subl-open-file-prompt

Sublime Text 3 plugin, which implements 'Linux-styled' file open and save prompt with suggestions and autocompletion by 'Tab' key.

It has three different types of suggestions list (configurable in keyboard shortcut):

• scratch buffer
  • matched files and dirs displayed in columns in scratch buffer
  • files could be selected by mouse also
• status bar
  • matched files and dirs displayed only in status bar
• quick panel
  • matched files and directories displayed in quick panel

Basic idea and source for improvements was taken from prompt_open_file_path.py from cg-sublime by Chris Guilbeau.
