When you open a file in sublime text it shows a small version of it on the right side where you can click and scroll. In sublime text 2 it always stayed highlighted on where you are in the file, but in 3 it no longer does. I am wondering how to get this feature back, and also what the correct name for this right side bar preview thing is.
This is what it looks like in 3
This is what it looks like in 2 and what I am going for. Notice how the top of the right side-bar is highlighted a lighter gray.
You have to add a folder to the Sublime Text window in order to navigate via the sidebar. Go to File -> Open Folder... and select the highest directory you want to be able to navigate. Also, 'View -> Sidebar -> Show Sidebar' if it still doesn't show.
Now when you want to preview your work in Sublime Text in a web browser, do one of the following: Tools > Build. Press Command-B (Mac) 2 or Ctrl-B (Windows)
Use the Search all shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + F , then select the folder in the "Where:" box below. (And for Mac, it's ⌘ + Shift + F ).
Open the Sublime Text default settings file: Mac OS X: Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Settings - Default. Windows: Preferences > Settings - Default. Linux: Preferences > Settings - Default.
Just add this line to your user settings:
"always_show_minimap_viewport": true
