In the majority of programs and sites it is possible to switch between input and textarea fields by means of combinations of the Tab and Shift+Tab keys.
But in Sublime Text Tab — tabulation.
For example, for me open Goto Line Panel and console.
May I move between entry fields and my text also as in the majority of programs becomes by means of keyboard combinations of Tab and Shift+Tab? I know, what the Tab and Shift+Tab keys is needed for tabulation, but any combination of keys can be used to move between input and textarea fields.
Thanks.
TAB will not work but this can be achieved by series of shortcuts:
Opening line selector: Ctrl+G
Opening search: Ctrl+F
Going from search to founded string: Alt+Enter
Shortcuts above are available on Linux version. They may be different on Windows but they are there and can be found in online documentation.
With Sublime Text you can personalize your shortcut!
I found this guide on the official website and this "different but useful" question about it.
So you can create your own sort of switch with comfortable combination. Example:
alt+1 to go to search
alt+2 to go to the text
alt+3 to go to the bottom
...
this is also faster then the "tag way" because it is not cyclic!
i haven't tried it but as mentioned by Draco the commands to move exist so you can just make them more comfortable.

I'm developing a Sublime Text 3 plugin which uses the quick panel a.k.a. the command palette.
I would like to add a textual title/label at the top of the quick panel when the user opens my plugin's quick panel menu, because my plugin runs in various modes and I want to make it clear which mode is currently running (Test, Pre-Live, Live, etc.)
Is this possible, and how?
This a mockup of what I want to achieve:
This is not possible in a quick panel, no. The only thing you can provide to the quick panel display-wise is the list of items that you want the user to choose from. Each item in the list can contain multiple lines of data however (with the restriction that every row has to contain the same number of lines):
Something like that could potentially be used to provide context on the items in the list that allows the user to know what mode you're in.
The Command Palette and the quick panel aren't the same thing (although they are visually similar); the command palette only displays commands that you can choose. By using an input handler, you can customize the display somewhat:
In this sample, View Package File is the selected command, but the command has control over what that text says (it's just the command name by default). You also have the power to provide a "preview" (basically any extra information that you want) about the currently selected item:
So given that, depending on your use case your command could present its interface in the command palette to give this kind of contextual clue.
Every time I open a new tab in SublimeText I have to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse to move the newly opened tab to the desired position among the existing tabs...
Surely there must be a keyboard shortcut for moving SublimeText Tabs left and/or right?
Please say yes...
Not by default unfortunately, but there are two awesome things about Sublime to be aware of:
This plugin https://github.com/SublimeText/MoveTab will let you move tabs with CTRL + Shift + page up/down
You can go to any tab by pressing ctrl+p and typing the name of the tab, so if your tabs are disorganized, you don't have to visually search for them or organize them as long as you know the name of the file you want (or a substring of it if it's unique enough)
It seems as if there are no shortcuts to do this.
You can see all actions and their shortcuts in the command palette (Ctrl+p on Windows). There is no such action as Move this tab to the left.
The good news, however, is that there is a plugin that does exactly this:
https://github.com/SublimeText/MoveTab
You can install it using Package Control.
I've been looking for the answer for quite some time now. This is a project I have but I can't manage to find a way to do it. The main idea would be to plug an additional keyboard on my computer that write multiple letters by hitting only one key. For example, instead of writing down a (when I hit the a key), it would write \textbf{ (for example).
I already manage to find the keyboard layout file under Linux and to switch the a and b keys, but I cannot find a way to print multiple characters.
I know it exist editors (like Texmaker or Kile) that have auto-completion, but I'm most of the time working in project in groups and therefore we use writelatex.com which does not propose auto-completion in it's free user pack ! Besides, I'm doing that for my personal interest.
Thanks a lot.
Have a look at autokey. It can assign phrases to hotkeys. It requires X11.
Another option might be to use a powerful text editor like vim or emacs which both have features like this, and then copy/paste the text into writelatex.com.
Some browsers have add-ons that allow you to edit the contents of a text field on a web page with a chosen text editor.
Edit: In Xorg you can use the X KeyBoard extension to e.g. change the meaning of individual keys. While you can configure the keyboard to generate (multibyte) unicode characters, you cannot assign arbitraty character strings to one key, to the best of my knowledge.
Is there a hot key to toggle the search context/location in the "Find"/"Find in Files" commands (Ctr+F and Shift+Ctrl+F respectively )? I'm talking about the drop down that asks where to search for example Current Project, Current Document, Entire Solution etc.
"Find" is probably my most used feature since working with markup and CSS very often I can't just F12 to a selector definition or Shift+F12 to Find Usages, a regular text search is really the only option and I want to make this as efficient as possible.
Yes, I can tab to it but this takes 6-tabs and if I do it fast, often get the count wrong and prematurely execute bad searches; so it's not cutting it.
If there isn't a hotkey how can I set one? Ctrl + F3 would work well since F3 is "Find Next"
Thanks
I'm not sure if there is a command in Visual Studio that does what you are looking for.
If there is one, you can set the shortcut key in the Tools\Options menu (Environment\Keyboard).
In the screenshot, I'm searching for all the VS command that contain "find". Perhaps one of these is what you need.
Then move to the Press shortcut keys textbox and choose your desired key binding.
How can I get tabs in gVim to work like they do in most good IDEs? I say gVim specifically because that is the version of Vim that I use but I am open to alternatives.
I want the following things for my tabs:
Ctrl+Tab goes to the MRU (most recently used) tab.
Holding down Ctrl and then pressing Tab multiple times continues to change to the next most recently used tab every time you press Tab.
When ctags are built and working and you press Ctrl+], if this takes you to a different file it should open that file in a new tab or if a tab with that file is already open it should switch to that one.
Easy tab reordering with the mouse just by dragging them around.
I am posting all these as a single question because I am hoping there is a good single solution that will do all or most of these things instead of having to hack each customization in individually. I would think this would be the preferred behavior by most of us.
Vim has no built in MRU. There is at least one plugin for that, though, but I've never used it.
The tabs in Vim are not the same as the tabs in your IDE, they are more like perspectives. The equivalent of your IDE's tabs in Vim are buffers and "(split)windows". There are a number of ways to work with buffers including some native ones and a number of third party plugins. Some of these plugins have MRU-like features.
The Vim wiki has a bunch of pages about tabs.
