Hello all –
I’m looking for a good code + writing editor on Windows and bought the E text editor last year because of TextMate support, but am looking for alternatives now that the E development seems to have slowed / stalled. I’m trying out Sublime and like its minimalism, but there are some things around TM bundles that I miss from E and am wondering whether they are truly missing or simply more subtly available in the UI.
For example:
-
In the E Texteditor bundles show up (among other things) as menus with commands. I can’t find similar bundles-based menus in Sublime – are these commands still there? For example, is there a way I can tell whether Sublime will help me cleaning up my HTML via a call out to tidy.
-
Similarly, in E, I can browse a bundle’s keybindings in the UI so I see what is available. Is there some way in the UI to see the key-bindings that are available? For example, some way to tell me (without browsing the bundle code) that in an HTML document, hitting a and tab will insert a hyperlink snippet?
I realize that Sublime doesn’t support drop-in replacement of TM bundles, but the above features don’t seem to be present even for the provided bundles/packages. I’m a complete Sublime newbie so I may not fully grok e.g. bundles vs packages vs plugins in Sublime, but I couldn’t find a clear answer to this in the manuals.
Thanks!
Ramon
