Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can use the built in 'subl' command to launch Sublime Text 2 from the terminal. http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/osx_command_line.html Editing remote files is as simple as an SFTP mount.

That is for OSX, which I refuse to use on an principle of ethical software conduct. Apple is hostile to open software and computers as open platforms. They want to take away the open nature of computers which allowed them to exist in the first place and they use BS patent-lawsuits to hinder competitors willing to provide just that. They are evil and I refuse to support them with a penny or any significant effort or a…

``subl`` also works in both Windows and Linux.

If you're a huge OSS proponent though, then Sublime is quite clearly not for you anyway.

There are a lot more keyboard shortcuts for this editor, makes you much faster if you don't have to touch a mouse. Here's a "cheat sheet": http://i.imgur.com/yGrUAL8.png

It would be great if this cheat sheet existed as a page instead of an image. Unfortunately, I can't Ctrl+F an image.

Anyone have a plugin that prevents ST2 from showing the contents of binary files? For example, clicking on a JPG in the sidebar shows the contents, requiring you to somehow close the window before you can continue.

Not sure on a plugin, but perhaps adding image formats to your file_exclude_patterns could be a workaround?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still need to be able to see them in the sidebar :(
