Run Multiple Commands.. Command

#4

If you just want to put the selected text into the find panel, you can also hit cmd+e.

Yeah, but that doesn’t show the find panel nor select the current word. It does mean I could add an extra command to the above binding, but otherwise it doesn’t actually do what’s needed.

I agree with you. :smile:

Thanks for this plugin! Is it possible to implement setting a delay between commands? For example, to execute a command after build requires a couple of seconds of waiting before the building process finishes.
UPDATE:
here’s how it goes - we need to change the* # skip args if not needed* if-else block to:

# skip args if not needed if args is None: sublime.set_timeout(lambda: context.run_command(command'command']),2000) else: sublime.set_timeout(lambda: context.run_command(command'command'], args),2000)
Would be better if we could set a delay before a certain command in the key bindings file, but this version basically works too.

Hi Nilium,

Thanks a lot for the code - nice job!

I have used it to have a ( simple ) 2 Columns Layout Management - see gist.github.com/StefanoRausch/4953979.

Cheers

Thank you for the plugin – greatly appreciated !!! This is a really easy method to chain together predefined plugins.

Problem execute Multiple_Commands: "Split_selection_into_lines"
#10

After several hours of experimenting, I was unable to get the lambda timeout code to work with this particular plugin. I ended up including a lambda timeout statement within the particular plugin that was being chained as a workaround. If anyone could please provide a few keymap examples of how to use the lambda timeout code proposed by sashabe, that would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t have any example, but I’m not really sure what sashabe was trying to do. Using set_timeout will in fact cause the commands to be delayed by the specified time. But note that the method will return immediately. The subsequent commands will be issued with the the same timeout, but issued “instantaneously”, so I don’t think you would get the delay between commands you want. I could be wrong though, I didn’t test it. I was linking to this post and decided to browse through the thread while I was at it :smile:

Yes, skuroda, that does indeed explain the behavior I was experiencing with the sashabe code modification. Thank you.

Hi everybody, it’s the same sashabe, I was forced to register under new user name because the forum doesn’t allow you to reset passwords if forgotten.
Here’s a bit modified version of plugin which allows custom delays to be given for each executed command. If no argument is present the delay=0.
To skuroda - I experienced no problems with delay working on Windows and Mac.

        {"command": "prev_view", "context": "window","delay":0}

Multiple command with custom delay for each
#14

I just ran your plugin (replaced sftp_upload_file with save and changed the context accordingly). The save occurs after 2.5 seconds. I think lawlist wanted the commands to occur in such a way that the save would execute after 5 seconds had passed. I tested on W7 x64 build 3046.

Hi.

I tried this to execute a bash script on save (synching files to a remote server). However, only the save command is executed. Does this solution work with external scripts?


  { "keys": "f2"], 
    "command": "run_multiple_commands",
    "args": {
      "commands": 
        { 
          "command": "save" 
        },
        { 
          "command": "exec", 
          "args": { "cmd": "/Users/myusername/scripts/myscript"] }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]

Binding the script alone to a key does work and I can see it being executed in the Sublime Text console.

So, as far as I can tell this functionality is basically fundamental to being able to define repeated commands, i.e. this is the equivalent of concatenation in a vimscript map.

Will this become the standard way of scripting keys for vintage mode or all of sublime text? It would appear that the alternative is to extract out whatever behavior it is you want and make a whole plugin for it, which is perhaps not completely absurd but a heckuva lot more work than e.g. writing a new vim bind in the vimrc!

Even defining the new JSON definition using this plugin is much harder than in most anything else… I just really wish there was a more clean way to do it.

I really appreciate the work to make this function, though. Good job. :smiley:

Is there any way to get this working with ST3?

I’ve tried placing it in the same folder as I do in my ST2 (where it works like charm), but I’m not able to get it working…

Any help?

Thanks!

Nilium: is this available as a standalone package? If not, would you be up for making one or okay if I made one?
Thanks!

I’m trying to use chained commands with SublimeREPL but it’s not working, any tips?


	{"keys": "ctrl+alt+b"],
	 	"command": "run_multiple_commands",
	 	"args": {
	 		"commands": 
	 			{"command": "save"},
	 			{"command": "run_existing_window_command", "args": {
		 				"id": "repl_python_run",
		    			"file": "config/Python/Main.sublime-menu"	
		 			}
	 			}
	    	]
		}
	}
]

I tried the Chain of Command package, but doesn’t work too.

I tried. The first command works, the save, but the next command is not executed…

I’m using ST3, I don’t know if can be a compatibility issue.

I’m sorry, this is a big thread. I though it was a orphan question.

With “context”: “window”, in both commands, it works, sorry. You should make a package of it, the Chain of Command package doesn’t work like this.

Thanks!
