Remove build output from window/file

[alexs77]

Hi

From time to time, I accidentally hit Ctrl+B, which invokes the “build” option (which I never ever need, because I’m not “building” something).

It’ll then leave error messages like the following in the window:

That’s annoying.

How do I get rid of this?

Thanks,
Alexander

you could disable show_errors_inline in your user preferences, and it won’t show inline build errors any more - it will just show an output panel that you can easily close instead.

But that would disable it completely, right?

Although I said, that I never ever need it — how do I get rid of the output, if it’s already there?

How to hide Sublime inline build errors?

These are called phantoms. In theory, they are controlled by the show_errors_inline setting, which defaults to true, so turning it off stops this from happening altogether: // Shows build errors just under the line on which they occur. "show_errors_inline": true, I say "in theory" because this setting only applies to build systems that don't go out of their way to subvert it. For example. all of the build systems that ship with Sublime work as expected, but the TypeScript plugin igno…

Well, but suppose that show_errors_inline is true… Now you’re editing the file. But these errors are/might be annoying (maybe you want to show the file to a colleagure, or whatever).

So, while show_errors_inline is certainly useful, isn’t there a way to remove the output? I mean, I’ve seen the error, thanks, now “leave me alone”, I know how to fix it, but you’re in my way (I’m talking to sublime G).

the post I linked shows how to create a keybinding to hide the errors

ctrl+alt+shift+c doesn’t seem to do anything at all on Ubuntu 16.04 (using the just lately released new version of Sublime 3).

Got it

I needed to add that custom keybinding

Thanks a lot, this helped
