Description monk.e.boy 2011-06-23 15:03:58 UTC

I noticed that when you drag a code window it shows a tiny screen shot of the code.

Could this also be used to make a sublime minimap of the code?

Can the right hand gutter marks (e.g. changes, search occurrences etc) also be integrated into this?

FYI: sandipchitale made a eclipse plugin for the same request

FYI There is a plugin for IntelliJ that provides this as well: https://github.com/Vektah/CodeGlance

Would be interested in this feature its very useful in Sublime Text and Notepad ++

Comment 5 markiewb 2015-01-31 13:22:06 UTC

I drafted a plugin for that. The code is based on a component from BlueJ.

So in my perspective we can resolve the issue, or?

Comment 7 markiewb 2015-05-09 12:31:49 UTC

Resolve as wontfix because there is a 3rd party plugin for that
