Sublime Text 3 in Cmder - How do I launch Sublime and move the terminal to the left or top side of the screen?


In Cmder, it is possible to configure and launch Sublime Text 3 using aliases located in the following directory "%CMDER_ROOT%/config/user_aliases.bat".

Referring to the source: Seamless-Sublime-Text-3-Integration, It states how to split the screen in the Cmder Terminal using -new_console:s50V or -new_console:s50H.

However, if we would like to start Sublime console at the Top or Left side of the screen, then we have to approach things differently. How to achieve this effect?


Solution

    1. Make sure that you have set the following virtual environment variables - %CMDER_ROOT% and %ConEmuDir%.

    2. Make sure that you have already installed and configured Sublime Text 3 for Cmder.

    3. Open "%CMDER_ROOT%/config/user_aliases.bat" in the preferred editor.

    4. Include the following aliases at the new line

      subl_left="%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* -new_console:s75H $t cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%..\init.bat" $* -new_console:s25H $t exit

      subl_top="%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* -new_console:s75V $t cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%..\init.bat" $* -new_console:s25V $t exit


    5. Restart Cmder.exe and check if everything is working by calling the newly defined aliases in the terminal subl_top or subl_left.



    "%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" $* -new_console:s
    Includes Sublime Text 3 in the terminal.

    $t cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%\..\init.bat" $* -new_console:s
    Creates new terminal.

    $t exit Kills the first terminal which launched the previous two commands.
