Let me apologize in advance for such a basic question, but I’m having trouble installing ColorPicker on Windows. I downloaded the ZIP file from https://github.com/weslly/ColorPicker, and then unpacked the ZIP into Sublime Text 3 > Installed Packages folder to no avail. I also tried unpacking to Sublime Text 3 > Packages > User. After closing down and restarting the editor, ctrl + shift + c has no effect…
What am I missing, I’m new to installing packages.
Kind regards.
The package also offers the command through the command palette by the name of Color Picker. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and type its name.
The key binding should be not working because some other settings file is already defining these same key. You should find which one is it and disable it/change the key. For now, search on the User key bindings file for this keystroke. If you do not find it, put it on your user settings file:
{"caption": "Color Picker", "command": "color_pick"},
the readme, which states
Install this repository via Package Control.
downloading the zip is not recommended, because you have to manually take into account that you don’t want any additional subfolders before the main content, as ST doesn’t load plugins in nested subfolders.
if you put it in the Installed Packages folder, you should not unpack it - just rename the .zip to .sublime-package - if you want to unpack it, then unpack it to Packages/ColorPicker instead (again taking into account the nested subfolders)
