[P101-09] Introduction to Sublime Text Input Handlers
It can often be necessary to gather some input from a user in order for a command to know what exactly it should do. However we know that commands take explicit arguments, so how do we gather this kind of information? The answer is Input Handlers.
Sublime Text allows commands to prompt the user for the values of missing arguments in a free form manner, allowing for gathering arbitrary strings of text, choosing items from a list, doing input validation and even providing a preview of what the command can do.
In this lesson we go over the very basics of input handlers and how to implement them, to gain a foundation on which to show some of the more advanced capabilities of this powerful feature.
