Sublime Text 2 keyboard shortcut to open file in specified browser (e.g. Chrome)

Question

I do web development and am trying out Sublime Text 2. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the current file in specified browser (e.g. Chrome)?

Any help to get set

Answer 1

You can install SideBarEnhancements plugin, which among other things will give you ability to open file in browser just by clicking F12.

To open exactly in Chrome, you will need to fix up “Side Bar.sublime-settings” file and set "default_browser" to be "chrome".

Answer 2

Tools -> Build System -> New Build System. The type following as your OS, save as Chrome.sublime-build

Windows OS

  {
        "cmd": ["C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe", "$file"]
  }

MAC Os

{
   "cmd": ["open", "-a", "/Applications/Google Chrome.app", "$file"]
}

Save the file - Chrome.sublime-build in location

C:\Users\xnivirro\Downloads\Software-Installed\Sublime-2\Data\Packages\User

Sublime View in Browswer - https://github.com/adampresley/sublime-view-in-browser (Tried with Linux and it works)

Answer 3

Windows7 FireFox/Chrome:

    {
       "cmd":["F:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe","$file"]
    }

just use your own path of firefox.exe or chrome.exe to replace mine.

Replace firefox.exe or chrome.exe with your own path.
