Go to Anything
Triggered with ⌘P
Fuzzy match to find files in your current project
Then use the @ to search for symbols
Or use # to search for text
Or use : to go to a line number
Command Palette
Triggered with ⌘⇧P
Using the command palette you can access almost any menu option without having to take your hands off the keyboard.
Switch all tabs to spaces:
⌘⇧P -> spa
the menu option "Indentation: Convert to Spaces" will show up
Split Editing
You can split your editor view to have a mixture of Rows and Columns.
You can also have the same file open in two different panes.
This is particularly useful if you are working in a LONG document and you don't want to have to scroll up and down the whole time you're working on it.
Multiple Selections
By using ⌘ and your mouse you can create multiple cursors
By using ^⇧↓(or ↑ ) you can add next (or previous) lines to your multi cursor.
If you select multiple lines using your mouse ⌘⇧L will create a cursor on each line for your selection.
Instant Project Switch
Projects are a pretty common concept. It allows you to take a folder, save it as a project.
You can then use ⌘^P to switch between projects

Package Control
https://sublime.wbond.net/
Best site ever.
If you're using ST2 or ST3 you can install package control.
Installing packages is as easy as using the Command Palette and typing the first few letters of package and install
Then start typing the package you want to install
Plugins are Python
Simple plugin I wrote:
https://github.com/fxdgear/Sublime-Plugins
Using the F7 key you can insert ipdb debug statements.
Using ⇧F7 will remove them all
Now the cool stuff
Some of the plugins I use:
-
Modific
- SublimeGit
-
Github
- RESTer HTTP Client
- SublimeLinter
- Python PEP8 AutoFormat
Modific
Highlight lines changed since the last commit (supports Git, SVN, Bazaar and Mercurial) / ST2(3) plugin
If you've been editing a file and you're not sure which lines have been change from the last commit.
Hitting ^⎇D will show the diff of the current file
SublimeGit
To really grasp the power of this plugin please spend sometime reading the docs: https://sublimegit.net/
This brings your gitworkflow INTO sublimetext.
It's all powered by the Command Palette.
Github
Will connect to your github account and interface with your gists.
I typically use this to copy a selection and upload it to gist.github.com
It's really nice cause after the gist has been uploaded the url to the gist is copied to your clipboard.
RESTer HTTP Client
Simply put turns ST into a restful client.
Will open the response in a new tab.
Sublimelinter
A utility that will lint your code as you type.
Can be setup to lint multiple languages
- python
- javascript
- css
- ruby
-
etc...
Python Pep8 Auto-format
Can be configured to pep8 format your code on save.
Or you can access the PEP8 AutoFormat via the Command Palette to automatically format your code according to PEP 8 standards.
