When I have 30+ files open I am finding it easy to “lose” files and have to take a long time to scan the OPEN FILES list with my eyes to find files I know I already have open. I am finding it easier sometimes (because the FOLDERS tree is organized by path) to go there and click the file again. But this is awfully time consuming.
Thus, I would very much like to be able to programmatically access the OPEN FILES list and perhaps create a Package that would offer the ability to sort the list and modify the coloring of individual items (with the side effect that the TABs [Sheets] also get sorted).
Examples I would find VERY useful: sort by:
- full path (this groups related files together)
- filename
- file extension
And I would like to be able to color individual items based on the top-level directory in the full-path sort, thus causing files from “different projects” or different “mount points” in the FOLDERS list to have different foreground and/or background colors.
I have looked through the classes defined in sublime.py and sublime_plugin.py but haven’t found anything that looks promising yet.
