My Build System List is very long requiring scrolling and custom Builds are being created, extending the list further. How might I create a nested multi level hierarchy of Builds? Even to colour coding the titles.
Create hierarchy of Build scripts

Build systems are basically just presented by an ordinary quick panel in a flat list expecting the user to be able to quickly narrow down relevant items via fuzzy search - same as for command palette.
A plugin could however manually create an alternative quick panel which supports IntputHandlers to add multiple layers. It would require to manually aggregate all .sublime-build files, parse them and present information in desired ways.

Thanks for tips but fuzzy search assumes that you have some fuzzy idea of what you are searching for in first place. I prefer to look at a menu. And so in my unconventional style I plan to yank them (sublime-build) out of Subl. place into a folder viewed by Krusader, and injected back again on a “just in time” basis when building. Krusader is a nice “paired” app. I might do same with other sublime types. Basically an orchestrator of Subl since for me Subl gets top heavy with its richness of packages and plugins. A buddy app or two helps. Trawled sublime-build files (using Krusader as trawl net) are now aggregated in Krusader panel for deployment.
Progress report. Moved all my custom User sublime-snippets into ~/Data-Vault and I can use Krusader to work on them. UserActions available. Similar ploy with Albert snippets to follow later. Likewise sublime-build. Krusader and Albert only for Ubuntu but I am sure that other dual-panel editors in Windows and Mac can follow suit for pairing.
