Sublime Text 2: How to make Sublime run a command (fold code) when opening a file by default?

Question

I would like to make it so that whenever I open a file in Sublime it will automatically do "Fold Level 2" Coding which is command shortcut Ctrl-K,Ctrl-2 (or CMD-K, CMD-2). I use both mac and pc.

I don't want to enter that shortcut everytime, instead I would like Sublime to automatically run that on opening a file. Please let me know if there a way to do that.

Answer 1

I think that the best solution to your problem is Buffer Scroll plugin. It remembers and restores a lot of things, folding included.

If you don't want to install that plugin, you can create your own:

1. Create new plugin Tools / New Plugin...
2. Insert code

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class Folding(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
    def on_load(self, view):
        view.run_command("fold_by_level", {"level": 2})

1. Save it in your User directory with the filename you prefer.

This will set folding level to 2, for every file you open.
