ExpandGroup

Sublime Text 3 Plugin to switch and resize 2-Columns layout or 4-Grid layout fastest as possible.

Install

With the Package Control plugin

  • Install Package Control
  • restart ST and bring up the Command Palette :
    • Command+Shift+P on OS X,
    • Control+Shift+P on Linux/Windows.
  • Select "Package Control: Install Package",
  • Wait while Package Control fetches the latest package list, then select Expand Group when the list appears.

The advantage of using this method is that Package Control will automatically keep Expand Group up to date with the latest version.

Without Git

  • Download the latest source from GitHub
  • Copy the sublime-ExpandGroup folder to your Sublime Text "Packages" directory.

With Git

The "Packages" directory is located at:

OS Path
OS X ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/
Linux ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/
Windows %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 2/Packages/

Keys

Pressing Alt+left or Alt+right or Alt+up or Alt+down will switch focus to the respective column or cell and resize it according to the configured ratio (which by default is "4:1" and "1:4").

If you add shift to your shortcut, it will move the current editing file in the target group.

So if you are a full-keyboard coder or a mouse lover, this plugin got you covered.

Warning, the Alt+up and Alt+down may be in conflict with another plugin, such as "Emmet". Please set this keybinding into the "Key Bindings - User" file.

--------------------                  -------------------- 

Notes

Numbers are treated as a ratio, so 50:50 is identical to 1:1.

For example:

50:50
(2 columns, equal width. 1 row)

--------------------
|        |         |
|        |         |
|        |         |
|        |         |
|        |         |
|        |         |
--------------------

1:4
(2 columns, one four times the width of the other. 1 row)

--------------------
|      |           |
|      |           |
|      |           |
|      |           |
|      |           |
