Sublime Text 2 - Show file navigation in sidebar

Question

I just switched to Sublime Text as my new editor  If I open the sidebar it shows the opening file  but what I want is a file navigation sidebar  is it possible to change that without downloading plugins

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. In the new version, there is only an 'open' menu and no separate option for opening a folder.

Instead of opening a folder  try adding a folder by going to  Project  -   Add Folder to Project     which opens a Folder choosing dialog  This way the folder won t open in a new window and will be added to your current workspace    If you then go to  Project  -   Save Project As     you can even save your current setup  cells setup  opened files  unsaved changes  etc      this makes it easy to hotswitch between multiple projects without loosing control and unsaved changes which could be unsafe to be saved right now  but would be a loss if you just ditched them    Just be sure to have the  hot exit  setting set to true    And Ctrl   Alt   P  Linux and Windows    Super   Ctrl   P  Mac  lets you switch between the saved projects   This way you don t have to setup your editor every time you want to work on one of your projects   Hint  Try http   sublime-text-unofficial-documentation readthedocs org en sublime-text-2  which is a wonderful resource for beginners  it teaches you the ropes and shows you the power of your  new  editor  just start with the  Editing  chapter

Both of the previous answers from Matt York and Cyberbolt are right   Basic idea is here that you want to get some kind of File explorer in Sublime   Approach   1  With File - gt  New Folder - gt  Click on Desired folder and Hit Open you will get new popup window in sublime which for me is very annoying  2  I use second option which is drag n drop from nautilus  a k a  Files  window  Simply drag n drop your file you want to explore from nautilus to sublime sidebar  That way you stay in the same window and everything is cool   Don t forget to enable View -  Sidebar -  Show Sidebar and drag n drop there from nautilus and of course run it with root privleges  It works like charm

This is not exactly a solution  but for opening new files this works great   AdvancedNewFile  https   github com skuroda Sublime-AdvancedNewFile  Command   Option   n to save a file in a new or existing directory     So this would place your file html erb in the existing views directory in a Rails app   If you needed a new directory -you would just type that as the path and then hit enter    You can also Tab like in terminal to autocomplete for existing directories     This does not give the sidebar navigation I am looking for  but at least helps with one significant need that is repeated often

I added the Context Menu item for Folders to open in Sublime Text  In windows  you can right click on any Folder and open the structure in Sublime   You could also create a service     for Mac OS - I m just not familiar with the process   The following could be saved to a File  OpenFolderWithSublime reg  to merge to the registry  Be Sure to modify the directory structure to appropriately point to your Sublime installation   Alternatively  you can use REGEDIT and browse to HKCR Folder shell and create the values manually   Windows Registry Editor Version 5 00   HKEY CLASSES ROOT Folder shell Open with Sublime Text    HKEY CLASSES ROOT Folder shell Open with Sublime Text command     C   Program Files  Sublime Text 2  sublime text    1
