Can someone explain the difference between command-p and command-t?

On OS X, they appear to do the same thing. On Windows, ctrl-t doesn't seem to do anything. I don't have Sublime set up on Linux so I can test there. I suspect the author has an older configuration since he's been using it for almost 2 years, and that the keybinding probably changed since then to cmd-p.

IIRC, ⌘P was Sublime's original mapping, and then ⌘T was added on Mac because the then-extremely-popular TextMate had a well-known ⌘T function that was similar.

As a python programmer, these were the first two settings I configured after installing Sublime Text.

    "tab_size": 2,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
You can either set them as Preferences > Settings - Default or Settings - Syntax specific

Earlier quoted context omitted.

An even better one IMO is @, same thing as with # but it uses symbols.

You can get that via Ctrl-R (or Cmd, if on a Mac). Ctrl-; brings up fuzzy matching for words in the file.

Cmd-R is just for jumping to symbols in the current file, Cmd-T+@ to jump to a symbol on any given file.

Does sublime text 2 work well with CL or Haskell?

I use it to write Haskell. The syntax highlighting screws up the first line of multiline record declarations. Out of the box, it can't run a Hoogle search or launch GHCI like TextMate did. It's definitely not a fully-featured Haskell IDE, but it's a usable basic editor. Depending on what you're used to, it may or not be adequate. I switched because I liked the default color theme better (... I mean... because TextMate was being abandoned).

The biggest win I've had from configuring Sublime Text is in setting up build systems. Specifically, configuring F4/shift-F4 (skip to next/previous error). The build system integration is rudimentary (and I hope that's a focus for Sublime Text 3) but "skip to next error" is all you really need to be productive.

My first piece of advice is to set up a command line alias for Sublime... Sublime ships w/ a command-line executable: /usr/bin/subl

This hasn't been working for me for some reason on OSX, the posted alternative however did work so I'm quite excited!

bad for Markdown, as it will delete spaces that are needed for newline, I believe.
