Some things users love about Sublime Text
Goto Anything
Use Goto Anything to open files with only a few keystrokes, and instantly
jump to symbols, lines or words.
Triggered with Ctrl+P,
it is possible to:
- Type part of a file name to open it.
- Type
@ to
jump to symbols, # to
search within the file, and : to
go to a line number.
These shortcuts can be combined, so tp@rf may
take you to a function read_file within
a file text_parser.py.
Similarly, tp:100 would
take you to line 100 of the same file.
Multiple Selections
Make ten changes at the same time, not one change ten times. Multiple
selections allow you to interactively change many lines at once, rename
variables with ease, and manipulate files faster than ever.
Try pressing Ctrl+Shift+L to
split the selection into lines and Ctrl+D to
select the next occurrence of the selected word. To make multiple selections
with the mouse, take a look at the Column
Selectiondocumentation.
Command Palette
The Command Palette holds infrequently used functionality, like sorting,
changing the syntax and changing the indentation settings. With just a few
keystrokes, you can search for what you want, without ever having to
navigate through the menus or remember obscure key bindings.
Show the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P.
Distraction Free Mode
When you need to focus, Distraction Free Mode is there to help you out.
Distraction Free Mode is full screen, chrome free editing, with nothing but
your text in the center of the screen. You can incrementally show elements
of the UI, such as tabs and the find panel, as you need them.
You can enter Distraction Free Mode using the menu.
Split Editing
Get the most out of your wide screen monitor with split editing support.
Edit files side by side, or edit two locations in the one file. You can edit
with as many rows and columns as you wish.
Take advantage of multiple monitors by editing with multiple windows, and
using multiple splits in each window.
Take a look at the menu
for split editing options. To open multiple views into the one file, use the menu item.
Instant Project Switch
Projects in Sublime Text capture the full contents of the workspace,
including modified and unsaved files. You can switch between projects in a
manner similar to Goto Anything, and the switch is instant, with no save
prompts - all your modifications will be restored next time the project is
opened.
Plugin API
Sublime Text has a powerful, Python based plugin API.
Along with the API, it comes with a built in Python console to interactively
experiment in real time.
Customize Anything
Key Bindings, Menus, Snippets, Macros, Completions and more - just about
everything in Sublime Text is customizable with simple JSON files. This
system gives you flexibility as settings can be specified on a per-file type
and per-project basis.
Cross Platform
Sublime Text is available for OS X, Windows and Linux. One license is all
you need to use Sublime Text on every computer you own, no matter what
operating system it uses.
Sublime Text uses a custom UI toolkit, optimized for speed and beauty,
while taking advantage of native functionality on each platform.
