What is the most practical way to list all the installed packages in Sublime Text 3?

Question

I installed a bunch of packages lately on my Sublime Text 3 Editor. I don't keep track of what I installed, but now I would like to know all the packages that I've installed, just to keep as a reference.

I tried type : cmd + shift + P , then type : list

After see Pckage Control: List Packages then press Enter

I will then see all the list of packages. Great, but not yet perfect !

I'm wondering if there is a better way to list them in a much more readable format, can-copy them if possible.

Answer 1

Assuming you're using Package Control to install everything, you can get the full list of installed packages by going to Preferences -> Package Settings -> Package Control -> Settings-User. This will open up the user settings for Package Control in JSON format (just like all other Sublime settings files), and within it the "installed_packages" list contains every single package installed via Package Control, regardless of whether it includes a submenu in Preferences -> Package Settings or not.

It will look something like this.

{
    "bootstrapped": true,
    "in_process_packages":
    [
    ],
    "installed_packages":
    [
        "Package Control",
        "PyCover",
        "Python 3",
        "SublimeLinter",
        "SublimeLinter-csslint",
        "SublimeLinter-html-tidy",
        "SublimeLinter-jshint",
        "SublimeLinter-json",
        "SublimeLinter-lua",
        "SublimeLinter-pyflakes",
        "SublimeLinter-pyyaml",
        "SublimeREPL"
    ]
}

Based on this answer, I wrote a little shell script (sublpm, aka: Sublime Package Manager) in my dotfiles that reads from this file and lists the packages. In case it's helpful for anyone: github.com/0xdevalias/dotfiles/blob/devalias/bin/sublpm#L65-L71 – Overwrought

Answer 2

I just notice if we go to top menu and click on :

Sublime Text > Preferences > Package Settings

We will see a list of all the packages that we installed.

Please note that this only covers packages with settings... there might be packages which do not appear in this menu. – Sales

Answer 3

Try Preferences > Browser packages and it should open the folder on your hard disk where all the packages are installed.

This is only true for ST2, and in that case it includes the built-in packages as well as the third-party ones. In ST3 (which the OP is using), most packages (unless they contain a .no-sublime-package file) are zipped into .sublime-package files and stored in Installed Packages. See my answer for a way to get a list of all installed packages in text format. – Flatcar
