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?

The default theme hasn't changed from "Default" in ST4, though there have been some changes to it. The default color scheme however has changed from Monokai to Mariana. You can easily change it back using `Preferences > Select Color Scheme…`. You can also get back the old tabs - though they do have a reduced feature set - using the setting "file_tab_style".

Ah awesome! Yeah, thanks, that's perfect. Have been a license holder of SL since 2013, so happy to renew :-)

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.

Thank you for your great work. For HTML / JavaScript, Sublime is simply amazing and a joy for me to use.

For the last point, you can double click on a line in the search result page and it will open the file for you. I have to admit I don't particularly enjoy this search UI either, it's rather unintuitive, plus somewhat annoying as well since when you do a new search, if you don't remember to close the search result page the new search results will be appended to the existing page, which isn't what I want most of the ti…

Just deselect the "Use Buffer" button in the UI where you type the search, and results will then be shown in a more traditional panel at the bottom of the window.

I mean, the results do appear at the bottom of the search pane.

I wouldn't call dumping a stream of matches with 2+2 context lines into a pane like that 'traditional' in terms of search results.

If I wanted that kind of result, I'd use a command line.

The UI of ST is fantastic and like most people here I love it. However, opening big files doesn't work too well, it seems the program wants to load the whole file in memory. Any change on that front?

ST4 has a number of performance improvements in relation to large files, but we don't plan on not loading the whole file into memory as this is a core assumption in the entire UI stack.

Could you configure a user setting for max file size? I have clicked very large files by accident plenty of times and it makes ST hang.

I would love to use ST on FreeBSD and Solaris natively, i know it's a niche and probably not worth the time, but still here i said it.

BTW: Thanks for a great Editor.

I hope they have (or have plans to) updated the docs for their plugin API. I've made some bucks building plugins for ST3 and the docs are... scarce. It's a shame, because I prefer using Python for building plugins than JS or TS as in VSCode, but it was a PITA to find anything.

I just wish it was a little cheaper. Every time I think about buying a license I realize it’s like 30-40 USD more than I expect and I chicken out

I agree with this very much. Both Sublime Text and Sublime Merge are quite cost prohibitive, particularly so for individual users. I've mentioned this here and elsewhere before and often others will attempt to deflect this with getting an employer to cover it or that it isn't much for a developer, but that only holds true for a smaller subset than they realize. One can buy a copy of Windows 10, an entire operating sy…

Тhere is a story about a Jewish tailor whom it took 1 month to sew the pants. So the customers tells him Look it took god 7 days to build the world and you were making pants for a month... And the tailor answers Yes, but look at this world and now look at these pants... Same here.

I really wish that Sublime would add an integrated terminal panel. None of the packages I’ve tried that do add a terminal view, work the way the way I want them to. It’s really the one feature that’s holding me back from even trying to switch away from VS Code.
