Create file from shortcut (Alt+N) doesn't create file from current opened file's containing folder about filemanager

I'm glad to see some other plugins are picking up using MkDocs 🙂 .

It isn't an expected behavior, but it's definitely a good idea. Maybe you haven't read the docs? In this case, you're very likely to be missing on some stuff that'll save you time. In this case, you can use the alias $here (which is just an alias for the alias $file_path). So, just $here/ and then your file name will do the trick.

Typing $here/ all the time's gonna annoy you, I know. What you can do is add an other shortcut (or overwrite the original one) so that the initial text is $here/. In my case, here's what I've done:

{
    "keys": ["ctrl+n"],
    "command": "fm_create",
    "args": {
        "initial_text": "$here/"
    }    
}

Just to let you know, the expected behavior is that the "base" is the first folder (you can see it by showing the side bar). If there is none, then it picks the currently focused file.

So, I really recommend you have a look at the docs. In this case, you want to look here.

What I can also do is add a setting so that is always uses the currently focused file, whether there is a folder in the current window or not. Would you like to have that? or the current solution works fine for you?

@math2001 I did read your (super awesome) docs, but I guess I missed out the important bits about the order of file creation location 😅

anyway, your sugesstion about setting inittial_text works like a charm! So I don't think we need to complicate your plugin further with a setting to always uses the current focused file

No worries! 😉

I did read your (super awesome) docs

What do you find "super awesome" about it? The theme? In this case, I agree. It's Material on mkdocs.

@math2001 yes the theme and the amount of details you've put into, haven't seen anything like that for a Sublime Text plugin before :)

haven't seen anything like that for a Sublime Text plugin before :)

Thank you! Maybe you haven't used any packages of @facelessuser then... He's the one that told me to use mkdocs. And he changed his theme to Material too (he use to use the readthedocs one). These docs are full of details too
