sublime text : open containing folder
I'm working on some file in my sublime text 2 editor, and I want to open a folder in which that file resides.
I know there is a 2 step procedure to do this already
step 1: right click and reveal in sidebar (ctrl+shift+r)
step 2: right click on the same file in sidebar and click open containing folder.
I would like to know if there is only one shortcut key to do the same. This is something that I use quite often.
You can add the line below to your Default (Windows).sublime-keymap
:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+e"], "command": "open_dir",
"args": {"dir": "$file_path", "file": "$file_name"} }
By default the editor has this item in context menu. If you need this feature on tabs you have to create a file with name "Tab Context.sublime-menu" in "\Data\Packages\User\" (if does not exist yet) and add this code:
[
{
"caption": "-"
},
{
"command": "open_dir",
"args": {"dir": "$file_path", "file": "$file_name"},
"caption": "Open Containing Folder…"
}
]
Do not forget formatting lines as a JSON file! If you do not need a separator before this menu item you need to delete first block with caption "-"! You can add any other menu in this file. For example:
{
"command": "copy_path",
"caption": "Copy File Path"
},
This worked for me: assuming you have opened the file whose enclosing folder you want to open, use the Menu > Project > Add Folder To Project
command.
A new window should open with the enclosing folder. Just click 'Open' and you're done!
Install Open project path by shortcut. Then setup keybindings in your User keymap file
{
"keys": ["f10"],
"command": "open_project_folder"
},
{
"keys": ["ctrl+f10"],
"command": "open_file_folder"
}
Initiate the key bindings on a open file (f10 to open the directory you have set as the project folder, ctrl+f10 to open the folder of the current file.)
I found this plugin: https://github.com/kallepersson/Sublime-Finder
The instructions are pretty simple and straightforward. Now I just use CMD+SHIFT+P
and type "finder" and press enter and it opens a finder window.
I think this might only work on macs though.
