Goto symbol: scroll to top

[devinemke]

I am running ST 4200 on macOS 15.5.

When invoking goto symbol via Command + R, ST scrolls to that symbol, but centers it on the screen (assuming there is scrollable space up and down). Is there a setting that will scroll so that the symbol is at the top of the screen/viewport?

For example: In these 2 attached images I am going to symbol example_5() on line #85.
The 1st image shows what happens currently: scrolled to center.
The 2nd image shows what I wish to happen: example_5() at the top of the screen.

there is no setting but likely a quick plugin override would be all that is required

• Install OverrideAudit package if you haven’t already
• Open Command Palette
• OverrideAudit: Open Resource
• Packages/Default/symbol.py
• find the scroll_to function definition
• change True to False for the show_surrounds argument to https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/api_reference.html#sublime.View.show
• Save your changes
• Try Goto Symbol again now
