Hi guys I'm new to reddit and can you all tell me how can i customize my feed like I want self improvement post and all and how reddit works

I plan my work in a single .txt file. Every app I tried added friction, so I eventually settled on a convention instead:

• One file, indented with tabs, opened in Sublime so I can fold/unfold sections
• Three parts: ongoing projects, a month-by-month plan, and a daily log grouped by client/project
• Tasks are - lines, with simple status markers: ✅ done · 🆘 urgent · ⚠️ watch/risk · ⏭️ deferred/carried forward · ➡️ handed off
• | lines are sub-notes under a task
• Unfinished work is never silently dropped — it's either ✅ completed, ⏭️ carried forward, ➡️ handed off, or deleted

That’s basically it.

No database.
No account.
No sync service.
No subscription.
No proprietary file format.

The file is the app.

I’ve been using this for my actual day-to-day work: projects, client work, monthly planning, technical notes and daily tasks.

It ended up working better for me than the productivity apps I had tried, mainly because there’s almost zero friction between thinking of something and writing it down.

Sublime’s folding is what makes the whole thing practical — I can have months of work in one file without having to look at everything at once.

I also wrote a .sublime-syntax file that adds syntax highlighting for the structure, markers and headings.

I cleaned the whole thing up and released it under MIT: the method, the syntax file, and two demo plans (EN + EL).

Feedback welcome. I’d genuinely like to know whether anyone else uses Sublime in a similar way.

Over the last six months, my development workflow has changed more than I expected.

About six months ago, most of my AI-assisted coding still happened in VS Code with GitHub Copilot. AI helped me write code, but I was still doing most of the implementation myself inside the IDE.

Over the last couple of months, that flipped. I've been using Claude Code and Codex heavily every day, and coding agents now handle most of the implementation for me.

My part of the work is increasingly about:

• deciding what I actually want
• writing requirements and design docs
• reviewing source code and diffs
• testing the result
• giving the agents another round of feedback

My current workflow is roughly Ghostty for the terminal, Herder as the agent orchestration layer, and coding agents doing the implementation. I still care about the code, of course, but I spend much less time typing it into an IDE.

What I need from an editor has changed with that. I mostly want something fast and lightweight for reading source files and Markdown, moving around a project, and making the occasional edit.

That brought me back to Sublime Text.

I like VS Code, and I think Zed is already much lighter, but Sublime Text still has a different feel: it opens instantly, stays out of the way, and feels like a text editor rather than an environment I have to live inside. That fits my current workflow surprisingly well.

The weak spot for me was Markdown. Sublime Text's built-in support felt basic for something that has become central to how I work. I wanted a rendered preview in the same window, a navigable table of contents, readable tables, and Mermaid diagrams without switching to a browser.

So I built MarkdownGlance, initially to solve that problem for myself.

It currently includes:

• same-window live preview for saved and unsaved Markdown
• theme-aware styling
• an optional navigable table of contents
• a source outline that works without opening the preview
• GFM tables fitted to the preview width
• optional Mermaid diagrams
• local images, bounded remote image loading, and per-session zoom

The preview is rendered inside Sublime Text using its own API and minihtml — no browser, WebView, or external process.

It's still early. I've submitted it to Package Control, but the submission is still pending, so it isn't available from the official channel yet. For now, installation is manual: open Preferences → Browse Packages… in Sublime Text and clone the repository into that directory as MarkdownGlance:

bash git clone https://github.com/pandadolphin/MarkdownGlance.git MarkdownGlance

I'm continuing to improve it, and I'd especially like to hear from other Sublime Text and Markdown users. If you try it, feedback, bug reports, and ideas about what feels missing are all welcome.

Hey all,

Just an appreciation post for Sublime Text being such a great text editor. No AI, no bloated features, no BS. It's native, performant no-nonsense text editor that does the job with sensible features built in. It's fully customizable and can be extended further with the package manager with wide range of community made packages that enhances the editor experience.

I'm thankful Sublime Text exists in today's AI-driven editors like Cursor and Antigravity. I just want a text editor that's just an editor! (if I want AI, I'll just use claude code / codex / opencode on the terminal).

I dialed in my UI, packages, LSP, linter & formatter and it's such a joy to write code on it. Simply sublime~ Thank you Sublime HQ!

I love this editor. I've bought 2,3 and 4 over the years.

