Run arbitrary shell commands in Sublime

#1

Build systems are a pretty useful feature of Sublime, but for a lot of projects it’s easier to just have a quick way of running arbitrary shell commands. If you’re on a Ruby project, for instance, it’s pretty wonky to create a build system for “rake”, “test”] and “rake”, “test:units”] and “rake”, “test:functionals”] etc.

I created plugin that’s turned out to be pretty handy for me, and it’s dead simple. Ctrl+Shift+C (Cmd+Shift+C) brings up a “shell” prompt right within Sublime. You can download it and check out out some documentation/screenshots here:

Cheers,
Trent

I don’t see this listed in package control currently. Any plan of getting this into package control?

Thank you so much for this plugin. Quick question. How would you set your bin path to something else like “path”: “/usr/local/bin:$PATH” ?

I have this gist.github.com/801c5fac14fe6f0441db but then no commands will run at all…

I modified the file Shell Turtlestein.sublime-settings to add the paths needed, and I can now run a shell command within Sublime.

{ // Override these in your own // `Packages/User/Shell Turtlestein.sublime-settings` file. "surround_cmd": "", ""], "exec_args": {"path": "/usr/texbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH"}, "cmd_settings": ], "input_widget": { // overridden for silly non-unixy OSes "syntax": "Packages/ShellScript/Shell-Unix-Generic.tmLanguage" } }

I don’t have a github account, so I’am posting here:
I made some modification in the replace method:

-        if region_start is not None and region_end is not None:
-            self.view.replace(edit, sublime.Region(region_start, region_end), text.strip())
+        if region_start and region_end:

         else:
             self.view.insert(edit, 0, text)

This fixes a problem when the selection starts at the beginning of the view and removes the trailing new line from the new text.
