API

There are two usable classes in module:

• QuickSearches - container for opened panels; this class is preinstanciated under “panels” variable.

• QuickSearch - quick search panel

Quick search panel are create through “create” function. Panels are stackable (new panel hides previos when showed, and shows previous when closed).

Note that inproper code that runned in callbacks can crash sublime (due to its internal bugs). So use this plugin with care.

QuickSearches.create(values = [], open = None, close = None, preview = None, text = '', callers = [], on_create = None, index = 0)

Creates a quick search panel.

Arguments:

• values - list of values in following format:

  • [string, string, …] - list of strings.
  • [[value, line1, line2, …], [value, line1, line2, …]] - list of lists; value - any value; line1, line2, lineN - strings; note that count of lines always should be the same otherwise unexpected behavior of sublime are expected.

• open(QuickSearch) - open callback; callback called when user hits enter in list; callback receive QuickSearch instance as argument.

• close(QuickSearch) - close callback; callback called when user hit “escape” or “enter” (panel is closed).

• preview(QuickSearch) - preview callback; callback called when user selects an item in list.

• text - initial text that is entered in panel.

• callers - list of callers to obtain panel instance when issuing commands over panel in following format: [[name, object], …] where name is name of caller and object - instance of caller; this is usefull when you need to check that search panel contains specific information or issues command on instance that has opened the panel

• index - initial selected index

Result:

QuickSearch; created panel; note that panel have to be showed after it will be created by issuing .show() command;

from QuickSearchEnhanced import quick_search
  panel = quick_search.panels.create(
    ['a', 'b', 'c'],
