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.
