I've used Sublime for a couple of years now, still evaluating (I will buy it, just not while I'm a student) it and saying "no" to the dialogue every other save or so. Heh.

Anyway, I made a theme that's a mod of Twilight but in my opinion far more readable and pretty.

Give it a try!

Type this: import os. Pressing ctrl+space produced no hint or auto-complete. Does anybody know why ? Another thing I have tried: executing ./sublime_text /mycode/ doesn't import/open that directory within ST, it just opens up blank. I'm pointing these out to ask for solutions, not to nit pick.

Auto complete only looks in the current buffer for possible completions at the moment. I'll look into what's going on with the command line handling under Linux.

Autocomplete is awesome. Two ideas:

* Option for it to come up automatically instead of with a key combo.

* Taking colours from the active colour scheme.

Keep up the good work!

What are the plans for auto complete? Maybe native ctags support? That would make me change to Sublime 100%!!!

Ah! So it's called column select. Oops! I am trying Alt+Left Mouse in Windows XP but it doesn't seem to work. Is it different under Windows?

On Windows and Linux you can use Shift+Right Mouse, or Middle Mouse. Column selection interacts nicely with multiple selections, too: Use Ctrl+Drag (Command+Drag on OSX) to add selections, and Alt+Drag to subtract selections.

Multiple selections are very cool. I think you have done a great job with this editor. A final question: what is the recommended way to move between recently visited files? For instance in Visual Studio there is a file history stack that makes it very easy to visit previous files with Alt + W + n where n represents the distance in the visitation history. I keep doing Alt + W + 2 to alternate back and forth between two files. Is there a way to this in Sublime?

I am thinking about buying it to use under OSX. The XCode editor is not my favourite to put it lightly.

Keep up great work!

Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab cycle forwards/backwards through the stack of recently used files, in the same manner as Alt-Tab (Command+Tab on OS X) cycles through applications.

I am using it on Ubuntu 10.10, looks amazing, is there any way to add syntax highlighting for other languages (Go in my case)

It's generally just a matter of getting your hands on a .tmLanguage file (the same format as TextMate), and putting it somewhere in your packages directory (~/.Sublime Text 2/Packages/ on Linux). The top Go.tmLanguage reported by Google appears to be a work in progress though, I'll see if I can get something sorted for the next version - I'd like to have Go support out of the box.

Not able to use one for Clojure (the one for Go works fine) - could you please check https://github.com/franks42/clojure.tmbundle/blob/d0b6baa893...

As the author of Sublime Text, I'd just like to say thanks for all the kind comments here, it's heartwarming to see so many positive comments.

Just playing with it it feels great, one pony request: make it easier to just open a folder. When just trying out an editor I don't care to setup projects and whatnot, I just want the codebrowser to be rooted at some project dir on my system.
