Repository files navigation

Sublime FileDialog plugin

Replacement for default "save as...", "open" sublime functionality. Also provides "rename file..." feature.

Reason

I don't like OS's default "save as..." and "open" dialog because there is no way to navigate through files and directories in fuzzy way and there is no way to put default file name into the "save as..." file name field even if I can detect it pretty precisely (for most mvc framework filename will be name of class in file text). So it is attempt to replace this default dialogs and I found it quite usable after a bit training.

WARNING

This plugin replaces default sublime "save as...", "open" functionality in unobvious way. When saving new file you should enter then name of file into the dialog and hit "tab" (not "enter") to save file. "Enter" will open directory or file.

By default it tries to detect your file name and put this file name into the file name field. It will hide other files or directories that not match this file name so if you want to save file under different directory you should delete (or cut) file name and navigate to directory you need. Current directory is listed in status bar.
