File Manager is a plugin for Sublime Text that is suppose to replace SideBarEnhancement and AdvancedNewFile.
Why? Because those to plugin basically do the same thing: They manage files from sublime text.
With this package, you can create, rename, move, duplicate and delete files or folders. You can also copy there relative/absolute path, or their name.
This package has as main goal to be 100% optimized.
So, for example, there is an auto completion system (based on the folders/files, both, you choose) on every input that is showed by FileManager. Just press tab to cycle through the auto completion.
There shouldn't be 2 commands when 1 can do the job.
FileManager doesn't have a command create_new_file
and create_new_folder
. Just fm_create
. It opens up an input, and the last character you type in is a /
(or a \
), it creates a folder instead of a file.
Although they're a fair bit of information in there, the docs are still a work in progress. Here they are: math2001.github.io/FileManager. Go have a quick look, you won't regret it 😄
- Open up the command palette: ctrl+shift+p

How to open the README
To open their README, some of the package add a command in the menus, others in the command palette, or other nowhere. None of those options are really good, especially the last one on ST3 because the packages are compressed. But, fortunately, there is plugin that exists and will solve this problem for us (and he has a really cute name, don't you think?): ReadmePlease. 🎉
