Is there any way to get it to render at over 60Hz? I've got a high refresh rate monitor but Sublime still renders in 60Hz. I've enabled the hardware_acceleration and it shows up in the console but still no dice.

Oh, I was wrong, sorry. It turns out that it does render in 120Hz but the smooth scrolling is somehow still capped at 60Hz. Is there a way to fix that?

#293Hello 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.
Hey there,
subl is absolutely the best when you quickly need to open and edit a huge file. You cannot, however, do that when the file only has 1 line. Do you think it might be possible to get that fixed at some point? Opening a 1 line 1GB file on a modern machine brings subl to a complete halt and regex editing is sheer impossible.

#294Had to run the following command to make "press and hold keys to repeat" work. (for example holding down the e key will create eeeeeeeeeeeeeee, instead of an option menu to choose eêíë) defaults write com.sublimetext.4 ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
If you don't want that anywhere, it can also be disabled OS-wide instead:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

#295This is the future of software even though sublime text isn’t new. People need to understand that the incentive structure surrounding the development and maintenance of software is as much a part of the software as the code is. Open source doesn’t work for the vast number of cases. When Linus dies, the only real example of a successful open source software project will die with him. Making things free doesn’t make yo…
I suppose It's joke. There are countless successful open source projects (libraries , frameworks and languages). Open source have come to stay, besides, nobody forbidden you to put a price if you have a opensource project and you want to give a premium experience, with extra features, maintenance or even a technical support.
Not a joke! There are reasons why this fundamental truth has been obscured for the short amount of time that software has existed on a meaningful scale. One of them is the unique property of software not needing any physical resources to be created or distributed. The other is the cultural circumstances surrounding software historically, where often people were being pioneers with their contributions, contributing to the grand vision of computers and the internet which only very recently has been realized. And the average programmer historically was very intelligent and wealthy. It was a set of circumstances that created the illusion that the shackles of capitalism had been broken. But they haven’t. And as the circumstances change it only becomes more clear that free labor won’t be a successful model for software. And this doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has closely scrutinized the whole picture.
And the whole thing is made worse by the politicization of free software. People respect free software because it is “virtuous.” It’s a very short sighted notion that shares its roots with communism. If pure intentions counted then both might be successful but unfortunately it’s not the case.
To say that Linux was the last free software was obviously hyperbole. But the conclusion I have drawn is correct and you will see this whether you reflect on it now or stick around long enough to see the economics play out.

#296Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't want to take any thunder away from Sublime but VSCode basically opens instantly on M1.
takes my M1 mac about 3s to open
macOS does a notarization check with Apple servers the first time, can take a while. On subsequent runs the certificate is cached, so should be much quicker.

#297I feel bad using VSCode after years of supporting Sublime (by purchasing a license). However the one case where I do use sublime repeatedly? When I need to open an editor QUICKLY. It boots faster than VSCode, and frankly, it finally broke me of my constant habit of VIMming now that I have it on my mac, win and linux boxes. I am eager to try V4, but I'm so deep in VSCode now, I don't know if I can find my way out! I c…
My favourite aspect of sublime is that the "sessions" are so reliable. I often just open it to jot something down, and before I know it I have 15-20 notes on separate pages, I'll consolidate and save them to a file somewhere or delete them if necessary. It's just a super reliable scratchpad and a versatile modern textfile editor.
Pages as in tabs that are not saved to files?

If you don't want that anywhere, it can also be disabled OS-wide instead: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false then, typing for example ë can be accomplished using alt+u e (may vary by keyboard layout).
wow didn't know this... You are a life safer. thanks a lot!

Any plans to help Syntect (https://github.com/trishume/syntect) work with the latest sublime-syntax format (https://github.com/trishume/syntect/issues/271 and https://github.com/trishume/syntect/issues/323)? There is a big overlap in contributors for syntect users and syntect can be used by syntax writers to debug syntaxes so it would be a win-win.
Re: Sublime Text 4
#300It's software like Sublime that sustains my faith in the software industry and why I'm still a developer.
It's beautiful, efficient software that single-handedly proves that desktop software in 2021 doesn't have to be a shit, low quality side show to SaaS "apps" and mobile.
Heaven knows what their code looks like. Perhaps it's best it never goes open source so we can sustain the Opera-esque magic of a <10MB binary that packs so much punch.
