Hi

I am new to Sublime Text and i want to ask for the best plugins that will help me to write code more easy.

I plan to code html5/css3 and php most :smile:

Thanks

Hey, welcome! As a web developer myself, I use these plugins:

I focus on Git integration, FTP and being able to see colours when editing SCSS/CSS files.

Hope you find some use in them :smile:

If you’re running Sublime Text 3, you should try out my CSS3 package. It supports more of the CSS spec than any other plugin, and it has a full set of completions.

Please be sure to follow the installation instructions, which cover how to disable the default CSS package.

Emmet is extremely useful for webdev. Install with package control (search emmet)

As frontender, I write html*/css*/js + php, I can suggest:
https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/Emmet to speed-up dom creation
https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/SublimeLinter (among with js and css linters addon) to validate your css and js
https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/AutoFileName to easily link external resources (scripts, styles, images, etc) due to the lack of drag-commands of textmate/e-texteditor
https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/Git and https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/GitGutter if you are versioning your files
I also use https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/Color%20Highlighter to have a quick view of the colors in css declared in my less/css files (is usefull also for converting values from hex to rgb etc)

hope it helps

I’ve found Emmet to be too opinionated and Color Highlighter more irritating than useful, but YMMV.

I haven’t tried CSS3 before. That looks very useful.

@Martineau maintains a list of relevant packages here:
github.com/mrmartineau/SublimeT … c-Packages

And I also saw he has a relevant post here:
martineau.tv/2014/07/sublime-tex … velopment/

I use Sublime for prose writing, frontend dev and tweaking system settings, so my package list might be interesting:
github.com/alehandrof/sublime-s … e-settings

I find pacakges like Find++ or ColorPicker to be invaluable, for example, although not strictly frontend dev-related.

Hope some of this rambly answer helps,
Alex

I just realized why I haven’t bothered with any CSS packages: I haven’t written any CSS since 2012, maybe even earlier. It’s all Sass now (and there was a minor fling with Less but it didn’t last :smile:

Just installed the CSS3 plugin for ST3 and it is awesome. Can anyone suggest a plugin for HTML5? And possibly an XSLT plugin?

Looking forward to see GitGutter and Gutter Color to work well together. Would be nice if the color could be shown at the end of the line instead as webBoxio does in Atom. I’m not sure if it’s possible with sublime though.
