The available commands are stackoverflow_search_selection and stackoverflow_search_from_input which are self-explanatory.

You can trigger them from the Command Palette:

Or through the Tools menu

This is definitely not the most complex plugin ever, but it does save me some time!

Hope this helps someone.

Even for home projects, I tend to use Perforce (the licence is free if you have 2 users max). While Sublime Text 2 didn’t support a perforce integration, it was pretty easy to add a small python plugin to allow

• User command to be bound on a menu item or keyboard shortcut
• Call to p4 edit when a file is read only and about to be saved

I think the longest part was understanding that to call my PerforceCheckoutCommand I had to write perforce_checkout (no caps, _ added and command removed) in the config file.

For those of you who would be interested in using it, it’s available on GitHub

https://github.com/ericmartel/Sublime-Text-2-Perforce-Plugin

Edit: The plugin now supports auto checkout, auto add, checkout command and add command. I’m waiting for Sublime Text 2 to support delete and rename callback to add those. The plugin was also submitted to be part of Package Control (another useful plugin for Sublime Text 2) to ease its integration.

Edit: It is now part of Package Control, just use Package Control: Install Package and type Perforce and you’re all set!

If at this point, you press “Cancel”, you’ll be prompted with a pop up saying:

Sure, no problem.

The thing is that once this is done, anytime you’ll try to step into a function coming from the same cpp file you just canceled the look up, you’ll be prompted with the message without being able to select the file.

This is really easy to fix actually.  This setting is stored in the Solution, under the Debug Source Files panel:

Simply removing the file from the “Do not look for these source files” will re enable the file selection dialog.

He used “>” followed by “of” in the search tab, and as he typed, the drop down menu was populated by files matching his filter… hum!  I didn’t know Visual Studio had this built in, I thought you had to use Workspace Whiz or Visual Assist!

Here’s an example:

(screenshot taken using the BWAPI solution)

The prefix > tells Visual Studio to interpret the rest as a command.  The actual Command Window is accessible using Ctrl-Alt-A (default binding) for those who don’t want to use the mouse  to select the “Quick Find” text box.  You can either use an Alias (such as of for Open File) or the actual command (such as File.Open).

Microsoft lists some commands and aliases available here but using >Alias will list all the set aliases.

You can create aliases and remove aliases using the alias command:

Given that most people don’t use them at all, it is pretty standard across all PCs, so if you have to work on other people’s PCs, you should be able to use aliases instead of relying on an installed plug in!

Also, the only other plugin I use is Visual Assist X, you can get it here (not free though, but totally worth it!):
