Title: Sublime Text 2 Love
|
|
Category: Python
|
|
Featured: True
|
|
|
|
I'm happy to announce that [Sublime Text 2](http://www.sublimetext.com/2) was officially released today!
|
|
|
|
This is awesome news. I've spend 12+ hours a day for the past year and a half in Sublime Text 2. It is indeed sublime.
|
|
|
|
## Why should you try it?
|
|
|
|
- It's light and fast
|
|
- It's cross-platform
|
|
- Chrome-like tabs
|
|
- Split window layouts!
|
|
- It's not [vaporware](https://twitter.com/#!/wastm2released)
|
|
- It supports TextMate Bundles and Themes!
|
|
- It's fully scripted with an embedded Python interpreter, making it nicely extensible
|
|
|
|
## Beautiful
|
|
|
|
My editor looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is comprised of a few things:
|
|
|
|
### Soda Theme Dark
|
|
|
|
This is a nice alternative to the default "skin" of Sublime. It comes in both light and dark flavors. You can grab it [on GitHub](https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/).
|
|
|
|
### Tomorrow Night
|
|
|
|
[Tomorrow Night](https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme/tree/master/textmate) is my current favorite color scheme for syntax highlighting. I've cycled through around with [quite](https://github.com/kennethreitz/krTheme.tmTheme) a [few](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) in the past, but this one is really something special.
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu Mono
|
|
|
|
I'm pretty passionate about monospace typefaces. Over the years, I've been a heavy supporter of Monaco, MS Consalas, Inconsolas, Menlo, and finally Ubuntu Mono.
|
|
|
|
Simply the greatest programming font ever made. [Download it here](http://font.ubuntu.com/).
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
I've optimized my settings for Python development.
|
|
|
|
- Hidden sidebar
|
|
- Disabled minimap
|
|
- Disabled fold buttons
|
|
- All whitespace drawn
|
|
- Auto-trim trailing whitespace
|
|
- PEP8-esque line rulers (79 for code, 72 for docstrings)
|
|
|
|
Here's my user config file:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"auto_complete": false,
|
|
"close_windows_when_empty": false,
|
|
"color_scheme": "Packages/User/Tomorrow-Night.tmTheme",
|
|
"draw_white_space": "all",
|
|
"find_selected_text": true,
|
|
"fold_buttons": false,
|
|
"font_face": "Ubuntu Mono",
|
|
"font_options":
|
|
[
|
|
"subpixel_antialias"
|
|
],
|
|
"font_size": 13.0,
|
|
"highlight_line": true,
|
|
"rulers":
|
|
[
|
|
72, 79
|
|
],
|
|
"theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme",
|
|
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
|
|
"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true,
|
|
"folder_exclude_patterns": [".svn", ".git", ".hg", "CVS", "_build", "dist", "build", "site"]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
Here's a quick list of things that I didn't pick up on immediately when migrating from vim.
|
|
|
|
### Subl
|
|
|
|
Sublime text has nice mate-esque commandline launcher called 'subl' hidden in its distribution. To make it available universally:
|
|
|
|
$ ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/subl
|
|
|
|
Once Installed, you can run it anywhere to open a fresh project/window:
|
|
|
|
$ subl .
|
|
|
|
Due to muscle memory burn-in, I also recommend:
|
|
|
|
alias mate='subl -w'
|
|
|
|
### Shortcuts
|
|
|
|
*Shift + Command + P: Command Palette*
|
|
|
|
This nifty window pops up and gives you a list of available commands in your current context (e.g. Package Control: Install Package).
|
|
|
|
*Command + T: Go to File*
|
|
|
|
Pretty standard stuff. Jumps to the file you select.
|
|
|
|
*Command + R: Go to Symbol*
|
|
|
|
Use this to hop to any symbol definition in your current file.
|
|
|
|
*Command + P: Go to Anything*
|
|
|
|
Use this to hop to any file, symbol, or line in your current project.
|
|
|
|
### Location
|
|
|
|
On OS X, the location of the Sublime configuration is:
|
|
|
|
/Users/kreitz/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/
|
|
|
|
## Plugins
|
|
|
|
While Sublime does support Textmate Bundles, it also has a robust Python-powered plugin and extension system that allows for some very cool plugins that weren't possible with TextMate.
|
|
|
|
### Package Control
|
|
|
|
The first thing you need to install is [Package Control](http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control). It's essentially Homebrew for Sublime packages. It'll save you tons of time.
|
|
|
|
### Sublime Linter
|
|
|
|
This wonderful plugin gives you instant feedback about the code you're writing, as you're writing it. It has fantastic PyLint + PEP8 support out of the box. You can install it via Package Control. Learn more [on GitHub](https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter).
|
|
|
|
### Sublime CodeIntel
|
|
|
|
Maintianed by the same developer as SublimeLint, CodeIntel gives you IDE-style functionality with intelligent code completion, import suggestions, and go-to definition support.
|
|
|
|
It's really nice to have sometimes. I typically have it disabled. Give it a spin and see what you think. You can install it via Package Control. Learn more [on GitHub](https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### kCode and More
|
|
|
|
This old plugin is a remnant of my old PHP + Textmate work.
|
|
If you write a lot of Python scripts, the 'env' and 'enc' snippets will save you a lot of typing:
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
|
|
|
|
The repo is [available on GitHub](https://github.com/kennethreitz/kcode.tmbundle).
|
|
|
|
Other great plugins available via Package Control include HTML Encode, Gist, and Restructured Text.
|
|

|
Happy hacking!
