SettingsUI

Package Control GitHub release License

A visual settings panel for Sublime Text 4 — browse and edit Preferences.sublime-settings through a two-pane UI instead of editing raw JSON.

Buy Me A Coffee

Features

  • Two-pane layout — category navigation on the left, settings on the right
  • Grouped sections — Appearance, Editor, Files, Search, and more
  • Smart widgets — toggles for booleans, radio buttons for enums, inline number editing, native pickers for color schemes, themes, and fonts
  • Live search — filter across all settings instantly
  • Schema generator — syncs the UI with new ST settings automatically via a single command
  • Auto-reload — re-renders the panel whenever you save a plugin file during development
  • View Raw Config — jump straight to Preferences.sublime-settings from the UI

Installation

Package Control (recommended)

  1. Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
  2. Run Package Control: Install Package
  3. Search for SettingsUI

Development

Running tests

Pure-logic tests (tests/) — no Sublime Text dependency:

uv run pytest tests/ -v

Real-ST regression tests (tests_st/) run against real, headless Sublime Text via Docker — no local Sublime Text install or license required. This tier primarily covers window-lifecycle regressions (open/close crashes) that a hand-rolled sublime model can't faithfully reproduce; it's a smoke suite, not a replacement for tests/, and every test in it drives the plugin through real commands and real view/window mutations rather than calling listener classes directly:

./tools/run-st-tests-docker.sh

Run a single file with ./tools/run-st-tests-docker.sh --file tests_st/<name>.py. The first run clones SublimeText/UnitTesting into a gitignored .cache/ directory and builds a local Docker image; later runs reuse a cached Docker volume and are much faster. CI runs the same tests_st/ suite via UnitTesting's official GitHub Action instead of Docker — both are entry points to identical test content.
