Hello HN, I'm one of the developers at Sublime HQ. We're all very excited about this release. If you have any questions you'd like to ask I'll do my best to answer them.

a bit of a weird one... is there anyway I use my license for version 4 on version 2? my day job has a fixed list of binaries that are permitted to run (by digest)... 2 is on the list, and 4 isn't (quite happily using 4 now at home!)

Newer licenses don't work on ST2 for technical reasons, but I'm sure we can work something out if you contact our sales support (bottom of this page: https://www.sublimehq.com/sales_faq)

Anyone know of a good vi plugin for sublime ? The last time I tried, all the plugins were significantly laggy and while nvim was functionally complete, it had this annoying behavior of switching out of insert mode if sublime lost focus. Apparently that's by design too. Sublime itself was super snappy though. unfortunately a good vi/vim mode is a requirement for me.

NeoVintageous is the one I landed on after trying...

- vintage mode

- sublimesix

- actualvim

Thank your for bringing into the world this beautiful tool. I paid for ST2, ST3 and SM and it brought a lot of joy into my work. I'm more into VSCode now (ST python editing experience has been lagging behind), but I keep ST close for out of project editing. I hope one day you will release your UI toolkit. Since it's crossplateform, fast, and plug into Python, it could be a wonderful alternative to PyQT, wxWidget and…

Thanks for the kind words :)

> I hope one day you will release your UI toolkit. Since it's crossplateform, fast, and plug into Python, it could be a wonderful alternative to PyQT, wxWidget and the like, and we really need something in the Python world.

Note our UI toolkit is really adjacent to python - there's no integration there at all. See here for my answer in relation to releasing/open sourcing our UI toolkit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27230608.

Congrats on the release! Are there any plans for some kind of combo deal now that Sublime Text and Sublime Merge licenses are aligned?

There already is :)

I don't want to take any thunder away from Sublime but VSCode basically opens instantly on M1.

I mean... I would hope pretty much anything opens ~instantly on the most absolute cutting edge custom-designed SoC from one of the richest companies in the world. hahah ;)

you would hope, yes you would hope.

Settled into neovim for startup speed. My VSCode editor has vim keys too, so ... ohm! :) edit: My only gripe with VSCode currently is that it seems too eager to correct my typing.

I actually battle vscode every freakin day over autocomplete. It's really bad if you're writing php and happen to have a // phpcs somewhere, it'll convert <?php to <?phpcs which makes no damn sense.

For my use case, autocomplete of any kind is useless, so I turn it all off. When "in the zone" anything that distracts from getting ideas out of my head as quickly as possible is annoying. Also, zen-mode, FTW.

After having sublime have the same theme for years, changing the theme in v4 is very jarring. Is it possible to go back to the same theme that comes OOTB in v3?

Hello HN, I'm one of the developers at Sublime HQ. We're all very excited about this release. If you have any questions you'd like to ask I'll do my best to answer them.

I am wondering if it's possible for Python plugin to add custom UI elements? For example, if I am using Julia/R I want side panel that shows all my current variables in memory. Is Sublime plugin system capable of adding UI components such as variable/plot viewer and add custom interactions to those UI panels(i.e. zoom/rotation for plots)?

Mind sharing how you do this in R? Thanks!

I'd love to use a lighter (in terms of resources) editor like this, but after using IDEA (not for java - but it's the single Jetbrains tool that supports all other language packs) the editor in this feels like comparing a car to a bicycle. Sure, the bicycle starts off quicker, and you feel so much quicker. But that's where the benefits end, IMO. I just opened up a client project with this (that project is a mixture o…

+1. Sublime is a fantastic lightweight text editor, but the version that I've used simply isn't an IDE. Excited to see what new features are in this one, though!

And on a Mac this is where I fail to see the market for it, particularly at $100.

If you just want something lightweight to open text files but still have some basic syntax highlighting, there are heaps of choices that are better Mac apps. I'd suggest any/all of these three (all of which happen to be OSS but that's not why I recommend them - I didn't actually realise until now that they all are)
