1. Create a file named Context.sublime-menu with the following code in the cmd folder created in step 2.

[
     { "command": "cmd" }
]

1. Reopen Sublime Text 2

Now you can open the Cmd prompt at the current directory in the right-click context menu.

3. Open sublime text with Powershell

I added this to my PowerShell profile:

Set-Alias subl 'C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe'

4. Set sublime.exe to Path [ref]

set PATH with AutoRun

On Windows, you can do the same thing using the DOSKEY utility to create "macros" like this: "doskey ls=dir".

You'll need to configure your AutoRun registry value, in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor". I have my AutoRun set to "c:\dev\autorun.bat" which runs a variety of helpful utilities.

e.g. doskey subl="C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe" $*

• set PATH w/o AutoRun

I've created subl.bat in C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2 with contents:

start sublime_text.exe %*

Now that I have C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2 in PATH, I can simply type 'subl folder' and it works wonderfully without having to add anything to autostart.

• set PATH & link

Another idea would be to include C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\ in your PATH, and then run an administrator command prompt:

cd "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\"
mklink sublime.exe sublime_text.exe

I've had more success with a hardlink:

mklink /h c:\windows\system32\subl.exe "c:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\subl.exe"

That will make a symbolic link with the new name. And now you can use it freely:

sublime hello.txt

• set Environment variable w/o mess around Path

I think that is more easy set the Environment variable in Windows.

Then just add a new System variable called SUBLIME_HOME with value "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\" (without quotes) after edit the variable Path adding in the end this value ";%SUBLIME_HOME%"(without quotes).

Restart the git BASH and enjoy, using like this:

$ sublime_text mi-new-file
