Launch Browsers on Shortcut/Toolbar

#1

I have a cool request for Sublime Text 3. You see before installing it, I used Notepad++. As a new user, i’m not fully used to the toolbar yet, most of the options I know due to other text editors like N++ but the are some I’m not fully used to. Anyways, I was looking through the keybinds and I noticed that N++ has a feature which Sublime doesn’t, and that is the option to RUN the code (more specifically ones that DON’T need a compiler such as HTML).

In N++, there is a button called “Run” and clicking it will bring up a list of browsers with shortcuts, clicking any of these (which you have installed of course) will launch RUN the code on the selected tab of your document, opening up the browser which you selected. Looking through the keybinds and digging around online, I soon realised it didn’t have this feature. Maybe I’m blind because I’m still getting used to Sublime and haven’t found the variant of that N++ feature.

Also, I understand if it can’t be added and some of you might scream and say: “Well just open file explorer , go to the directory of the files and just launch them there after saving.” My reply to that is, for people who are lazy or just want easier way (eg if you close your folder and files, you have to go through all the clicking again xd). This is my suggestion, hope it gets considered! <3

The great thing about sublime is that if you want something that isn’t implemented, you can write a plugin for it.
In your case there already is. It’s called View In Browser.
