Hi there, just wanted to share my experience in migrating from my beloved textmate onto sublime, which all in all has been absolutely painless.
The main reasons I did the switch are as follows:
- finally I’ll be able to work on the same editor independently of what Os my next work environment will put me on!
- textmate had got me for it’s simplicity and its ability to be extended via simple scripts, and sublime just excels at those characteristics.
- sublime can be customized via config sctipts, as opposed to textmate which almost can’t be customized at all.
- well, last point but not that unimportant, textmate’s file pane, even if loaded with plugins, was still a piece of abandonware.
I’ve been lurking around waiting for a few things to be implemented, and one after another each issue I had has been solved, from the files pane being a bit too “original” to the search and replace in multiple files.
I’m still not entirely happy with the auto_complete, I’d love to see an alternative command to just cycle through the available completitions without the popup, anyhow, here’s how I arranged some shortcuts to feel a bit more at home:
{ "keys": "super+shift+t"], "command": "show_overlay", "args": {"overlay": "goto", "text": "@"} },
{ "keys": "super+l"], "command": "show_overlay", "args": {"overlay": "goto", "text": ":"} },
{ "keys": "super+r"], "command": "build" },
{ "keys": "escape"], "command": "auto_complete", "context":
{ "key": "panel_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false },
{ "key": "auto_complete_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false },
{ "key": "overlay_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false },
{ "key": "has_prev_field", "operator": "equal", "operand": false },
{ "key": "has_next_field", "operator": "equal", "operand": false }
]
}
]
Thanks to the author of sublime, great work : )
