33. Notes

33.1. Features I Would Like

The following was originally written on 14-May-2025, updated 28-Apr-2026. It has been updated to reflect the current situation as of 04-May-2026.

  • Fancy comment insertions (template and dynamic), equivalent to the customizations I had made in Multi-Edit. (DONE! In [ProComment] Package, being polished for release.) (Note: this was a BIG selling point for me to move from Multi-Edit to Sublime Text!)

  • Custom-formatted (user configurable) current datestamp and timestamp insertion by 1 keystroke. (DONE! It is part of the [ProComment] Package mentioned above.)

  • ASCII line-drawing mode. (DONE! In [BoxDrawing] Package, released early April 2026.)

  • Pop-up ASCII Table in a floating window. (DONE! In a Plugin as of 02-May-2026.)

  • Custom paste behavior (e.g. place cursor at end of pasted string, or don’t move cursor, as this is very useful in some use cases)—a future Package I intend to write, that will be able to be turned on with a user-configurable setting, and normal paste behavior resumes when that settings is turned off.

  • Multi-row tabs. However, the vertical OPEN FILES list in the side panel provides a nice way to access open files, and is sortable in any way desired. This, along with the drop-down tab list in the upper-right corner, both reduce the need for multi-row tabs. After 11 months I find the need for this was more emotional (something I was used to), rather than an actual NEED. The sortable OPEN FILES list replaces it nicely.

As of 04-May-2026, I have been able to make every customization I have needed thus far, and from what I have learned up to this point, there are no customizations I have thought of thus far that cannot be done.
