How to Log Commands by Default in Sublime Text 3

Sublime Text 3 is a powerful text editor that many developers and writers find indispensable. One of its useful features includes the ability to log commands through the console, which allows you to track what commands are being executed. This feature can be invaluable for debugging or better understanding the editor’s behavior. However, many users wonder how they can ensure that command logging is enabled automatically every time they start Sublime Text 3.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to set up command logging to start automatically when you launch Sublime Text 3 by creating a simple plugin.

Understanding the Challenge

While Sublime Text 3 offers the ability to log commands via the console, you need to manually input the command sublime.log_commands(True) every time you open the editor. Unfortunately, there is no built-in setting to enable this feature by default in the user preferences. This can be cumbersome, especially for users who rely on command logging for their workflow.

Solution: Create a Simple Plugin

To make command logging available at startup, the best solution is to implement a small plugin that calls this command automatically upon launching Sublime Text. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Open a New Plugin

Launch Sublime Text 3.

Click on the menu bar and navigate to Tools > Developer > New Plugin.

Step 2: Replace the Stub Code

You will see a window with some pre-generated code. Replace this code with the following Python script:

Step 3: Save the Plugin File

Save the file with a name of your choice, ensuring the file has a .py extension.

Make sure to save it in the User package. This is crucial—saving it in any subdirectory within the User package will cause it not to be recognized as a plugin.

Step 4: Verify It Works

After saving the file, check the Sublime Text console (you can open it with `Ctrl + ``) to see if it reports that your plugin has loaded successfully. Once you see this confirmation, your command logging will now be active every time you start Sublime Text 3.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you've successfully set up your Sublime Text 3 environment to log commands by default every time it launches. This small adjustment can significantly improve your development experience by allowing you to keep tabs on every command executed in the editor.

If you encounter any issues along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out to the friendly Sublime Text community for help!

Now, with command logging enabled automatically in Sublime Text 3, you can focus more on what matters most: your projects!
