Thank you very much for the detailed explanation of problems you had using this plugin. I converted it to issues and will fix soon: https://github.com/shagabutdinov/sublime-shell-status/issues. BTW, you can help me fixing it by open PRs.

I had some minor "issues" after I installed ShellStatus and its dependency StatusMessage using package manager. These may be true for rest of the packages as well, luckily they are all 1-2 minute fixes at most, so they are just small quirks. https://github.com/shagabutdinov/sublime-shell-status The installation instruction said: "There is 'sublime-status' file in this package. Put it in your 'bin' folder..." I put it in my bin folder, but it didn't read it. This was because on line 20 at shell_status.py, you -only- looked into package folder(and none of "bin") if the default wasn't changed. so unless I changed the settings and put some other name as my command, putting "shell-status" file in my bin folders wouldn't work, thus putting the default file in "bin" doesn't do any good. Just a mismatch between the documentation and code I suppos

Read the rest

e. It also didn't create a ShellStatus/ folder under Packages/, which is the place you look for commands, so I had to create that as well. There was also no entry for settings under "Package Settings", so I had to find the settings at Packages/User/ShellStatus.sublime-settings, it would've been better if I could go Prefences>Package Settings>ShellStatus like I can do with other packages. Also the example on that page doesn't work, but again this is a minor detail too. There is no "<?php", so it just prints the file content itself. If you just add "<?php" after the comment it works. http://hastebin.com/ezirazekaf.php I also have a request for anyone developing sublime plugins: I want to execute a shell command while I am working on the file, in-line. This is similar to some of your plugins, so I thought you may be interested. The output could be a comment. This would be useful when developing cli files, or just standard files if we can call it with "php arg1 arg2" or just "arg1 arg2" and have this file run with the correct path, get its output. Some plugins offer terminal access, but it is done in a separate/embedded window and the output is in console or a new file, and they offer no shortcuts to "just run the current file" Anyways, thanks for the plugin. I will be using some of this.
