Is there a way to display the tab number in the tab bar?
I enjoy using Alt + 1 or Alt + 2 etc. to switch between open tabs, however it can get taxing to have to count out the tabs (for me anyway). It would be nice if the tabs had numbers.
You might be able to write a plugin for it but there is no such standard feature, as of the latest version, Build 3083, in ST3.
Edit: I would recommend using https://github.com/travmik/ZenTabs to easily manage tabs

I want to add a feature of making text super- or subscript to a WYSIWYG text editor in my web application and I need to set up hotkeys for it. Popular editors like Microsoft Word use Ctrl+Shift+= for superscript and Ctrl+= for subscript, but I can't use those since they trigger browser native zoom. Of course, I have separated buttons for super- and subscript and I will add hints to them, but I'd still like to make hotkeys as convenient as possible. Is there another common combination for these features?
Alternative Hotkeys
Ctrl + . for superscript and Ctrl + , for subscript are acceptable alternatives. (full stop / period and comma). They are the defaults set for Google Docs so familiarity will be reasonably high.
Accessibility Considerations
You cannot assume that any key is 'safe' as people may change their hotkeys to their preference.
For this reason you should always give people the option to change shortcut keys themselves in a settings menu (which should be easy to access).
You should also give people the option to toggle hotkeys on and off (yet again making the hotkey for that toggle customisable to their preference).
A lot of the time people come unstuck because they use a hotkey that overlaps with a screen reader hotkey and the hotkey doesn't work so make sure you consider the above before implementing hotkeys.
Also make it clear what hotkey is set for each item (to both sighted and screen reader users).
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.
If I select a word in one pane, this word doesn't highlight in other.
How can I make highlighting in both panes?
I don't think it's possible using ST out of the box.
BUT, I'm pretty sure using the SublimeText Plugin API you can write a custom plugin to achieve this.
Have not seen any plugin that can do this till now.
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.
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.
