Config Popup

As mentioned in the README for scratch_files, a lot of the time while helping people with a problem, it is necessary to check into a configuration file to get default settings, etc. Some (but not all) options for this are available in the command palette, and it is annoying to use the menu for this.

Come to think of it, Sublime has taught me that the menu is evil in general because it's not as smart as a fuzzy filtered command palette. So if you take those reasons and add in my desire to also be able to easily edit project specific settings AND wanting to play with the Sublime API, you get this.

Basically this is a simple pop-up that provides the most often used (by me) configuration options. Additionally, if you have a project open, an option appears to edit settings for this project as well, which will open up the current project file in a split pane with the default settings on the left.

When editing a project in this manner, the code ensures that there is a settings field in the project if there is not one already, so that you can simply go in and add your settings without having to mess around with the structure of the project itself.

This is ugly as all get out, and I have plans to ultimately try to pull all configuration items from the menu into it, so it may get updated some day.

Usage

The simplest way to use this would be to drop this entire folder into your Sublime Text Packages folder, where it will become a package.

The important part of this is the python source file. If desired you can just put it directly into some package (e.g. your User package) and use it that way. It adds a command called show_preferences_popup that does what it says on the tin.

The key bindings in this file map super+, to this command, which on MacOS overwrites the default key binding for opening the preferences with this command. You can of course modify these as needed, delete them and use your own, etc.
