Are there any plans to open source the GUI system? It could be a hugely beneficial for a set of cross platform apps. Thanks a lot for creating this piece of software art. I’m a user since the v1 and no matter what the editor du jour is, I always fallback to ST and Vim.

This question has been asked a lot, so thankfully I've got an easy answer: You don't actually want to build on top of our UI toolkit. We make breaking changes all the time, there's very little documentation and no release cycle at all. This isn't a problem for us as we have in-house knowledge and can fix any breakages trivially, but you don't want every open source project to have to maintain it's own fork of a UI to…

You could extent your UI toolkit and profit from it. make it open source and make it free for open source projects and with fee for commercial projects. It's very beautiful and sleek UI and the market of UI are lacking in this area. a lot of people demand this UI toolkit and asking you to release it is a prove that it will be a successful product.

Sublime is blazingly fast for all its features. I hope there will be similar UI for NeoVim in the near future (no Electron please). There is OniVim, but it dropped the NeoVim as an engine, which is quite sad.

You might want to check out Neovide. https://github.com/Kethku/neovide

Thanks, this looks amazing!

I've upgraded and it was super smooth. Thanks for that! One question remains, how can one disable the title bar on gnome to preserve space?

You can disable client-side window decorations using the setting `"gtk_client_side_window_decorations": false`.

You can make modified tabs more visible with the "highlight_modified_tabs" setting.

This doesn't solve the issue. To make things clearer, here's how you replicate it: * Open file1.txt in sublime. This shows up as "file1.txt" in Sublime. * In the terminal: mv file1.txt file1a.txt * Back in Sublime it will show "file1.txt •" as if it's modified and unsaved. Saving that file will now recreate that file, and you'll end up duplicating the file and editing the wrong file. Instead, what should happen is wh…

Thanks for clearing that up. I've added an issue to our public issue tracker for this: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/4225

Thanks for introducing the multi select feature in text editing. There may have been other editors before which had but Sublime was where I first encountered this and where it felt natural. It has saved me countless keystrokes! I use VS Code now but it has started getting slower and it may be time to go back to sublime!

I use sublime 3 pretty frequently, and am aware of this feature, but haven't experienced a moment where this was useful, or at least, not more useful than just running find-replace (which is fantastic on sublime with its pattern matching and speed and what not btw). How do you use this effectively?

I will try:

1. Select something at one line

2. Select other occurances of this something using CTRL + d

3. Move the cursors with the arrow keys, by using ALT + Arrow to jump to word boundaries HOME to jump to the beginning of the line for Ll lines that had a cursor on them, END to jump to the end, draw selections by holding SHIFT while doing any of that.

The thing is, when you got this it can be much faster than crafting up a regex in Search/Replace even if you are good with regexes.

Perfect that was exactly what I missed. Thanks!

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?

Someone should make sourceavailable.com - A service that automatically pulls my private repos from GitHub and makes it available as open source to other programmers. A read only version of GitHub, without the isssue/PR overhead. Code should be easy to read/download on https://sourceavailable.com/username/repo

Someone bought the domain after I wrote this comment. Hope they’re working on this idea :)

But what I lick of UE is that you can do everything with your keyboard, no need to use the mouse.

The same is true of the "column edit" functionality in VS Code. I don't think there's anything that requires the mouse, especially since from the keyboard you can invoke the command window to run any function.

But VS Code is what, 3 or 5 years old? When I was searching for a text editor, this was 20~25 years ago!

Are there any chances for better Vim mode?
