QuickRulers - Sublime Text Plugin

This a fork of QuickRulers, a Sublime Text 4 plugin that provides easy access to the "rulers" setting.

Current 'dev' branch is just a personal sandbox, nothing special.

For the time being, it provides:

• A setting for default set of rulers @done
  Instead of always inserting your rulers preference at start,
  QuickRulers panel will now open with the pre-populated user defaults.
  (something like "rulers display-toggle" and "define rulers" in one)
• A python 3.8 only version for Sublime Text 4 @done
  It just runs on the ST4's python3.8 plugin host, nothing extra.

Try

for whomsoever wants to try it
(take a look at "Skip it" if you just want to toggle rulers display)

Install

Remove "QuickRulers" from "Package Control", if previously installed.

Add to Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings,

  "ignore_vcs_packages":
  [
    "QuickRulers"
  ]

Manual installation

1. Clone or download this repository (the default 'dev' branch for ST4 or the corresponding branch ST3 see Notes).
2. Rename the cloned or extracted root folder to QuickRulers.
3. Move the QuickRulers folder to your Sublime Text's Packages folder.
   To find the Packages folder, click menu Preferences > Browse Packages.
4. Restart Sublime Text, and go edit Preferences > Package Settings > QuickRulers > Settings.

alt. way

1. Go to Packages folder.
   (if you don't know, click menu Preferences > Browse Packages).
2. Create a directory named 'QuickRulers' and 'cd' inside it.
3. From command line
   • Default 'dev' branch (ST4)
     git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Gregory-K/QuickRulers .
   • 'dev-ST3' branch see Notes
     git clone --depth 1 --branch dev-ST3 https://github.com/Gregory-K/QuickRulers .
4. Restart Sublime Text, and go edit Preferences > Package Settings > QuickRulers > Settings.

Update

Delete the contents of Packages/Outline folder and repeat the "Manual Installation",

OR

'cd' in Packages/Outline folder and
git fetch && git rebase for Linux
git fetch; git rebase for Windows

Use

Create a key binding for the quick_rulers command, and use it.

Key-binding examples:

[
  { "keys": ["alt+r"], "command": "quick_rulers" },
  { "keys": ["alt+shift+r"], "command": "quick_rulers",
    "args": {"show_current": false} }
]

Notes

Note: As mentioned above, this is a "playground". Expect rebases, resets, branch renaming.

Branches:
'dev' : default branch for ST4.
'dev-ST3' : branch for ST3.

Other Branches:
'upstream' : clone of the official upstream repository.

Skip it

If you just want to toggle the display of rulers, you could do it with a key-binding set.

{ "keys": ["alt+r"], "command": "set_setting",
  "args": {"setting": "rulers", "value": [79, 119]}
},
{ "keys": ["alt+shift+r"], "command": "set_setting",
  "args": {"setting": "rulers", "value": []}
},

sorry, a simple one-key-binding to 'toggle_setting' works only with booleans and not with alternating values (ST4 limitation)
