SidebarHoverToggle - Toggles the sidebar, based on where you mouse is hovering

#1

Hi Guys,

This is my first plugin (and a super simple one at that), but working on half of my screen in Sublime, it’s nice to not always have the sidebar taking up a bunch of space.

What this plugin does
When working on your code, the sidebar will be closed. If you want to do anything in the sidebar, simply hover over the gutter, and the sidebar will open up again.

The plugin is currently not available through package control, but I did create a pull request, and hope to see it pop up in the list soon.

For now, you can follow the simple steps as given in the repository here: https://github.com/Skullsneeze/SidebarHoverToggle.

Feel free to share any suggestions!

You might want to check out this thread Fun plugin idea: Auto hide/show sidebar (hover events) and also the latest version here: https://github.com/facelessuser/SublimeRandomCrap/blob/master/autosidebar.py.

I actually went down this road and there are a number of funny corner cases I worked around.

Wow, I’ve been looking for a while, but couldn’t find anything like this. Looks really good, and seems to take a lot more stuff into account. Thanks for sharing :slightly_smiling:

FYI, my intention is not to take away from your release (I have no intention to release mine on Package Control). My intention was to showcase things to consider; such as, there was a couple of times I brought up a view that hid the gutter, and then I couldn’t get to the sidebar. Anyways, glad to see someone running with this same idea.

Greetings!
Thank you for the plugin.

Tell me how to change the switch delay time. Default for a long time :frowning:
