You can install SideBarEnhancements plugin  which among other things will give you ability to open file in browser just by clicking F12   To open exactly in Chrome  you will need to fix up    Side Bar sublime-settings    file and set  default browser  to be  chrome    I also recommend to learn this video tutorial on Sublime Text 2

egyamado s answer was really helpful  You can enhance it for your particular setup with something like this   import sublime  sublime plugin import webbrowser  class OpenBrowserCommand sublime plugin TextCommand      def run self  edit  keyPressed  localHost  pathToFiles           for region in self view sel               if not region empty                    Get the selected text               url   self view substr region                  prepend beginning of local host url              url   localHost   url            else                prepend beginning of local host url              url   localHost   self view file name                 replace local path to file             url   url replace pathToFiles                 if keyPressed     1               navigator   webbrowser get  open -a  Applications Firefox app  s            if keyPressed     2               navigator   webbrowser get  open -a  Applications Google  Chrome app  s            if keyPressed     3               navigator   webbrowser get  open -a  Applications Safari app  s            navigator open new url    And then in your keybindings      keys     alt 1     command    open browser    args     keyPressed    1    localHost    http   nbrown smartdestinations com    pathToFiles    opt local apache2 htdocs        keys     alt 2     command    open browser    args     keyPressed    2    localHost    http   nbrown smartdestinations com    pathToFiles    opt local apache2 htdocs        keys     alt 3     command    open browser    args     keyPressed    3    localHost    http   nbrown smartdestinations com    pathToFiles    opt local apache2 htdocs      We store sample urls at the top of all our templates  so the first part allows you to highlight that sample URL and launch it in a browser  If no text is highlighted  it will simply use the file name  You can adjust the command calls in the keybindings to your localhost url and the system path to the documents you re working on

I have  similar situation like you    I dont wannt sublime open editor for binary like jpg png files  Instead open system default application is more reasonable    create one Build  Just like the accepted answer  But  it will both open default application and hex editor  Pulgin OpenDefaultApplication   https   github com SublimeText OpenDefaultApplication It will have context right click menu OpenInDefaultApplication   But It will both open default application and hex editor as well Pulgin  Non Text Files   https   packagecontrol io packages Non 20Text 20Files   Add config in the user settting   binary file patterns       JPG     jpg      jpeg      png      gif      ttf      tga      dds      ico      eot      pdf      swf      jar      zip     prevent bin preview   true   open externally patterns           JPG         jpg         jpeg         JPEG         png          PGN         gif          GIF          zip          ZIP          pdf          PDF       I choose the third way  it s quite sutiable for me    It will open jpg file in system default application and quickly close the edit mode automaically at the same time  As to the first two ways  you can set  preview on click   false  to stop openning automaticlly the hex editor compromisely

I m not really sure this question is approprate here  but you can add a new  Build System  under Tools - gt  Build System - gt  New Build System     As with all configuration in Sublime Text its just JSON  so it should be pretty straight forward  The main thing you are going to want to configure is the  cmd  key val  Here is the build config for launching chrome on my mac          cmd     open    -a    Google Chrome     file       Save that as Chrome sublime-build  relaunch Sublime Text and you should see a new Chrome option in the build list  Select it  and then you should be able to launch Chrome with Cmd B on a Mac  or whatever hotkey you have configured for build  maybe its F7 or Ctrl B on a Windows machine   At least this should give you a push in the right direction   Edit   Another thing I end up doing a lot in Sublime Text 2 is if you right click inside a document  one of the items in the context menu is Copy File Path  which puts the current file s full path into the clipboard for easy pasting into whatever browser you want       Sublime Text 3   linux example   shell cmd    google-chrome   file

Here is another solution if you want to include different browsers in on file  If you and Mac user  from sublime menu go to  Tools   New Plugin  Delete the generated code and past the following   import sublime  sublime plugin import webbrowser   class OpenBrowserCommand sublime plugin TextCommand      def run self edit keyPressed         url   self view file name         if keyPressed     1            navegator   webbrowser get  open -a  Applications Firefox app  s         if keyPressed     2            navegator   webbrowser get  open -a  Applications Google  Chrome app  s         if keyPressed     3            navegator   webbrowser get  open -a  Applications Safari app  s         navegator open new url    Save  Then open up User Keybindings   Tools   Command Palette    User Key bindings    and add this somewhere to the list      keys     alt 1     command    open browser    args     keyPressed    1        keys     alt 2     command    open browser    args     keyPressed    2        keys     alt 3     command    open browser    args     keyPressed    3      Now open any html file in Sublime and use one of the keybindings  which it would open that file in your favourite browser
