Sublime Text makes me feel silly for loving a text editor so much. Now if only it would do text completion across multiple files...

Is there a CTags plugin you can use?

Now that I've gotten used to first class refactoring support in the Jetbrains products any other editor just seems archaic. IntelliJ has all the features mentioned in this article and intelligent code restructuring.

Possibly, but that's a lot fancier and less "just works" than I'm interested in. I just want the same extremely simple "what words have I seen before" autocompletion that you get on a file-by-file basis, but as if I had every open file concatenated into one.

My favourite feature is definently multiple cursors; Ctrl+D selects the next occurance of your highlighted word, Alt+F3 selects all occurances.

Do you know if there's a way to skip the current or next match when doing this?

That's interesting. Can you edit all selected occurrences at once? I don't think there's an immediate analogue in Vim.

yep. I was amazed to find that Copy/Paste even works...

For whatever it’s worth, all of these are copied directly from TextMate. :-)

Some of 'em are quite different. For instance, Textmate uses various modifiers on the 'u' key for capitalization.

These shortcuts work in Sublime too, with Vintage mode enabled.

For swapping lines I recommend following shortcuts:

    " Move a line of text using ALT+[jk] or Comamnd+[jk] on mac
    nmap  mz:m+`z
    nmap  mz:m-2`z
    vmap  :m'>+`mzgv`yo`z
    vmap  :m'`>my` 
      nmap  
      vmap  
      vmap  
    endif
