ST4: Hide files in the statusbar file listing

#1

In the file type listing that you can pop up from the status bar there are quite a few that I don’t use and don’t really need to “see”. Is there a way to pare down the list?

You can put the default package that contributes that syntax (listed in the syntax menu) into the ignored_packages setting to remove that entry.

As an example, let’s say you don’t want to see C or C++ in the file type listings (syntax menu). Then just do
ignored_packages: ["C", "C++"] and those corresponding syntax entries will also be gone.

Note that you need to put the name of the package contributing that syntax, not the name of the syntax. In the above example, the syntax & the package happen to be of the same name.

As an aside, there isn’t a C package; the syntax for that language is included in the C++ package.