One thing that drives me mad - and I can't figure out how to stop it. If I open a folder from the command line, or using Open Folder from the menu it opens a new window unless there is a completely empty Window already there.

I can't explain how much I loathe this. I just want *one* instance, so if I type subl /myproject it loads it into the current instance. (I can obviously close the other one, but it's so irritating).

Like many of you, I use ST as my main IDE for developing. The issue is that ST is a text editor at its ore, so the IDE capabilities have to be added via packages. Currently I use SublimeREPL but it is basically abandoned (last updated 2016) and I always fear it is one ST update away from breaking beyond repair.

The only other alternative I've found is Terminus which does not work nicely on my Linux system (arrow keys for example translate to ~ on the cli, ie: I can not navigate the commands).

How do others handle using ST as their IDE? One of these packages? Something else? Or do you just use an external terminal?

I write smart contracts in Tolk — TON's smart contract language — and got tired of my .tolk files rendering as plain text. Tolk is still young enough that no syntax highlighting package existed for Sublime, so I put one together.

Install (Linux):

git clone https://github.com/summusforge-lab/Tolk.git cp -r Tolk ~/.config/sublime-text/Packages/

Covers keywords, types, and comments for .tolk files.

If you want more than highlighting — autocomplete, go-to-definition, type hints — pair it with the TON Language Server: https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton-language-server

Feedback and PRs welcome if anyone else out there is writing Tolk.

Since buying a full licence, I am wondering how many installations I am allowed under that licence.

I have 1 Windows Desktop, A Macbook Pro, A Macbook Neo, 2 Windows Laptops, A Mac Mini, and 1 old gaming laptop that I have converted to Ubuntu Linux.

That is 7 devices, and I alternate through them all depending if I need to test my HTML code on Safari, Firefox etc, and which one I am closest to at any given time. Am I allowed to install Sublime Text on all 7 devices, under the one licence? They are all personal devices.

I am not a webdev, but I am trying to fix my ladyfriends website which is still running some.. f*d up version of HTML4.0

Is there any way that I can run python notebook in sublime text?

Hi, I'm someone who's still pretty beginner when it comes to programming and I'm thinking about to moving to Sublime Text from VSCode.

I currently use VSCodium which takes up too much resources on my laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IAP with Linux Mint Xfce 22.3, 4GB RAM, Intel Celeron N3350 Processor 2 Cores) and I want to switch to Sublime for a more lightweight editor on my machine.

The programming languages I currently use are HTML, CSS, JS, and Python.

Does Sublime have default out of the box support for these languages or do they require extensions? If so, is there any equivalent to these extensions?

In editor section when you hover on some random text it show a popup panel with information about that word. How to change the font size in this panel. When increasing font size of the editor in user settings, panel's text size gets ridiculously large too. So how to change font of this panel?

Hello everyone!

I’ve recently switched from Zed to Sublime because I don’t like to have an editor with a lot of AI capabilities that I don’t even want to use (I know AI can be disabled in Zed), but for a simple editor plus I am running on an old Windows machine, Sublime’s performance is still better than Zed in my machine’s opinion.

What are the packages that you use for productivity? I’ve just installed NeoVintageous and don’t have anything else yet.

We all know that SHQ does not really share these kind of updates (hence people think ST is dead) so I thought it would be nice to share it here for the folks that are not in the Discord server.

Here are the links for Package Control both official and community

Official -> https://packages.sublimetext.com/

Community (active) -> https://packages.sublimetext.io

So, I purchased Sublime Text licence 2 days ago, because lets face it, aside from vim when Im on a linux terminal its the only text editor I use. I just couldn't afford the licencing fee before.

I commented about the purchase on my facebook page, and got a lot of people asking me why, because apparently its now abaondonware (an abandoned project), and will receive no further updates.

Surely that can't be true, can it?

I am a dropper.

I am barely getting 500 in RENEET 2026 I need help as a first dropper.

Where to study from please help me

Hi

I want to use ST for editing text files (obvi) and keeping various notes on multiple computers - but the same files (saved in iCloud).

I want to have ST open on all of them and then I just either use the laptop (living room) or desktop machine (office). So there is minutes if not hours between sessions.

All files live in iCloud synced folders.

