I'm looking for a way to delete from the system (not just remove from the opened session) a given file, within Sublime 3 (3103).
The file in question is opened in Sublime, and shows in the sidebar in a Group.
I've installed the Sidebar Enhancements but this only adds the option, in the context menu, to delete a file that is opened within a Folder.
For files in Groups, right clicking on its name in the sidebar only shows the options: Close, Close Others, Close Others Below, New File, Open File.
Is there some way of performing this rather simple task that I might be missing?
Try:
TabsExtra
It gives you the ability to delete files from tab right-click menus.

I am using Sublime Text editor and I need to change the settings for Sublime 3 to open files that start with a dot like .gitignore. Please let me know where in the settings I need to make the change. I am using Windows OS fyi.
This isn't a Sublime-specific option, but an operating system one, as the OS determines what is displayed in file dialogs as well as the file system explorer. To set the option on Windows, first open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder containing the dotfile you want to view. Then, in the View tab, click the Options button on the far right, then select Change folder and search options.
You can also find Options under the File menu.
The Options window will now pop up. Select the View tab, then select the option Show hidden files, folders, and drives. Next, click on the Apply to Folders button at the top.
Similar options are also available on macOS and Linux.
When I switch between files (Using ctrl-n for examples) in different editors, intellij always opens the file in the original editor the tab for the file is located. Coming from a vim background this seems counter intuitive for me. Is there a way to force intellij to always open the file in the same editor window?

When using Ctrl-Shift-N to open the desired file, Shift-Enter to confirm will maintain the focused tab group.
If you open a couple folders in Sublime Text 3, you'll see entries for each folder added to the Window menu. It appears that the default format of each entry on the menu is:
(active-filename) - (foldername)
The list on the Window menu is sorted alphabetically starting with (active-filename). Whenever you select a file to work on, the (active-filename) part of the entry changes, and the list reorders itself. If you have a dozen Windows open, the position of a given window in the list will change all the time as you work with files. This makes it hard to find a window when repeatedly switching between Windows.
Is there a way to configure Sublime Text 3 to display only the folder name in the list on the Windows menu? Alternatively, is there a way to configure it to sort on folder name and not on the ever-changing "active" filename?
Unfortunately there open issues around this but no attention form the SublimeText Team yet

I'm using MacOS 10.12.
I open a folder in Sublime Text 3 and I click a file.
The file then appears as a tab on the right side.
If I don't edit it and try to open another file, the previous one will be replaced by the new file.
My question is: how do I open the second one without having to edit the first one?
For now, my solution is to press a blankspace and delete it in the first file (so nothing changes here). And then open the second file.
This is annoying, and I figure there might be a better solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
By default, the following preference is set:
// Preview file contents when clicking on a file in the side bar. Double
// clicking or editing the preview will open the file and assign it a tab.
"preview_on_click": true,
This means that a single left click on a file in the sidebar will open a preview/transient tab. Single left clicking on another file will replace that tab with a preview of the new file. As you have noticed, editing the file in some way will convert the tab from a preview to a persistent tab. Setting this preference to false will mean that single clicking will do nothing. There is currently no option to get the file to open in a persistent tab from a single click.
Regardless of this preference, double left clicking will open the file in a tab that will stay.
Today my Sublime 3083 became corrupted! I don't know why but every time I click on a file it opens on the same tab!
I cannot open two tabs at the same time. Fist file opens in a new tab and another opens in the previous tab and so on!
I did not installed any plugins recently. I just selected "Close Other Tabs" on menu.
What can I do?
Thanks
You must open the file using double click. If you open it using single click then you're using a feature called file preview, and that file will be closed when you preview other file unless the file has changes.
In addition, in the settings file you can set the preview_on_click option to false to disable the preview option; if you do that a click on the file won't do nothing, and a double click will still open the file in a new tab. As far as I know there's no option to open the file with a single click, only you can 'preview' the file (it's similar to open but the file get closed if you preview another file). Example setting:
{
"preview_on_click": false
}
I was facing a similar but little different problem. I was not able to view any tabs I was opening, and it was always opening a new file.
I fixed it by "View" -> "Show Tabs".
