I’m back on Sublime (4169) after a few years on Intelli-J island, and I’m obessed with how fast everything runs. That said, one thing is driving me bonkers at the moment: my “hidden” tabs reappearing when I move the mouse.
I do not want to see the tabs of my open files. Ever. If I need to navigate to opened files, I’ll do that via the command pallette. Can someone please help restore my santiy and show me how to accomplish this?
In Preferences.sublime-settings, I have "auto_hide_menu": true,
If you want the tab bar to just always be gone, you probably want to use View > Hide Tabs from the menu. The state of that is window specific, and is saved in the session/workspace file, so depending on the state of things you may need to do it a few times until it’s off everywhere.
Thanks for reponse @OdatNurd,
I’ve closed all opened tabs, closed Sublime and re-opened. The View > Hide Tabs works, but they come back as soon as I move the mouse.
Could there a plugin / package file that’s causing this? If so, how would I debug to find out?
I’m using the Material Theme plugin, but I’ve disable that and tested it with a core theme and it’s functioning the same
Possibly a plugin could be doing that; there’s also a setting that causes hidden tabs to reappear when you move the mouse, but it defaults to being turned off:
// These settings hide various parts of the UI automatically when typing.
// Moving the mouse will show them again.
"auto_hide_menu": false,
"auto_hide_tabs": false,
"auto_hide_status_bar": false,
You could see if the same thing happens in Safe Mode to narrow in on whether it is a config/plugin issue or something inherently wrong.
