Sublime really want you to buy their 'Sublime Merge' tool to control Git. But in 4.0 there is a new Print capability, which renders the document in your default browser for onward printing, for whatever reason you might have to want to do that. I havent printed a listing since I had a dot matrix printer with 132 column listing paper decades ago. Sublime Text isn't a word processor designed for printing documents, so for years it has had no print support. Optionally, you can make Sublime Text the editor for all your command line activities and scripts. % echo 'export PATH="/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin:$PATH"' > ~/.zprofile To do this you'll need to tell macOS where the command resides, hidden away inside the application folder structure. So it is a joy that Sublime Text contains the subl command so that you can access Sublime Text from your command line and even set it as your default command line editor by setting the EDITOR variable. While that is still true it is nice to be able to edit Unix (and Linux) based system configuration files using something a little bit less arcane. "You'll always be able to get to an editor at the command line to get yourself out of trouble if you know how to use it", they said. One of the things you learned at Sun Microsystems in the 80s was how to use 'vi'. This results in a fluid UI all the way up to 8K resolutions, while using less power than before.

Sublime Text will now utilize your GPU by default on macOS to render the interface. In version 4, the auto complete engine provides smarter completions based on existing code in a project, as well as syntactically correct language and HTML. There are helpful shortcuts for indentation and almost all the other menu items too.Īuto complete shows a completion popup as you type, so that you can fill in syntax without errors by typing just a few characters. This too, to me, is a helpful way of spotting issues in text or code. Indentation and line management - the editor kind not the human resources kindĪs one example of the power in Sublime, I find myself using Sublime Text for sorting out indentation issues in code all the time. There are new themes in 4.0 with support for dark and light appearance too. I have always loved the original default theme. Syntax highlighting is also pleasingly done in Sublime. Column selection is something that when you need it you really need it! Multiple item editing was a revolutionary way to edit all instances of a particular piece of text - for example a variable name - invaluable time saver for developers. I grew to love the default theme Monokai too. Sublime Text became my editor of choice because it supports column selection and multiple item editing.
