Deprecating Fabric

Fabric was our internal code name for the Alan Application Platform. For the time being you can still use the fabric utility and the Fabric Validate build system.

Alan uses () extensively. If you press enter when you cursor is between the braces, you'll end up with this:

(

In most cases this is more useful:

)

Sublime has this behaviour by default for curly braces {}. Add this to your Key Bindings file to copy this behaviour for parentheses:

{
"keys": ["enter"], "command": "run_macro_file", "args": {"file": "res://Packages/Default/Add Line in Braces.sublime-macro"}, "context":
    [
        { "key": "setting.auto_indent", "operator": "equal", "operand": true },
        { "key": "selection_empty", "operator": "equal", "operand": true, "match_all": true },
        { "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "\\($", "match_all": true },
        { "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^\\)", "match_all": true }
    ]
}
