ColorPicker
A color picker plugin for Sublime Text.
Installation
Install this repository via Package Control.
Usage
To insert or change a selected color, use:
- Linux:
ctrl+shift+c - Windows:
ctrl+shift+c - macOS:
cmd+shift+c
Or use the menu action Tools > ColorPicker.
By default, the hex color code is inserted using uppercase letters (e.g., #ABCDEF). To use lowercase letters instead, copy the contents of Preferences > Package Settings > ColorPicker > Settings-Default to the empty file created by selecting Preferences > Package Settings > ColorPicker > Settings-User, then change "color_upper_case" to false.
Calling from Other Plugins
Two commands are provided to assist in calling a color picker from other plugins. Info is shared between the plugins via a settings file. It does not have to exist on disk; it can exist only in memory for the sole purpose of sharing the return. It is advised to use a unique name for the settings file. The data is returned in the settings key color_pick_return. It is advised to set color_pick_return to None in your settings file before calling any of the commands so you can tell if it set the variable or not.
ColorPickApiIsAvailableCommand
This command is used to test if ColorPicker is installed.
>>> settings = sublime.load_settings('my_shared.sublime-settings')
>>> settings.set('color_pick_return', None)
>>> sublime.run_command('color_pick_api_is_available', {'settings': 'my_shared.sublime-settings'})
>>> print(settings.get('color_pick_return'))
True
ColorPickApiGetColorCommand
This command is used to call a color picker and get the selected value. It takes a settings file and an optional default_color.
>>> settings = sublime.load_settings('my_shared.sublime-settings')
>>> settings.set('color_pick_return', None)
>>> sublime.run_command('color_pick_api_get_color', {'settings': 'my_shared.sublime-settings', 'default_color': '#ff0000'})
>>> print(settings.get('color_pick_return'))
