dev-mattst branch; ST2 support fixed and new folder list scrolling feature

[mattst]

Hi there,

There is a minor change and a major change.

• Minor: Fixed broken ST v2 support. It was broken by the switch to the more modular design and fixed by doing a version specific import of the paths and matching modules.
• Major: New folder list scrolling feature.

The folder list scrolling is similar to the history scrolling feature. A folder list is created from the following possible locations: the user's home folder, the folder of the current file, the project folders, and additional user set folders which can be added in the settings file. The order the folders appear in can be controlled by the user in the i_opener.sublime-settings with the folder_sequence setting, and the user's additional folders can be set with the folders setting.

// `i_opener.sublime-settings`:

// User control of what order to add the folders in.
"folder_sequence": ["home", "file", "project", "user"],

// User set folders to add.
"folders":
[
     "~/Path/To/Folder/In/Home/",
     "/Full/Path/To/Folder/"
]

The i_opener.sublime-settings file has detailed instructions.

Moving up and down the folder list is almost identical to the history feature except that a modifier key is used. ctrl+up/down for Linux/Windows, super+up/down for OSX.

In addition users can change to different folders and folder lists using key bindings.

• ctrl+h - display the home folder.
• ctrl+f - display the folder of current file.
• ctrl+p - load project folders, display the first one, and allow scrolling through them.
• ctrl+u - load the user defined folders from the settings file, display the first one, and allow scrolling through them.
• ctrl+a - load the folders list created using folder_sequence setting, display the first one, and allow scrolling through them. This is the initial folder list when the plugin starts.
• OSX uses super in place of ctrl.

This feature has made both the get_current_directory() function and the use_project_dir setting redundant; both have been removed.

Tested and working with ST v3 and v2 on both Linux and Windows XP. Completely untested on OSX, you wouldn't happen to be an OSX user would you?

A few other minor changes were made; e.g. a few typos, comments, a variable or two renamed, and the check for ST v2 or v3 in iOpenerCommand is now set to the positive rather than the negative, in keeping with good practice.

I hope this meets with your approval.

Perhaps update Readme?

Looking good, will finish reviewing later!

Hi,

Concerning your query about the import:

if python_version_major == 3:
    from .matching import ...
    from .paths import ...
elif python_version_major == 2:
    from matching import ...
    from paths import ...

It is due to the new syntax for explicit relative imports introduced in Python v3.

See the following StackOverflow answer: python: how to import the class within the same directory or sub directory

However it only seems to be required in packages, as explained at length on another StackOverflow page, here: Relative imports in Python 3

The code is a bit ugly but I don't see any way around it. [Except by using a try clause, but I think that would be still uglier.]

I'll update README.md at some point during the next few days.

Are you going to merge the pull request? I seem to have the required permission level to do so but don't want to overstep the mark, especially if you haven't reviewed my code.

All the best.

Usual way to do these things is wait until I +1 it, (after review), then merge.

I'll do that when I get a bit of spare time - Feel free to keep pinging me if I forget!
