Helpful Sublime Text packages
Published:
Keep forgetting the names of packages I like to install when setting up Sublime Text 2. Or that I should install them to begin with. So here's a note to self on packages I should install whenever I reinstall this fantastic editor. And a note to you if you use the editor and didn't know such helpful packages existed.
- Package Control
The package that adds a package manager to the editor. After that is installed, simply press Ctrl+Shift+p, bring up Install Package by typing "ip", and hit enter. You can then search for packages and install them super easy. - File Rename
Keyboard only renaming of files from within ST. - Highlight
For copying syntax highlighted code either as HTML or as RTF. Nice for pasting code into emails, documents, etc. - Indent XML
For... indenting XML. Been very helpful for cleaning up messy SOAP requests from logs, etc. - LESS
For syntax highlighting of LESS files - Markdown Preview
For quick preview of markdown files in the browser - Text Pastry
For fun pasting madness. You can for example paste in sequences of numbers. E.g. Ctrl+Alt+n and theni20
, will paste integers starting at 20 in all your cursors.
