It essentially allows you to generate tons of great boilerplate code using its own little language. If you are a web dev this is your package.
SUBLIME TEXT SHORTCUTS INSTALL
Fuzzy searching here can quickly bring up other packages including the tool in our next tip.Ģ) Emmet Package (formally known as ZenCoding) – Once you install Package Control, you can use it to install the package Emmet. Hit enter and it will show you a list of all the packages you can install. This is usually enough to bring up the “Package Control: Install Package” menu item. Once you install this, you can open up command palette using Ctrl + Shift + P and just type “install”. You can use fuzzy search to find a package to install also which is really nice. I am not one for addons or anything, but this is definitely a must for helping you install other addons down the road. My Favorite Packagesġ) Install Package Control – This is a package that you should immediately install when you first fire up Sublime.

I have to say that it is so uber fantastic that I am trying to convert everything I am doing to it instead of Notepad++. This change gave me the courage to then try other editors when they come out and now I work in Sublime Text 2. In the last 3 years or so I started getting into Notepad++ and it was fantastic! It quickly became my editor of choice for scripting languages like JavaScript or PHP. I was a notepad user for many years and still use it from time to time for when I need to clean something up (remove formatting before plunking it in Word). Then of course if I wasn’t writing a paper for school or anything then Works was a bit of overkill… so notepad it was.
