Question

I have found the following Sublime command to be really useful since it opens an explorer window at the location of the current file:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+o"], "command": "open_dir", "args": {"dir": "$file_path", "file": "$file_name"} },

What I would love is a similar command that will open a cmd window instead. Ideally at the root project folder, but current file directory would also be fine.

Have read the following question, but can’t quite figure out how to use this in a sublime plugin/command:
BAT file to open CMD in current directory

Answer 1

1. Click the menu preference > Browser Packages in Sublime Text 2.
2. Create a folder Cmd in the directory opened in step 1.
3. Create a python file named cmd.py with the following code in the Cmd folder created in step 2.

import os, sublime_plugin
class CmdCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        file_name=self.view.file_name()
        path=file_name.split("\\")
        current_driver=path[0]
        path.pop()
        current_directory="\\".join(path)
        command= "cd "+current_directory+" & "+current_driver+" & start cmd"
        os.system(command)

4. Create a file named Context.sublime-menu with the following code in the Cmd folder created in step 2.

[
     { "command": "cmd" }
]

5. Restart Sublime Text.

Now you can open the Cmd prompt at the current directory in the right-click context menu.
