Tried this one but didn’t work like I would wanted
It somehow made 3 row layout of the sublime text 3.
How about solution that if you have > n tabs, they would just show in a two or three rows so you could still read the tab filenames ?
Ps. Programming with small macbook it’s not fun
Thats how it works when it works correctly. Please see the gif in the first post. For ST3 you should take the code from a later post.
Just a post to conclude the ST2 and ST3 code and to show how it should work.
Here is the how it works (animated gif needs to be supported by your browser; first seconds show ST without multi-row, then it is enabled):
This is the plugin code for ST2
import sublime, sublime_plugin
multi_col_layout = 1
class MultiColumnTabBarCommand(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_activated(self,view):
a=sublime.active_window()
b=a.get_view_index(view)
if (b[0] == 0) and (multi_col_layout == 1):
a.run_command("set_layout",{"cols": [0.0 ,1],"rows": [0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 1.0],"cells": [[0, 2, 1, 3],[0, 0, 1, 1],[0, 1, 1, 2]]})
if b[0] == 1 and (multi_col_layout == 1):
a.run_command("set_layout",{"cols": [0.0 ,1],"rows": [0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 1.0],"cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1],[0, 2, 1, 3],[0, 1, 1, 2]]})
if b[0] == 2 and (multi_col_layout == 1):
a.run_command("set_layout",{"cols": [0.0 ,1],"rows": [0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 1.0],"cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1],[0, 1, 1, 2], [0, 2, 1, 3]]})
class ToggleMultiColLayoutCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self,edit):
global multi_col_layout
if (multi_col_layout == 1):
multi_col_layout = 0
print "Multi Column switch disabled"
elif (multi_col_layout == 0):
multi_col_layout = 1
print "Multi Column switch enabled"
class DisableMultiColLayoutCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self,edit):
global multi_col_layout
multi_col_layout = 0
print "Multi Column switch disabled"
class EnableMultiColLayoutCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self,edit):
global multi_col_layout
multi_col_layout = 1
print "Multi Column switch enabled"
This is the plugin code for ST3
from collections import defaultdict
import sublime_plugin
enabled_map = defaultdict(lambda: True)
#modify this parameter to configure height of tab rows
bar_height = 0.025
class MultiColumnTabBarCommand(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_activated(self, view):
id_ = view.window().id()
if not enabled_map[id_]:
return
window = view.window()
group, _ = window.get_view_index(view)
if group == 0:
window.run_command("set_layout",{"cols": [0.0 ,1],"rows": [0.0, bar_height, bar_height*2, 1.0],"cells": [[0, 2, 1, 3],[0, 0, 1, 1],[0, 1, 1, 2]]})
elif group == 1:
window.run_command("set_layout",{"cols": [0.0 ,1],"rows": [0.0, bar_height, bar_height*2, 1.0],"cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1],[0, 2, 1, 3],[0, 1, 1, 2]]})
elif group == 2:
window.run_command("set_layout",{"cols": [0.0 ,1],"rows": [0.0, bar_height, bar_height*2, 1.0],"cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1],[0, 1, 1, 2],[0, 2, 1, 3]]})
class ToggleMultiColLayoutCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
id_ = self.window.id()
enabled_map[id_] ^= True
if enabled_map[id_]:
print("Multi Column switch enabled")
else:
print("Multi Column switch disabled")
class DisableMultiColLayoutCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
id_ = self.window.id()
enabled_map[id_] = False
print("Multi Column switch disabled")
class EnableMultiColLayoutCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
id_ = self.window.id()
enabled_map[id_] = True
print("Multi Column switch enabled")
class ResetLayoutCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
id_ = self.window.id()
enabled_map[id_] = False
self.window.run_command("set_layout",{"cols": [0.0 ,1],"rows": [0.0, 1.0],"cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1]]})
print("Multi Column disabled and layout reset to standard")

Hello, there.
I’m using Sublime Text 3 and I see 3 row tabs.
As I understand active tab always located in last row. For example I have these:
tab1 | tab2 | tab3
tab 4 | tab5 | tab6
tab 7 | tab8 | tab9
When I click tab1 location of tabs changes to:
tab 7 | tab8 | tab9
tab 4 | tab5 | tab6
tab1 | tab2 | tab3
Analogically with second row tabs.
Question: is it possible to change behaviour of active tab? So when I click tab1 it doesn’t change location of all tabs just focuses on it?
No, the active tab will have to be exactly above the view it represents. There is no way around that without this being supported natively, and I don’t see that happening soon.
That said, I could imagine disabling the native tab view and instead faking tabs using phantoms in an unsaved view. Then you can lift this limitation.
