Windows and Linux have a much larger variety in hardware and drivers and much lower prevalence of high-dpi monitors. So we felt that for now it would be better to leave it disabled by default. This may change in the future.
Is there a DPI threshold that would benefit most from GPU support?
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…
> (…) Sublime Text has — in my experience — only gotten faster. I love software that does this: Software that unbloats over time. This should be the goal of all software. The longer it’s around, the more elegant it should become. Smooth over like a river stone. I have full trust in the engineering of Sublime Text because I’ve used it for over a decade, but also because it always feels like a fast, focused tool (even though it’s actually very complicated) and has only become faster the longer I’ve used it.
The whole essay is a nice read.
EDIT: Something else I wanted to add: I’ve tried other programs (file managers, for instance) that attempt to emulate Sublime Text both in interface (keyboard-driven, command palette, etc.) and speed, but they mostly manage to hit the former while blowing the latter. Fast software is hard!

I don’t use sublime in my day to day, but always keep it on hand because it’s the only IDE that quickly opens for viewing very large csv or similar files without a hitch. PyCharm, VSCode, Aton all barf under these conditions.
Just for the speed of large file, on macOS, I find the BBEdit is great too. The basic functions of BBEdit can be used for free even.

Is there a way to go back to the trapezoid-style tab UI instead of the rounded new Chrome tab UI? I didn't see it in any of the preinstalled themes but maybe there's a flag somewhere.
Use the `"file_tab_style"` setting. Do note that the older tab styles are missing some features, like highlighting the focused tab.
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.
Do you have any plans to add first class support for SSH based or docker based remote development workflows? The current Rsubl implementation kinda works. But is a bit hacky for reliable everyday work.
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…
It is coming with LSP support so that will work as well.

We've certainly talked about it, but there aren't any concrete plans yet.
If you decide to add it, please make it flexible enough to configure all options OpenSSH provides.

Thanks for this, I absolutely like it for the most parts. My only complain with Sublime is that if I have 100s of unnamed tabs opened, it gets very difficult to find a particular tab. I wish there was somewhat better tab organisation possible. Maybe there are some plug-ins, I did check last time when I was frustrated with it. Does anyone else face this issue or have I been using it wrong?
Basically the exact opposite of my browser habits, where I easily have 100 tabs open at any time, lol.

Another long-time UltraEdit user here. I love it in general, but in particular there's one feature that I can't do without: column mode. I don't understand why other editors haven't copied it (at least to my knowledge. If you know any other that has it, I'd like to know). For those of us that often work with CSV-like formats, it's a real time saver. It's also better behaved for huge files than any other editor I've t…
What is column mode?
