Sublime Text¶
The be-all end all of text editors. Sublime Text contains the most intuitive interface I've ever used, and its gorgeous. It also is built on a slew of performance oriented programming with tons of black majick tricks that allow you to open multi-gigabyte files, and perform some incredibly advanced editing procedures. You can usually get away using sublime text where you would have to normally write a 50 line python script to deal with something.
Installation¶
Notepad Replacer: Makes Sublime Text take over Notepad.
Licensing¶
REDACTED
Customizations¶
Tab Context: open containing folder¶
Preferences->Browse Packages-> go into the "User" folder and dump this in (or edit it if it exists).
Open Folder with Sublime Text¶
This will add to a folder's context menu, and the background context menu of a directory, an "Open with Sublime Text" entry. Sublime Text supports directories wonderfully.
Packages¶
Ctrl+Shift+P opens the command menu, from there install Package Control.
Now you can install packages from the command menu via Package Control: Install Package
