A Sublime Text package that enhances the sidebar with file management tools like move to trash, clipboard, and rename/move operations.
Side Bar Enhancements is a Sublime Text package that extends the sidebar's functionality with advanced file and folder management tools. It solves common workflow issues by providing features like safe deletion to trash, clipboard operations, and intelligent file renaming that preserves editor state. The package replaces Sublime Text's default sidebar menus with a more comprehensive set of options.
Sublime Text users who frequently manage files and folders within the editor and want more efficient, safer operations than the default sidebar provides.
Developers choose Side Bar Enhancements because it adds essential file management capabilities that Sublime Text lacks out-of-the-box, particularly safe deletion and better clipboard support, while maintaining seamless integration with the editor's workflow.

Replaces permanent deletion with 'move to trash' using the 'send2trash' library, preventing accidental data loss as mentioned in the README.
Automatically closes and re-opens files during rename/move operations, maintaining editor state and avoiding broken tabs, which streamlines workflow.
Adds copy, cut, and paste for files and folders directly from the sidebar, filling a gap in Sublime Text's default functionality.
Allows folder promotion/demotion without deletion, enabling easy project organization as described in the 'Default Menu Items' section.
Requires creating empty files in the Default package directory to suppress default menus, a non-intuitive process that can confuse users.
The July 2023 simplification introduced changes that may disrupt workflows, forcing users to manually revert via GitHub if they prefer the old version.
Exclusively designed for Sublime Text, so enhancements don't transfer to other editors, limiting portability for multi-tool environments.
