[quote=“void.pointer”]I like the interface for it, but it still needs some work. Just using it for 5 minutes, I’ve already decided I can’t buy it for these reasons:
- I opened a 500MB text file with about 10 million lines of text. The load time was horribly slow, it took about 2-3 minutes to load the file.
- No CMake syntax highlighting
- Can’t figure out how to add my own syntax highlighting (doesn’t seem that I can)
- Settings use text files instead of UI, this is absolutely horrible.
I hope these get addressed in the future![/quote]

I have a lot of problems with Sublime slowing down on large text files too, so I agree with you on this one.

You need Package Control, an absolutely essential plugin for ST2. It’s a wonder why it’s not built in. But after you install it, you can just do Cmd+Shift+N and then type in install and then search for Cmake. The whole thing takes less than 5 seconds to install.

You can add your own syntax highlighting in the SublimeText/Packages or SublimeText/Packages/User directory. Typically, you will want to store them in the User directory if you’re writing a theme or if you want to write a syntax highlighting file for Cmake for example, you just name the file CMake.tmLanguage, define your highlights under there and save it in the folder SublimeText/Packages/CMake

In my opinion, the JSON format ST2 uses for its preferences are a big plug. Imagine having a big ugly GUI for 100s of preferences.
Also, nettuts recently made a great introduction to ST2 that includes it’s advantages, how to use Package Control, multiple cursors, working with Projects, etc. Give it a look: net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/p … ee-course/[/quote]
This is awesome info, thank you. I did get the CMake syntax highlighting package installed but I have no idea how to customize the colors, font bold/italic/underline settings for keywords, etc…
