Sublime Text 4 was just released. A behavior change from Sublime Text 3/2 has been implemented. In new Sublime Text 4, if a window is already open when the User (me) uses the $ subl . command from the terminal, it takes me to the currently open Sublime Text window. This is not the behavior I want.
Previously in Sublime 3/2, subsequent use of $ subl . command would open a new Sublime Text window in this directory (I would now have 2 separate windows, both in this directory with all of this projects sub-directories in the sidebar).
How do I get Sublime Text 4 to open Additional Windows from the terminal? I would like to open multiple windows in the same project from the terminal.
Thank you.
The command line argument -n or --new-window tells subl to create a new window.
