How to open files from Finder into existing instance of Sublime Text 2?
I would like to be able to go into Finder
and open files into an existing instance of Sublime Text 2
, which has a side menu with all open files. However, when I hit Open With
-> Sublime Text 2.app
, it opens a whole new instance of Sublime, which is not what I want. I can certainly accomplish grouping of my documents in a single instance if I open them within the application but that requires more steps and time, i.e. is not always as convenient as opening them from Finder
.
Solution 1:
As shown in this answer on SuperUser, you can set this behaviour by changing the open_files_in_new_window
setting in Sublime Text to false
. (Note that it's recommended that you override the setting in the Settings - User
file rather than changing it in Settings - Default
.)
