24. Notes

24.1. Features I Would Like

The following was originally written on 14-May-2025.

  • multi-row tabs (though the vertical OPEN FILES list in the side panel is a nice work-around, and I find I use IT more than I do the tabs)

  • line-draw mode (a future Package I intend to write)

  • custom paste behavior (e.g. place cursor at end of pasted string, or don’t move cursor, a future Package I intend to write)

  • same customizations I have made in Multi-Edit, especially N different types of dynamic block comments (a custom Package that I am working on—my ability to create the basic version of this Package for myself was my selling point on committing to Sublime Text as my future primary editor; as of 21-Feb-2026 I am nearing release public release on this Package).

As of 17-Feb-2026, I have been able to make all of those customizations so far. One not yet done is Line Drawing using ASCII characters, and I am finding that I go back to my prior editor when I need this feature—until the line drawing is done, and then I go back to Sublime Text again. This might also go so far as to have an option to use Unicode line characters as well—we will see.
