Sublime Text 3 – How to Go to Column by Its Number

sublime-text-3

How to go to row number n and column number m in sublime text3.

I can go to row by number. But can't find out how to move to column by its number on this row.

I need it because I got error reportings with fileName and 2 numbers: for example: 24:13. That means row 24 and column 13.

So I need to move to row 24 and column 13 fast without counting how many times I clicked on right arrow on my keyboard.

Best Answer

Just press ctrl+p (cmd+p on mac) to bring on "Goto Anything" palette, and then type colon, line number, colon, column number:

:24:13

You can also type filename first, and Sublime will move you straight to place in that file you need.

styles/main.css:24:13

First, select the lines in File B that you want copied. Note the number X of lines (this should be displayed on the bottom of your screen).

Second, select the first X lines of File A so that there is a cursor at the end. To do this:

move your cursor to the end of the first line,
go up to the Selection menu, and use the shortcut for Add Next Line until X lines are selected. On OSX, its controlshiftdown.

In this example, there will be 3 cursors at the end of File A that look like this:

Alpha|
Beta|
Gamma|
Delta

Finally, press tab once, then paste your lines. You should have the results you want.

Because of the way this is done, its easier to paste into File A. However, if you really want to paste into file B or some other file, just copy the lines in File A into the target file before you start, and do the same process.

Where does Sublime Text store its un-saved windows

Where does Sublime Text store its un-saved windows?

This depends on which operating system your are using.

OSX

Sublime Text 3:

~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Local/Session.sublime_session

Sublime Text 2:

~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Settings/Auto Save.sublime_session

I'm wondering if there is a location Sublime puts temporary files? I just lost a WP theme I was working on due to MacOSX blundering, wondering if I can get any of the files I was working on back from Sublime temp files.

...

Sublime Text will save auto save information to ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Settings/Auto Save.sublime_session, but it does so on a regular basis, and the chances are it's overwritten by now, unfortunately.

Source Temporary Files location?

Windows

For the settings folder you could look for a unique file using:

F:\>dir license.sublime_license /s /b

For XP that would return:

F:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Sublime Text 2\Settings\License.sublime_license

Alternatively:

Open sublime and go to preferences > browse packages.
Then to the parent directory and you'll see the settings subdirectory.

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Sublime Text 2\Settings\Auto Save Session.sublime_session
