Sublime Text - Command Classes

In a sublime plugin we define a subclass of a Command class, or better a “command sub-class”, when we want to define a command or function using the sublime API, for example when we want to use the view methods

• sublime_plugin.TextCommand
• sublime_plugin.WindowCommand
• Sublime Text - ‘sublime_plugin.ApplicationCommand’ Class

The differences between the two is only when they are defined in the “timeline”:

• The sublime_plugin.TextCommand classes are instantiated once per view. The View object may be retrieved via self.view
• The sublime_plugin.WindowCommand classes are instantiated once per window. The Window object may be retrieved via self.window
• The sublime_plugin.ApplicationCommand classes.
