How can I create new symbolic locations for search? e.g <project>, etc

#1

I’m working with a large video game project that has a sprawling directory structure. There is a large base engine directory and a base game data directory (among others) and these are supplemented by a host of plugin folders which build on the base elements.

If I want to search all engine-related files, all ability-related files, all npc-related files, etc, (no matter whether in the base game or one of the plugins) then the search syntax tends to get a bit complicated.

One solution seems to be extending the “symbolic location” functionality of Sublime’s search, whereby I can search through files in specific pre-defined categories, e.g. [project], [open files] or [open files]

I would like to create new [engine], [talents], [npcs] etc. symbolic locations for my project.

How do I go about this?

Also, if anyone could tell me how to input angular brackets on the Sublime forum, that’d be immensely appreciated!

text in forum posts is formatted in Markdown, which means (some) HTML is supported - thus angle brackets and text inside them are often not displayed. You can mark them as code using backticks like: `<test>`
