Sublime Text 2: Disable 'Goto Anything' Preview

sublimetext, sublimetext2, sublimetext3

Solution

I am not entirely positive you really can disable it entirely, as it is something that works as part of the editor.

The only settings related to the preview I can find are `"preview_on_click"` and it specifically makes mention of the sidebar. I am not aware of this having any effect on the goto anything overlay.

The one other thing dealing with the goto anything overlay and previews, is the `"binary_file_patterns"` setting, but this will probably tell st2 to treat any file you specify in there as binary... not sure we want that.

Problem

Is there a way to disable the document preview when using Goto Anything / Ctrl+P in Sublime Text 2? I've done a lot of searching but the most recent information I've found seems to be a bit old (such as http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5895) and for the most part only related to disabling preview from a single click in the sidebar. I would like to use Ctrl+P to open files by typing in their path, but having a dozen or so files flash open for a second is annoying; plus, frequently I'm typing in a path from the file open in the current tab, and once preview comes up I can't see the path any more. Thanks!
