I recently started using Sublime, and I think it’s a great editor.
Here are some issues that I think should be addressed, mostly user interface issues:
-
The scrollbars are very difficult to see, they are dark gray on dark gray background. I don’t have perfect vision and it’s very difficult to quickly see where to click on the scrollbar because I have to focus on it to see the differences in the shades of dark grays. Make the moveable bar more lighter gray please.
-
Can’t find any way to associate certain filetypes to a certain syntax. I have to go to View->Syntax and select the correct syntax every time I open files of certain type that isn’t associated to the right syntax by default.
-
I have used Notepad++ and I just LOVE how powerful the editor is with regards of encoding. You can quickly see in what encoding the open file is by selecing Encoding from the menu, e.g. “ANSI, UTF8”, and you can quickly convert an open file into another encoding format, e.g. from ANSI to UTF8 or UTF8 to ANSI and it converts characters.
There’s a capability to save a doc with a certain encoding in Sublime, but there’s no way to see what the current encoding is! -
Zoom level on the preview scrollbar.
-
Very difficult to see if a open doc has been modified and not saved. The “x” changes to a filled “o” if it’s been modified, but this is very difficult to spot. The font in the tab should change, like from being normal to being bold, and once you save it should go back to normal weight.
Thanks.
