I came back to ST a few months ago when I experienced weird slowdowns on VSCode.
I would love to see an integrated terminal.
It'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 th…

Never heard of UltraEdit in 10yrs of my career, or came across it when searching for editors and IDEs.
That is what I wonder, UltraEdit is really nice. I have no relation to them by the way, latest version that I own is 26 something. While the latest release is 28 something. Maybe it is because 28 years ago, when it first released, internet was just starting. Sublime is "only" 13 years old, so internet was already very much mainstream. But it is really good. Very fast. I love the column mode. If I search for UltraEdit…
From the website it looks like a Windows-oriented tool. If it weren't for your product I wouldn't have even guessed they had a Mac version. I bet they'd do much better with adoption if they customized their homepage screenshots to the platform viewing the page…
For others curious about Column Mode, here's their link with a nice video: https://www.ultraedit.com/support/tutorials-power-tips/ultra...
Apparently in VS Code you can do similar things: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_column...
1. Hold ⇧⌥ and drag for box select.
2. Press ⇧⌥⌘↓ for "column select down"
3. Run "Toggle column selection mode" and ⇧↓.
TIL. Looks great!
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.
Are there any plans regarding first class support for LSP (or, more generally and perhaps more useful, first class support for extensions providing semantic knowledge about the code)? I know that LSP plugin exists, but, anecdotally, folks are having trouble with it. Which i think is understandable https://lsp.sublimetext.io/features/ says Show Code Actions: UNBOUND, and this is the second most useful thing in LSP (th…
I figured I'd wait until the non beta release, and try again.
The sort of minimal deal breaker level of support for me is being able to jump to definition. The symbols, if I understand correctly, are based on the syntax configuration, and for the common Elixir one, it includes the type definition line, each function head, and the callsites of the function, which makes it nearly useless for symbol navigation.
I figured LSP would help in this regard, but I couldn't make it work. The docs were vague, and I think I had to put some JSON configuration structure in some file, but nothing I tried I guess was the right file or right structure.
Still, I love everything else about Sublime and am excited now for multi-tab-select, so I'll probably give it one more try. Hopefully LSP is better integrated or documented by now.

We've worked hard alongside the developers of the LSP plugin to improve support for it with ST4 and will be continue to do so in the future.
Or are the majority of the user-facing improvements to the LSP plugin still to come, based on the foundational work that just rolled out?

In practice it doesn't work this way. Saying it is "unsupported" does not mean people will respect that boundary, nor will it prevent people from contacting you expecting your time and attention, which is what actually happens. There is significant overhead to open sourcing software.
People won’t respect the boundary if you host the code on github, because it’s just too easy to open issues or pull requests. However, what about just releasing a zip file with the sources and linking it on your downloads page?

I have only used the Windows/Linux versions. By the way, with one license you can use all 3 platforms.
I actually use the Portable Windows version, for when the company I work for won't allow me to install software :)
The new auto-complete is really impressive. I've always been a big fan of using snippets and auto-completing based on open buffers in a project instead of using LSPs. I haven't used ST in a while but decided to install ST4 to try it out. I opened a Flask application that uses SQLAlchemy. I opened a Python file and typed User. and then it showed me a list of fields and methods on my User model without having the User…
How does it compare to YouCompleteMe or TabNine?
