Limit Sublime Text 4 to one copy

#1

I cannot seem to get Sublime Text 4 to open files in an existing instance rather than starting another copy of the app. I found this in the settings:

// On Mac, this value is overridden in the platform specific settings.
"open_files_in_new_window": "never",

What name is this file supposed to be and where should it be located? I am running MacOS Monterey.

Thanks!

How are you opening the files?

Launching from Forklift (a mac file management app).

Have you configured it to launch the application or is it running the sublime_text executable directly?

Configured to launch, how would I launch Sublime Text 4 directly (Mac) from the command line?

From the command line you’d use the command line tool as described here: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/command_line.html, or the open command for launching an application.
