Ditch sidebar and browse your files in a normal tab with keyboard, like a pro!

You can also use it as a sidebar that you can put on right or left side

You can install via Sublime Package Control
Or you can clone this repo into your Sublime Text Packages folder and rename the folder to FileBrowser

This plugin does not add any keybindings for opening a new tab in "Browse mode". Although, the commands to do that are available in command pallete but I recommend binding F1 to open the current file folder in "Browse mode" with this peice of code (that you can add it to your Key Bindings - User file):

{ 
  "keys": ["f1"], 
  "command": "dired", 
  "args": { "immediate": true } 
}

In Rename Mode:

You can select files and/or directories by marking them with m, or Shift+up/down or just use the sublime multiple cursor feature and extend your cursor to the line that has those files/directories

The rename command puts the view into rename mode. The view is made editable so files can be renamed directly in the view using all of your Sublime Text tools: multiple cursors, search and replace, etc.

After you are done with editing press super+enter to commit your changes or escape to cancel them.

Selecting a couple of files and/or directories (either by marking them or using the noraml multiple cursor feature of sublime) and pressing w will open them in a new SublimeText window.

If you don't like ⠤ symbol and want to hide it (then you should use keyboard binding backspace to go to parent directory) you can do it in your user syntax specific settings file. create a file called dired.sublime-settings in you User folder and paste the code below:

{
  "dired_show_parent": false,
}

If you don't like colors used in FileBrowser just copy this file to your User folder, change colors and create a file called dired.sublime-settings in you User folder and paste the code below:

{
  "color_scheme": "Path to your custom color scheme file. e.g. Packages/User/custom_dired.hidden-tmTheme",
}
