Update show_quick_panel

#1

Hello.

>>> window.show_quick_panel([str(i) for i in range(4)]);window.show_quick_panel([str(i) for i in range(20)], None, 0, 10) Quick panel unavailable
My plugin should be able to switch back and forth on the history, switching the view and quick_panel.
If quick_panel is already open, then sublime fails “Quick panel is unavailable” and the panel remains with the old data.
Any suggestions?

You can not update the quick panel.

You must close the quick panel and reopen it (with selected_index parameter on ST3) to emulate this behavior somewhat.

How to close using the api?

From the default bindings:

	{ "keys": "escape"], "command": "hide_panel", "args": {"cancel": true},
		"context":
		
			{ "key": "panel_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }
		]
	},

So, window.run_command("hide_panel", {"cancel": True}) should do.

Closes all of the panels, but not quick_panel

[code]#{ “keys”: “f10”], “command”: “example” },

{ “keys”: “ctrl+f10”], “command”: “example”, “args”: { “back”: true} },

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class ExampleCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
items = “test”,“bar”]
def run(self, back=False):
if back:
self.items.pop()
else:
self.items.append(“item %s”%len(self.items))

	self.show_panel(self.items)

def show_panel(self, items, index=0):
	self.window.run_command("hide_panel", {"cancel": True})
	if items:
		sublime.set_timeout(lambda:	self.window.show_quick_panel(items, None, 0, index), 10)[/code]

Sorry, I didn’t test this. I wasn’t too sure myself.

Then it was the other one: window.run_command("hide_overlay"), which you could have found in the default bindings as well.

Thank you. It works.

[code]#{ “keys”: “f10”], “command”: “example” },
#{ “keys”: “ctrl+f10”], “command”: “example”, “args”: { “back”: true} },

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class ExampleCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
items = “test”,“bar”]
def run(self, back=False):
if back:
self.items.pop()
else:
self.items.append(“item %s”%len(self.items))

	self.show_panel(self.items, len(self.items)-1)

def show_panel(self, items, index=0):
	self.window.run_command("hide_overlay")
	self.window.show_quick_panel(items, None, 0, index)[/code]
