As a die-hard Vim'er I like this more every time I look at it. What I'm still missing in vintage-mode is search/replace (mostly ':s' and ':%s') and block visual mode (^V in vim). The latter habit I could probably break, but the search/replace stuff gets me all the time. Is there perhaps a plugin/workaround already to get Vim-style search/replace or do I have to hold out for another version?

Maybe take a look at VintageEx: https://github.com/SublimeText/VintageEx I'm not sure if search/replace is included but if not you could open an issue and maybe someone adds it. :)

Thanks man, that does indeed add working search/replace!

Giving Sublime a whirl now. If nothing else it's going to be an interesting discovery of which Vim features I really use in my daily workflow.

Edit: Sadly bumped right into the next issue. It seems in addition to the lack of Vim's visual-block-mode the native multi-select (Ctrl-Shift-L) doesn't work in vintage either. No multi-line editing at all is a bit of a showstopper.

Anyway, there's always a next version, I'm not giving up hope. :)

Can I just say I love the pricing model. It's paid software, with an unenforced 'trial period'. Relying on coders who use a text editor all day and appreciate good software and want to compensate someone for their good software. +1 humans.

I agree. It would be great to see some revenue numbers, if it's really successful (which I think it is), it would be a nice model for other developers or software companies.

Based on the great reviews of ST2, I switched from vim to ST2 (with vintage mode) a few months ago. It seems good... but it hasn't lived up to the reviews for me. I'm guessing I'm missing some of the functionality. Is there a tutorial anywhere to show me what I'm missing? How have you learned about ST2 features (rather than just repeating your old editing habits in a new program)?

Yeah, I enjoy ST2 as well, but I know I'm missing out on a great deal of functionality. I'd love if somebody could point me to a good tutorial.

Edit: This was posted above... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4162210. Somebody is apparently writing an ebook and the 1st chapter is available.

An absolutely joyful piece of software. I love it so much, I bought it right away. Plus, where else can you experience such a pleasant multiplatform situation? Great Job!

I started writing the same thing, and thought I'd just add onto this instead. Tried using Vim because I like the look of how flexible it is to tile windows, but I just cannot move away from Sublime's file search. I don't even click tabs that I have open any more, I just hit Apple + p and start typing say g-l-o for global.css and I know its there, hit enter and voila. Like you say, multi-platform too, so I get to use…

Command-T gives you similar functionality in Vim. It's great.

CtrlP is newer and is arguably much better than Command-T

I love you edit: if anyone is curious, Preferences > Key Bindings > Default [edit: should use User as noted below] ctrl+f paste, and change { "keys": ["super+v"], "command": "paste" }, { "keys": ["super+shift+v"], "command": "paste_and_indent" }, to { "keys": ["super+shift+v"], "command": "paste" }, { "keys": ["super+v"], "command": "paste_and_indent" },

Even better, put that in Preferences, Key Bindings, User. Using the user file has two advantages: First, you avoid mishaps when some future version makes changes to the default bindings file. Second, you can quickly check what are your non-default settings.

Duly noted. Thanks!

As an Intellij user (and Emacs way before that) I'm trying to give this a chance, but I see no way to click-navigate through source code. Am I missing something? I tried installing SublimeCodeIntel, and that lets me (occasionally) navigate to symbols in the current file. But I don't seem to be able to click through to symbols defined in other files/classes. Am I missing something fundamental, or is this strictly the…

Found a ctags module.
