Sublime brower build-in

#1

Recently i have tried bracket.io text editor and found out that the text editor itself has a build-in preview area, extremely helpful because i don’t have to waste time to “Alt + tab” to see the result when fixing the code.I want to ask if we can do this in sublime text? Which plug-in should i use to make the change.

I want to refer somehting like this:

And if sublime currently not support this feature then i hope the dev team will integrate at the latest patch.
Thanks and best regard!

Why do you need to alt+tab? if you want the preview pane on the right hand side, why not just arrange your sublime and browser windows the same way or have the browser on a different monitor to sublime?

personally I don’t want a built-in browser, it would add bloat and wouldn’t help answer the question of how the page looks in a real-world browser like Chrome or Firefox

You can use Emmet LiveStyle.

I haven’t worked with it yet, but you can probably find some tutorials for setting it up with Sublime Text on Google or Youtube.

Thanks for your advice but the trick you mention it is just temporarily a situational solution in term of long term coding.A build-in preview area will allow me with more flexible handing and maybe we can even have a real-time editing function integrated.
