Opening a file within Sublime by it's full pathname rather than the file dialog?

#1

Often I’m working on a file and I may want to open up a second file in a location very different than the first. I could traverse through the file system using the File->Open dialog but that can be very tedious. I’d rather just cut and paste the path somewhere.
Does Sublime support this?

Thanks,

Most OSes let you paste full paths in to the open dialog - you may need to switch to the location bar first i.e. with Ctrl+L on many Linux distros which hide the location bar’s input/text box by default…
Alternatively, this would be a trivial one line plugin. There may be something already existing for this.

Ah ha! Yes thanks for this! That indeed does bring up the path input/text box. :smiley:
