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.

Hi! I'm struggling with the same problems (Debugging huge ASM.js files). The best modern, non-vim editor to handle such files I've found is Cuda Text: http://uvviewsoft.com/cudatext/ Absolutely top tier lightweight code editor for special tasks.
UltraEdit can open huge files (multiple tens of GB) in seconds. worth a look if you do this a lot.
UltraEdit is very sluggish - to the moment it's not usable to work with.
I did a very subjective comparison between few editors in terms of speed in working with such file (flow is: open, find, manually edit, save). And in my eyes here is the result: 1. Cuda Text 2. Sublime 4 3. VS Code 6. UltraEdit
Please note: I only tested the workflow that I work on daily basis. I can see that UltraEdit can do much more that Cuda Text, and in different test cases probably it will be a much better choice. But not for me.

I just wish it was a little cheaper. Every time I think about buying a license I realize it’s like 30-40 USD more than I expect and I chicken out
Any chance you can get your employer (if you have one) to buy you a license? Some employers will help out their staff by buying licenses for IDEs, or textbooks or stuff like that.
> Business licenses are sold on an annual tiered subscription basis, at $65/seat/year for the first 10 seats, $60/seat/year for seats 11-25, $55/seat/year for seats 26-50, and $50/seat/year for any further seats.

I agree with this very much. Both Sublime Text and Sublime Merge are quite cost prohibitive, particularly so for individual users. I've mentioned this here and elsewhere before and often others will attempt to deflect this with getting an employer to cover it or that it isn't much for a developer, but that only holds true for a smaller subset than they realize. One can buy a copy of Windows 10, an entire operating sy…

#616Anyone know of a good vi plugin for sublime ? The last time I tried, all the plugins were significantly laggy and while nvim was functionally complete, it had this annoying behavior of switching out of insert mode if sublime lost focus. Apparently that's by design too. Sublime itself was super snappy though. unfortunately a good vi/vim mode is a requirement for me.
NeoVintageous is the one I landed on after trying... - vintage mode - sublimesix - actualvim
Re: Sublime Text 4
#617I am huge sublime text fan, and have updated my license, one thing that I would like to see is an official and better vim emulation extension, I know there is vintage package but it is far from being useful, and then there are other vim emulation packages that are not making proper use of sublime powers, so I would like to see a better and newer vintage package

Hopefully soon, these will get added to the official ports repo and you can find them there:

Hi there, Thanks for this release! I use ST every day and I love it: the speed, the efficiency, everything. The one thing I miss, though, is manipulating files from the left panel (moving files especially). I know there is a plug-in doing that (Side Bar) but it lacks drag-and-drop support. Any plan to have it natively in the future?
It's been on our radar but hasn't been a high priority so far. You can currently use rename to move a file across directories using `../` or similar.

#620I used it before, it's very nice. Just wish they'd do a FreeBSD version, then I'd probably still use it.
