# Sublime Text 3 Heaven
*January 2017*
I decided to revisit my editor configuration the other night, and experimented with every possible editor I could think of / imagine. I heavily configured vim (neovim), PyCharm, Eclipse, Emacs (Spacemacs), VSCode, Atom, Textual, and more. I knew I was going to stay put with my choice of Sublime Text 3 (which I have been using for 5\+ years), but it's nice to have validation.
So, I decided to rebuild that configuration from scratch as well. I ended up with a very happy setup that I wanted to share with you. Here's [a screencast](http://media.kennethreitz.com.s3.amazonaws.com/sublime-screencast.mov) of myself writing a little bit of code and pushing it to GitHub with this setup. 
## **Sublime UI Theme**: Material

### Sublime Text Extensions:
* **Anaconda** — fantastic Python "IDE" support for Sublime Text. Just works, does everything you'd want it to do, including code completion and PEP8 checking.
* **Color Highlighter** — highlights colors present in code as the value provided (great for css).
* **Emmet** —fantastic HTML shortcut utility.
* **Package Control** — (obviously)
* **SideBarEnhancements** —enhances the sidebar context menu options. Easily create new files and folders, etc.
* **Themr** — easily switch between themes.
###
### Version Control:
* **GitGutter** — display git diff information in the gutter of Sublime Text — extremely useful! Keeps track of added/removed lines.
* **GitSavvy** — very useful tool for committing/pushing with Git right from Sublime!
* **GitStatusBar** — shows git repo status in the bottom bar of Sublime Text.
### Syntax Packages:
* **Tomorrow Night Italics Color Scheme** — italics for code comments, for [Operator Mono](/essays/2016-01-test_driving_a_200_coding_font_operator_mono).
* **fish\-shell** — syntax highlighting for fish scripts.
* **Jinja2** — syntax hilighting and snippets for jinjia2 templates**.**
* **RestructuredText Improved** —syntax highlighting for RST files.
* **requirementstxt** — syntax highlighting for requirements.txt files.
* **TOML** — syntax highlighting for TOML.
* **VimL** — syntax highlighting for VimL.
### Fun Toys:
* **ASCII Decorator** — right click on text, and turn it into ASCII art.
* **Glue** — terminal instance within Sublime.
* **GitAutoCommit** — a nifty little plugin that lets you set certian repos to automatically commit on save (useful for notes, etc).
* **SublimeXiki** — get the power of Xiki (shown in the screencast above, at the end) in Sublime!
