Is it possible to open multiple folders in the same window using Sublime Text 2?
Selecting File->Open Folder
always opens the folder in a new window.
Sublime Text is an excellent editor, but this issue is a bit annoying.

You can use the Add folder to Project...
item on the Project
menu to open a folder in the current Sublime Text 2 window.
With Sublime Text 2, a project is always open, even if it is anonymous and unsaved.
In Sublime text 3, you can just drag and drop folders, it will open multiple folders. However i have not tried it in Sublime text 2.
Update:
Drag and drop works in Sublime text 2 as well.
From what I can tell, this behavior is built in. In Packages/Default/Main.sublime-menu
, the listing for Open Folder…
is
{ "command": "prompt_open_folder", "caption": "Open Folder…", "platform": "!OSX" }
Unfortunately, after searching all through the installation, there's no macro or .py
file with the prompt_open_folder
command, so it must be a hard-coded part of the binary, which makes sense, because it's a system call to the operating system/window manager to open a file picker dialog.
It should be relatively straightforward to write a plugin to select a folder for inclusion in the current window, but unfortunately I'm not quite able to at the moment.
