Sublime text editor tricks

Sublime is not a bad text editor for Linux:

Mount a remote directory:  sshfs username@hostname:/remote/path /local/path

Put a vertical line after 80 characters: Preferences > Settings - User > ... add an entry: "rulers": [80]

Change syntax highlighting coloursPreferences > Browse Packages > Color Scheme - Default > ... edit the Color Scheme file you are using.

{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/All Hallow's Eve.tmTheme",
"font_size": 10,
    "rulers": [80],
    "auto_complete": false
}


Shortcuts:

  • Shift-F11 = Enter "concentration" mode AKA "distraction free" mode
