Origami

Origami is a new way of thinking about panes in Sublime Text: you tell Sublime Text where you want a new pane, and it makes one for you.

Ordinarily one uses the commands under View>Layout, or if one is quite intrepid a custom keyboard shortcut can be made to give a specific layout, but both of these solutions were unsatisfactory to me. Perhaps they were to you too! That's what this plugin is for.

Try it out! I think you'll like it.

Keyboard shortcuts

Origami is driven by keyboard shortcuts. By default, these keyboard shortcuts are all two-stage, and are hidden behind super+k. First press super+k, then press the arrow keys with modifiers:

• no modifiers: travel to an adjacent pane
• shift: carry the current file to the destination
• alt (option): clone the current file to the destination
• super: create an adjacent pane
• super+shift: destroy an adjacent pane

These keyboard shortcuts are designed to make it really easy to modify the layout of your editor.

(Note: Windows uses ctrl instead of super.)
