Conditional Context Menus?

#1

Is it possible to create conditional context menus, specifically on tab context menus? For example based on the file extension, or partial path matching?

Thanks in advance!

For the command, you can define an is_visible method. Return True if you want the method to appear in the context menu, return False if not.

Yes! That was exactly what I needed. I can’t believe I missed that. Thank you! :smile:

Can you give an example of how to implement this method?

I’m a bit of a Sublime theme noob. But would like to create a simple theme for my students that just lights up the folders in a Rails app: For example the “Model” folder might have a yellow background, and the “View” might have a blue background. I think that would be helpful for teaching!

Thanks so much.

Hi castig, it sounds like you want to conditionally color the side bar. As far as I know, that isn’t possible in ST. msinclar’s question is aimed at conditionally showing menu options.

Thanks for explaining @skuroda

I posted a feature request for an “educational theme” with conditional themeing here:

If you like it vote it up! Thanks so much
