Website - https://www.sublimetext.com/

System (described here): Windows 10

Documentation

link - http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/index.html

Installation

Win

I prefer using Win 10. So, install on Win 10 & then connect WSL by creating shortcut to the ubuntu repo "/usr/local/bin/subl"

Follow the steps:

Install from here
make the shortcut link on ubuntu using sudo ln -s "/mnt/f/Softwares/Sublime Text 3/subl.exe" /usr/local/bin/subl
use subl on bash-cmd

Mac

Install from here
Use subl from terminal by adding the bin folder to the PATH environment variable a. echo 'export PATH="/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zprofile b. Use subl <filename> on terminal & it will open in the editor.

Linux

Follow the commands below: Source

# Download and install GPG Key
$ wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

# Enable Sublime Text repository
$ echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list

# Install Sublime Text 4 on Ubuntu 20.04
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install sublime-text

And then open ST4 from the "Applications" at start menu.

Uninstallation

Win

All the extra packages are installed in "click Browse Packages".
So, during uninstall, make a copy of the Sublime Text3 in other drives (E/ F/ G). Location - "C:\Users\abhijit\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3".
After re-install, copy the folder into the location of the 'Browse Packages'

Context Menu

NOTE: DON'T Forget to tick the option.

If missed, follow this workaround below:

Create a .bat file with ST3.
Copy and Paste this code:

@echo off
SET st3Path=C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe
 
rem add it for all file types
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% \"%%1\"" /f
 
rem add it for folders
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% \"%%1\"" /f
pause

Now, "Run as Administrator"
DONE!

Key Bindings

[
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+t"], "command": "new_file" },
	{ "keys": ["alt+m"], "command": "markdown_preview", "args": {"target": "browser", "parser":"markdown"} },

Snippet

Anytime, a custom snippet might be needed in order to automate a lot of code.

Follow these steps:

Open a new snippet - Tools >> Developer >> New Snippet
For meaning of each tag, refer video, article, examples.
I created my own version. E.g.

<snippet>
	<description>eosc - CONTRACT</description>
	<content><![CDATA[
CONTRACT ${1:/*class_name*/} : public eosio::contract {
public:
	using contract::contract;
	${1}( name self ) : contract(self) {}

private:

};
]]></content>
	<!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
	<tabTrigger>eosc</tabTrigger>
	<!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
	<scope>source.c++</scope>
</snippet>

This is how, one can create any snippet as per the need.

Build System

Create your custom build file to compile any type of program files.

Follow these steps:

Tools >> Build System >> New Build System
ctrl + s to save the file in "../Packages/User/" location with a name (to be seen in Build System list).
Now, it is visible in Tools >> Build System location.

NOTE: Remember, for any windows based build, the command has to be installed in Win environment. And the same is applied in case of Ubuntu & OSX machine.

Cases:
- windows:
  An object of options to use when the build system is being executed on a Windows machine. Example: { "cmd": ["my_command.exe", "/D", "$file"] }
- osx:
  An object of options to use when the build system is being executed on a Mac machine. Example: { "cmd": ["/Applications/MyProgram.app/Contents/MacOS/my_command", "-d", "$file"] }
- linux:
  An object of options to use when the build system is being executed on a Linux machine. Example: { "cmd": ["bash", "-c", "/usr/local/bin/my_command", "-d", "$file"] }

Example-1:

in c++ for implementing g++ -std=c++14 -o hello.out hello.cpp

 {
  "cmd":["bash", "-c", "g++ -std=c++14 -Wall '${file}' -o '${file_path}/${file_base_name}' && '${file_path}/${file_base_name}'"],
  "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
  "working_dir": "${file_path}",
  "selector": "source.c, source.c++",
  "variants":
  [
 	 {
 		 "name": "Run",
 		 "cmd":["bash", "-c", "g++ -std=c++14 '${file}' -o '${file_path}/${file_base_name}' && '${file_path}/${file_base_name}'"]
 	 }
  ]
 }

Example-2:

For C++: Create a new build system. File - "gcc-cpp.sublime-build"

 {
 	"shell_cmd": "g++ -std=c++17 ${file_path}/${file_name} -o ${file_path}/${file_base_name} && ${file_path}/${file_base_name}.exe"
 }

For C: Create a new build system. File - "gcc-c.sublime-build"

 {
 	"shell_cmd": "gcc -std=c11 ${file_path}/${file_name} -o ${file_path}/${file_base_name} && ${file_path}/${file_base_name}.exe"
 }

save the file (into the directory shown). Remember to give just the name, no extension (it will automatically take).
Create a build system for Javascript: 1. Create a file "Javscript.sublime-build" inside "Packages/Users" folder. 2. Choose Build system as this & build any file.

{
	"cmd": ["node", "$file"],
	"selector": "source.js"
}

Now, choose the build system.

	"id": "side-bar-files-open-with-excel",

	"command": "side_bar_files_open_with",
	"args": {
						"paths": [],
						"application": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office15\\excel.exe",
						"extensions":"xlsx", //any file with extension (starting with xls i.e. xls, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb,.)
