This command used to work fine in Sublime Text 2:
self.window.run_command('clone_file')Somehow it doesn’t work anymore. Is there a way to make it work or an alternative?
Thank you.
What happened to "clone_file" in Sublime text 3?
Update: The below code is for a different functionality of creating a duplicate of the current file and opening it for you. I believe the command “clone_file” still exists in ST3 but now with the more clear menu caption “File->New view into File”.
Use the below code only if you would like “Duplicate File” functionality.
Create a file SublimeDataDir\Packages\User\Main.sublime-menu:
{
"caption": "File",
"mnemonic": "F",
"id": "file",
"children":
{ "command": "duplicate_file", "caption": "Duplicate File"},
]
}
][/code]
Create a file SublimeDataDir\Packages\User\DuplicateFile.py:
[code]import sublime, sublime_plugin
import os
import shutil
class DuplicateFile(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
self.window.run_command("save")
self.window.show_input_panel("Duplicate File Name:", "", self.on_done, None, None)
pass
def on_done(self, userinput):
file1 = self.window.active_view().file_name()
file2 = os.path.dirname(file1) + "\\" + userinput
shutil.copy2(file1, file2)
self.window.open_file(file2)
sublime.status_message("Created Duplicate File: " + file2)

Submit clone view works fine.
sublime.active_window().run_command(‘clone_file’)
@robertcollier4, clone is not duplicate. Clone will open the same file in another view. so you can have many tabs with the same content. Useful for multi monitor set-ups and people that use different layouts.
If you can paste the code maybe we can catch why window is not set in self.

Hm… This doesn’t work for me. Here is the full code:
class clone_tab_in_new_window(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
if self.window.num_groups() == 1:
self.window.run_command('set_layout',
{
"cols": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
"rows": [0.0, 1.0],
"cells": [0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 2, 1]]
})
sublime.active_window().run_command('clone_file')
sublime.active_window().run_command('move_to_group', {"group": 1})Any idea why it doesn’t work?

I think set_layout command change the active group, so after this command you are on the group 1.
You need to focus the group 0 before the move_to_group command.
This can be done using the api or using a command:
class ExampleCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
if self.window.num_groups() == 1:
self.window.run_command('clone_file')
self.window.run_command('set_layout',
{
"cols": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
"rows": [0.0, 1.0],
"cells": [0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 2, 1]]
})
self.window.run_command('focus_group', {"group": 0})
self.window.run_command('move_to_group', {"group": 1})

This will move the current tab to dual view.
class DualViewMoveTo(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
self.window.run_command('set_layout', { "cols": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0], "rows": [0.0, 1.0], "cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 2, 1]] })
self.window.run_command('focus_group', { "group": 0 })
self.window.run_command('move_to_group', { "group": 1 })
