Windows users, change all 'Alt' to 'Ctrl' in this article and you guys should be alright. [Edit]Didn't realize the author was around. Author, 'Alt' is the wrong key for Windows. You should probably change them to 'Ctrl' instead

Further to point F: if you hold down control, you move by word segment - this is camel-case (and underscore) aware. So, if I am at the front of the word "cakeParty", I can move to between 'e' and 'P' by holding control and pressing the right arrow key.

(This is in ST2 for Mac OS X - I'm sure there's an equivalent feature in ST2 for other systems.)

To quickly get multiple cursors on many lines at once, you can also select what you need and hit Cmd + Shift + L

I added your tip to the list, thanks!

Something else you might not know -- multiple selection via command clicking (also implemented in Excel, for example) was in the original (1985ish) Apple Humn Interface Guidelines.

Also a must-have: Sublime Package Control

Useful for installing things like themes, syntax awareness, code linters, etc...

The shortcut to quickly open Files is Ctrl + P (or Cmd + P on Mac) as opposed to Ctrl + T mentioned in the article.

I am pretty sure that "Quick file opening" is CTRL+P on Windows. Since CTRL+T opens a new tab for me..
