Dev build 3116 introduced “Hovering over a symbol” shows a popup. This is really nice, however if a link it chosen in the popup, it always opens a copy of the appropriate file – even if it’s already open in another pane. Can’t the open files be checked to see if it’s in another pane and jump to that? Am I the only one using this very cool feature?!
show_definitions behavior
maybe its enough to edit the Packages/Default/symbol.py
open_location
method and remove the FORCE_GROUP
flag? Alternatively, one could use the window.find_open_file
API method along with window.focus_view
method.
I actually only get totally useless info in the definitions dropdown. Just another feature to disable.
The feature is way to buggy.
Reasons why I think this should be ‘false’ per default.
- sometimes it opens, sometimes it doesn’t
- content is useless
- distracts from work
Why can’t sublime just be super low level and do a few thing good while the rest is just addons.
Who really needs definitions? pretty sure it’s less than 50% of the users.
Issues like these cost time because I have to google for this new “bug” then disable and try to remember what I was previously working on.
I use it and I like it. It could probably use some usability improvements however, like prioritizing symbols of the same language and grouping symbols by language in general.
