Terminus - open panel at file location

#1

Does anyone know how to set Terminus so the panel will open at the currently active file location?
Is it doable?

By default “toggle_terminus_panel” opens at the last file location - so this seems to be wrong command.
Same goes for “terminus_open” - it opens a new tab and that’s not what I need.

I’ve experimented with Origami, but the solution I came up with is also flawed. When you have several tabs opened it messes which tab is in focus.
So for example I have tabs A, B, C. B is active (in view / opened). If I launch Terminus (terminus open) with post window hooks and carry to pane (bottom) it opens a pane on the bottom, but on the upper (main) one focus switches from B to C (in short - last tab).
Any ideas?

The following binding opens the default Terminus panel on current file’s location.

	{
		"keys": ["ctrl+alt+`"],
		"command": "terminus_open",
		"args": {
			"config_name": "Default",
			"cwd": "${file_path:${folder}}",
			"panel_name": "Terminus"
		},
		"context": [
			{ "key": "terminus_view", "operator": "not_equal", "operand": true },
		]
	},

Thank yoiu @deathaxe - that did the trick! Ideally it would be a toggle, but I’m happy with that :slight_smile: .

BTW - this made me thinking. Is there a workaround for the last issue among the solutions I’ve come up with? I’ve used that method (Origami , post window hooks) to set up an alternative Python3 build system that opens on the right pane. I don’t use it often thus it is only mildly annoying (usually I use terminus build system that opens as usual, on the bottom - thus no need for Origami), but if I could prevent switching focus on the opened tabs that would be pretty sweet.

I don’t use Origami, but it sounds like a bug. The post_window_hook method itself is used in the Terminus examples, so I guess it is expected to work.

The way how view’s are focused when changing groups has changed in ST4. I don’t see a ST4 specific version of Origami, so it is likely one of the recent changes to fix ST4 compatibility might have broken some functionality with ST3.

What sort of focus switching are you seeing? One of my videos has a simple plugin which includes a command you can include in the pre_window_hooks and post_window_hooks to save the currently focused tab before the build starts and restore it afterwards.

I indeed recall that needing to be slightly different depending on the version of Sublime in use, though at the time ST4 wasn’t publicly released so I haven’t seen to many people talk asking about it so far.

for some weird reason it works now (didn’t touch anything) :upside_down_face: .

BTW - thank you @OdatNurd for all the videos you’ve put on YT. Those basically encouraged me to try ST in the first place and there’s a wealth of info there. You’re a star!
