Sublime Text plugin - close tabs containing deleted files on refocus

close_deleted_files.py

"""
When a view is focused, goes through all open tabs and closes those, whose files don't exist anymore.
Tested in Sublime Text 3.0

class MyEvents(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
    def on_activated(self, view):
        window = view.window()

        open_views = window.views()

        for v in open_views:
            s = v.file_name()
            if s:
                if not os.path.exists(s):
                    print("Closing view", s)
                    v.set_scratch(True)
                    v.close() # undocumented, but works. if not, one can probably use below:

                    # window.focus_view(v)
                    # window.run_command("close_file")

Thank you for this! Works perfectly. Good riddance deleted files!

Insta-crashes Sublime Text 3 with no error message when I switch views to one with "orphan" tabs on macOS 10.14.2.

Update: the alternate focus_view + close_file works great :) Thanks for making this; been my #1 pet peeve with Sublime
