Sublime text

Some features ^[3] :

• Quick Navigation (Goto Anything)
• Command Palette
• Python Plugin API
• Simultaneous Editing (Split Editing)
• High customizability (Customize Anything)

Language support

Sublime Text supports a large number of programming languages ^[4] and has syntax highlighting for C , C ++ , C # , CSS , D , Dylan , Erlang , HTML , Groovy , Haskell , Java , JavaScript , LaTeX , Lisp , Lua , Markdown , MATLAB , OCaml , Perl , PHP , Python , R , Ruby , SQL , TCL, and XML .

In addition to the default programming languages, users can download plugins to support other languages.

Package manager

Sublime Text can be equipped with a package manager that allows the user to find, install, update and remove packages without restarting the program. The manager keeps the installed packages up to date by downloading new versions from the repositories. In addition, it provides commands for activating and deactivating installed packages.

Some features of the program ^[5] :

Interface

The editor contains various visual themes, with the ability to download additional ones.

Users see their entire code on the right side of the screen in the form of a mini-map, when you click on which you can navigate.

There are several screen modes. One of them includes from 1 to 4 panels, with which you can display up to four files at a time. The full (free modes) mode shows only one file without any additional menus around it ^[4] .

Highlight Columns and Multiple Edits

Selecting entire columns or arranging several pointers in the text, which makes instant editing possible. Pointers behave as if each of them is one in the text. Commands such as moving to a character, moving to a line, selecting text, moving to a word or its parts ( CamelCase , separated by a hyphen or underscore), moving to the beginning / end of a line, etc., affect all pointers independently and immediately, allowing you to edit complex text quickly, without the use of macros or regular expressions .

Auto completion

When a user types code, Sublime Text, depending on the language used, will offer various options to complete the recording. The editor also automatically terminates user-created variables.

Syntax highlighting and high contrast

The dark background of Sublime Text is designed to increase the contrast of the text. The main elements of the syntax are highlighted in different colors, which are better combined with a dark background than with a light one.

Build system support

Sublime Text allows the user to compile programs and run them without having to switch to the command line. The user can also configure his build system and enable automatic build of the program each time the code is saved.

Blanks (snippets)

Saving fragments of frequently used code, keywords to run them.

File Navigation

A navigation tool that allows users to navigate between files, as well as inside them, using fuzzy search.

Other features

• Additionally, an autosave function has been implemented that helps users not to lose the work done.
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts and a navigation tool let you assign your own keyboard shortcuts to menus and toolbars (only for the first version, Command Palette in the second and third).
• The ability to search as you type is used to search in a document.
• The syntax check function works in the same way, checking the correctness right at the time of input.
• There is the possibility of automation with the help of macros and a replay of recent actions.
• Editing commands, including indentation, reformatting paragraphs, and line wrapping.
