🧭 Compass - Better Code Navigation

GitHub Sponsors


Lost? Tired of endlessly scrolling through tabs just to find the previous file you were working on?

Compass provides you the list of most-recently used tabs. It also helps you filter them by special tags!

By default, ctrl+tab jumps you to the next view in the MRU stack without showing the stack. Compass provides you a visual guide of where you have been.


Installation

  1. In your package directory, clone the repo
git clone git@github.com:kapitanluffy/sublime-compass.git "Compass Navigator"
  1. Run Preferences: Compass Keybindings and copy pre-commented the keybindings (or you can set it to your preferred keybinds)

  2. Press ctrl+tab to show the Compass 🧭

Opening Compass

ctrl+tab

Open the quick panel. Displays most-recently used tabs by default.

Opening Compass

Quick switching

You can do this by pressing ctrl+tab on the first and second items

Quick Switching

Selecting an Item

Closing Compass

Closing Compass

Filtering Items

To enable filters, you need to set enable_tags to True. After that, you can filter items by typing #

Filtering Items

Opening files

If you have ripgrep set in the settings, you can enable this feature. Please note that this will be slow in large projects!

Opening Files

Auto Close Tabs

Compass will automatically close the least used tab when you open the 1001th tab. You can manage this limit by changing max_open_tabs or disable it by setting to 0

Caching Items

Internally, Compass caches the MRU tabs. Reopening Sublime Text will not rebuild the MRU stack

The “Files” plugin which allows you to navigate to unopened files does not do this unfortunately. By default, each time you open compass, the Files plugin will always refetch your file list

This sucks when you have a very large project. Enabling caching helps with showing compass immediately. The downside of this is that it won't see newly created files. I am currently working on fixing this with the help of another plugin called FileWatcher. For now, you can run Compass: Reindex to recognize new files.

If your Compass does not show up immediately, try enabling the cache under plugins.files.enable_cache in the settings
