The text editor you’ll fall in love with…

Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose.

Install

I’m still using version2 that you can download here.
Then drag to your dock for easy access.

After evaluation you can buy a licence here.

Setup

Set Sublime as your default text editor

1. Find the file type you’d like to open with a specific app, and select it
2. Click on the File menu and select Get Info
3. Expand Open with: by clicking on the triangle to the left
4. Select the Open with: menu, then choose the app you’d like to use to open all documents like that one

(ref)

Use a different icon

I prefer this icon to match the Yosemite ones

To change an apps icon:

1. Right click the app in finder (eg applications/Sublime Text 2) and choose “Get Info”
2. Drag and drop the new icon on the small, top left icon in the Get Info panel

Install package manager

For simpler installation of sublime packages (add-ons) first install the package manager:

Follow these instructions

You can then open the command pallette with cmd+shift+p and then type Install package to search for packages to install

Add other colour schemes

Change the default colour scheme using Preferences > Colour scheme

I like Solarized dark, although its not very good for markdown, so I’m currently using Cobalt

Other interesting packages

• Clickable URLs
• Solarized colour scheme
• Neon color scheme for working with JSON plus view .geojson as type “json” not “text” - its under View > Syntax > Javascript (& View > Syntax > Open all …)

Tips

Cmd-J = join lines
Use to convert multi lines (select all to do all in one 1 go) into 1 line (that can view over multi lines with word wrap)
