API reference example plugins are missing

#1

The API reference example plugins are missing on my local installation.

None of the files listed are present under ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Default/. How can i reinstall them?

Is this something we should add to https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages?

ST uses the concept of “resource” files. These live in a kind of virtual file-system. Paths in this virtual file-system look like this:

  • Packages/Default/exec.py
  • Packages/Default/symbols.py

In order to open these virtual/resource paths, you can run the command

View Package File

and type the name of the resource path.

To figure out which real file-path corresponds to a virtual resource path, read https://docs.sublimetext.io/guide/extensibility/packages.html#package-locations-and-abbreviations
