Block plugins from closing Command Palette and App Menu

#1

Sublime Text starts very fast (which is great!) and then loads plugins in the background

However, there is one issue with the plugins that prevents proper use of that very fast startup - on load some plugins refresh UI, so they break these two common actions you could do right after startup:

  • open Command Palette (yes, it will not have all the commans since not all the plugins are loaded, but sometimes you just need to use the default commands, so not a big deal)
  • open some top app menu

Both of these UI elements get closed after some plugin loading action or Sublime Text’s post-loading refresh to add new commands/menu items from plugins, not sure what exactly is going on

Is there a way to block that interference? If I open an app menu item, I want that menu to remain open no matter what plugins do. Same for Command palette (let the refresh happen after these elements are closed)

The only way to fix this is to find the plugin responsible and remove/fix it. You can use the "ignored_packages" setting to narrow down which package is causing issues.

That’s unfortunate. Do you know which APIs trigger such a refresh to help narrow it down within a plugin?

Could be many things, I’m not sure.
