Configuration issues about autohidesidebar HOT 7 CLOSED

I believe I was facing an issue with https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/settings-not-reloading/11275/17 which might be why I was not getting my preferences loaded. The point about it loading AutoHideSidebar.sublime-settings but not using it still stands i think

This is on ST3

Even though you closed this, I'll still check it out. Thank you for the bug report.

Thanks @xunker, There is also an issue where the logic seems to reverse itself.. briefly, show becomes hide (hide immediately, show after 5 keystrokes) let me try to replicate and report.

I believe it doesnt work well with command + shift + R which reveals the current file in the sidebar

When I originally wrote this, there was no way to query the state of the sidebar with the Sublime API. So if something else changed the sidebar state then this code started working in reverse.

There are functions in the API called is_sidebar_visible() and set_sidebar_visible(flag). I don't know if I just missed them before or if they are new. They may also not do that I think. I'm going to explore them.

If I can't fix this properly, another idea I had been considering before is a command that would swap the internal state of the sidebar whenever this happened. It's not a perfect solution but it would allow you to fix the problem and keep on working.

Update: Confirmed, is_sidebar_visible() can query the state and set_sidebar_visible(flag) can absolutely set it. I think that changing to use those will break ST2 compatibility but I have never tried this on ST2 and I doubt anyone else is using it there.

I'm going to close this issue and continue the work in #3.
