Scroll to the top and bottom of all opened docs

#1

I’m trying to write a .py file that will automatically scroll all open docs to the bottom or top with the code below.

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class ScrollAllOpenFiles(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
  def run(self, edit, **kwargs):
    window = sublime.active_window()
    views = window.views()
    for view in views:
      view.run_command("move_to", kwargs)

Along with this in the .sublime-menu file.

[
  { "caption": "-" },
  { "caption": "Scroll All Open Files to the Top", "command": "scroll_all_open_files", "args": {"to": "bof" }, "mnemonic": "T" },
  { "caption": "Scroll All Open Files to the Bottom", "command": "scroll_all_open_files", "args": {"to": "eof" }, "mnemonic": "B" },
  { "caption": "-" }
]

It doesn’t work when I have around 100 or so files open, is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

Quick bump to see if anyone has any ideas.

I still haven’t found a way to resolve it.

It works when I quickly hold Shift+Tab to tab through all the open docs. Then if I run this it’ll scroll to the top or the bottom.

Thanks in advance.

if you do some print logging and check the console when you have lots of tabs open, what do you see? the command is run for each view but the view isn’t scrolled?

I did tweak the code from the original post but it still doesn’t work until I Shift+Tab through them first.

Here’s my code that I ran with print logging.

import sublime, sublime_plugin

from datetime import datetime

class ScrollAllOpenFiles(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
  def run(self, view, **kwargs):
    for view in self.view.window().views():
      view.run_command("move_to", kwargs)
      view.run_command("move_to", {"extend": "false", "to": "bol"})
      current_time = datetime.now().time()
      print("View object: %s @ %s" % (view, current_time))

I have 131 docs open and it prints each out but it doesn’t scroll.

It’s looping through them so it must be an issue with the move_to part of the code.

I guess as you are manipulating multiple views, you should be using a window command, which may help - not sure, but worth trying

Not sure I follow. I cannot see any info on the window command.

I’ve tried this but still the same view.run_command('goto_line', {"line": 10000000})

import sublime, sublime_plugin
class ScrollAllOpenFiles(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
  def run(self, view):
    for view in self.view.window().views():
      view.run_command('goto_line', {"line": 0})

Just as a note, the second argument to the run method of a TextCommand is actually an Edit object; normally you would set that argument to be named edit and not view as you’ve done here because that gives an incorrect picture of what the argument actually represents. In a TextCommand, there’s one instance created for every view, and self.view represents the actual view that the command is running for.

The change that @kingkeith mentioned above relates to the fact that a TextCommand is for modifying the contents/visual state of a specific file (i.e. the one the that command is executed for). Normally one would use a WindowCommand for an operation that is going to do something that’s not related to a specific file, which is what you’re doing here.

The change to make would be to use sublime_plugin.WindowCommand as the base class. A WindowCommand has one instance created for each window (instead of for each file like TextCommand. For that reason it has a self.window instead of a self.view. It also can’t make any edits to files, so it does not get an edit argument passed to it’s run method.

That would make your second example look something like this:

import sublime, sublime_plugin
class ScrollAllOpenFiles(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
  def run(self):
    for view in self.window.views():
      view.run_command('goto_line', {"line": 0})

Thanks. @OdatNurd. This has the same issue with a large number of documents open. Even with only a few also.

It’s only when I Shift+Tab through the files and run this it’ll work.

I’ve tested this in a fresh build too and it has the same issue.

This basically what I was after only to try fix the issue:

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class ScrollAllOpenFiles(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self, **kwargs):
        for view in self.window.views():
            view.run_command("move_to", kwargs)
            view.run_command("move_to", {"extend": "false", "to": "bol"})
            view.run_command("show_at_center")

With my Tab Context.sublime-menu file like so:

[
  { "caption": "Scroll to the Top\t- [ All Open Files ]", "command": "scroll_all_open_files", "args": {"extend": false, "to": "bof"}, "mnemonic": "T" },
  { "caption": "Scroll to the Bottom\t- [ All Open Files ]", "command": "scroll_all_open_files", "args": {"extend": false, "to": "eof"}, "mnemonic": "B" }
]

If it works for a smaller number of files but not for a lot of them, I think I would consider that a bug; what works for n files should work for n+1 too.

That said, items in the Tab context menu may not always do what you want because they get special arguments to tell them what file is being targeted (since it can be different from the currently active file).

Do you get the same resulting if you bind the command to a key as well?

Hi, the same issue remains if I map it to a keyboard shortcut.

Is there anything wrong with the .py code in this case?

Nothing obvious that I can see. I didn’t try it myself, but if it works for a small number of files and not a larger number, that’s suspect because the number of files shouldn’t matter.

Thanks. I’ve created a bug report here.

Are you opening files as well? I can imagine a view for which is_loading() returns True would fail to execute the command.

No, just running the python code when the files are open.
