If you File > Find in Files... ⇧+⌘+F you\'re brought to the Find Results, listing the files and highl

Answer 1

It appears a plugin has been created to do this. Took a quick look, there are some additional features in the plugin. While my original answer below will work, it will be much easier to install an existing plugin.

Doable with a plugin.

import sublime
import sublime_plugin
import re
import os
class FindInFilesGotoCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        view = self.view
        if view.name() == "Find Results":
            line_no = self.get_line_no()
            file_name = self.get_file()
            if line_no is not None and file_name is not None:
                file_loc = "%s:%s" % (file_name, line_no)
                view.window().open_file(file_loc, sublime.ENCODED_POSITION)
            elif file_name is not None:
                view.window().open_file(file_name)

    def get_line_no(self):
        view = self.view
        if len(view.sel()) == 1:
            line_text = view.substr(view.line(view.sel()[0]))
            match = re.match(r"\s*(\d+).+", line_text)
            if match:
                return match.group(1)
        return None

    def get_file(self):
        view = self.view
        if len(view.sel()) == 1:
            line = view.line(view.sel()[0])
            while line.begin() > 0:
                line_text = view.substr(line)
                match = re.match(r"(.+):$", line_text)
                if match:
                    if os.path.exists(match.group(1)):
                        return match.group(1)
                line = view.line(line.begin() - 1)
        return None

Set up a key binding with the command find_in_files_goto. Be careful when doing this though. Ideally, there would be some setting that identifies this view as the "Find In Files" view, so you could use that as a context. But I'm not aware of one. Of course, if you do find one, let me know.

Edit Pulling up the example key binding into the main body of the answer.

{
    "keys": ["enter"],
    "command": "find_in_files_goto",
    "context": [{
        "key": "selector",
        "operator": "equal",
        "operand": "text.find-in-files"
    }]
}
