My main objective with Sublime is to master the keyboard shortcuts. Stuff like (on the PC) Ctrl+D to select the current word, and repeat for next occurrences. This starts up a multiple-selection that you can just type and all selected occurrences are replaced. I forked a GitHub Gist from others and tweaked it a bit, for reference to useful shortcuts: https://gist.github.com/1736542

Wow, very useful, thanks. There's a useful comment to the gist I had no idea about: Ctrl/Cmd X,C, and V all operate on the whole line if nothing is selected. That's a clever way for it to work.

The new icon is better, but I still prefer this third party icon: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/sublime-tex...

There are a bunch of 3rd party icons that are all better than the new icon. I aggregated them last month:

My cycle:

1. Use Sublime Text for a few weeks. 2. Get annoyed at a tiny issue. Ugly icon, window UI, font rendering, etc. 3. Consider switching to TextMate 4. New version of Sublime Text fixes one/all of my issues. 5. Use Sublime Text.

I'll never learn. Incredibly impressed with the dev cycle and how far it has come in a matter of months. At this point, Coda 2 might not even be enough to pull me away.

I was excited to read that Iconfactory did the latest icon, but quite frankly, I think the new icon is worse.

My favorite replacement is still this beauty by Daniel Matarazo: https://github.com/dmatarazzo/Sublime-Text-2-Icon

I feel the same way about Sublime Text 2 as I do with Reaper (http://reaper.fm).

Both of these applications represent astounding value for money - Reaper is a Digital Audio Workstation, Sublime, a text editor. Both of these applications offer features found in much larger, far more expensive packages - but still, the author keeps them affordable (its an easy, easy buy when the price is right) and competitive. We get updates for free, and each update cycle I find myself almost squealing like a kid getting nintendo for Christmas, jumping in right away to find out whats new.

This is commercial software, done right. A great price, great features, and superlative relationship with the users. Well done Jon, and thank you for todays update excitement!

Have any TextMate users out there tried Sublime? I'd love to hear a comparison.

Much better than TextMate. Faster, actually actively developed. Just cmd-t and cmd-p makes it worth the switch.

I bought Sublime as soon as I accidentally hit cmd-R and realized what it was showing me. ;)

I've been using it more and more, but still use Coda for larger projects just so I can use the code navigator to get my head around the larger code base. I haven't seen anything like that for sublime yet...

I've used Coda in the past, but I've found that Sublimes cmd-R and cmd-T/-P are all I need to be able to navigate around like a ninja.

On Windows you can't do much better, all the paid text editors are crap (Textpad anyone?), and Notepad++'s plugin system falls short of Sublime's (hot installation vs. restarting).

As usual another fantastic build.