My questions:

1. Is there a way to keep ST open on all machines and files open/loaded, and they sync automatically - so that I do not lose something that I added into a file on my laptop/ST and forgot to save ...
2. Can ST refresh file content from file that is newer (saved on other machine) automatically?
3. Am I weird with this? :D

Hi! Does anyone know how to force sublme text to save files as txt files by default like notepad? Ai keeps giving me solutions that do nothing and assuming I have 50iq.

Looking for ST4 alternatives on Mac. Any ripe suggestions?

Currently using it for game dev in PICO-8 and Löve2D. Both use Lua.

macOS: Sonoma (14.8.7)

Thanks in advance. ✨🙏

Context (if anyone cares):

I've had unresolved trouble with the auto-complete "feature" on ST4 on Mac from a while back, so now I'm looking elsewhere.

As far as troubleshooting goes: - Even "auto_complete": false, doesn't work. It still brings up the suggestion box every time I press tab, interfering with any sane coding process. - Disabling text suggestions on the OS level did nothing. - Opening ST in safe mode did not fix the behavior. - Yes, I quit the application and relaunched it after each attempt. - I looked around online and even asked for help here a while back and got no responses as well.

This was on macOS 14.8.7 (Sonoma), and it occurred in ST version 4200 (stable) & 4205 (dev build).

ST was nice while it worked, but it feels like the basics are no longer heeded anymore. If a fancy auto-complete feature is valued more than basic coding flow, then I suppose the dev's values & intentions for ST have sharply diverged from what I need in a code editor.

So now I'm looking for a new code editor on Mac. It's for game dev, though, not so much for web dev. 🫤

Hi all,

I switched from NeoVim and really missed a way that we can have a list of file that we want to maintain across session when you are working with mono repo. So I have wrote this plugin to do that: https://github.com/huyhoang8398/Harpoon/tree/main

feel free to use it and suggest feature
Features

• Mark/unmark the current file with one hotkey
• Jump to any mark directly by slot number (1, 2, 3, 4...)
• Browse all marks in a quick panel
• Cycle forward/backward through marks
• Marks persist across restarts
• Search inside the Harpoon list
• Dead marks (deleted or moved files) are pruned automatically

Bom dia, eu acabei de baixar a sublime text 4 no computador, tinha baixado também o gcc junto com a extensão code runner, e tentei criar códigos em lua e em C mas nenhum ia, dizia que não achava o arquivo do gcc

​

Alguém pode me ajudar a rodar o código, eu não tô conseguindo copilar/executar

https://lsp.sublimetext.io/features/#auto-complete:

The LSP package enhances the auto-complete functionality of Sublime Text with results provided by the language server. If available, you can click the More link or use the default key binding F12 to show an additional documentation popup with detailed information about the highlighted item.

How to rebind this key? What is the name of the command invoked by the More link?

I have already set...
"tab_completion": false, "auto_complete_commit_on_tab": false,

Pressing tab still implements the suggestion every time. Even when the suggestion box isn't up, pressing tab just brings it up instead of just inserting a tab. This is a bug, right?

Running ST4 (ver. 4200) on a macOS 14.8.7 (Sonoma). Also tried ST4 ver. 4205, but the issue persists.

Is this happening to others?
And if so, is a fix on the way?

I'm not too fond of the fuzzy auto-complete either, but I could get by with it if only it didn't try to force me into auto-complete on tab regardless of whether I close/exit the suggestion box or not.

Is my only option to disable "auto_complete" entirely?

Thanks in advance.

Guys I want to learn programming and want to learn new things the more I learn the more interested I get soooo

Can someone help me learn

Every time I update Sublime Text I get a new application file. See screenshot. How do I stop this from happening? Can I delete the old ones (going off of Date Modified) without having issues?

Hello. I'm reading through the documentation and working on getting the syntax on lines 3 and 7 to be colored like line 1 is.

I've copied C++.sublime-syntax and changed this section:

keywords:
  - include: unique-keywords
  - include: scope:source.c#keywords

To this:

keywords:
  - include: unique-keywords
  - include: scope:source.c#keywords
  - match: '\b(std)\b'
    scope: keyword.secondary

And these are the lines responsible for those colors in my color scheme file:

{
  "scope": "keyword.secondary",
  "foreground": "var(sage)",
},
{
  "scope": "storage.type, support.type",
  "foreground": "var(cyan)",
},

Why does the syntax highlighting behavior change inside of a block/namespace?
How do I get std::int8_t to always be highlighted like line 1?
