Sublime Text 2: Tips for moving over
I’m a long time Coda user. A few months ago I, like everyone else, decided to switch over to vim. I really liked Vim but just couldn’t get the hang of it for whatever reason. 1. If you do a lot of work in bash, its helpful to open up a file or entire folder in your editor right from the command line. To Install: Run the following line in your terminal.sudo ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /bin/subl This will then give you access to the bash command subl with a number of arguments. The most basic usage is to open the current folder in Sublime Text 2. subl -ab tutorial.html opens the file tutorial.html in the current window but keeps terminal in focus. 2. This was one of the biggest annoyances for me when switching over from coda. HitCommand + Shift + P to bring up the sublime launcher type “user global settings and hit enter.

Sublime Text 2 for Ruby
Matz has said he wants Ruby to be the “80% language”, the ideal tool for 80% of software development. After switching from TextMate to Sublime Text 2 (ST2) a few months ago, I believe it’s the “80% editor”. You should switch to it, especially if you’re using TextMate. Why Sublime Text 2? Speed. Getting Started I’ve helped a handful of new ST2 users get setup over the past few months. Install the subl command line tool. Leveling Up with Custom Commands Sublime Text 2 makes it dead simple to write your own commands and key bindings in Python. Copy the path of the current file to the clipboard. New key bindings are installed by dropping Python class files in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User and then binding them from Default (OSX).sublime-keymap in the same directory. Neil Sarkar, my colleague, wrote most of the code for all of the above within a few weeks of switching to ST2. Running RSpec from Sublime Text 2 This is my favorite part of my Sublime Text 2 config.
Getting Started with Sublime Text 2 - opensoul.org
I recently switched to Sublime Text 2 from TextMate. I did not love it at first. As it goes with many of the finer things in life, Sublime is an acquired taste. Here are a few tips that made it easier for me to get into it. Command palette Think of the command palette as Alfred for your code editor. Package Control If you feel like something is missing from Sublime, then there is probably a plugin for it. To use package control, press ⌘⇧P to bring up the command palette, begin to type “install”, and select “ Package Control: Install Package ”. Beat the ugly out of it I cannot figure out a nice way to say this, so I will just say it: out of the box, Sublime is hideous. Update: The new default theme is actually much better. Start by installing the Soda UI theme via Package Control. Ahh, that is better. The syntax highlighting theme that comes with Sublime is alright, but everyone has their favorite theme. Ok, now we can stand to look at it. Opening a project Customizing Settings One more thing

Textmate vs Sublime 2 - Phx Tag Soup
Day 10 of the 30 Day Writing Challenge I love, and I mean LOVE TextMate. It was my baby up until this year. TextMate did some amazing things, but their lack of updates started to wear on me. I had seen a few friends starting to use Sublime Text 2 and, at first, totally ignored their praise of the product. Works on all platforms TextMate: OSX Only Sublime: OSX, Linux, Windows Clear choice there. Selecting Lines of Code TextMate: cmd-shift-L Sublime: cmd-L I don’t think I need to explain what this keystroke is doing.

TextMate: When you have an entire line selected (cmd-L), it will move the line up or down one line at a time. Sublime: Performs the same when the entire line is selected and when the cursor is on a line of code. Wrapping the guts TextMate: cmd-shift-w Sublime: cmd-shift-w Both applications do the same thing. Wrap multiple lines: Bundles
