Very nice! I love seeing the download stats graph showing the last couple months of downloads with OS stats and embedded github README instructions. (ex: https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/EasyMotion (disclaimer: my plugin))

Some feedback on the plugin some of the commands won't work on none US keyboards. The scandinavia keyboard uses shift + : to make ; and that kinda fucks it up when your shortcuts are: cmd-; cmd-shift-; I know you can remap in your plugin. Which is great. But this is just a small not to let you (and hopefully other plugin developers) know that this is an issue they should be aware of.

Thanks for the feedback danjessen. I'm struggling a little bit with fully internationalized shortcuts though. I don't have a great understanding about what non-chorded keys the keyboards of the world have available and it feels like just about any key combination won't be natively available for everyone. Hopefully the ability to remap via the config is easy and clear enough that it's not too much trouble.

A feedback on that GIF: It's way to fast to understand what's going on. Even after looking at it for several cycles I don't get it. I suggest you slow down the playback :)

You press the shortcut for it, type the character you want to jump to, it highlights every instance of that character and shows you a unique shortcut key for each one, you then press that key to jump to your desired character. I agree though, that gif is far too fast.

I agree with both of you that the playback is too fast. I tried to get it slower a number of times, but the compression phase seems to take out some of the pauses...

I'll take another look to see if there's anything that I can do with the gif creation process I have.

If anyone has suggestions for gif recorders that give you control at this level, I'd love to know about it.

A few things: If you can't secure it by downloading over SSL, couldn't you add a hash verification to the installation steps? Having homepage & issues listed as 'github.com' for most repos isn't very helpful-- maybe show more of the URL? Thanks for all your hard work, Package Control is a joy to use!

That is an interesting idea about the hash verification of the download, I may spend some time playing around with that. I could probably even do a combination of hash and size verification to make a hash collision harder.

The reason the downloads are truncated to domain is because the URLs tend to be far too long to display in the UI. If you mouse over the domain, you'll see a title attribute with the full URL. This is the same for many elements on the site. Icons, abbreviations and numbers with suffixes all have a title attribute to describe the item in more detail.

But still no Package Control for ST3... Seems like I'll never make the switch.

> But still no Package Control for ST3... Seems like I'll never make the switch https://sublime.wbond.net/installation ST3 is the default visible tab for the installation instructions. Many of us have been using ST3 with package control just fine for a while. I really only use it for GoSublime, and it works perfectly on ST3.

oh he released it then! I've been watching it pretty closely and you had to go through git and more before to set it up (which I didn't manage to do).

If you use any decent known hashing algorithm, the probability of collision is astronomically small.

I switched methods and used GIFBrewery and was able to generate a better gif (I think). I'd be interested to hear if this one is easier to understand. Thanks!

The stats page says ~1.8 million users, does this mean the sublime text creator made maybe $30-$40 million in sales?

Sublime Text is nagware (it has "Unregistered" in the titlebar, and reminds you it's unregistered sometimes when you save)-- I'd estimate the vast majority (95%?) of its users never pay.

I assumed it to work like that. I use Lokaltog's EasyMotion for Vim [1]. He also features a GIF that explains it which, on the other hand, is almost too slow.

I used GIFBrewery a couple times before and it works great [1] [2] [3].

It is easier to understand now, but I think you should stay on the last part a bit longer before looping it to make it clear that the animation finished.
